As someone who has worked in several restaurants I truly appreciate this place.They do it right. I dont leave reviews on restaurants but every time I’ve been here the service is above and beyond, the food is fresh and the place is clean. Not to mention the steak dinner is $24!!

This was our first visit and we really liked it. We had the Coxinha (deep-fried dough stuffed with creamy chicken) and Fried Plantains as starters. Both absolutely yummy! We recommend this Brazilian restaurant and will absolutely come back!

Definitely will be back! The food was great, fairly-priced, and there were clearly marked vegetarian and vegan options. Our server Zack was super attentive and all the staff was very friendly.

The food here was really delicious, and there is a good selection of vegetarian/vegan items (that are clearly marked!) which is important to me. The service was outstanding, all the staff were very lovely and attentive. The atmosphere is solid and standard restaurant vibes. Definitely will be back.Vegetarian options: Good section for vegetarian and vegan dishes that are clearly marked.

Very much enjoyed the food. We got the Sampa Explosion sampler platter, which was fun to try the various things - mostly they tasted like well fried dough, so a little lacking on the flavor, except for the Croquetas, which were VERY good and super flavorful. My Muqueca was great and my husband loved his Prato Feito. Not an amazing menu for semi-picky or picky kids, but hey they have French fries and white rice - so my kids did eat. We went home plenty full (maybe too full). It was pretty mellow on a Wednesday at 6:45, and service was fast. The one negative I'd say is that they have 3 or 4 TVs going, which was really distracting for my kids. As adults only I could have ignored them, but I also don't feel like it added anything and would have been a nicer dining experience over all without them.
