Having never before eaten Brazilian food, I recently went to Brazil and ate delicious food there. My wife had also never had Brazilian food and was unable to accompany me to Brazil. So, to attempt to bridge the gap, I took her to The Grill from Ipanema. The food was delicious! (I was very similar to what I ate in Brazil, in the best way!) Our server was excellent: friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely be returning!

We had a wonderful outside patio dinner there last night during the evening of Porchfest. Such a welcoming and friendly staff, great food, great caipirinha- agree with previous comments about this. I highly recommend the restaurant!
May 2025
the food was delicious, unique, good staff, found parking a couple of blocks away. Would recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience. One thing to note, sometimes the staff clears the table when there is still food on the plate and they neglect to ask you if you are done-which they should do.
