Nut allergy friendly: Everything we ordered was safe for me!
We stopped in at around 8PM on a Sunday and were luckily seated immediately with a party of 5.
Time to Appetizer: ~10 Minutes
Time to Entree: ~25 Minutes
We weren't too hungry, and ordered:
-Brazilian Patties (Cod) (5/5): Perfect sharable appetizer that comes with a sauce with a really nice zesty kick. Like upgraded fish sticks.

We absolutely love this place! My favorites are the seafood rice and salmon with mango salsa, but really you can’t go wrong. Drinks and juices are also top notch. The staff is always so kind.
