Excellent food, warm, inviting decor, friendly staff.

Disgusting. Behind the facade there is something deeply wrong here. At first I thought it was an undercooked vegeatable or rice until I broke a tooth and then started pulling little shards of bone from from my mouth. I'm repulsed that I swallowed some of them. I get nauseous thinking about this place.

Food wasn't edible. Restaurant wouldn't take or return numerous calls

Found out later we were overcharged

Beware

The octopus and bean stew was excellent, friendly service and interesting drinks! Table was a tad small but overall, it’s a winner.

Great place with tasty food and friendly service. I wanted to try picanha and it didn't disappoint. Don't forget to get pastel de nata for dessert.

It was our 1st time here & WE WILL BE BACK. OMG the food is SO good. We had the Yuca fries with the Aioli sauce. WICKED. I am glad I had a plate to myself, wasn't about to share it. Sorry there are no photos, we were too busy eating!

For dinner we both had the Salmāo Grelhado ao Molho de Marcuja,
a grilled salmon dish which was AWESOME. We had sides of sauteed collard greens, SUPERLATIVE.

Oh, the helpings are quite generous.

The service was great as well.

Bottom line, as I said, we WILL be back.

This place is incredibly loud and the service is frustratingly slow. If you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet spot, I wouldn’t recommend it. The way they treat customers is just unacceptable—definitely not worth the experience ?

Food is great. Staff is friendly. However very cramped for big guys. Small tables. And parking in the heart of Jersey City is next to impossible. Food alone makes it worth it. I just wish the tables and spacing was better.

I absolutely love this very authentic Brazilian restaurant. As someone who lived in Brazil I can say this is the real deal. The staff and owners are always so welcoming and friendly! The pão de queijo is a must, the coxinha are excellent, the stroganoff is perfect, and you must finish with some delicious brigadeiros! E uma delícia realmente!!!!

I am Brazilian and I absolutely loved this place. Their food is to die for. Besides that, the decor is just perfect, they really reate the atmosphere so you feel like in a boutique restaurant in Brazil. For starters we had the tapioca squares with passion fruit dip- amazingly delicious, and so were the pão de queijo (filled with delicious queijo de minas) and the coxinhas - give me more of those! Then for the entrees we ordered the escondidinho, which was just perfect, bobo de camarão and feijoada da casa. We also had de Amazonas salad and ended with passion fruit mousse and pastel de nata. We were a party of five with a child, and we didn’t leave anything to take home- just because the flavors were so delicious. Absolutely will make this our place in JC.
