I had high expectations based on the feedback I'd heard, but it must have been for other locations. The food was bland and lacked flavor, and while the service was just okay, the staff did nothing to address beggars approaching tables to ask for money or sell candy. They came right up to us, which made the experience uncomfortable. I wouldn't return to this location.
My experience was mostly good, except for the caiparinha I ordered. The bartender should take a trip to Rio and learn how to make it properly!
Grand plate was good, cocktails were good, lobster knuckles were a disappointment. Would have ordered another share plate but server was really slow so we gave up and just closed our tab. OK.
Food and service were impeccable. The happy hour special is a great deal, and provided the opportunity to try a variety of dishes at a moderate price point. I'll definitely be coming back.
Incredible service, beautiful room and good food. The happy hour menu is very affordable and the food comes super fast. What a location too!

Excellent food and atmosphere! Special thanks to our fantastic server for taking the effort to explain the great variety of oysters. Food was well seasoned and presented. Fun location on the corner of a busy block on a Sunday night!

Great food and pleasant quick service. We went during happy hour and were amazed how good the food and service was.
Came in for a light bite. The oysters were fresh and delicious! The calamari and fries were kinda mid. Cocktails were yum. The vibe was perfect. Chill and intimate yet open like you could still enjoy your own little moment while still soaking in the energy around you. The kindness of the staff is 10/10.

Got there in the nick of time for happy hour oysters...yay! Yummy, and I'll admit I'm not sure what type of oysters, but I prefer mine super briny. Calamari was fried beautifully so it was crispy but not chewy.

A small menu with a lot of great options. I had the lobster mac n cheese which had a solid amount of lobster in it.
