Went for the omakase and honestly the bluefin tuna was the highlight. For what you pay, the portion and quality feel right. I&#39;ve had way pricier omakase in other cities that didn&#39;t hit this level. Just wish they&#39;d slow down a bit between courses, felt a little rushed.

The food was really good and the staff were patient with us since we didn&#39;t speak much Portuguese. Prices felt fair for what we got. Comfortable spot to just sit and enjoy the meal.

The Japanese rod&iacute;zio had a good variety, and the plates looked really nice. Food matched the presentation, which was a pleasant surprise. Just wish the seating area was a bit more comfortable for a long meal.

Came here on a Tuesday night, place was packed but we got a table fast. Food&#39;s solid, nothing fancy, just honest cooking. Had the grilled fish and it was fresh, came with rice and beans like it should. Service was quick even with the crowd. Only thing is the tables are close together, you kinda hear everyone&#39;s conversation. But for the price, you can&#39;t complain. I&#39;ll be back when I want a decent meal without the fuss.

The brownie with Nutella sauce was the highlight for me &mdash; warm, rich, not too sweet. I came for the live music and stayed for dessert, honestly. Staff were friendly too, though I didn&#39;t try much else on the menu. Would go back just for that brownie, maybe with a coffee next time.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the shrimp in coconut sauce &mdash; fresh, came out fast. Staff helped me order even though my Portuguese is basically zero. Solid spot if you&#39;re in a hurry and want something decent.

Service was good, even though the place was packed. They kept checking on us, never felt rushed. That little lamp on the table was a nice touch, made it cozy. Not the fastest kitchen, but we weren&#39;t in a hurry anyway. Solid spot for a casual meal.

The frango &agrave; passarinho was the real deal. Crispy, garlicky, juicy inside. Had it with a cold draft beer and that was it. Didn&#39;t care about the TVs or the crowd. Just that chicken. Maybe a bit oily at the end but I&#39;d order it again.

Came here with a couple of friends and honestly the filet mignon with potato mille-feuille was the star. Cooked just right, super tender. The chocolate dessert was fun texture-wise too. Prices felt fair for what you get. Place is a bit fancy but not stuffy, good for a chill catch-up. Would go back if I&#39;m craving a nice steak 😊

Went back twice in one day. Picanha was the highlight, though the chicken hearts and cheese rolls hit the spot too. Fish was decent.

Solid draft beer selection. Good spot to chill with friends, view of the Jockey Club is a nice touch. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Been coming here for a while now, and honestly the service is what keeps me coming back. Staff remembers you, knows when to check in and when to leave you alone. Food&#39;s solid too, but that consistency in service is rare. Only thing I don&#39;t love is the mall setting, no windows, feels a bit closed in. Still, it&#39;s my go-to spot when I want a reliable meal.

The server really made the difference here. She noticed we were struggling with the menu in English and took her time to explain everything. Even helped us with a few words when our Portuguese just wouldn&#39;t come out right. Felt like she genuinely cared about us getting a good meal, not just rushing through the order. Nice to feel looked after like that when you&#39;re not totally comfortable with the language.

The moqueca here is seriously good. Big portion, rich flavor, and the fish was cooked just right. Price was fair for what you got.

Had breakfast here during my stay in Rio. The full breakfast was really good, honestly the best one I tried in the city. Service was friendly and the place felt comfortable, not rushed at all. Only thing is it can get a bit busy later in the morning, but we went early and it was fine. Would come back again.

Stopped by for dinner before a meeting nearby. Food was solid, service efficient. The setting inside the Jockey Club is pretty unique, adds something you don&#39;t usually get. Prices fair for what you get. Not mind-blowing, but consistent. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Banana and cinnamon dessert pizza was the highlight. Different from the usual sweet stuff you get around here. Good way to close out the meal.

The rib risotto was the standout. Rich and hearty, exactly what I wanted. Caesar salad was solid too. Tiramisu finished it off right.

The tiramisu was honestly the best I&#39;ve had in a long time. Seafood pasta was solid too. Place is tiny and cozy, exactly what you want from an Italian spot.

Came for the rod&iacute;zio, left full. The sashimi was thick and fresh, exactly what I wanted. Price was fair for the amount they bring out.

The gluten-free pizza with burrata and fried garlic was solid. Antonio knew his stuff and didn&#39;t make me feel like a hassle for asking questions. Crust held up better than most places.

Been here a few times before heading to Maracan&atilde;. The beef rib pie never disappoints. Gets super crowded on game days, but that&#39;s expected. Staff still managed to be helpful.

Been coming here for over 8 years&mdash;the shrimp dishes are consistently excellent, and the service stays friendly. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.

Been coming here for a while now, mostly for the weekday lunch. Portions are solid and the food&#39;s always consistent. That iced tea with red orange though, that&#39;s the reason I keep ordering it. Nice to have a spot you can count on without thinking too much about it.

Small spot in Leblon, good vibe for a Tuesday night. Had the skewers, pretty tasty. Not a fancy place but does the job. Fine if you&#39;re in the area and wanna grab a beer.

Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly the cod fritters are the reason to come. Crispy outside, soft inside, just salty enough. Had one with a cold draft beer and that combo hit the spot. Place gets busy around lunch but it&#39;s worth squeezing in. Nothing fancy, just solid food done right.

Fresh salad bowls, made my own with what I wanted. Ingredients were fresh and service was quick. Good spot for a workday lunch, nothing fancy but it works.

The duck was really good &mdash; crispy skin, juicy inside. We waited about 45 minutes but honestly it was fine. Also tried the duck ravioli, which I wasn&#39;t expecting much from but it ended up being pretty solid. Place was a bit cramped though, tables are close together. Not the most comfortable seating but the food made up for it.

Decent spot. I came back a few times while I was in the area. Staff handled a mix-up with my order pretty fast, even though my Portuguese is shaky. Portions are generous, which I appreciated. Food was fine, nothing mind-blowing, but it did the job. Maybe a bit busy around lunch, but that&#39;s on me for the timing.

The live music really sets the vibe here. It gets packed on weekends, but the staff still manages to stay friendly. Good spot if you don&#39;t mind the crowd. 🎶
