Get the Moqueca Bahiana!!! – Truly outstanding food! The Moqueca Bahiana is one of the best meals I've ever had, and the ceviche is absolutely sublime.
Tranquilo Latin American style sets it apart. – The Scene This bar and restaurant occupies two rooms: a small square barroom has earthen floor tiles, burnt-orange walls and a wine-glass cabinet made of multi-colored panes; a second room is painted entirely turquoise and filled with dark-wood tables and chairs. Both are lit by ornate sconces and the tables' white candles. The Food Along with pan-Latin cuisine, you can order Cuban and Brazilian cocktails, creamy batidas and red wines from Chile and Argentina. The restaurant pl... read more
Good food + strong, authentic Brazilian drinks – I went here with 4 friends for my birthday and we had a great time! I had made a reservation earlier in the day and thankfully when we arrived we had to wait only 5 minutes to be seated. The food was delicious (A+ on the plantain encrusted goat cheese w. leek salad & the chocolate souffle) and our drinks were really good. The mojito is not too sugary, and the capirinha is extra strong. Do not get the mango capirinha though ~ it is awful. Opt for the pineapple or kiwi flavored ... read more
Overpriced small average meals – In a party of five, I ordered one a shrimp specials, two people ordered the steak, one had a tapas platter, and one the pollo del la casa. None of us were blown away, and in fact we were all shocked at the size. I read through other reviews and was surprised to find no one else mentioned the size of the meals. Maybe they decided to for whatever reason to give us small meals?? I mean, mine had maybe 7 regular sized shrimp and a small pile of rice and salsa. It tasted fine, but to pay 15 dollar... read more
so crowded on friday night – I loved the chocolate volcano. A bit too cozy...my elbow was rubbing up against the person of the next table. A bit on the salty side, but overall a fun place with great & festive ambiance.
Saucy, Eclectic and Trendy--But Hello! No Sangria. – Great date spot, excellent spot to take out-of-towners and friends. Even with reservations you will wait for a table but it's fine because the bar makes excellent mojitos to help pass the time nicely. The food here is delicious but forego the steak because it's average. Also, beware, while it can be inexpensive, the bill adds up fast. Dining outside makes it a great balmy summernight dinner option.
Great Caipi's & Vibe – I have been going here for a few years now. I like the vibe, food & music. Service is just ok, nice but ok. Perhaps its the brazilian way of life to chill and be laid back. (ps I dont go here for the service) I dig the kiwi caipirinha and the coconut drink. The chayote salad is refreshing. The Feijoda is tasty, like I remember from brazil. Hearts of Palm dish with shrimp was great too. Empanadas & Salmon entree were ok. Keep up the good work.
Great dinner and a fun atmosphere – I just went to Esperanto on a friend's restaurant for my birthday, and it was definitely worth the trip! They sat us promptly on our reservation, and the waitress was very attentive and quick with our orders. The food was delicious, and we were mostly drinking mojitos which were also perfect. There was a band playing great latin music, and that made the atmosphere really fun. All in all it made for a great dinner, and now that I've been there I'm definitely heading back soon.
BAD SERVICE! – This place left a bad taste in my mouth before I even ate there. It began when I requested an 8pm reservation and was rudely declined due to their preference to "walk in's" policy. We ask to order appetizers but they insist we need to order our entrees at the same time, and dessert as the dessert takes a while to cook. We advised the waitress, our friend would be arriving momentarily to order. When my friend arrived, not more than 2 minutes later, she was advised she could only order a few things off the menu ... read more
