delicious food perfect service delivered our customized menu perfectly

Amazing restaurant! Delicious food, great live music and nice place. Artur was the best server we had in a long long time. I really recommend!

Super nice service, they were always making sure that we were having a great experience. The crab stew is delicious , also arrumadinho and the coconut desert is a must to try . Definitely a place to visit if you are at Jeri.

We had an incredible dinner. We got two complementary entrees when we arrived that were delicious. Some of us had crab for the first time and they received a demonstration on how to clean it. Everything was delicious and the staff extremely courteous. Not to mention the great caipirinhas and caipifrutas. Unfortunately we didn’t get to try the desserts because they were sold out but they would have probably been as good as the rest of the dinner
