"The waitress started out with telling us the 5 items on the menu that the restaurant is currently out of, gnocci and chu chu among them. But the menu is very large with a lot of choices including American cuisine like meatball subs and burgers, a separate vegan/vegetarian menu, and a nice selection of Brazilian options including about 6 types of Brazilian steaks. I had pulled pork with rice beans, my vegan wife had a vegan steak with onions mushrooms, my nephew had chicken and beef kabobs and his date had a veggie burger. First impressions are important and I have to say the presentation of my meal could have been better. The meat was on top of the white rice on half of the plate and the beans on the other half of the plate. Everything brown and white. Even a sprig of parsley could have made it look better, or better yet a colored vegetable coming as part of the meal (there were no vegetables, not counting rice beans) or at least a flower designed from a radish or something. That said, the pork was very tasty and portion sizes were generous. I had a side of fried yucca that was very good. Overall I was very pleased with my meal. My nephew had the kabobs and was disappointed it was just meat on skewers on white rice. Someone put a picture on a website about the restaurant showing kabobs with green peppers and onions alternating with the meat. The meat was tasty but would have been better with the green peppers and onions. He also ordered macaroni cheese and expected it to be home made, but it was clearly a store bought version heated up. The veggie burger and the veggie steak both came with lettuce tomato and were decent but not outstanding. We were the only customers in the restaurant, so the waitress was attentive, but the meal did take 45 minutes to be prepared, which seemed long. There was a choice of one desert, a Brazilian name, but a pudding made from fresh pumpkin and coconut, which was unusual and pretty good. There were no Brazilian coffees, teas or sodas, if such things exist."
