The owner Adolfo runs the place with real energy&mdash;kitchen, dining room, everywhere. Lamb with saffron risotto was solid, though I&#39;d have liked a bolder wine list to match.

The wine list here is solid&mdash;our server actually suggested a great pairing with the truffle pasta. Quiet spot, easy to talk. Service was attentive without hovering. Would come back for that bottle alone. 🍷

The pistachio dessert was the star. Sweet but not heavy, great texture. Everything else was fine but that one dish really stood out.

The lasagna was solid, and they had a drive-thru during the pandemic&mdash;pretty handy. Wish they had a better wine list to match, though.

The sushi here is pretty creative, some pieces I haven&rsquo;t seen anywhere else. Really fresh too. Only thing is I wish the special rolls were included in the all-you-can-eat deal, that would&rsquo;ve made it perfect for me. Still, I left full and happy.

The chicken croquettes with catupiry are still as good as ever. Fried just right and always fresh. I&#39;d cross town for them again.

Nice spot right by the sea, deck seating is awesome. Food was tasty and looked great. Little pricey but fine for the vibe.

Beach service was decent and the Asian food options hit the spot. Portions were fair for the price. Nothing mind-blowing, but a solid pick if you&#39;re staying nearby.

The Amoretto &mdash; white chocolate with blackberry &mdash; is the one to get. Creamy, not too sweet, just right. Service was attentive without hovering. Place was a bit warm inside, but honestly I forgot about it once I tasted the ice cream.

The crepes here are really good, and the dessert was a solid way to end the meal. I&rsquo;ll say this though&mdash;the place is pretty small, and those wooden chairs get uncomfortable after a while. But honestly, the food quality makes up for it. I&rsquo;d come back just for the savory one I had. Just don&rsquo;t plan on sitting too long after you finish.

The prawn patties with banana mousse were so good 😍 Grilled cod was solid too. Place has a nice rustic feel and they let my dog in, which is always a win.

Came here on a regular Tuesday night, no wait which was nice. Got the grilled fish and it was cooked right, flaky and juicy. Place was pretty busy but not chaotic. Service was fine, nothing fancy but they checked on us enough. Prices are fair for the neighborhood. Would come back if I&#39;m craving seafood again.

The steak with gnocchi was good, but honestly the service from Stephani and Joice made it better. They even took time to show us around. Portion size was decent for the price.

Stopped by for a quick dessert after dinner. Gelato was solid &mdash; creamy texture, pistachio and Belgian chocolate both hit the mark. Menu changes daily, which keeps it interesting. Service was fast, no complaints there. Price is fair for the portion. Not the kind of place you go out of your way for, but if you&#39;re in the area, it does the job.

The plating was gorgeous, honestly. Got the salmon bowl and it looked almost too pretty to eat. Fresh ingredients, light but filling. Place is small though, so you might wait a bit for a table. Would come back to try the smoothie bowls. 🌿

The gelato was really good, especially the Belgian chocolate and the sugar-free coconut. Can&rsquo;t complain about the quality. But the prices are kinda high for what you get. It&rsquo;s right by the coast so the location is super convenient, but I&rsquo;d probably only stop by if I&rsquo;m already in the area. Nice little treat, just not a regular spot for me.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and honestly the price caught me off guard&mdash;in a good way 😄 Food tastes like something homemade, not the usual bland center-of-town stuff. Seasoning was on point. Place is simple, nothing fancy, but for a fast bite with friends it totally works. Just wish they had a bit more seating, we almost had to wait.

The grilled fish was the real deal &mdash; cooked perfectly, flaky, lots of flavor. Portion was decent for the price, honestly. Place has that rustic vibe but it&#39;s clean and well kept. Staff left us alone until we needed them, which I appreciate. Good spot if you&#39;re around the beach area and want something low-key.

Ceviche was spot on. Fresh, well seasoned, decent portion for the price. Helena got us seated fast even with the crowd. Came back the next day.

The live piano was a nice touch, for sure. Menu&#39;s got English versions, which helped a lot. Service was friendly and quick. But honestly, the sides were a bit weird, not what I expected. Still, the main dish was good and the portion was decent for what you pay. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The red fruit caipirinha was really good. Decent spot, family-run feel. Just wish they had more seating, got a bit cramped.

The pizza&rsquo;s still solid after all these years&mdash;that wood-fired crust is the real deal. New space is bigger but gets loud, so not the best for a quiet date. Fine for groups though.

Decent Brazilian spot. Went for lunch, buffet had plenty of salads and hot options. The grilled meats are the main draw - picanha was properly cooked, came right off the fire. Service was efficient, no complaints there. Price is fair for what you get. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The dough here is really light, not heavy at all. Toppings were generous too. Nice retro vibe inside, pretty chill spot for pizza in Taubat&eacute;.

The feijoada here is legit. Black beans cooked right, pork tender, not overly salty. I&#39;m picky about Brazilian food and this hit the spot. Portion was generous too. Didn&#39;t care much about the garden or the owner, but the food speaks for itself. Would come back just for that dish.

The pineapple carpaccio dessert really stood out to me. So refreshing and light, not too sweet. Place itself is pretty calm, easy to chill and take your time. Service was nice too, checked on us without being pushy. I&#39;d come back just for that dessert honestly.

The milanesa sandwich here hit the spot&mdash;crispy and juicy. Caipirinhas were a nice touch too. Place fills up fast, so come early if you want a seat.

Sushi was decent, pizza surprised me. Deck right on the beach, perfect for watching the sunset. Service quick enough. Nothing fancy but does the job.

The fish croquettes and hake in shrimp sauce were solid. Portion was big enough for two, no doubt. Luigi took care of us, super friendly. Nice spot for a quick bite.
