“ Comida honesta, bem servida , eu e minha criança de 7 anos dividimos um executivo de peixe do dia. ”
“ O lugar tem bom atendimento e boa comida. Fui durante a semana e o Chopp estava 4,99 e super gelado. O combo de petiscos é uma delícia. O garçom é super prestativo e acolhedor. Ele fica em frente ao bar do Mariano que é muito tradicional no bairro do Grajaú. Uma sugestão em dias muito quentes: colocar ventiladores e/ou umidificadores para os clientes, pois eu fui embora por causa do calor mas recomendo muito o local. ”
“ One of my favorite experiences in Rio. If you're staying inland or if you need a break from the beach, find your way here. Atmosphere is very easy and comfortable. Food is A+. Also ask about Andres' sports bar down the street to blend in with the locals at night. Learn some basic Portuguese as very few speak English. Andres runs the bar and speaks good English and loves a good chat. Can't wait to come back! ”
