Visitor Testimonials (1282)

Foi um almoço memorável, fizemos o encontro da família e como sempre que venho ao Rio de Janeiro fui a esse restaurante cuja comida é maravilhosa e o garçom que nós atende é um ótimo profissional!

Comida sempre deliciosa, ambiente precisa ser mais gostoso, aconchegante e cheiroso. A demora no serviço que deixa um pouco a desejar.

Muito tradicional e acolhedor. Nada de "luxos" nas instalações. Mas, o atendimento dos garçons (Sr. Bastos e demais) e a qualidade dos pratos, petiscos e tudo o que é servido são simplesmente MARAVILHOSOS!

A experiência gastronômica foi excepcional! O peixe é sempre fresco, o ambiente acolhedor e o atendimento impecável. Os atendentes são extremamente educados e atenciosos, fazendo questão de proporcionar um serviço personalizado, inclusive acompanhando os clientes até a saída. É um lugar ao qual sempre retorno e recomendo de olhos fechados!
