William hooked me up with the chicken in a cornfield with ora-pro-nobis. Spot on, exactly what I needed for a quick lunch break. Place was busy but food came out fast enough. That dish alone is worth coming back for. Solid pick if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and the service stood out right away. Staff was on top of everything, super friendly without hovering. Pizza was solid too &mdash; dough had a good chew, toppings generous. Place got busy later but they kept checking in. Just wish the table wasn&#39;t so close to the door, got a bit of a draft.

The Bobo de Camarao was the star of the night&mdash;so creamy and full of shrimp. Caipirinhas were strong too, maybe the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. Service was quick and friendly, no complaints there. Just wish I had room for dessert, honestly.

The Thai rice with trout was the star &mdash; so much flavor in every bite. The mushroom platter with pesto was solid too. Neverland dessert surprised me, sweet and savory at the same time.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a seat near the bookshelves. The steak tartare was solid&mdash;good seasoning, came with decent bread. I had the iced lemongrass tea instead of wine since it was still early. Nice change of pace. Place gets busy fast, so timing matters. Worth checking out if you&#39;re in the area.

The buffet spread was solid&mdash;plenty of fresh salads and hot dishes that were well-seasoned. A bit of a drive to get there, but the wine list made it worth it.

The grilled salmon was perfectly seasoned, not dry at all. The a&ccedil;a&iacute; bowl tasted fresh, though a bit small for the price. Left full but not heavy.

The homemade sausage with cassava fritters was a solid start, and that chicken with okra really hit the spot. Fireplace made it cozy too. Service was on point.

The river view really is something, and the decor is nice too. Had the set lunch, which was decent for the price. Live music was a good touch, not too loud. Place was pretty busy but we got a table by the window. Food came out fine, nothing fancy but solid. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The seating area near the play corner was a lifesaver&mdash;my daughter could hang out while I actually enjoyed my meal. Food was solid, prices fair. Just wish the tables weren&#39;t so close together, felt a bit cramped.

Great spot if you&#39;re into fish &mdash; solid beer list and parking was super easy. Portions are generous, I couldn&#39;t even finish mine. 🍺

The Camar&atilde;o a Brasileira was the reason I came and yeah, it didn&#39;t disappoint. So much shrimp, honestly could&#39;ve fed three of us. The boat-shaped appetizer platter was a cute touch too. Place was buzzing with families, kids running around the play area. Just a heads up, it gets loud. But for a casual meal, it works.

Stopped by for dinner and honestly the wood-fired pizza was the highlight &mdash; thin crust, crispy edges, toppings tasted fresh. Place has that rustic Italian vibe, pretty cozy inside. Ivan was super attentive, kept checking in without being pushy. Only thing is it got a bit loud later. But I&#39;d go back for that pizza.

The meat fondue was decent, filet mignon tender with good sauces. Chocolate fondue finished it nicely. Fair price for the portions.

The tacos were pretty solid, but definitely more Mexican-inspired than authentic. Heads up &mdash; almost everything comes loaded with cheese, so keep that in mind if you&#39;re dairy-free.

The trout was really fresh, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. Still, the quiet spot by the water makes it a decent stop if you&#39;re in the area.

We came here for our anniversary and J&uacute;lio and Simone took such good care of us. The trout with Sicilian lemon risotto was cooked just right, flaky and tender. Even the couvert with pine nuts was a nice touch. I&rsquo;m picky about fresh ingredients and this felt really quality. Only thing, it&rsquo;s a bit pricey, but for the care they put in, I get it.

The fondue buffet is honestly a good deal&mdash;plenty of food and you can actually go back for more. Paid R$210 for two people, which felt fair. The place has a cozy vibe, chairs are comfy enough to sit for a while. Service was fine too, nothing to complain about.

Cozy spot, got a free dessert after lunch which was a nice surprise. Service was on point, not hovering or anything. Solid place if you&#39;re in the area.

The band was playing when we got there, and the place had a nice buzz. Beer came out properly cold, which I appreciated. Portions were pretty generous too, I couldn&#39;t finish mine. Only thing is it got a bit loud by the end, but that&#39;s expected with live music. Comfortable enough to stay for another round.

Stopped by for a quick bite and ended up browsing the whole shop. Lots of cacha&ccedil;a and cheese to look at, plus wines and sweets. They let me sample a few things before buying, which was cool. Had a seat outside with a glass and some cheese. Prices are fair for what you get. Nice spot if you&#39;re in the area and wanna pick up something local.

The octopus with black rice was the real deal&mdash;cooked just right, not rubbery at all. Sat outside by the river, caught the light show going on across the water. Nice touch. Staff kept checking in without being annoying. Bill came out a bit steep, but for that view and the food, I can&#39;t complain too much. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Solid pastel spot on the main street in Maring&aacute;. Filling was generous and service was fast. Place is tiny though, so don&#39;t expect to sit around long.

The caramelized filet mignon with parmesan risotto is still my go-to after three visits. Tain&aacute; always remembers how I like it.

The Friday fondue special was decent for what you pay. Meat and cheese options are pretty basic, but the staff made up for it. Friendly service goes a long way.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed the pesto pizza. Dough was nice and chewy, you can tell they use fresh stuff. Toppings tasted quality, not the usual frozen mess you get around here. Wish the slice was a bit bigger for the price, but honestly, it hit the spot. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The menu covers everything from trout to pasta and filet mignon. Food was well-executed, and the outdoor seating was a plus. Pretty solid spot.

The lighting and the old vinyl corner really got me. I ended up staying way longer than planned just soaking in the vibe. The records on display were a nice touch, not something you see every day. Cozy spot, though the seats near the window are a bit cramped. Still, I&#39;d come back for that atmosphere alone.
