Service was outstanding and ambiance amazing. But we are there for the food and it was lacking sorry to put that out there

Dadinhos de tapioca and Croquetes de carne seca were my favorites. Friendly staff and amazing caipirinhas. Brazilian approved:

This place blew my mind. The food is extraordinary. Service was amazing. Nice space. I usually wait to go to a place at least twice before I review. But I felt I should write this now. I'll update after I go again. The steak was one of the best I've ever had. The ceviche incredible. All the appetizers we had, the drinks, all top notch. And being a musician, and a big fan of Brazilian music, it was nice to hear Gilberto Gil, Caetano, Djvan, Edu Lobo, et al, while we dined. Highly recommended.

Caboco was the closest restaurant from where we were standing, so basing it purely off that (and to be honest, the mood of the lighting- a restaurant nearby had white bright lights! on a Friday night?! we decided to walk in. I love Brazilian food, so imagine my delight when we walked in! We were immediately welcomed and sat down, thankfully they accept walk-ins. Our server was quick to help us out, and his recommendations helped make our decision. Also, if you're shocked by the price and thinking of not giving it a chance-don't panic! They serve the entrees sort of family-style, well at least it's portioned for 2 people. And it comes with all the sides listed. Definitely a good place to bring along a plus one. We got the beef croquette appetizer and steak entree as well as 2 caipirinhas- wish I could remember which ones. It was a classic one and another that was recommended by our server. If I remember correctly it maybe the sweetest one they have, but it wasn't sweet at all (in a good way! . You guys. Best meal I've had in a very long while, and I've been having some great meals. It was a good move having the beef croquette as the appetizer. It was meaty flavorful, and it was perfectly paired with the dipping sauce. The rib steak entree. The steak!! It was so tender delicious. Nothing more to say except you gotta have it. Absolutely mouth watering. Writing this review makes me miss it already. Thank you to the chef who made our meal. I'll be thinking about their cooking for a long time, it's definitely set the bar for me. Can't forget the sides. Every single thing was so good. The baby broccoli, the perfect blend of citrus vinaigrette on the salad, and especially the coconut fried rice were things worth writing home about. Not a single thing missed a beat, from the ambiance that lured us in to the last bite. If I could give well over 5 stars I would.
