"Fui despretensiosamente em um domingo a noite, se não me engano, e foi uma agradável surpresa conhecer este restaurante. O ambiente estava muito animado com um grupo de pagode, e aos poucos muitas pessoas animadas foram chegando para aproveitar o fim do dia. O garçom era muito educado e nos atendeu rapidamente. Pedimos empadas de camarão, pastel de siri, pastel de Camarão com catupiry e uma porção de batata frita. Tudo estava bem feito e em quantidade ok. A cerveja também estava bem gelada. Tivemos uma noite agradável e recomendo bastante esse restaurante."

"Went her for lunch during my work day. Did not have time to explore the menu in detail, so I've ordered some Empada from "the King of Empada" and some drinks. The over all experience was short, but what I had was memorable."

"Estava passeando pelo lugar com meu sobrinho e família quando tive o prazer de almoçar nesse restaurante. O garçom foi bem atencioso sobretudo para com minha mãe explicando sobre os peixes servidos. Dica: não deixe de provar o filé de congro rosa que é bem delicioso. Também pedimos alguns pastéis que foram bem aprovados, sobretudo pelas crianças. Ambiente agradável (gostei dos barcos em miniatura da decoração), cerveja bem gelada, comida saborosa e que não demorou a chegar na mesa."
