This is a casual Brazilian style restaurant with plenty of meat, fresh fruits and vegetables and incredible service. The head cook is from Rio, Brazil, so you’re sure to enjoy some authentic Brazilian food.  Be sure to try the delicious Portuguese table wine!  This is a favorite of our President Jimmy Jones, so it has to be good!
