We have dinner and drinks here once a week and we love the staff and the food! Wonderful management and treated like family! We used the upstairs room for a party for the first time last month and everything was wonderful!! So happy to have this experience so close to home.

Joao was absolutely incredible! From the moment we were seated, he made us feel welcomed and taken care of. He was attentive without being overbearing, had great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. His warm energy really elevated our dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back—and asking for Joao!

Had an awesome experience! The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was fun, lively, and spotless. I ordered the Rodizio, and every cut of meat was expertly prepared—each one better than the last. The sides were just as impressive—especially the potato salad, which came dangerously close to my mother’s (and that’s saying something!). Perfect spot for a group dinner or celebration. Highly recommend!

My husband took me here for valentines. The staff was so overwhelmed. We had to ask our waitress for my drink 3 times. She didn’t bring any of the additional things we asked for and we didn’t even bother because she seemed like she was going through it, it was PACKED. And for good reason. The food here is amazing, the staff is so kind. The staff they have going around with the rodizio are great, very attentive. I am very picky about paella, it’s my favorite thing to eat and not everyone makes it right. This place knows how to make paella!! I wish they would put calamari then it would be perfection. But these people know what they’re doing when it comes to flavor.

Came to celebrate my wife’s birthday with the family and had a very nice dinner. Staff was very attentive and friendly while food was amazing. We had the Rodizio and for me the picanaha is one of the best cuts. If you want some authentic taste without dealing with the Newark parking this is the place
