Beautiful views! This location is located in the shopping plaza. The rooftop was a challenge to find, but an employee on the lower level was quick to assist me with locating. The service was great. The rooftop overlooks the marina. The food was filled with flavor and well portioned. The oxtail dumplings are a must try! The waiters are very polite and helpful. The atmosphere is nice. Waiting time for food is quite slow. Food taste is simple. Dumpling is quite disappointing. First, our Waiter, Fabio, was superb ( and that level of attention simply does not exist here in Rio)! Second, the drinks and deserts were really creative and flawlessly executed. Delicious!!! Third, we tried 8 dishes and of those 1 was great (black salmon)….the others were just ok. Finally, the view is spectacular; great place to find a relaxing atmosphere with over the top views of Rio.
