Amazing food !! Great service ! Thought there’d be more of a singing / dancing vibe given some of the comments but we ate really well here !! The atmosphere of this restaurant is really nice, however, the food is very bad. I love Brazilian food so much, but this place was just not it. It’s also by far the most expensive meal since I’ve been in Brazil… we were shocked and disappointed since it was not justifiable for the quality of the food. Good traditional food from the Bahia region, delicious drinks and friendly service. I recommend going for dinner while in the old town.

Good, quality food. Clean and pretty restaurant. Service was meh. They went through the motions but it felt like they were annoyed to be there. Takes a bit of time to get someone to your table even when they're just standing around, I think they're pretty set on servers only serving their own tables not even a "let me get your server for you". Guess they don't need to try since there is an automatic gratuity.

Had the mixed seafood Moqueca and wow was it amazing! Great comfort food and easily enough to share with 3 people. Make sure you leave enough room for dessert though - the coconut slice with icecream does not disapoint. Tip, if you go during the end of June this place has a perfect outside seating area to enjoy the June festival.
