Great place! They'll be back up in one or 2 weeks.... This is one of my favorite places to go, as they sometimes play Brazillian Music, and they have excellent Sangria. At first, I thought the place had closed down, but when I called in, the guy said they were doing some renovations and improvements to the place, and will be back up around the next week or so after the week of 4-13-08.

Very happy to see this place will be back, maybe even better than ever!

Loved the food and cozy atmosphere. this is a hidden jewel in the ES. Make reservations as it gets packed quickly.

Great food and moderate prices.

great athmosphere, great sangrias, excellent food. Went there last week. It was a Saturday and it was packed. I must say that it was a lot of fun and the food was very good. Great athmosphere.

Plus they have an incredible choice of Sangrias and caipirinhas.

I higly recommend it, especially if you are looking to make new friends.
