Great place! They'll be back up in one or 2 weeks...

by KTC11423

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!
