It was an indication of the travel guide who had painted the restaurant as the "best Bahian food restaurant in town". Finger wrong.
Initially I must address the good point, the house, very beautiful environment, spectacular to be honest, unprecedented decoration, but was not enough to hide the errors.
The service was poor to be mild, unprepared waiters who besides forgetting one of the orders could not explain the content of the dishes, something unacceptable for a restaurant that offers dishes for 300 reais. Finally, we had to deal with the bad mood of the lady who served us, though she had a scowl and unreceptive face, as well as dryness. There are rare times when I asked to withdraw the service fee, as I value the service of the employees of the places I go to, but this time there was no way, because I was very poorly attended, did not feel the "Bahian receptivity" in the house, being very best served in stalls on the street.
Which brings us to the food, we ordered shrimp based dishes, a shrimp noodle and a risotto of the same type. The risotto was at least forgettable, with a sweet touch, probably coming from the coconut that made him sick. But the pasta was literally unpalatable to the palate, first not being told that it was red sauce, and otherwise, its sauce was extremely sweet, it seemed grotesque kitchen mistake that probably
He had put too much sugar on the plate and sent it to the table. I literally left the plate there and had to leave with a little hunger and nausea.
Finally, the price. We feel that the restaurant is sold as upscale, so I was prepared to pay a price commensurate with that and for equally good food, which did not happen. For the food and service there, never, I repeat, would never be worth the price, literally outrage.
I conclude, a beautiful restaurant, with poor service, poorly prepared food and at an expensive price for the experience I had. I set expectations for the story, which were overwhelmed by what was presented. I've eaten and been better served in smaller, less sophisticated places.
