Ipanema

+ Delicious food. + Good pricing. Meal for two was about $60 before tip. - Service wasn't too attentive. We had to bend over backwards to get water refills and order more food. In general, it's a great place to eat.

I had the pleasure of being a guest at a promotion party for a colleague. The staff could not be more attentive and we were so well taken care of that this will definitely be our go-to place for business meetings and entertaining clients!! The food was so delicious, freshly and uniquely prepared and authentic (according to our resident foodie colleague)!! The drinks were outstanding, hand-crafted Brazilian specially cocktails, I could not say more about this place!!

Met my friend there for an early-ish dinner, at 5pm on a Friday. We were seated right away, but the place filled up quickly, so I'd imagine there are times you'd have to wait for a table. My friend had steak and potatoes, topped with a fried egg; I had one of that day's specials: a coconut-curry chicken, with white rice and black beans. My friend cleaned her plate and I enjoyed, but couldn't finish, my meal, so I packed my leftovers to go. I've had Indian, Thai, Japanese, Trinidadian and Jamaican curries. This one was good, not great, but those black beans could rival the best Cuban black beans I've had. We struggled to order dessert because everything was soft: a selection of 6-8 puddings, mousses, milk-soaked cake/cookies, and custards/flans. (Neither my friend nor I are particularly fond of soft things.) We settled for the custard/tart that comes in a crispy, croissant-like pastry, and that was delicious. To drink, we each had a Brazilian margarita, and those were very tasty. Service was great, our waiter was helpful, explaining/describing certain dishes, answering questions, and he was patient as we took a long time to decide/order.

Really good drinks and food. The service was impecable. The ambience is very nice and the atmosphere of the place was lovely. We had the churrasco Ipanema and it was delicious, you will think that the mixture of meat, shrimps, crab meat and cheese is a little bit too much, but it actually works beautifully. As appetizer we had the sampler and it was also phenomenal! The location is very convenient too.

Excellent food at great price point for the area. It was a month or two back so I forget the exact dish but the steak was right on the money. Went right before the Patrice O'Neal comedy benefit in February and it helped make a perfect evening of great grub and laughs. I'll add that the wait staff was young but excellent and atmosphere wise Ipanema's was excellent for conversation with the table which was precisely what we needed. I highly recommend and will return next time I'm pulling through my old home town.
