Citysearch Editorial Review. Ideally located across the street from the American Airlines Arena, this Brazilian restaurant is a break from the many churrascarias with gaucho-clad waiters wielding skewers of meat. This is more in the mold of a casual tapas bar with a Brazilian menu, serving salted cod, baby shrimp empanadas, herbed chicken wings and grilled picanha sirloin in a festive setting where small wood tables surround the magnetic bar. There is also ample seating outside for those who don't mind the blur of Biscayne traffic and have little interest in the Brazilian soccer game being shown inside.
