What is particularly impressive about this joint is the level of control management has over the overflow which spills... out not only into the parking lot but street as well ( North Ave., Oak St., ) The higher end clientel has demonstrated so much respect for the surrounding community. Really just cruise by on a Saturday night on your way home from a low-key night out at the the movies and you will see first hand how conservative , peaceful , respectful and mindful the clientel are toward the surrounding community an it's inhabitants. It almost makes me forget that Fourth of July in 2020 when my daughter and I were driving past a log jam of respectful patrons , got caught up in a bottle neck traffic jam, and were stuck temporarily behind a crowd of about 50 outstanding citizens and one of the ( drunkards ) patrons placed a cherry bomb next to our back tire with little to no regard to himself, friends, or my then 9 year old daughter's safety. It also helps me forget the two trips i've taken to Southern Brazil. Just an awesome place indeedread more

The place is loud and annoying. Don't show no respect and they are very disrespectful.

Very nice at the entrance. My only problem was the waiter, after we ordered he treated us very bad. He ignored us... several times, and I had a piece of paper in my salad, I informed him about it and he just walked away without saying a single word.read more

We went there as a family of four around 4pm on a Saturday. The place was not crowded. We sat outside and felt... comfortable. First of all, they use fresh ingredients which is a major plus. All of the dishes we tried were freshly made and were delicious. The fresh made lemonade was terrific on a hot day. It is a nice family restaurant and we really enjoyed it.read more

This is absolutely one of my new favorite places. Since the day it opened, I have came back atleast 4 times. That’s... just how amazing the food/place/price and service is. They have highly professional workers who constantly check if you need anything and are super friendly. They also have the most delicious meals!! ( I’d recommend the chicken in a lemon cream sauce or the steak frites!!!! ) GREAT place to sit and relax. GREAT place for going out to lunch/dinner. Amazing place to take your family!! 5/5. Bridgeport really needed a restaurant like thisread more
