"Melhor almoço executivo de Botafogo. Comida de qualidade por um preço justo. Pratos são super bem servidos vindo bastante proteína, ou seja, se tem pessoas que comem pouco pode pedir uma porção de acompanhamentos extra e dividir a proteína! A cada dia da semana tem os pratos do dia. Todos são deliciosos, mas a massa ao molho de parmesão das quintas-feiras é divina!"

"Sem dúvida um dos melhores restaurantes que já comi, é como um bistrô brasileiro, o chef prepara ele mesmo a comida todos os dia. Comida extremamente bem feita e saborosa, mantendo sempre o mesmo padrão e excelência. Ótimo atendimento! É um lugar que quem descobre vira cliente."

"Lugar que faz o básico bem feito num preço justo. Só tem uma nota 1, quando vc lê o comentário da moça, você percebe que ela tá perdida e o restaurante não merecia a única nota 1 que tem. Ela deu nota 1 pra comida, sendo que no comentário ela fala que o problema foi não conseguir buscar a comida. Como foi nota baixa em comida se vc não comeu ? Claramente emocionada"
