Lugar muito aconchegante!! Comida de fogão a lenha maravilhosa!! Sobremesa dos Deuses!! Atendimento ótimo!! O rapazinho que nos atendeu muito educado e prestativo!! Preço atrativo!! So "não gostei" muito da atitude do dono, que ao ver o rapazinho nos atendendo sem o jaleco, foi lá e colocou o jaleco no menino como se ele fosse uma criança!! Eu acho que ele deveria esperar ele terminar de nos atender, chama-lo para o canto e orienta-lo sobre o uso do jaleco!!

A comida é gostosa, bem servida. Só achei pouco de moscas no local, mas acredito que isso é bem fácil de resolver. Ambiente agradável, arejado e limpo.

Pela segunda vez no local em dezembro de 2025. Ótima comida, feita com "mão de mãe". O grande diferenciado é a cozinha aberta, junto ao buffet, onde você vê, acompanha, sente o cheiro e enxerga o processo da comida que você irá se servir. Isso é meio mágico, dá impressão que você está almoçando na sua casa. Comida bem saborosa, variada, boas opções de sobremesa, preço barato (39,90 o livre). Ambiente muito bem planejado, arejado, bonito, com muita arte em madeira. Serviço de boa qualidade. Apenas o banheiro masculino que achei um pouco excêntrico, pois você precisa fechar um box de acrílico pra ficar privativo. Em finais de semana tem churrasco que é bem famoso também. O suco de uva é maravilhoso. Experimentem.
