Boteco Ipanema - Brazilian restaurant in Norwalk - 70 N Main St, USA

This place was great! The best feijoada I have had outside of Brazil. Service was extremely nice and attentive. See Carlos! I'll definitely be going back.

Amazing birthday dinner celebration! We had picana and so many other meals that were super delicious. Deserts are also light and tasty. We are definitely coming back here again and I highly recommend to give them a try!

Uniquely Brazilian cuisine. Had appetizer sampler, picanha entrée, and flan. Sampler was great with a wide variety. Tapioca dice with sweet sauce was unexpectedly satisfying and toothsome. Sizzling presentation of the picanha was a dramatic surprise entrance.

Food was good and they have live music, but overall the worst restaurant experience I've had in years. Started with a messed up reservation. Food took over an hour to arrive. Tables seated after we ordered got their food long before us, complained and was told food went to wrong table. When we got the food the orders were mixed up which took a couple bites to realize that I had the rare steak and the other person got my medium steak, that was better after we switched streaks. We were offered a free round of drinks which ended up being one free drink on the bill despite waiter insisting we order "a complimentary round of drinks". I only put an hour and a half on the parking meter because that's all the time I had and it wasn't enough, I ended up going out to add money and was late for my appointment after. Had to rush through eating because it took so long. Bill took a long time to pay while I'm in a hurry to leave, apparently had to restart machine and put in again. As I was leaving a food runner spilled coffee on me. The other person stayed to try to finish their meal but apparently they started cleaning the table right after I left.

Food was very good and great service except they included a 25% tip on the receipt without warning, when it was only a table for 2.

Our waiter was so nice and asked for our names and shook our hands before leaving which I thought was very nice. The staff were great, food was great, portions were great, and plenty of parking in the back.

Excellent staff. Generous portions of delicious food made to order. Good selection of drinks. A return trip is in order.

I gave one star, because this is the minimum possible. The food took a very long time to come, and the taste was.....actually it had no taste. Rice was not fresh, the beans had taste of beans from a can. The skirt steak that I orders had no taste was over cooked and arrived cold. My wife fish appeard to be cooked on a hot plate and not grilled as show in the menu. When I complained the manager did not even bothered to come and ask what was the issues. He just sent free desert without consulting with us we have any preffered desert. The background music was also lame, as the performer sound like he is of note. Don't waste your time and money. First time and last time at this establishment.
