I'd rather stab myself in the head than go back to Sushisamba Rio. I was seated by a girl in hot pants. Hot pants! This restaurant is the worst kind of trendy.

Favela night! You've got to be kidding me. I've actually been through Brazil's Favelas, they ought to be ashamed of themselves. I'm imagining that Favela night consists of being beaten and having your shoes stolen by gun wielding 10 year olds upon entrance to the restaurant, you'll then be served rotten plantains and be directed to the bucket in the corner for your drinks (stale water) and a bucket in another corner to pee. You'll then be sent into the street bleeding and shoeless to beg for your dessert. Enjoy.

'Favela Night'?! Really? The restaurant maybe fine and all, but that's just a bit offensive, especially considering the price of eating there. Are they featuring wild salmon roasted on a corrugated metal 'plank,' lobster poached in standing water with a jicama cardboard slaw, and crab cakes with a soy-mango-industrial glue foam on Wednesdays?

Nice photos...for once! I remember the drinks being very expensive.

This sounds like an awesome place. I remember wanting to try it out when it first opened but it was hard to get into.
