We moved to Cleveland last March. We chose this restaurant for our anniversary last May. We loved it. Yesterday, we returned to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was great and plentiful, so we have another dinner for tonight! Our server was clearly fairly new. She was super nice and we enjoyed her service. We love this restaurant so much. We recommend it highly!

Excellent food and great service. Sasa's specialty sushi rolls are amazing. Ask about the I Love Roll which is a special that's not on the regular menu - it changes so always ask!

This original restaurant location always impresses me and any guests! It’s intimate and, even during restaurant week, their attention to service was intact. I’d recommend this spot for any celebration or to explore Brazilian cuisine.
