Reviews for The Grill From Ipanema in 1858 Columbia Rd NW, WA
Thais is amazing, thank you so much for taking such good care of our table. Food was outstanding, would highly recommend!
Excellent service, great menu options and perfect for large groups. We were a group of 10. We made it more family style. We... ordered multiple tapas and 8 entrees. It was enough to share. We came in hungry and left very satisfied. We also brought our ownwine. It was a $15 corkage fee. Feijoada-deli-delicious and generous portions. Cheese bread-yumm! Brazilian Paella-different,but tasty Steaks- it had a good flavor but wasn't very tender. We pretty much ordered everything on their menu. I'm juststating the standouts from our evening. It was our daughters's bday, initially they passed out the dessert menu only to take itback and bring a huge baked Alaska. Enough for everyone at our table to share! It's the little things that make come back :) Read more
In my wanderings, I randomly chose this place for supper. It is situated on the edge of what seems a pleasant, vibrant... neighborhood and I enjoyed people watching while I ate. It seemed a popular location. Many people arrived and were greeted in avery friendly manner. I started with a Brazilian lager and a spicy mussell soup (sopa de surura). It arrived hot (& spicy) witha nice presentation. It was very tasty! The portion size was just right - not too filling but not too small to make me feel theprice was high. The main was underwhelming. I had the salmon verde. The salmon was a tad dry and didn't really reflect thesauce. The asparagus and white wine sauce, on its own, was tasty. I wish the salmon had taken on the flavor. The potatoes wereokay, a bit underseasoned for me. The sautéed vegetables were... boring. Overall, the food was satisfying, but the servicewas a bit slow. I wasn't in a hurry but felt a little ignored, being a table of one. I'd bring back friends but maybe not havethe salmon again. The spicy mussell soup is recommended! Read more
Dropped by tonight on a whim and could not be more grateful. After tonight’s meal, this restaurant has gracefully and without... much difficulty become one of my top three favorite restaurants in DC. The ambiance is delightfully pleasant, with soft music inthe background and friendly service. We had their 30th anniversary special (two course meal with cocktail and dessert for $45pp). I got the chicken with coconut rice and vegetables for my main course, and the coxinha for my appetizer. Paired bothcourses with a traditional caipirinha and ended my time here with a passionfruit mousse. My partner had the feijoada and thecoconut flan, which made for the perfect contrast to my dish selection. Do yourself and your friends a favor and come here foryour next dinner outing. Read more
Holy hell this place was seriously fantastic! The atmosphere was relaxing and made for a great intimate/romantic dinner. Camila... made sure we had a great anniversary celebration. She recommended multiple dishes on the menu - all of which were extremelydelectable. She also had assistance from another woman working at the restaurant who’s name I unfortunately do not rememberbut also provided incredible service. This was our first time but will not be our last. You can’t go wrong with any item andplease order the passionfruit mousse with the Brazil liquor poured on top! Camila clearly deserves recognition and a raise basedon our experience alone. Read more
When you see a restaurant that has been around for over 20 year, you know it is good. I had never tried Brazilian food before so... everything was surprisingly good to the first-timer. They have a special lunch menu if you go in the right time. And for about$26 per person, you get one appetizer, one entrée, one desert, and one drink. The fish stew and pork stew were reallydelicious. Read more
I ordered cheese balls for appiters; it wasn't the best; however, the rest of my food was delicious. There was a very nice and... friendly lady there (not sure if she's the owner or manager). she made the experience much better. Read more
