We were robbed!
Wednesday, August 02, 2006
This was absolutely the worst food I've had in the 5 years I've been in Seattle. There was little to no flavor. The ingredients were not fresh. We ordered Fried yucca with parmesan - the dish came out room temp. I ordered feijoada, which is the brazilian national dish. Feijoada was on just about every menu I saw in Brazil and I was excited to see it here. It came out very traditionally prepared (visually, at least). There was a mound of rice sitting next to some flash fried collard greens and some orange slices on the side followed by a clay bowl containing some sort of bean-y looking mixture. The bean-y looking mixture was supposed to have very flavorful ingredients (clove, vinegar, chorizo, smoked ham, etc) - it tasted like canned black beans with kielbasa that had somehow had the flavor extracted. And on top of that, it had some mysterious bones in it - no real additional meat, just bones. And then the bill came... we had 1 app, 2 alcoholic drinks, 1 juice, and 2 main dishes - our bill was 60 bucks. We felt like we'd been robbed. It was awful. We will never go back there.
