    Food and service outstanding. Calamari appetizer fabulous and more than enough for two people. We shared the sushi grade seared tuna entree and grilled asparagus. Some nice wine complemented our meal, wonderful evening.

    I always have a wonderful dining experience at Batuqui. The cozy atmosphere makes it feel wonderful and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious— flavorful and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in both the food and service truly stands out. If you're looking for a charming spot with great Brasilian food, I highly recommend Batuqui. Obrigado!

    We had the seven vegetable salad and the scallops to start. Scallops, along with all the accoutrements that came with it, were phenomenal. Even the complimentary bread was fantastic, served with hummus. For entrees, we had the duck and the lamb, both were amazing. The skin of the duckbreast was crispy and melted in your mouth, the lamb shank fell off the bone. They were out of the dessert we wanted but the server came up with a solution that accommodated us nicely.
