   The experience was much better then expected. The service was excellent, the waiters were serving the finger food constantly, not much variety but plenty. You have your one table and the ambiance was pleasant. There also had a table were you could serve yourself with cold cuts , cheese, berries, "pastel" (Brazilian type of empanadas) and a few others others finger food. The caipirinhas drink were not shy, well portioned and strong as required. There had a background samba music, quite low though. We would go back for another event like this one.

   The ambiance was very chill. However, the service was not great. We were seated and asked for drinks, then afterwords we didn’t see our waiter. I had to flag down the hostess two times. Both times she was engrossed in her phone. When I asked for my check she seemed annoyed. The waiters who brought the food, were great!

   The food was very good and the spread of side items was excellent. However, getting service for the table when the card was green was very slow and nobody took time to refill any drinks. You definitely need patience if you eat here. We had to call over a waiter to get a check.

   Enjoyed the food as always. I was disappointed the Emeryville restaurant did not serve lobster bisque. The key lime pie was delicious as always.

    Great bar Bites Experience, the food and drinks are of high quality. They seemed short staffed at the bar, and it took a while to get clean plates and bus the dishes that were piling up on our small space. Otherwise, a great quick date night experience.
