    Omg this could be the worst dining experience I’ve had on any continent. We ordered three appetizers and tried to be polite by eating them but they were so bad and the ingredients especially the sea food tasted old. We then got two main courses and they were absolutely garbage. I had street food from vendors all day including a steak sandwich. The street vendors meat was more tender and bigger than this places supposed 35 day aged steak. On top of that we ordered drinks that never arrived. They left us without water. Trash trash trash. I wasn’t even going to leave a review until I saw that they notified Fork, the app that I used to book this “experience”, THAT I NEVER SHOWED UP. PLACES SUCKS STAY AWAY.

    The service was excellent which made the experience very special. I had The fish of the day(sea bass) which had a good presentation and tasted wonderful. Well done!

    The name of this restaurant has, since we visited it, changed to Renata, but I hope the same team is still providing the same level of service and food as when it was still called Dona Maria, because...
