Porção de tilapia deliciosa.Bem temperada. Amei os molhos que a acompanham. Local limpo, banheiro limpo, bom atendimento. Meus netinhos se divertiram pescando. A porção de batata deles com queijo e bancon é bem servida.

O lugar é bem simples, tem mesas rústicas de madeira e dois pequenos tanques onde se pode pescar com as varas e iscas do local, se solicitado. A comida é muito gostosa, pra mim o ponto mais alto. O som do local é alto (e de vez em quando abaixavam um pouco). Tocava pagode e samba quando fui. Os banheiros são simples, pequenos e limpos, nada de mais, um individual para cada gênero. Recomendo, mas se estiver com paciência para ouvir música alta em um local levemente desconfortável. Compensa pela comida apenas.
