I agree with one of the previous reviews regarding service.
I’ve been to rio a number of times and wouldn’t go to the original Bar Do David in the flavela and always loved it. Especially how caring the owner was.
I had seen a new location had opened and of course due to the pandemics I haven’t been able to visit rio but when I was able to I made sure to stop in the new location.
There were two servers and for the first part I was just simply ignored. I had to get their attention just to get a menu.

It is terrible to see Rio de Janeiro going down the road of...
Read moreFood is really good, we were served fast, but the service needs a lot of work, felt very desorganized, took 1h to get 2 cocktails after asking twice to confirm if they were working on them until one waiter apologised and told us that it was missed in the order, and still had to wait 30min for them (we both spoke Portuguese so there was no miscommunication) . It is a shame, the food is really great. The staff doesn't speak much English, but is trying to accommodate as much as they can, if you make the effort to learn some simple sentences, you won't have...
