Hands down the best Brazilian restaurant we have tried in the United States! This is traditional Brazilian food like you find in Brazil--not the commercial steakhouses that you find everywhere. This restaurant is named after Yemanja who is the goddess of the sea--a very influential figure in Brazilian culture. If you talk to Lemya, the owner, please tell her that Michael and André sent you! Bom apetite!
