    My fiancée and I have been here numerous times and have never had a bad dish. We love the burrata salad and flan bread pudding in particular, everything is always fresh and the flan is on par with any authentic one from a Brazilian bakery. Of course, the ambience and water views can’t be beat. We went most recently with our two boys to celebrate the end of a great family trip, and no surprise they loved it as much as us. The sushi tacos actually got stamps of approval from a 6 and 13 year old - no kids menu needed! We tried the eggplant and grouper for the first time and were equally pleased. The highlight of the stay though was our waiter Steven, who was extremely warm and attentive and provided excellent service throughout. He was even thoughtful enough to recommend that the boys split 1 dessert since the chocolate cake was so large - he wasn’t kidding! As the cherry on top, he offered to take some photos of our family which we will cherish and turned out great. Shooters is becoming our happy place! Can’t recommend their food and Steven’s service highly enough.
