Boteco do Brasil

I recommended this place for a colleague's leaving night. Never have i been so embarrassed. The service was terrible. The waiter was not helpful and appeared to struggle with the basic task of taking our order. The starter I received was bland and chewy. Others at the table also complained theirs were equally as unpalatable.
The main course can only be compared to a scene from Fawlty Towers. The wrong meals came, the meals that did come were cold, bland and portions stingy at best. Some people did not get their meal at all and yet another person finally got her meal (2nd attempt) and it had a hair in it. The waiter rolled his eyes when alerted to this fact. The manageress appeared to be aggressive and irritated we were not satisfied. The excuse offered was because the place was busy (!)
Embarrassing - I kept waiting on Manuel to pop out. Don't go......

This place ranks amongst the worst restaurants I've ever been to. Service and food was uniformly dreadful, with a selection of drinks not ordered, drinks not received, food not ordered or received, cold food, bad food, food arriving after most of the party had finished and finally a hair in the food. Moreover, when we booked, we were quoted £12 each for three courses and coffee. When we arrived, we were given a menu at £8.95 for two courses, which was all we ordered. At the end of the meal, the manager said that, although the menu stated £8.95, it was actually £12.95 at the weekends (not displayed on the menu). The discount subsequently applied and complimentary liqueurs offered were unfortunately followed by the most passive agressive apology I've heard from the manager, who said she didn't think we'd had the worst service and that they were very busy. Avoid.
