Arrived there after the theater around 4:30 p.m.. Restaurant was not full and as a result we were able to enjoy a leisurely meal. Noise level was relatively low and for once it was possible for us to have a conversation. Food and service were great. Pricing was very reasonable comparing to other restaurants in the area.

This is a very rare vegan recommendation for a Brazilian restaurant, but the Brazil-loving carnivorous friend I met for dinner at Rice x Beans was equally pleased. It was such a treat to enjoy a delicious, well balanced, and attractive meal without feeling like it was slapped together as a second tier consideration. The rice and beans are, in fact, delicious as were all the vegetables that came with them. Service was attentive and fast. A delightful evening altogether!
