The place is very cute! The decor gives Tulum vibes. Igor our waiter was welcoming and nice. Never once felt rushed. The shrimp and rice plate was very good. The music could be just a little bit on the loud side but that was expected seeing as they have a dj. The fire breather woman was great! Overall it was a great experience. Definitely coming back.

I recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Casa Ipanema, and it was such a fantastic evening! From the moment we arrived, the place blew us away with its beautiful Brazilian-themed decor. José, the General Manager, was incredible—he made sure we felt right at home and taken care of all night long. The food was absolutely to die for, with every dish being a little explosion of flavors that had us all raving. It really felt like experiencing the vibrant taste of Brazil right here in LA. With the wonderful atmosphere, mouth-watering food, and José's top-notch hospitality, it was an unforgettable celebration!

The food, atmosphere and the service was excellent. Everything we had was delicious. The drinks and cocktails and mocktails were awesome. I would definitely go back and recommend. My only suggestion is that the dj switches up the music.
