This past weekend, I had the pleasure of eating at Sarava [sergioscleveland.com], which is a Brazilian restaurant in Shaker Square (Cleveland, OH). I went there with a large group of people, including two Brazilians.
We all had a great time, and the food was very good (not to mention the caparinias!). I ordered the Xim-Xim, which was kind of a stew that had chicken and shrimp in it, among other things (the full menu [sergioscleveland.com] is available on their website). It was very spicy, and would definitely order it again. Our two entrees and a drink each came out to around $60.
The Brazilians who were with us said that the food was fairly authentic, noting that the real ingredients that are used in the original dishes probably couldn't be served in an American restaurant (or would be much too difficult to obtain). But in the grand scheme of things, I don't really care. The food tasted great, and it was very unique.
Who knew that such a gem of a restaurant was right in Shaker Square? I'm looking forward to eating there again sometime soon.
