Hosted by Tais and served by Joao, we had a blast visiting "Framingham Station" on 1/4/2025!! We were a party of 6, and all enjoyed the event. My wife is vegetarian, so she only had the buffet and enjoyed it a lot. The other 5 enjoyed the meat selection but were highlighted by the "picanha" and the options available in the buffet. The drinks were perfection: the stars, the "original caipirinha", "passion fruit caipirinha", and the "fresh lemonade". The desserts were also excellent, being the "passion fruit mousse" top-notch!

We were the last reservation of the night. The service was attentive, and the food was very tasty. I had the pumpkin Kibby, which made me happy. The shrimp risotto is also very good. Seasoned well The cocktails were made very well and were different. Than a shopping plaza but definitely feels different on the inside. Nice ambience. Did not feel rushed to leave. We’ll go back again.
