I arrived at Beleza 5 minutes before it open and was told to wait outside by the Bartender. Although their doors were open, and there were others (non employees) standing inside talking, laughing and having a jolly old time. No problem, I understand an establishments hours. As I'm waiting outside one of the Beleza employees came outside and got me in a very apologetic manner and asked me to have a seat anywhere I'd like in the location. Once I was seated (4 minutes later during serving hours). I had to walk up and asked for my order to be taken. And then I had to walk up for a 2nd time and asked to place my dessert order. I had to get the waitress's attention to pay. I had the Shrimp Moqueca, and a dessert. The Shrimp Moqueca was good, but the dessert was not so hot. I give the guy who came out and got me off the sidewalk 5 stars for doing his part for customer service. But that one guy's efforts didn't over ride my total experience with Beleza. It's no way I will go back there. There are other restaurants with in walking distance (of Beleza) with better food, lower prices and customer oriented employees.

After an evening of groundbreaking performances by the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, my guests and I decided to dine out at a nearby restaurant, of course, most of the restaurant closed at 11pm, next choice a lounge/bar, we decided on ?BELEZA? (means Beauty) on Juniper in Midtown. BELEZA Restaurant & Lounge is a trendy hotspot in Midtown known for it?s Brazilian flair small plates, creative cocktails, incorporating local and organic ingredients. As we entered the door, we were greeted by a friendly host, who escorted us quickly to our table. Bossa Nova, global beats filled the air, as we swayed back n forth in our plush, comfortable chairs. It?s a really cute, well designed..a bit small, however, cozy place to hang out with friends, grab a drink, a quick bite before or after the theatre. My guests and I, were starved, we decided on the same dish, Moqueca(Bahian Seafood stew, organic coconut milk, organic extra virgin olive oil, Mologueta peppers, cilantro, cashews) it was very good. To quench our thirst, we decided on a brazilian natural soda(Elderflower with lemon). I must admit, I visited Beleza on Friday also, where I devoured their Acai Sorbet topped with granola, fresh blueberries, and bananas. If you dig creative cocktails, small plates, funky entertainment on the weekend, Beleza is the place to be! Its sister restaurant is ?Cuerno? which is next door, it features Flamenco dancing on Sunday and authentic Spanish tapas. Whatever you decide, you?ll enjoy every moment, minute, hour.

Had a great time here. Beleza has a fantastic cocktail list unlike anything else you will find in the city with fresh, exotic ingredients. Very hip atmosphere, excellent tapas and deserts rounded out a fantastic evening. Great place to go if you are ready to break out of the mold of your dining routine.

Wow! I went to beleza the first time three nights ago, it was exceptional. This is the first place in atlanta to really do the cocktail lounge thing and they have done it well. The drinks are hands-down best in the city, (so agrees creative loafing), and the bartenders are true masters of their craft. Everyone their was a total cocktail nerd, in a great way, but still friendly and not condescending. The guy with the suspenders, who is the mixologist, really took his time to explain some of the more esoteric things on the menu and he suggested to me the "Envy" which is an absinthe drink with honey, eggwhite, lemon juice and served with basil and rosewater!! Wow, amazing. Dont go into this place and order a comso, thats kinda like asking for hamburger at Baccanalia, drink something off the list or trust the mixologist to whip up something for you based on what you like. Ill be back soon!

Visited Beleza for dinner the week before Christmas--we were looking forward to trying this style of Brazilian food. Apparently the chef was on Christmas vacation and we were told that the food would be coming from Cuerno, a sister restaurant, next door. We've eaten at Cuerno a couple of times and like it, but we don't typically go to a restaurant to eat the food from next door. We were disappointed that Beleza didn't inform us about the situation when we made our reservation a few days beforehand (and are surprised that only one person is able to prepare the food at this place). The service was decent, but the ambiance was very lounge-like with loud club music playing. The food may be great, but based on our experience and the overall atmosphere, we won't be back to try it.
