Irresistible Brazil!

We went,
We stayed
We enjoyed!

I'm not in the habit of ignoring good 'tips' from Leigh Cort, so when she told me to mark our calendars for May 15 at Tento's, I obliged and decided to drop by last night. (We went!)

Just 'dropping by' Tento's Churrascaria in Jax Beach last night was impossible. Once we walked through the doors, we were met with the charm and hospitality of one of Tento's owners, (gorgeous) Dan. He treated us as if we had entered his home. Dan ushered us in and hovered until we were comfortably seated at the bar and in the hands of the highly competent Tento's staff. (We stayed!)

Leigh, unfortunately,was out of town; but we were soon joined by her husband, Jay Greene, and two other couples Marsha and Craig Myers, Valerie and Daniel Callahan. We were all in for an evening of Brazilian pleasure.

It wasn't long before the voice of Monica da Silva filled the air at Tento's. We were hooked immediately.

Monica, who spent her life criss-crossing the world and different music genres, shared with us her diverse mix of Jazz and Brazilian originals to more upbeat rock and pop style tunes, thus spreading her irrestible music this special night.

While we enjoyed the Brazilian flavors of the variety of meats served by the gauchos and a full salad bar, we were able to chat quietly and enjoy the night. Frequently, we caught ourselves going with the flow of the music moving in the rhythm of Monica's sensual and smoothe music and distinct voice. (We enjoyed!)

If you missed this, Monica will be back at Tento's on July 10!

Thanks Leigh! It was quite a night!
