Taste of Rio in Huntington
Blame it on the bossa nova. Or the economy. Whatever the reason, the former Marcia's Kitchen in Huntington has reopened as Rio Bar & Cafe. Although the ownership remains the same, the attractively redecorated spot offers a Brazilian a la carte menu rather than the buffet/rodizio style service of the past.
Lunch is a bargain. For $7.95, you get a dinner-sized portion of grilled chicken, tilapia or skirt steak, which arrives on a sizzling platter with vegetables. Choose either a salad, to precede the entree, or rice and beans as a side dish; either is included.
At a recent lunch, I sampled the steak, which had been bathed in a garlicky marinade I’d like the recipe for. True, it was a lot more well-done than ordered but so flavorsome, it hardly mattered.
A sign in the window states that Saturday nights, after 8 p.m., there’s live Brazilian music.
Rio Bar & Café is at 10 New St., Huntington, 631-351-1010
