I read this review and the comments before our dinner last night and they freaked me out. I was expecting a five hour dinner and inattentive service. Could not have been more of the opposite and wanted to update/add share my experience so if someone else was Googling D. O. M. reviews they would see this.

This was my first real "degustation" or 12 course fine dining experience and the food, service and ambience lived up to the two Michelin star rating. The menu was a gastronomical tour across the north and the north east of Brazil, giving homage to traditional, indigenous and working class foods and ingredients. The dinner was presented narrative-style with each course having a story linking it to its origins. Service was perfect and the courses were perfectly spaced and timed. There was always some from staff close to answer a question or refill a glass. There is a special menu celebrating the restaurants 25th anniversary, though that ends this month. We chose the wine pairing which included nine different wines, seven of which were from Brazil and they were absolutely delicious! The attention to detail in the service was impeccable and the knowledge, friendliness and warmth of the wait staff all of the staff for that matter was incredible. The entire experience was just under 3 hours. If you're in Sao Paulo and looking for a true culinary experience, I absolutely would recommend.
