    Always have a great experience here, However, last night (aMonday) we went for our 47th anniversary celebration. We each ordered an alcoholic drink. Mine was a no spicy Bloody Mary. Yuck, cracked pepper filled half the glass. Sent it back unable to drink. Salad bar was great. I am unable to eat a lot of meat due to stomach problems and had 3 slices of beef. NO dessert. Coffee was cold. Sent it back. Came tepid. They brought my husband cheesecake he ordered and wrote happy anniversary. He said it was good. Several wait staff saw us trying to take a pix and walked by-thought they should have offered, especially since a special occasion. Anyway the bill was $188!!!!! That’s WAY TO MUCH for the amount of food I can eat. Prices must have gone up! Will think twice before I return

    I come here regularly for dinner, but Sunday night must have just been an off time for them because normally I love coming here. We were seated in a room kind of tucked away in a corner and it felt like the meats never made it to our side of the room and we constantly had to keep asking servers to send meat over. Often times a table would be served in our proximity but then would skip right over us. Something was off because it’s not normally like this, disappointing evening to say the least.

    There was no dress code. this used to be a fine dinning restaurant where you could take your date and have a nice time sorrounded by people who were well dressed and created a nice atmosphere. saw people walking around in flip flops and gym shoes on a saturday night, felt like i was in a 1-2 star restaurant while still paying for a 5 star restaurant.

    It was my daughter's birthday and they came with creme brulee and a candle & sang. It was very sweet. The food was excellent and the service was amazing. A water glass was spilled, but they cleaned it up in a hurry and were very apologetic. Definitely didn't spoil our fun and we will be back!

    Staff was friendly and attentive throughout our whole time there. We didn’t feel rushed or ignored at any point in time. The meat quality was great. Staff ensured that all cuts of meat were offered at multiple points throughout our night there. I would definitely eat there again and would recommend it to everyone I know!

    My family and I had a very disappointing experience last night. Not only did the meats taste very blend, but we barely had anyone come to our table to serve us. I had to ask numerous times if we were going to be served. This by far was the biggest waste of $200 i’ve spent at a restaurant…. We were there for my 10 year olds bday, they try to charge her an adult price when I clearly told them she’s 10. Definitely recommend Fogo over this poor service.

    Was a bit noisier than we were expecting. Did enjoy the food and the service was extremely attentive and polite! We went to use our gift card but found out they would only allow processing 80% of the gift card unless it was there own. Did like that rule at all but they said that was their system and had no control over it.

    Service was incredible!! My wife and I have visited fogo de chao, and Texas de Brazil… however the service here is hands down the best. We will always return just on the service alone, but the food is always such higher quality than both other places.

    Really good cuts of meats and very flavorful. Bacon wrapped chicken was excellent. Salad Bar could use some updating. Black beans were cold. Mashed potatoes was watery and cold. Head waiter was superb!!!!!! He was very attentive. We were unaware that we had to request the beef ribs, so I think that should have been explained, it made us feel uneasy when it was going around and it didn't come to our table. The Chama Samba was so good!!! Chocolate cake is GREAT. Restaurant is beautiful.

    I’m not trying to be a snob, but some of the customers were dressed more suitable for eating at McDonalds instead of a fine dining restaurant. Not that customers need to have sport coats and dresses but at least they should dress business casual.

    I didn’t think the salad bar had an extensive variety of food on it as other Brazilian steakhouse as I’ve been to. The waiter kept disappearing so it was difficult to get another drink or a clean plate. Everything taken a consideration it was OK
