   Restaurant is very loud, food was good but our experience for my boyfriend‘s birthday and first time there was not pleasant. If we go back, it will not be to this location.

   We had reservation at 7:30PM, checked-in at 7:31PM. But there was no table ready for us and we waited 50mins to be seated. We went to check with the host 3 times, they only checked in with us once. I understand delays happen, but almost an hour past reservation time to get seated is unreasonable and lack of operation efficiency. They offered to comp us desserts for our wait, but it wasn't taken off the bill until I had to remind them. Other than that, food was average, server came in to check in throughout the meal and was attentive.

   I would give 0 stars if I could. This was my first time at a Brazilian steakhouse, and I was genuinely excited—but Fogo de Chão in Bellevue completely ruined the experience. When I asked about the $54 Brazilian cuts option, our server’s entire attitude changed. She acted as if we didn’t belong there and immediately discouraged me from ordering it, saying it “wasn’t good” and that I “wouldn’t get any of the good meat.” It was incredibly off-putting and came across as judgmental. Then, we were brought and charged for a shrimp cocktail that we never ordered. No one at our table asked for it, yet it appeared without explanation and ended up on our bill. Later in the evening, after ordering and enjoying a bottle of wine, we were browsing the wine list to decide on a second bottle. While we were still deciding, our server brought over a random bottle we hadn’t asked for. When I asked how much it was, her response was, “Well, it’s not expensive—I wouldn’t do that. I know your budget.” That was not only not what I asked, but it was also incredibly rude, unprofessional, and condescending. The service made the entire evening feel uncomfortable and awkward. For what’s supposed to be a high-end dining experience, this was an absolute failure. I won’t be back, and I’ll be telling others not to waste their money either.

   my family went there to celebrate Easter. Half our party ordered the full experience but what we found is that they are quick to come in strong with bread and the cheaper meats like sausage and bacon wrapped chicken, etc. seems their goal is to get you full on this kind of thing, and then when you've had three or four servings of that they start offering the sirloin and then after you've had a couple of servings of that, then they actually offer you some ribeye

   Meat is so bad. The lamb tasted rancid, top sirloin was so dry. We went for my daughter’s birthday and she ended up spitting almost all the meats out because of the taste and it was such a disappointment. I would not recommend

   Service is very bad, waiter was literally thrown the food serving card to the table and plate as well. Bone marrow was served with a portion that does not make sense, 98% bone and 2% marrow (tiny spoon size) - do not order! Talked to 3 person about it and they did nothing. Customer still have to pay in full. I will replace with new or remove it from the bill if I am the manager. I will never comeback to the Bellevue branch

   The meats we were served were mostly tough and lacked flavor, making our dining experience less enjoyable. After having a fantastic meal at the Las Vegas location, we had high hopes for the Belleview spot, but unfortunately, it fell short of our expectations. The difference in quality was disappointing, as we anticipated a similar level of excellence.

    My fiance and I had this reservation for over a month. Once there, we waited longer than 20 minutes (standing) before we were seated. Thankfully we were seated at the table furthest in back because it was awfully loud the entire time. This was overcrowded, and this restaurant should not be accepting reservations if it's this much of a zoo at a baseline. The food was moderate: generally good meat, though slim pickings at the buffet. The meal was very expensive, so I'm grateful that the wine was top-notch, as the rest surely fell short of my expectations. Despite the set-backs, the staff that did assist with serving the steak were all very pleasant, and you can't put a pricetag on that.
