    Awesome GRADUATION celebration for my Granddaughter. ALEX was absolutely wonderful and we ate & drank to our hearts content! All 7 of us enjoyed the Full Churrasco, Heineken, Brazilian lemonades, 7 oaks Cabernet, etc... They gave my granddaughter a complimentary lava dessert and some of us had a Colossal Cheesecake Brulee Dessert & Espresso's to absolutely DIE for!!!😋❤️❤️❤️

    La comida esta bien. Sin embargo, el nivel de servicio es muy pobre. Teníamos que estar buscando a alguien que nos trajera la comida y bebidas. Hacíamos un pedido y no nos respondían. Solamente un joven nos atendió bien (luego de intentar buscar a la persona que atendía nuestra mesa). Ademas, el nivel de ruido es demasiado alto. Muchos grupos grandes que hacían mucho ruido (y no es la primera vez que nos ocurre). También, el espacio entre las mesas hace difícil poder ir a servirse sin correr el riesgo de chocarse con alguien. Lamentablemente, aunque la calidad de la comida es relativamente buena, no creo que regresemos.

    It was my first time at this restaurant and my last. It's too noisy, rushed, and the amount of food is too much, the quality of the meat does NOT offset the price. I would rather spend the same amount of money for less food, however better quality cuts. If you like noisy places and being constantly interrupted, a feeling of being rushed, then you may like this place.

    I was very disappointed with the service for fogo do chão. My friends and I would be constantly bother by the 3-4 different servers if we wanted to have more beverages. When most of the table was done with the meal, only one person wanted to have a few more cuts, they simply ignored us, when they came and asked if we needed something, I ask them 4-5 times please bring a certain cut of meat. One person was still eating and they would bother us by giving the check. I would person not go back to this fogo do chão. I was very annoyed by the end of my meal and would not bring any friend to this branch. This was one of the worst experience I had with fogo do chão, does not offer any grilled Pineapple need to order separately, not to mention it doesn’t have any chicken hearts
