    The service was great but the food was just okay. There were gnats in the restaurant - flying around our table and the market table. The crabcake was very bready. My first time and I will not be returning. Way too expensive for a mediocre meal.

    I've dined at Fogo many times, both in the U.S. and in Brazil. For most of that time, the "Churrasco Experience" at the U.S. restaurants was a reasonably affordable indulgence. Recently, however, the price of the experience is approaching the point where it's difficult to eat enough meat to justify the expense. As a result, I'm increasingly opting for the Market Table, which includes unlimited access to the excellent salad bar, soups, and traditional Brazilian feijoada (rice, black beans and pork.) This option is most affordable at lunch. I should mention, however, that I actually ate at Fogo Bethesda twice last week. The first was on Father's Day. The place was packed and people were waiting outside for tables. This differed sharply from the half-full situation on Thursday evening. My impression (totally unsupported by empirical evidence) was that fans of Brazilian BBQ are willing to pay the increased prices mainly for special occasions. On the plus side, the service at the Bethesda location remains attentive, and the caipirinhas have actually improved.

    Stanley, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. We appreciate your insights and are glad to hear you found our service attentive and enjoyed the caipirinhas. If you'd like to discuss further, please contact us via our website. Thank you.

    The host stand was a mess. It took nearly 30min to get a table after our reservation time. Very crowded with limited waiting area and no bar space. Once seated everyone was very nice. Salad bar was also very crowded .

    We appreciate your patience during your recent visit, Kate. Our team is glad to hear that our service was pleasant once you were seated. We aim to enhance our guest experience, including the wait times and space at the host stand and Market Table. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    We were not seated for 30 Minutes after our reservation time. Three waiters were assigned to our table and we’d ask for a drink and they would never come or they’d forget. It was hard to get to the buffet because it was so full of people. We were seated in a busy walkway and people were constantly bumping into us. The prime rib and filet barely came around - mostly sirloin and flank steak come By. I even asked for bread and they didn’t bring us more bread. It was overwhelming and I will not be returning especially not in a holiday.

    Jennifer, we're sorry we missed the mark for you during your visit.

    We went to the Bethesda location for Father’s Day and had an amazing time. The food was fresh and the meats were well seasoned. The service was excellent and pricing is great. We will be back.

    Very good. However, we were made to wait for half an hour even though we reserved a table. The entrance space was full of people like my family.

    Beto was an excellent waitress, I enjoyed her. I normally enjoy the food at Fogo but the last few times the meat has been over salted and ruined our appetite.

    Fantastic dinner. Was super impressed with the market salad bar and really was way too much food although my husband and my son and his friend probably got their moneys worth. It was super loud in there. That was a downside and I ordered fish with my salad bar and it never came so I was done by the time they were going to bring it and I just took it home. Probably wasn’t quite as good reheated then it would’ve been at the table but again just too much food and I will just get the salad bar next time. Really cool idea though and food was delicious. My other party members loved it.
