   This was my 8th trip to Fogo this year and will probably be my last, This used to be a restaurant with high standards but it keeps dropping every time I come back. It starts with no dress code enforced - - people are dressed like slobs and are allowed in and then we're seated at a tiny table in the middle of the room with people walking all around us, not very relaxing. Service was slow and inattentive. We waited almost 10 minutes before our server came to take our drink order and then another 10 to bring our splits of wine, and the sparking wine (Chandon) was warm - it should have been chilled/cold. I was ready to order a nice bottle of Malbec but no one brought me a wine list and after getting the warm wine, I lost my interest. I mentioned this to the server but she just shrugged and walked away. We asked for lamb chops and it took half an hour to arrive. I asked for medium-rare and most of my cuts were medium-well. I did not feel like I got my moneys worth. The saving grace of the evening was the Market Table - great selections and very tasty. I'll give this place a rest before I try it again. Many other places I can spend $300-$500 for a nice dinner that I'll really enjoy!!!

   Worst dinner ever. This place has definitely changed. New staff, service was very slow. Food was not being rotated proper Virtually every cut of meat was either undercooked or overcooked Side dishes, such as bread and potatoes were hard to get I have been a regular customer here, but I will not be coming back

   The food was really terrible. Everything was either raw or really overcooked. Even the rolls and bananas were off. We come a lot - you can look up our history. This was a really really bad visit and turned us off, won’t be back

   We were there for lunch. Our servers did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. We never had to wait for a drink refill or ask for a thing. The food was delicious and we loved the variety.

   The meat is very tasty and tender. It would be better if it wasn’t gas grilled. However, we still loved it. There was no toilet paper. So I had to grab some tissue.
