    They took advantage of it being our first time and when we asked for water they said spring or sparking. We said spring because they made it seem like we couldn’t have regular water then charged us 15.00 fire water

    Let’s start with the food. It was not special! They did not bring food frequently as compared to other similar restaurants such as Texas de Brazil. The service was not a high quality one. Finally, it was not worth the price.

    It was the worst restaurant experience I ever had. The actual food was good. However, this one waiter kept trying to get me to take a piece of sausage by saying “would I like to try his meat…..it was unicorn meat, different but still good”. That shut the whole evening down for me and my SO. will be calling manager on Monday.

    We headed to Fogo de Chao on a busy Saturday afternoon for a friend's graduation celebration. We were able to add an additional guest to our reservation that was made about one week ago. The food was great and they were able to serve the champagne we brought with additional fees to open. The grilled cheese and steak were great. The market table salad is awesome. Great for special occasions.

    After a good 20mins of sitting and watching the meat waiters consistently skip our table, yes our token was turned on the green side, needless to say I was extremely disappointed. It was my husband birthday and as a African American couple it felt personal. However, hats off to the young lady waitress who relayed my concerns to the manager and he promptly addressed it. We were getting meat after meat and stellar service from that point on.

    This was a 2nd visit for business dinner, and this one was much different than the first. It was a Wednesday evening, and the place was packed. There were large groups throughout, and as a party of 3, we felt like stepchildren. We had to flag down everyone, and even more confusing and frustrating, we had WAY TOO MANY people assigned to our table, we lost track of who our "point" person was. While food and market table were excellent, the attention to our table by the servers seemed fleeting, while other larger tables around us got the focus. That was disappointing.

    We had a not so enjoyable interaction with someone named Elisha (I only know her name as I heard her say it to every other table she spoke to and intentionally ignored ours). I turned the large glass over that was at our table when we sat down as I don't drink wine or water. She picked up the glass and said to me, "Is this supposed to be a universal sign for something"? I was completely confused at her attitude and said No I don't drink alcohol or water with my dinner I drink soda. I was totally floored by her question. She touched every single table around us and never made an attempt to stop ours. Duley noted as clearly she didn't think much of our value as a customer so we will choose other restaurants from now on. Sadly we have eaten here many many times in the past and never encountered this type of issue.

    The service is spectacular. Even the manager was out working and very welcoming. I wish I would have got his name. Had to be the hardest working manager I had ever seen. The salad and side options were nice. We were extremely disappointed in the star of the show, the meats. Several were very salty and we couldn't eat after the first bite. We had to ask for lamb and they only made it to us once. Out of everything we tried, only the lamb and the bacon wrapped steak were edible. It was an experience but we definitely wouldn't go again. Definitely didn't get what we paid for.

    We have been here so many times and this is this 1st time for a holiday which was Easter Sunday 2023. We will never go here again for a holiday!!! They barely came by with meat and we had to ask for severs to come by with meat! Why, it’s a Brazilian steak house?And when they came to serve us it was chicken and pork! We had to ask for the steak… Lesson learned! NEVER go on a holiday!!! It was horrible By the way, we typically love this place but won’t be back for a very long time…

    I mostly enjoy the salad and buffet bar. It's the best in the city. It's nothing like a typical salad bar, but it is sort of over the top. If you are a meat lover, it's never-ending. Our party loved all the different choices available. We frequently visit there.

    Easter brunch was quite good! Restaurant was very busy but we were seated right away. Cocktails were lovely. Buffet had unique items and meat service was prompt. They did continue to stop by even after we had turns our cards to red. Only complaint would be service at end to receive desserts and coffee was slow. Our servers were extremely friendly and personable

My 6yr old grandson gave the food 100 stars. Briane was very attentive, as were the other staff. We are going back for my grandsons birthday, and will request briane to be our server.
