   Loud and too many tables jammed in. Waiters bumping into me as I sat at the end of our table. $10 for valet parking- parking lot was full.

   A group of us 10 dined in last night for an event..Food went around was not enough. Drinks were great. WE kept asking severs for more food but none camwle around. We left hungry and went to another restaurant to eat. It was our 2nd time there we wont be back for sure. So disappointed with the whole experience. We barely got the taste of ribeyes and tomahawk as advertised

   Attended the Whiskey and pass apps events with my wife and in-laws. We had the best time. The selection of whiskeys to try had something for every whiskey lover and the pass apps that never stopped coming around were very good. Zaila and Frank took the best care of our party, very attentive and anticipated our needs. Did I mention the price point ? $45 per person for four two ounce pours and all the apps you could want. Fogo does it right, we will definitely be back, might even attempt the upcoming Tequila tasting!

   Restaurant was packed! Salad bar was full of varieties, server was nice. Meat wasn't around all that much, until the manager told us we can ask for specific cuts, and they will bring it around.

   We had an open-table reservation. When all of us arrived, we were seated right on time. Our server brought us drinks and menus immediately. The menu was explained and easy to understand. We are super picky and critical. Everything was outstanding. Perfect. We even got the big window we had requested. We have been to other Brazilian restaurants, but Brea rocks it. Our tab was alot less than we expected. There was plenty of parking also. We decided Brea will be our spot from now on. Even when impressing a guest, we're taking them there.

   The meat servers constantly skipped our table, and we requested our waiter FIVE TIMES for them to stop by but our request was not met. Not worth the money

   Food is good, tends to be on a salty side but tolerable. You do have to ask for certain higher end/unique cuts. Service is hit and miss.

    Service, drinks, food were OK, but nothing to warrant another visit.
