Everything was very nice. Fillet slightly too overdone. Greg, our server, was lively and professional.

Service was fantastic. Food was well cooked. I always get a bit tired of an abundance of tougher sirloin presented a handful of ways.

This is a new Fogo de Chao and the staff are still getting their bearings. Service was fair, but lacked the quality experienced at other Fogos. The market bar is one-sided as compared to a round one at most Fogos, so there were a lot of people crowded around it and it seemed to offer less options than other stores. The chicken salad - a Fogo staple- was not what we expected, lacking the huge chucks of chicken. The meats were just okay. Temperatures ranged from barely cooked (ultra rare) to overcooked and very little in between. The sides were OK, bananas and mashed potatoes were lukewarm and mushy. The cheese rolls were delicious! Overall, just an OKish visit. I would not rush back to this location, but Beverly Hills instead. Maybe in a few months they'll have all of the kinks worked out?!

They are still working out their growing pains since opening up. Majority of food was overcooked and they didn't offer different temperatures of meat.
