Fantastic Fogo right on the wharf. Food was good and salad bar was excellent. Each steak piece was well seasoned and cooked. They even asked us what else we wanted and proceeded to cut us off at least half a filet mignon. Highly recommend

Thank you for sharing your glowing feedback, Will! We're thrilled to know you enjoyed the flavors of our cuts and the Market Table. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic experience on the wharf.

My visit on July 12, 2025 was just OK. I’ve been coming to Fogo for several years, but this particular location is much more lively, loud music and generally just not a relaxing atmosphere like the other Fogo locations. And my reservation, I requested dining room, but my party of six was placed at a high top in the bar area, which contributed to the noise level. We would have preferred to be seated in the dining area at a dining table. Our server was not that attentive and she left without notifying us that she was leaving for the night so we were looking for a server and our check for a minute before someone came.

Very poor service by the server, although the meat servers tried to make up for it. The cost was not worth the value.

They didn’t have cucumbers on the salad bar which was disappointing. They didn’t bring mash potatoes for a long time. We didn’t refills on our drinks until we were ready to leave. The meats stopped coming for like 30 minutes. It was not well run.

服務生出喪事，總是拿著肌肉跟豬肉，如果想吃ribeye得自己要求，不然很難吃到，這部分讓人覺得服務比較沒那麼好
