   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.

   We are fans of the food and dining experience at Fogo. This new location in Santa Monica elevated our opinion of the restaurant chain primarily due to the staff. Blake, Sarah, and Logan have all checked in with us repeatedly to ensure our service and experience was excellent. Their attentiveness was very much above and beyond because each was personable, responsive, and genuine. The nature of the churrasco is labor-intensive by the very nature of how food is served, but they made sure that we felt taken care of. Much appreciated! We've been there multiple times since their store opened, and it will be our go-to location for Fogo.

   Exquisite! Attention to details. All staff were so warm and hospitable. THE BEST FOGO EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I have been dining at Fogo throughout various locations in the US and have accumulated over 50 dining experiences spanning 25 years! This was hands down the best most enjoyable dining experience of my life! Bravo and bravo Fogo!

   Everything was good about the experience except that it was very disappointing to find out that the Feijoada buffet (that they serve as an option if you don’t want barbecued) is not complete. They don’t serve the collard greens with it, which an essential part of this traditional Brazilian dish. Very disappointing!

   Asked for medium rare, server gave me the end pieces several times which of course are well done meat. Asked for coffee with cream and Bailey’s on the side as I like to mix myself to my likings, server gave me the coffee mixed with the Bailey’s already and to add insult to injury gave me the cream on the side!?!?

    I’ve been going to Fogo for 10+ years so I was excited when this location opened in walking distance from me. Service was nice, but way too often. They are still learning since it is new. I really disliked the meats, however. All of them were drenched in oil and all very overcooked, with exception of the chicken. The salad bar foods were fine. The hot apps seemed old; bread very dry and hard, mashed potatoes not creamy like usual and bananas a little sour. Maybe I’ll try this location again in a few months when they have their kinks sorted out.
