Best Brazilian Restaurants in Darien

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, each dish was full of flavor and the quality of the ingredients was evident. The atmosphere of the place is very pleasant, with a cozy decor that invites you to relax. I was able to enjoy my time and my meal with great satisfaction, which made the evening even more special. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food in a pleasant setting. I will definitely be returning!

Overall great experience. It was really busy due to Valentine’s Day weekend to be expected, so no big deal. However, during our dining experience one of the servers holding the meat was very rude. He came to the table to serve meat and was about to leave without serving my fiancé. Even though my fiancé had stepped away from the table I wanted to make sure that he was served. So when the server turned as if he was leaving I raise my hand accidentally touched the server and said I’m sorry excuse me can I have some for my fiancé also. He served it and said don’t touch me again ok. I have never had this type of experience here before and it definitely brought down the mood for the evening. I had no intention of touching anyone and even apologized because it was accidental. Overall great experience but certain staff members needs a retraining on customer service!

Team did a great job on Valentine’s Day, it was very busy, but I had no complaints. The service and food was great!

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day lunch! The place was busy but not frantically so. After some initial trouble getting the table setting right, the service was very smooth. This time we thought the lamb was the star, followed by the Parmesan pork. The salad bar (which we know not to overdo!) nicely diverse. We’ve learned you can’t go wrong with Fogo de Chao.

We went on Valentine's Day for lunch and it wasn't busy. The meats were excellent and my boyfriend was in heaven. The tri-tip and sausages were the high points for me. The parmesan chicken and parmesan pork were rather bland and dry. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have the beef ribs, but the manager told me that certain meats aren't served during lunch to keep the price down, which is fair. The fried bananas and cheese bread were good, but nothing special. I LOVED the potatoes gratin and sauteed mushrooms. The boyfriend loved the mashed potatoes. If you're not a meat eater, you'll be very happy with the salad bar as there was lots of variety and plenty of heartier & higher-end items: potato salad, fresh mozzarella, two kinds of olives, goat cheese, smoked salmon, it goes on and on. I'm obsessed with the very generously-sized papaya mousse dessert, and haven't stopped thinking about it since. The service was really wonderful. The waiter, the gauchos, and manager were all kind and attentive. The waiter kept an eye out and proactively checked in, refilling our drinks and such. The gauchos seem to have a sixth sense for what you need more of. Definitely going back.
