   Excellent food as always. Very good server. Noise level not bad at all but we were in a corner which helps to minimize sound.

   We had a 6:15 reservation for 4 people. 2 people in our party were a few minutes early and were seated and ordered drinks. We (2 people) arrived and were directed to our table, not sat by the host. We sat down and within 1 minute our server came over and asked if we were all having the Churrasco Experience. He didn’t ask if we wanted drinks, just went straight to what we were ordering for dinner. I said we would like drinks first and needed time to look at the menu. Within 2 more minutes, another server came over and asked if she could take our menus! I mentioned to her that we had not ordered yet so she said “ok, are you ready to order?” No! We had been there less than 5 minutes! I actually was the only one at the table that was not ordering the Churrasco, I opted for the Sea Bass but apparently they were out, “because it was busy”. Went with the Churrasco Experience and was disappointed. They came around with only 4 different meats of the 10 that are on the menu. The bacon wrapped steak was inedible and we had to ask for the sides of polenta, potatoes and caramelized bananas that are included only to be told that they were out of polenta. Overall, not a great experience and we felt very rushed.

   Service was terrible - sat there for a 1/2 hr and no one came to table. We got up and left

   Take my advice and pass on dining here for a holiday. This is our second time dining here with the same result - an extended wait past your reservation time. My guess is they double, if not triple book, their reservations on holidays. Our party of 3 arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and checked in. We waited 50 minutes for our table. The check in team was more than aware there was an extended wait time past the reservation, and they never said so, or provided an expected or anticipated wait time. It’s a personal pet peeve when businesses can’t attempt to manage a customer’s expectations. Tell me it’s going to be a 40-50 minute wait and we know what we are in for, and whether it’s doable for our party. Once seated, we had wonderful service by Kate which was great after the long wait. She kept our glasses full, and appetizers on the table. The salad bar was badly picked over and a second trip didn’t yield refills from the missing items the first pass through. The meats came in large bursts rather than a flow of servers. If it wasn’t for the great service it wouldn’t have been as enjoyable as it wound up being. However we now know the process for holidays and we won’t be back again on a holiday for sure.

   NEGATIVES: 1) Reservations - Are a joke. Entrance and any area to stand, including stairs, were packed with people. They certainly couldn't all have reservations. Our wait was extensive. I requested Main Room dining when I made the reservations in November. We were seating upstairs. 2) Food should be labeled, especially salad dressings and sauces. Absolutely nothing is labeled. 3) Soup was lukewarm, at best. There were no beans. 4) We asked about potatoes and the server said they were low so they were keeping it in the kitchen. POSITIVES: The servers were pleasant and were readily available when we were ready for more meat.

   Unfortunately, Fogo is not prepared to provide the quality of their food during holiday service. The meats were barely cooked and almost every single one was so rare and lukewarm,it might as well have been fresh from the source. The sides were horrible; the mashed potatoes which were so gummy, it reminded me of a 1st grade craft project. Their cheese bread were cold, as were the bananas. Love this place but they need to limit their reservations on a holiday to a number they can provide their usual high quality food, or limit their menu so that the staff can cook to the normal standard.

   We had a person using a walker with us so I requested an easily accessible table and the host rolled his eyes; we were in a side dining room and did not receive many of the protein options and had to flag down someone to request some of what did finally come by our table. There were some servers who were very attentive.

   Our reservation was at 4 but we didn’t get seated until 430/445, understanding that it’s a holiday but that’s a long time past reservation. Once we were seated our waitress was there promptly to take orders and tell us how things worked. It took a while for the people with meats to come around and our table was often skipped. After letting staff know it still took a long time before getting meats and we were often skipped. At this point we were just ready to go. This was our first time at this location.

   Had several servers pass our table for unknown reasons. Looked right at us many times and kept going. Very poor service. First Christmas we went a couple years ago, was a very nice experience. This one was not and will not return.
