   Wonderful experience! 4-course wine dinner with Stags Leap pairings. The Sauvignon Blanc was my favorite. Very crisp and grassy notes. The food was amazing and very generous. Start with small charcuterie board for the table, then a selection of meats and then more meats including ribeye waygu. All delicious. Enjoyed it all and would do it again!!!

   Food was good for the price. The noise level a bit high and the service was acceptable.

   Don’t know if they were short staffed. The meat was flowing like it should. Considering how expensive that option is, once your card is green, you shouldn’t have to look around to find a server. They tried to seat us at a table for 5 when our reservation was for 8. The employee tried to move chairs to add 3 more chairs and I had to tell her that wouldn’t work for us. How can you squeeze 8 people at a table for 5? Unacceptable. We also ordered shrimp and lobster which we never got but showed up in our bill, 48 doallrs. When I said something, it seemed like our waitress didn’t believe me. Smh. Def not going back!

   Our recent family dinner at Fogo de Chão fell significantly short of expectations. The rushed service created an uncomfortable atmosphere from the moment we were seated. While my wife and I took turns accompanying our children to wash up before visiting the salad bar, servers repeatedly approached our table with unnecessary inquiries, making it difficult to simply enjoy conversation with our family. The restaurant's signature offering—the variety of premium meat cuts—was particularly disappointing. Many advertised options never appeared despite our requests. When we specifically asked for certain cuts prepared to our preferred temperature, these requests went unfulfilled. The meat we did receive was of mediocre quality and improperly cooked. For an establishment that markets itself as providing a premium dining experience, Fogo de Chão failed to deliver on both service and cuisine. The combination of pushy staff and subpar food quality made for an unsatisfying meal that didn't justify the premium price point.

   Terrible for a foga. Salad bar looked like it eas made 3 days prior, more non steak than steak options. Meat is heavily salted and basically a disappointment all around. Really not worth price anymore. You’re honestly much better off getting a 18oz ribeye at roadhouse or similar.

   I like this restaurant but I am not a fan of Brazilian steak house places I’m sorry I’m not a good candidate for this survey

    Salads are pre-made with heavy amounts of dressing. Can’t make your own salad from scratch at the salad bar. Meats were ok but not that flavorful or unique.
