    It was chaotic and the servers/valet/chefs/reception personnel were handling it with Grace and patience. The food was awesome and the buffets were kept filled. It was a very special outing with a special group of friends celebrating a wonderful holiday season. I would highly recommend the grand concourse for any special occasion.

    Great experience! Meal was perfectly paced; food served chilled or hot. Excellent service. Mussels and crostini were tantalizing. Mushroom flatbread was tasty. Apple & blue cheese salad and interspersed blue cheese crumbles were superb. Cannoli was the coup de grace. All to best to Osteria 2350 soon to be alumni!

    We decided to try the resteraunt for a family celebration for a college graduation. I mentioned it would be a graduation when I made the reservation but didn’t request anything special. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a private room decorated beautifully for the holidays and the occasion. We had first class service from multiple staff doting on us including the manager. Our server was top tier! Fabulous wine list, table side cace de oepe and veal chops were delicious with superb presentation. They quickly made accommodations for an allergy and an offered a vegetarian menu option. We are an Italian family who love to cook and eat and it’s hard to impress us but we were all over the moon with our experience and meals. They even treated the graduate to a special dessert! Definitely felt like an elevated family Italian celebration!. Truly impressed and we will be back!! Highly recommend!

    My husband and I had a lovely time at Fogo de Chao, we had dinner around 8:45 on a Saturday, it took an extra 10~ min to find a table after our reservation time. But on a Saturday that is completely understandable. The experience was $60 per person, and I would say it was well worth the price. There were a few pieces of meat where it was just fat/gristle but they come around quite often so we were able to enjoy everything. The drinks were well priced and delicious. The staff was very helpful and observant.
