    As always, our night at Fogo was amazing. Several of the servers and the gauchos remembered us, and knew what exactly we liked. Everyone was prompt and attentive. The market table was well stocked, even for being busy. The meats were amazing as usual, all hot and juicy. My absolute favorite is the grilled cheese with honey. Do not pass on this delicious treat! If you have never been, make sure you park in the correct garage, the one connected to the restaurant. They validate your parking for you. Make sure you sign up for their rewards also. So far we have earned half off one experience and a free meal! My husband and I could eat here every week.

    First time in Pittsburgh and wanted to try this place. My 10yo and I had the Beef Wellington for two, it was amazing. The Sargent pepper old fashion was made to perfection. The carrots and potatoes sides were undercooked twice. Still well worth the visit!

    Excellent food, polite service, great live singer. Pricey. Brussels sprouts too salty, in contrast to the sea bass which needed some added taste. Beet salad and lamb chops were excellent. Drinks and dessert were excellent.
