   David and Jared made our experience WONDERFUL! The food was delicious. We enjoyed the Marketplace vegetable and charcuterie bar as well as single entrees of Seabass and Salmon. The drinks were perfectly crafted. The ambiance was lively and festive, yet not overwhelming. We cannot wait to return.

   Lots of idled wait time…10 mins before seated (with quite some empty tables)…sparse visits by meat servers (5 total kinds served in a span of 1.5 hours)…then 30 mins wait for checking out (lack of server availability and many back and fore on correcting our bill when they were available). On top of very slow service, received some change of attitudes from servers and manager when used gift certificate.

   We had a reservation at 6:30 but did not get seated for an hour for a party of 4. Very unreasonable. The entryway was full of parties having the same issue.

   Christmas day! Very busy. Staff was wonderful. Lamb was amazing. Wine was fab. My only complaint was no seating while we waited for a table I am unable to stand for very long and there were no bar stools and no seating for those of us who had to wait except outside and it was cold That’s a big miss so we won’t be back unless it a very slow night

   We had a great experience!! Some had entrees (salmon and sea bass) while others took part in the “protein parade” and all food was delicious! The service was outstanding from beginning to end - you could tell that each employee was well trained and really liked their job despite it being the crazy holiday season. Our only difficulty was the “energetic” noise level that kept a few in our party from hearing each other. I was really glad we chose an early reservation, knowing it might be an issue for the elderly in our group.

    It was our first time going to Fogo. We went with the full experience and meat after meat was brought to us immediately. The salad bar was great too! We ordered cocktails and they came out quick. But we ordered wine after and it was taking too long to come out. We had already finished the food and were ready for the bill and the wine had not come. We asked to cancel the wine order and get the check. The Customer Experience worker came over and ordered us free desserts because of the inconvenience. Even though we were super full, we destroyed the desserts and they were so good! Happy with the overall experience and grateful for the attentive staff who made things better.
