   This was our second visit. The service is excellent. As soon as we were seated, our server was at the table with water and taking our drink orders. He told us certain bottles of wine were half price which was very helpful in making a decision. The salad bar was fresh and full. We never had to wait for meat which came out very hot. Highly recommend this restaurant.

   The service was good enough. The guys doing the Rodizio were not the nicest. Very serious. Food was a turn off

   I think we we went on a bad night. Our waitress disappeared after taking drink order. Others stepped in to help. I think we got handed off to a waiter but was not sure. We had almost finished dinner and I had to ask for the sides for dinner. They did come but very late into our dinner service. Not all items made the rounds to be offered table-side.

   The food is as good or better than Chima, and the salad bar might just be better. Service was good, and the space is very nice and the atmosphere is festive and energetic.

   The meat was wonderful. The salad bar a bit sparse. Not much variety. Service was wonderful as always. Very noisy.

   I've been to Fogo many times, but unfortunately, yesterday's experience was disappointing. My husband and I had to wait 30 minutes for a table, and I noticed many others were facing the same issue. The hostesses at the front were not very polite, and rather than offering a solution, they blamed the guests for the delays, saying there was nothing they could do. While I understand that long dining times can contribute to delays, it's still frustrating to be treated that way. One of the hosts was particularly unprofessional when a guest asked about her table after waiting nearly 45 minutes, and I really felt for her. As for the food, it was lackluster—the meat was bland, and we had to add salt to almost everything. We’ve always enjoyed Fogo, but sadly, yesterday was a letdown for both me and my husband.

    The waitress never got back to our table to ask if we needed drinks or collect plates. We had to ask for her to come to our table for dessert . We also had to interrupt her cleaning ( which she was more worried about cleaning the tables ) so we could get our check. Horrible service!
