   We only went to Fogo de Chao because we'd been given $100 gift card. It's probably great if you like to eat a lot since it's essentially all you can eat for $67.50. The lamb chops were great, but the other meats were generally chewy without much flavor. There was no salt or pepper on the table. (Fortunately, my wife always has a tin of Jacobson Black Garlic sea salt in her purse.) The bacon-wrapped chicken was good. The salad bar had a good variety but I don't like the self-service concept, even if we are no longer in a pandemic. It was a Saturday night, so the place was packed, with lots of children and loud music, so very noisy. We ate in the bar area, awkwardly sitting on couches that were too low, even sitting on the pillows which were probably intended for behind your back. Our primary server was excellent and all the servers were friendly and competent. Parking was surprisingly difficult - worse than Costco on a Saturday afternoon. I'm sure some people would love the energy and all that meat, just not us.

   This location was severely below average. I’ve dined at Fogo before and they’re not always Top notch, this location was incredibly awful. The first indication was the salad bar. As you walked through the bar, its proximity to the kitchen is so close you can smell the foul odors coming from the kitchen. That was the first sign that things were going badly. The food options on the bar were terrible , low quality, and minimal options. Last but not least, the waiter was told we wanted the food cooked well. The meats were furiously rushed and served, no seasoning and bland. They were dripping with blood and you can tell they weren’t fresh meats low quality and the cooks were just sticking meats on sticks as the servers just ran them out to the floor forcing people to just eat it. No pride no shame and never going to Fogo ever again. We noticed the waiter just didn’t care to deal with our request and didn’t bother. We left as quickly as we arrived and the customers around us noticed we were not happy.

   Service and food was great! We were there on Christmas so it was very busy. We unfortunately had a table very close to the host area so there was a constant flow of people walking by. It’s a very open restaurant with music playing so not quiet. If you are looking for a more intimate quiet setting I wouldn’t recommend it.

   The variety of dishes offered is amazing. We did not find anything we didn't like. Several options exist on how much food you actually want. We chose the single entree option and it still gives you access to a huge variety of vegetables and side dishes. The wait staff is extremely attentive, patience, helpful and knowledgeable. We will be back. Since the place was full it was a bit noisy but you could still have a conversation and hear the background music.

   Nose level along with background music felt more like being at a bar than a restaurant. While some may appreciate the rotating meat servers I was not impressed with the quality of the meat not the constant barrage of servers. Just not my kind of restaurant

    We had an amazing date at Fogo! Great cuts and delicious feijoada. All of the servers were very friendly and helpful. Lucas, the Customer Service Rep, was especially wonderful at making sure everything was going well for us. My Brasilian partner spoke in Portuguese with many staff members! Great experience!
