   Had a reservation but was sat in the bar area. Took 30 mins to get our drinks. There was almost nothing left on the skewers by the time they got to us. Was never served sides. Perhaps it was an off night but I wouldn’t go back.

   Service was very slow and it took over 2.5 hours for this experience. Most of the food came out cold and had to keep asking where the rest was. Wait staff was clueless with the food coming out.

   Our server was really amazing she was super nice and thoughtful. The food was really good, I love the dessert And the ambience was nice we were able to enjoy ourselves, The only thing we didn’t enjoy it was the heater next to us or in the floor, it was to much to hot at the end we just wanted to leave because of it

   Everyone at my table except one person ordered the unlimited grilled meat with the buffet. We had no problems at the beginning putting our orders and receiving our food. People bringing various grilled meat never left us hungry. However, afterwards I didn’t even get to order a second drink since we never saw our server again. We wanted to order dessert since it was a birthday celebration. It took us forever to do that and another 45 minutes to get our check. I’d probably not go to this place for a very long time till they fix their service.

   Great new location for this chain. Great salad bar with tons of options, service is also on point. Good for quick and relaxed work day lunches as well.

   Our party of four received a warm welcome upon arrival. We were seated quickly and marvelled at the classy atmosphere. Our waitress introduced herself and quickly confirmed our choices for dinner and an expensive bottle of wine. The salad bar was next and we were all pleasantly surprised at the vast array of wonderful choices. Unfortunately, for us, things soon started to unravel a bit. Our waitress returned with our choice of wine and immediately struggled with her attempt to open the bottle. That can happen to servers sometimes, then she broke the cork in half. Not being trained properly for this is bad form for a high-end expensive restaurant. Table service for the Churrasco experience soon started. Some of us had salad bar remains so we requested clean plates before starting the meat carvings. The server was unable to understand this simple request. The waitress was nowhere to be seen, so we were forced to leave our table and obtain clean plates from the salad bar ourselves. Churrasco offerings were perfectly cooked and extremely tasty. When we were full, our waitress still had not emerged to offer any follow up assistance. So we asked another passing staffer to clear the plates away as we continued to enjoy the ambience with our remaining wine. That appeared to be an imposition on her, but she did return to clear our table.  As we left the restaurant, not a single staffer engaged with us to say a simple thank you for dining with us, or we hope you enjoyed your evening. Nothing. We just disappeared into the night.  Growing pains at this newly opened Seattle location are obvious.

   The experience was wonderful. Took my wife there for her 31st birthday yesterday. My wife always wanted to eat there. It was both our first time not really a meat eater, but I found myself loving the texture and the taste of the meat,  lamb was on point. The buffet was healthy optional I would add the only thing I did not like about this place was not actually the place just don’t like how they would work the workers. They work from 9 o’clock AM until CLOSING TIME WITH NO BREAKS I would say allow them to take at least 15-30 minute break with a lunch break Washington state law

   We had a birthday party, good and pleasant place.. but very slow service, waiting when you have a reservation is ridiculous but is a policy for any those restaurants, most of our table asked for picanha meat and was definitely raw! I was satisfied with my waitress serving, he did a very well work with my choose meat (fraldinha)! I just don’t recommend the place because I was with high expectations and quality because it’s Seattle! ( Fogo de Chão Lynwood is much better at my opinion)

    We never even got to eat at the restaurant. We waited an hour after checking in for our reservation and not once were we checked on or updated. We walked out and went somewhere else. Terrible way to celebrate a special occasion.
