    Thank you to the staff for being able to accommodate us. I had originally booked our party for 20 people and even when they called to confirm I added 6 more guests and that still wasn’t enough! My children ended up joining us last minute and I’m thankful that Sylvia was able to accommodate us and take care of us and not make us feel bad nor left out. With such a big party, they handled us with ease!! I would assume it could be overwhelming but Sylvia did amazing with us and attended to all of our needs in such a quick manner! We truly have no complaints about the restaurant and or staff!

    Athena, what a joy to read this 5-star review! We’re grateful your celebration felt seamless, and we appreciate your kind words about Sylvia and our team’s care with your large party. We’d love to welcome you back soon, and joining Fogo Rewards can make future visits even more rewarding. Best

    Our server kept us waiting for long periods, and there seemed to be a lot of confusion about our order. We did not order the Churrasco Experience, yet the staff repeatedly came to our table offering different cuts of meat. We had ordered the tomahawk steak and chicken dinner with three sides. Unfortunately, all three sides arrived first, and we had to wait another 20 minutes before our main dishes were finally served. By then, the sides were already getting cold. I had also indicated on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but our server didn't seem to be aware of the occasion. Instead, she repeatedly insisted that we order dessert, even after we made it clear that we weren't interested. For the price we paid, I expected much better service, communication, and attention to detail. What should have been an enjoyable birthday dinner turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience.

    Holly, thank you for sharing this. We aim for smooth pacing, clear communication, and thoughtful celebrations, and we understand how your visit felt short of that. A Manager may be reaching out to learn more so we can follow up with our team. Thank you.

    The place was great with an even better service from MJ and Andrea. For drinks, we got Gold Rush, Yellowbird, Fall Seasonal (coconut-based), and Espresso Martini. For food, we got lobster Mac and cheese, and tomahawk steak, it was all delicious! Will definitely come back.

    Fantastic to hear your visit hit the mark, Fitsum! We appreciate your kind words about MJ and Andrea, and it is great the cocktails, lobster mac and cheese, and tomahawk were a win. Since you plan to return, you might enjoy joining Fogo Rewards for exclusive perks. Best

    First time here, our first server seemed okay until she disappeared and we had to ask a different server all our newbie questions and she was able to help us for the rest of the night. There was a time where the passador stopped coming to our tabel even though we had our card flipped to green. They went to all the tabels around us with out hesitation. The was the first time all of my group has dined with Fogo and we will not be going back.

    We were invited back by tbe manager after our first time experience went so negatively. David and Faye took excellent care of us, and I appreciate the manager, Rafael, reaching out to make things right. Our experience this time around is exactly what we hoped for the first time. The food was delicious and service was impeccable. I’d be happy this recommend this restaurant, and for people to be seated in Davis and Faye’s sections.

    Fogo is not what I remember. The meat only came when we asked for it. Had to chase down certain cuts as were most certainly did not even see everything. Also was hot in the restaurant and got sweaty. Will not be coming back
