   Tom was very attentive. Food arrived in timely manner. However, wasn’t pleased that we was t seated until an hour later. Would like if customers reserve they are at least 15 minutes afterwards. If customers don’t show up after 10-15 min they lose their spot. I also notice my second drink was dirty. I didn’t notify server. I waited on a straw that I did not receive.

   Always go to Texas de brazil but had gift certificate for fogo. Stopped for a drink at bar but only 5 chairs at bar and 2 high tops - terrible. Atmosphere was mediocre. Salad bar said smoked salmon but not to be found. Texas has shrimp and lobster bisque on salad bar this one was terrible- squash soup and nothing of interest. Food was no were near Texas de brasll. No wonder they had the discount coupon.

   The food and service were great, BUT double check your bill. We were given a lunch menu for dinner. We ordered based on the prices off the lunch menu, but we were billed off the dinner menu prices. Luckily one of the people we were with caught the mistake and the manager corrected the error and charged us the lunch menu prices. Check your menu and check your bill. Inexcusable mistake.

   Service was nonexistent. Waited 10 mins for clean plates. Finally went to the salad bar and grabbed plates for my entire family so we could eat. Had to literally go find a server to bring us water as well. The service here is inexcusable for the price. They weren’t even busy just no one doing much of anything. I feel I should have tipped myself as I did the majority of the work. It was my son’s 12th birthday we were celebrating too. Will certainly be going somewhere else next year. The last few times I’ve dined here it’s been pretty much the same. They don’t seem to care much anymore. I wouldn’t waste my time here again go somewhere that appreciates their customers and are attentive to them.

   I think the overall presentation was great, and I enjoyed the options available. All the chicken dishes I had were dry. Good flavor but dry. I also wish they had more hot sides.

   To start I believe Fogo de Chao needs to reevaluate how they handle the holidays if you’re going to be open. Firstly reservations, you have people awaiting for their tables and there isn’t much of a waiting area, the bar great idea! However! There is not enough bar staff to accommodate the people waiting for a table and it was very slow. If you’re going to provide a bar for people waiting, make it easier for them to get a drink while waiting! More staff there! Very disappointed this year in the quality of meat! Last year the meats were amazing this year not so much! Super fatty and less quality. The prices went up but the quality of meat went down. The service was less than good. We were sat and had to ask for plates numerous times, eventually we gave up and just grabbed them from the salad bar. When we needed fresh plates we had to ask again for them, the waitress was at the table two times! To ask us a drink order and for the bill that was it! That wasn’t acceptable. Your customers pay very good money for this and it wasn’t a very good experience this year. For what you pay, the service should be better and the quality of meat should be so much better

    Made a reservation and arrived a few minutes early. It was packed. We had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. The servers were fast and we were getting table side service immediately. The salad bar was clean, organized, and well stocked. Our table was next to a station and our waitress spent a lot of time there chit chatting and other staff got us water and bread while she was off socializing. Other than the initial wait and needing to ask other staff members for water or the check, it was a good experience.
