   I don’t usually complain about restaurants and servers and don’t write this kind of a review, but I have to do it. The worst dining experience. Server (Benny) didn’t accommodate what I requested and barely showed up to my table. Food/meat wasn’t that pleasing . Overall space/hallway was narrow, and everyone including the servers were hitting my chair and table. It took 20 minutes to get the check although I was keep asking for it. Fogo de chao wasn’t like this in the past and it definitely has gone downhill. Never coming back.

   Waited until our 4th visit to review. Food is good. That is when it comes around. Servers tend to “forget” to bring meats to certain sections unless you repeatedly request. They never seem to have enough servers even though they work in a team. It takes forever to get drinks and refills. If you order off the menu, instead of taking churrasco experience, forget about them explaining that you’re still supposed to take the meat as they come around and serve it and that you’re limited to that single cut. We asked multiple people. It’s not that the servers don’t try. They are severely understaffed. Came this week with a bunch of other parties going on. We made reservations weeks in advance. We weren’t the only table that was frustrated with lack of service. You think that who ever schedules wait staff would have planned ahead. Dinner service is by far the worst. Lunch was decent. I won’t go out of my way to come back but if I do it will be during lunch.

   We had a great time food and service was excellent. My only suggestion is to get rid of the high boost tables they are too small and too close to each other making it difficult to get out. Other than that it was nice

   This place looks so nice on the outside but the inside is so packed with tables you have a hard time walking, the meat that came out was just ok but after dinner my stomach was no good all night

   We had our holiday company party here. And everything was excellent. From the bartender, the waitress and the managers. The food is absolutely amazing, I would recommend fasting for the day before you come here!

    Restaurant is poorly laid out and was very noisy. It was hard for us to enjoy the experience and we felt cramped eating and getting up to get food.
