   The restaurant is very expensive and the environment feels cheap. The restaurant is dated unintimate - feels like a big block. Like a conference room.  the service is bad. Nobody walked us through how it works. We sat for 40 minutes with people passing us with the meat and didn’t explain how we get served. The waiters rushed off to go to other tables while we were in the middle of speaking to them. Clearly that’s a sign that the restaurant is under staffed. Our serving staff didn’t listen to us. The bathroom was gross. It felt like a cheap restaurant, except our bill was astronomical. Nothing about the experience felt special, which is why we booked there as a special occasion but you’re treated like you’re one of the masses.  The quality of the food was average.

   The food was delicious, it was an hour wait even with a reservation but it was Mother's Day and the restaurant was packed so I understand the wait. I suggest the restaurant not overbook in the future to cut down on the wait time.

   Our table was at the end near the entrance. We were ignored and often overlooked for food as it went around. I brought a group of 8. Will not be back.

   I attended one of the Dry Aged & Bourbon events at Fogo. The food was wonderful, especially the Dry Aged Tomahawk! We received our choice of two (2) - 2 oz pours of of the seven listed Bourbons. I highly re3commend these events!!

    It seemed a little chaotic at times. Overall a good place to go if you're looking for a lively place with great food variety. Most of it well above average in quality.
