   Service was really great here. It seems like everyone works together. The drinks were amazing and cheap. The food was good.

   Our group attended the Stags Leap wine pairing and Fogo de Chao did not disappoint. The wines were great, the food was outstanding and the service was excellent. Our server, Timmy, was on point the entire night, as he was very attentive and engaging. Jacob, one of the events managers, took amazing care of our party even arranging an accommodation for a food allergy. Bartenders Morgan and Joel made sure our night out ended well, they were super friendly and professional. We are definitely returning for another event.

   It took almost an hour for us to get the meat portion of our meal. I think the waitresses were changing shifts. Nevertheless, it’s not a good excuse. We would see meat being served around us at other tables. Three of us finally got our beef and then 30 minutes later the other 2 finally got their lamb.

   It took over 22 minutes to serve our meat. They forgot our drinks and served it to another table. When our meat finally arrived, it was so salty. This is our first and last experience here. I would not recommend.

   Great food but crowded on a Saturday at 6:45. All was good but next time I would prefer to come when it’s less crowded.

   What a disappointing experience. We have been here multiple times and had a great meal and a great time. This time we waited almost 20 minutes past our reservation time, and were finally offered a “high top” seat. Upon sitting, it was so uncomfortable (seats disproportionally tall for the very small table so our knees barely fit under and we had to lean down to eat) that we asked to move. We were told the other tables were for guests with reservations. We explained that we had reservations, and we were then told they were for guests of 4 or 6. With respect to service, we needed to ask multiple times for water, beverages, straws, and sides. Some of which never came. The food at the market salad bar was delicious, the meat was dry and with a long delay between servings. Many times we had to try to catch the servers’ attention to receive meats. Overall, a shame.

   We had a 4:30 reservation and we were not seated until after 5pm. We ordered wine and we waited over 10 minutes until we asked the server about if the wine was coming, they said it was coming. The people serving the meat would serve us every 10 minutes. The sides were cold and stale. I stated on my reservation that we were celebrating my husbands birthday, however they forgot. I had to remind them it’s his birthday and if my husband will receive a dessert? The server said “oh I didn’t know, yes of course.” I wish I didn’t have to ask and the restaurant surprised us with the dessert.

    Our table was given to us on time. The waitress was helpful in our ordering. There were waiters waking around with meat that was good. Right until we got our tomahawk, the meat was dry and it was on a salt block that was used to cook the meat. Kind of embarrassing because we went from a nice restaurant to cooking the tomahawk ourselves like KBQ or something like that. The salt block made the meat super salty and not enjoyable to eat. The manager came to us and ask to take the price of the salads off the check but I told him the salads were actually better than the tomahawk. We will not return here at all.
