My husband and I had the best time dining at the Irvine Fogo de Chao last night! We both walked away so full, satisfied, and touched. The servers went the extra mile to make sure I had well-done meat choices since I am pregnant. Multiple staff members checked in on us and made us feel seen. We had two touching conversations with a server and our server, Mikey. It was the best night!
