    We celebrated two birthdays, and Paul made our experience the best!! Paul was so friendly, the best host/server. We each ordered a different meal and they were all delicious.  And you can’t go wrong with the location, the Emma Hotel on the Riverwalk! Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

    Wonderful experience. I took my parents, 86 and 88 years of age. The staff was helpful and the food was excellent. They gave us a wonderful view and patiently help my father in a wheelchair. The smoked applewood bourbon drink was no only delicious but a beautiful presentation at our table.

    We ate at Fogo de Chão on New Year’s Day to start our 2025 and it was very good. The restaurant was busier than I expected but the three of us had a reservation so not to worry. The staff brought my 101 year old mother the salt-free lamb chops that she always requests which were a bit overcooked but still tender and delicious. My friend and I enjoyed the other various cuts of beef, and we all enjoyed the salad bar and the sides… especially the little cheese breads. We’ve tried the cheese breads at other Brazilian restaurants but the best ones are at Fogo. The only negative was the very last cut of meat for me which was a chunk of picaña instead of a slice. It was very fibrous and hard to cut but I suppose that was because it was a remaining portion of the meat instead of a sliced piece. Other than that, we had a very good experience once again and we will be back! P.S. I forgot to take any pictures this time because I was enjoying the food a little too much.
