   We frequent Fogo and always have been very satisfied. I was shocked when I got the check…$61 a head!?! When did it sky rocket in price? Other than that, food was great, prepared perfect.

   Overall an alright experience, we kept asking for Medium Well meats, but we kept getting Medium Rare for 80 percent of the time, noise wise we got a really noisy side of the restaurant which is fine but at no point did they tell the table being extremely loud to tone it down a little bit and to be more aware of their surroundings I remember when it used to be a little more calm and reserved but it seems like they’ve become super lenient on how loud it is in there. Service wise they did alright as well the servers check in in very long intervals, I just feel like they were a little too busy and I don’t blame them for that.

   I expected it to be a busy night however, ended up waiting 30 minutes to be sat from our original reservation time, as well as many others who had the same reservation time. I expected service to be a bit slow due to the holiday and that was fine, however, we waited a good time before our waiter even came to greet us, and noticed other tables were greeted shortly from being sat, our drinks also took a while to come out. I’ve been coming here for years with my family and receive excellent service, staff regularly check in about drinks, more sides, fresh plates, more water. We received none of that tonight other than being asked about another drink and plates one time and not once again for the 2 hours it took being there. I requested the lamb chops whenever they became available, they never came, as I watched our waiter check in with other tables, overheard them ask the table next to us if they had received what they requested yet, updated about getting them more sides, took me 30 minutes to find anyone to order a dessert and ask for our bill. There was another waiter around that kept being a bit loud and poorly behaved coming up to the table right next to us squealing about not having any more reservations for the night, essentially complaining about people dining there, and at one point even took a FaceTime call up to one of the diners sitting next to us. Along with the food that came around was repetitive and i know it wasn’t all that is available since they sat us in a private room area that made it difficult to catch anyone else. I was disappointed in the service as i have always spoke highly about this place to my partner and feel as the same service or experience was not received in two different occasions we dined here alone compared to the times i have come in with my family.

   We had a “reservation” that we had to wait 40 minutes to be sat for. After being seated it then took 15 minutes for someone to finally come to our table and offer us steak. While most likely a preference the roasted vegetable sides were extremely over salted.

   We had a reservation for 730 Friday Valentine’s Day for two people. We weren’t sat until 45 minutes after our reservation we decided to try and get a drink at the bar which took over 40 minutes and when we were called for our table, they refused to see us until our tab was fully closed at the bar we couldn’t get the attention from any bartenders. The host sat a later reservation before us and then told me to calm down when I asked to be sat while my boyfriend close out our tap at the bar. The food was great other than.

   I probably won’t be coming back here. It really felt like we were at Golden Coral. First, we had to wait 45 minutes past our reservation time for a table. The buffet options seemed rather limited compared to Texas De Brazil. And I really didn’t like the atmosphere. It just gave “family of 8 value dinner” vibes and not $62 a plate vibes like I expected. The thing that turned me off most though was that I ordered a martini and noticed something all around the rim of my glass. It was lipstick marks around the entire thing. I’m a guy so it certainly wasn’t from me. They gave me a used glass to drink from.The waitress quickly addressed it and comped the drink, but it just shows the lack of sanitation here, on par with a Golden Coral. It was disgusting. So I don’t recommended this place. I think Linger or Shanahan’s may have been a better option but both were book this night and I can see why this one was still available.

   Food wasn’t that good. The meats were all very fatty and the salad bar was a bit of a mess and some of the food looked like it had been out for awhile. It took 40mins before we got our drinks which by then we were basically done eating. We also had a 6:45p reservation and we weren’t sat until 7:20p. Just wasn’t a great experience. Not sure I would recommend to anyone.
