    The ambiance service was excellent. Everyone on the staff was so comforting and attentive to the needs of the table. everything was properly cooked, and I could not complain about anything done. I appreciate the servers.I appreciate the restaurant. Will be reserving it for Mother's Day.

    Reservations for 8pm and didn’t get seated till 8:25pm. Drinks took 15 minutes and the food service was horrible. No servers will bring the meat and had to beg them to serve the meat and bread. I remember going to fogo the first time maybe 20 years ago and since then the service and the product had taken a nose dive. Gone are the days of Shrimp, various different kind of breads,soups at the salad bar. The meat has also changed. They don’t want to bring the filet and when they do it’s over cooked The chicken legs use to be amazing but now they have added some kind of seasoning instead of wine. I’ve been to every fogo in the US and the last 5/6 years the quality of food and service has deteriorated. Won’t be going bad. For $71 , much better options out there.

    Not the Fogo experience that I am used to in Beverly Hills. Servers and hostess were lacking the hospitality and dining experience training, giving us somewhat of a fast food experience. There were only 3 kinds of meats served, cold station was mediocre. Not the full churasco experience I was used to. Very frustrating and a waste of my money.

    I’ve been to their different locations but I was disappointed with this one. First, they didn’t serve my drink until I reminded them which took a while. Our server went on break then the next server who was helping us was always nowhere to be found. We finished our meal, we waited for a while until she came cleared our table and offered us dessert. It was my husband’s birthday so I asked for a birthday cake. It’s been about 20 minutes again waiting for the cake I had to cancel. We came in for lunch and not even a lot of people, we’re here more than 2 hours and spent most of our time waiting.

    Meat was good, the side/salad bar was a miss. A lot of things that nobody wanted or could identify. Meat servers were great, main server was her most friendly when putting down her card and requesting a review. It was basic service from her and certainly not memorable.

    The worst service Fogo I have ever been to. Took them 20 minutes just to get our water and cheese bread. Didn’t get our first cut of meat until 30+ minutes after sitting down.

    This is the best salad bar deal on the planet. $18 for the best selection you can imagine. It's a well kept secret! The space in Irvine is beautiful!

    We came for the Carnival event, drinks and appetizers. The staff were all very nice and the food and drinks were great. My only complaint was that we were charged $17 for 2 bottle of water for our table of 4. All the tables had a blue bottle of water on their table, so we just assumed it was how they serve water for this event, since it was a drink and app event. We only found out that it was extra charge once we got the bill. We paid it cause we drank the water, but that’s so sneaky of the restaurant to do that.

    We have been to this restaurant about 4 times….very spaced apart. And every single time we come, the manager, Eva DeJong, remembers us and our son. She is spectacular. We go at least 6 months between visits, but she always immediately recognizes us and says hi, gives us special attention etc. She stands out, and she’s the reason we will come back again. You’re lucky to have her at this restaurant!!
