We went for our valentine dine in experience and we couldn’t be more pleased to have Litzy as our server. Her kindness and enthusiasm was everything. Also Mike/michael serving the tequila shots was such a gentleman.

Went on Valentine’s Day and they had a minimal selection of cuts brought to our table. Mostly top sirloin. The variety of meats were not there that night it felt like. One of the waiters brought a sample of drinks to our table but were not really samples. He placed them down without our confirmation and said it was 10$ for each. Had to ask the other waiter to remove the drinks from our table and our tab.

Valentine’s Day Disappointment – 3/10 I had high expectations for Fogo de Chão, but my experience on Valentine’s Day was subpar. The restaurant was overcrowded, with tables crammed within two feet of each other, making it feel more like a busy food market than a nice dining establishment. The noise level and lack of space took away from any sense of an enjoyable atmosphere. Service was affected by the crowd—gauchos took a long time to return with meats, and the food itself was just mediocre. To make things worse, the cocktails were watered down and poorly made. I get that Valentine’s Day is a busy night, but for the price, I expected better service, food, and ambiance. If you’re looking for a special occasion dinner, you might want to consider other options.

Venue was packed but honestly I didn’t mind it, once we were seated our server Kyle was amazing and checked up on us often and facilitated any need we had throughout the night. Which was impressive given it was probably one of their busiest nights of the year. The food was amazing as always and ambiance was what you should expected on a day like Valentine’s Day, full of life. I can’t wait to go back for another visit.

We went to Fogo de Chão for a Valentine’s dinner, and the experience was far from good. Let’s start at check-in. We had a 6 PM reservation and arrived right on time, yet we were met with a long line of at least 30 people ahead of us. I have no idea what time their reservations were, but we ended up waiting 55 minutes for our table. Clearly, Fogo de Chão severely overbooked. Once we were finally seated, our waiter approached us politely to take our order. I asked for the single Churrasco option from the menu, only to be told it wasn’t available that night. That was a huge disappointment since I can’t eat too much meat. I get that it’s Valentine’s Day and restaurants want to maximize profits, but this was excessive. Needless to say, we won’t be coming back. If you still choose to dine here, good luck! Chao!

The food service was abysmal. The various meat servers were very infrequent. I definitely did not feel the service justified the price.

Food and service are excellent however, it was so cold that people were sitting in jackets with their hats on. We had to leave early due to this.
