I was here to celebrate my brother’s birthday. The atmosphere was nice and upscale, but service was very slow. We did the experience and my partner remarked how he had never eaten more salad than meat at a Fogo de Chao before. We also waited a while for the birthday dessert, and “birthday” was misspelled (“brithday”) on the plate. A disappointing experience, to say the least.

For the first time I can say that I had a bad experience, it took almost 20 minutes for a server to show up to my table, and after that I had to wait almost another 20 minutes to be able to get someone to my table with steak. I just hope this doesn’t happen again because I love this place

The buffet had some items like stale bread and dried out fruit and veggies other than that it was a phenomenal experience. We will come back.
