    Been waiting to try this place since tasting their food during the Taste of the Gaslamp a few months ago. Everything was so good. We sat in the bar at a high top, which is how we roll anyway. We shared the teriyaki filet tips, my husband had the crab cakes and I had the pan seared macadamia halibut, both exceptional as well as we shared the Mac and cheese as our side. We left so satisfied and full. No room for dessert this time, but definitely will return and try some other items but will try to sit outside to take in the whole downtown vibe!

    My husband and I love El Voila. It has been a while since our last visit but this visit was just as memorable. Valentines Day made even more special. I compared several Valentine menus before choosing this one. The menu was perfect.

    Fogo de Chao brought an amazing experience for me and my loved one this Valentine’s Day! It was amazing and I appreciate the fast, adequate service that they provided. Quick tip: Always make a reservation as you may never know the volume and crowd in the restaurant, it’ll help you out a ton! Different types of food with a beautiful vibe. They definitely treated us well and we would definitely go back again!

    My boyfriend and I came for an early Valentine’s Day dinner and we got a sangria and Old fashioneds which were great!!The food was AMAZING. The Parker house rolls, the mussels, the steaks 🤌🏼 The only negative thing I have to say is that because we had a later reservation (10:00) we felt pretty rushed to order our food, thus feeling rushed to leave. It didn’t negatively affect our experience too much because the food was so bomb but definitely expected a higher level of service (minus the bussers and food runners who were friendly and great).
