    We really enjoyed our meal. The menu options are “high and tight”, and they executed on the ones we ordered really well. We had the crispy potato starter, the salmon and pork chop entrees, and the chocolate ganache and panna cotta desserts. Would recommend all, especially the crispy potato.

    This is a dining experience. 5 stars for everything. We dined on a crowded Saturday night, realizing it would be busy, but the tables are spaced out perfectly so that you don’t hear everyone’s conversation. The food is simply exquisite. But the star of the evening was our server Ron. He truly delivered all you could want and need. He’s charming, knowledgeable, all the things you hope for. The master chef delivered! She got applause from me. Thank you Eddie V’s for showing us the perfect evening. 👏🏼

    My husband and I had a lovely time at Fogo de Chao, we had dinner around 8:45 on a Saturday, it took an extra 10~ min to find a table after our reservation time. But on a Saturday that is completely understandable. The experience was $60 per person, and I would say it was well worth the price. There were a few pieces of meat where it was just fat/gristle but they come around quite often so we were able to enjoy everything. The drinks were well priced and delicious. The staff was very helpful and observant.
