   Experience was good, but they need to do better with the meat quality that they serve to the guests. I prefer my meat to be medium rare and most of the meat that came to our table was medium well which was really hard to eat. Towards the end of my meal, one of the servers asked us if there was a particular meat we wanted and we asked for medium rare filet mignon. We waited about 20 mins and the meat still came out medium well so I didn’t even finish it. The cheese breads were also a little too hard to bite. They used to make it soft and it would come out warm, but it seemed like this time, the breads were stale. Overall, service was great, but the meat needs to be cooked better to cater to all kinds of people’s tastes.

   Meat had no taste, over cooked. Waited long for the next cut to show and the servings were small. Salad bar was better than the meats.

   We usually really love Fogo de Chao. We’ve been here several times. Tonight we went for my birthday and in 45 min we only had 3 types of meat come out. It was crazy, we usually have so many more options and variety. We still left happy with our experience and will return, just disappointed this one time

   The charcoal BBQ was fantastic. This location specifically had really well seasoned meat that was cooked to my liking. Alex was an excellent server.

   The quality of the food is excellent as always. However, some of the cuts of meat previously brought to your table are no longer available. Importantly, half of our waiters could not speak enough English to explain what kind of meat they were offering.

    The service was excellent. The only thing that could have improved was the selection of meats coming around. We were sitting in the patio area in the very corner and all the Gauchos didn’t make it over. We still left stuffed and the food was very good.
