Went for a friends birthday private party recently and it was phenomenal. We knew they we would come back and we did for our anniversary. Today, we went for brunch and it was spectacular. The food great, atmosphere welcoming and comfortable but the greatest thing was the service! We had Fran, and she was incredibly attentive- but other servers would check in on us, clearing, bringing fresh food or drinks and just making sure we had everything we needed. It clearly was a young staff, but a well managed, well trained staff and clearly a staff with great leadership and work ethic to look up to. Kudos to Eric the manager and the entire leadership/ownership… I can promise you my family and I will be back.

My wife and I returned once again to this beautiful establishment! Tonight’s star of the show who was absolutely perfect was Esmeralda. It’s our anniversary night and she went above and beyond to make us feel at home and welcomed. From recommending and providing wines and frequently checking on us to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. She even got us items we wanted from the “experience” personally to make sure we got our cravings in! Lol. These are the type of people who ensure guests return just on their personality and customer service alone! Fogo de Chão you’re lucky to have her! See you guys again soon. Once again thank you to Esmeralda for making this night that much more special.

Usually, chain restaurants aren’t the best, but Fogo has been pretty consistent. I’ve visited their branch near the MoMA museum, bear in mind that it was more expensive there than the one here. It serves up Brazilian classics and their $51 mixed grill is worth the deal if you’re bulking for protein. Only complaint is the lack of a complimentary chimmichurri or a good Brazilian sauce to dip in. Steak lacked a bit of seasoning even on the crust and sometimes the meat were inconsistent. Some blue rare, but most cooked to medium. If you’re not a meat eater, a fish fan fare dish would be the sea bass. Keep in mind we forgot to take pictures half way. But great restaurant, meat could be more consistent. Well priced.

Update: We returned on 7/6 to give it another shot, and the experience was markedly different. Maybe because we were in the main dining room this time, and maybe because the manager, Ricardo, was cruising the floor visiting all the tables periodically. In any case, our main servers Jesse and Maria made sure we weren't lacking anything to round out our experience. My guest who had never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, absolutely loved it. I chose this place over the other even though it was a little farther because the atmosphere snd layout here was better to begin with. The gauchos came around regularly and were more open and sociable than last time. The food is still great, and the service this time around really complemented it. ____________________ Lots of parking. Clean and nicely appointed inside. Good layout, good spacing between tables. This allows the servers to move around better and get to you, unlike that other place. The meat is well prepared, the self-serve cold bar has a great selection, and the waffle/(breakfast?) station is a nice touch. Everything would have been perfect except for the same shortcoming as the other place. The green/red cards mean nothing. No one checks that. You even make eye contact with the gauchos, give a nod, and they just have this glazed look in their eyes and turn the other way. Same as the other place, they just stop coming around. Good thing our server was attentive. We were also in the private room, so our ambiance may have been a bit muted compared to the main dining area. It was nice.

We came here to for my son’s 13th birthday…with a group of 16 pre-teen and teenagers it’s a daunting task for any restaurant and its serving staff. Much to our surprise, Natalia, Marvin and Adrian were the A-Team. They were attentive, friendly and accommodating. Having been to a few other FdC locations, this is one of the better stores. All the meats were perfectly grilled and delicious. Please bring your family here and you won’t be disappointed.

Our waiter tonight was Alexandro at the Huntington Station. They said it was his second night. But how is that possible? Alexandro was so good so knowledgeable so accommodating he has to be a waiter affiliated with the Fogo de Chao enterprise for years. He anticipated our every need. He recommended the wagyu porterhouse steak special, an amazing Malbec and our dessert. He was warm and helpful and our meal was incredible! Wine buffet service was exemplar. Will come again and again.

My server Alan gave my party and I the greatest service we have ever received in our life. This young man was extremely polite and was constantly attentive to our table, I hope he is our server every time we come here. He is funny, smart and most of all the best employee here. I will definitely be coming back here. Tell Erick the manager to this man a raise right now.

Jesse was amazing! He is very friendly and professional. Not only did he go above and beyond for us, but went the extra mile to make sure our food was great and we always have drinks ready.
