Underwhelming and over-priced.
Mrs. Wanderer became a fan of churrasco, Brazilian barbecue after eating at the outstanding Via Brasil in Vegas last year so we popped in Fogo de Chao to see how they compared. Answer: not favorably.
The best thing about this place is the physical appearance of the restaurant but it's all downhill from there. Two star food, one star service and a four star price.
The salad bar was just okay but really nothing to get excited about. We were much more interested in the meat courses than messing around so after a perfunctory pass at the antipasti we had the waiter clear our plates and waited for the meat to begin.
And waited. And waited some more. Waiter after waiter walked by us, huge spear of meat in hand, head down, studiously ignoring us. We finally managed to flag one down by literally, yelling. We didn't know what else to do since we'd been waiting at least ten minutes for somebody to serve us and we were hungry.
We finally got some meat and it was fine but then the same thing happened on the next course. For the next hour we played this game where the waiters would walk by us doing their best to avoid eye contact and we'd try to intercept them. It's very hard to avoid concluding that they are really not that keen on giving you meat here which kind of negates the point of being a churrascaria.
The three sides were all mediocre and unmemorable: soggy microwaved bananas, mashed potatos and fried polenta wedges.
For this kind of money, I'd much rather eat at Ruth's Chris or Morton's.
