| - Been to so many Brazilian Steakhouses and this one has to be one of the top on my list..
Came here for lunch with a group of friends. I made reservations in advance (open table!). Moment we sat down, server introduced and took our drink order. We were asked if we had been here before. We were shown the salad bar. I love how each person would have their own little "More/Stop" meat service tab. Most places would have just one tab for the table. Very efficient. Lets start with the salad bar, big selection. Things that stood out to me was the cheese and salami treats. I get suckered into that.
We came as soon as they opened so I believe that most of the meat was still cooking, but once we came back from the salad bar.. It's on! Endless meat and quite a selection. I found their signature (picanha) was amazing; moist and tender packed with flavor. Most Brazilian Steakhouses carry the same common meats, but Fogo had a parmesan pork loin (lamb). I was in for a treat! Sadly, I could not eat a lot. The table also had additional side item such as caramelized banana and polenta. It was across the table from me and I could not reach it. We each got a dessert. I went for the turtle cheesecake. Suck when it comes to cheesecake. I felt that I picked a solid choice. When it arrived, lots of caramel. Smothered it in, and as a nice display, a little orchid next to it. Amazing! after my first bite.
The service of course was superb! Most of the meat are well marinated and packed full of flavor of course made me thirsty. I went through plenty of water, luckily our server was on top and made it endless for me. I am amazed that they were able to provide such service even when the place was getting a lunch rush. Lots of places fall short when it comes to the front house, but they got it down here! The atmosphere here is a little dim, more of the "special occasion" type. Not too loud. Square and round tables available. Nice little display on the way in (Rack of meat on a fire pit).
Def will come back. I just have to build up a better appitite for next time.
