We've had something similar at a "Mongolian" bbq joint down in Florida and it wasn't all that great. So the wife I don't think had high expectations. I was looking forward to this meaty delight as I'd heard good things. Arizona Restaurant week provided a good opportunity to get out and sample this fine establishment.
As it turns out...this is what I was seeking. The service by the staff that puts the food in front of you was great. As we grabbed a table at the bar waiting for our buzzer to buzz in less than a minute we had a basket of cheese stuffed bread in front of us. It was good.
The salad bar was good also. Tried to go light on that to save room for the delightful meet onslaught that was to occur in the near future. Notables were the potato, chicken, and apple salads. All very good.
Now...flip the card over from red to green..and the staff that are running around every few minutes with different cuts of meats will drop by your table and ask you if you want some of what they're carrying. It's an awesome site...seeing multiple filets skewered and getting hunks sliced off from whichever ones are cooked to your preference. ...and let us not forget about the bacon wrapped fillet pieces also. Some of the most flavorful things you will ever taste. My wife isn't as much of a steak person as I am and she loved them. The bacon-wrapped chicken was very good also. The lamb also, very tasty.
The dessert was good also. Wife had what was a pretty good piece of cheesecake if I recall correctly. My key lime pie was also pretty good (not the best key lime I've had...but pretty good).
The "bad": This could've been 5 stars. There were 2 things that kept it from being so (one that bugged me more than my wife, and the other that really irked her and bugged me a little too).
1. The AZ Restaurant week ad for this says "During restaurant week guests will also choose from a selection of 12 decadent desserts." for the 3rd course. We were given a choice of 3. Cheesecake, Key LIme Pie, or a Chocolate cake. I'm always irritated by false advertising.
2. The service was spectacular by all of the chefs. It was great in general, until it was time for the bill. We were beginning to wonder if they wanted us to eat for free. We were waiting for over 15 minutes since they cleared our table for the bill. At least 10-15 after someone had told us they would check on our bill.
So Fogo...you almost had 5 stars. I cannot complain about the food though and the service in getting it to our table. That part of it was great.
