I've been to the other one once or twice and to Texas De Brazil, many times, over the years. But this one is my favorite!!! The service is excellent! From the front door with the hostess and every server we encountered; everyone was checking on us, with regards to our overall dining experience, our meat preference, taking away dirty plates, giving us new ones, refilling our drinks, and getting side dishes- bananas, polenta (yummy!), mashed potatoes, bread (they all help each other out).
I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The lobby is smaller than the other one (Flamingo/ Paradise), but there is a single soft bench for waiting customers. The bar is to the immediate right as you leave the lobby. I loved the beautiful wood (it is a caramel hue) that was carried out throughout the restaurant floor with the trees in the middle of the food stations. The same wood is used in the bathrooms (very elegant, clean, too). Unlike the other one, there is outdoor seating.
We had my birthday promotion to use (before it expired 12/22) on saturday (12/16/17- Side Bar/ quick shout-out to my mom who turned 81 on this day!) for lunch, so we (my husband, my son, and I) got here early. Not much of a crowd, maybe five other parties, besides us. Our little picky eater loves his meat. He kept saying yes, to everything meat-wise (sausage, chicken, pork, beef, salami, proscuitto, etc.) Hubby loved it. (I noticed after the 1st visit to Fogo, that the meat is not as salty as compared to TDB.) My favorite cut of meat, here was the bottom round, similar to Flank Steak (my fave at TDB). Hubby loved the Filet Mignon.
Here were my favorites from the salad bar: the croutons (these were so buttery, oh my gosh, they were excellent), the meat and potato hash, butternut squash soup, assorted cheeses, smoked salmon with capers (this was excellent!), asparagus, roasted peppers, dragon fruit (*had to ask what it was*), and mixed fruit (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and black berries). It is smaller than TDB, but the quality is excellent. I might be missing a few other things, but this is from memory.
For my birthday, we got to share a complimentary dessert, Tres Leches cake, and it was delicious!!!
(I prefer to come for lunch since we can walk around the shopping center a bit. I didn't overdo it. It's taken a few years, but I am applying the 80/20 rule. I don't like being overstuffed, so it's insurance, because I don't want to have a bad night.)
Also, there is Happy Hour promotions (bar only). We will come back, as we are big fans.
