Service was excellent and the gauchos so pleasant and attentive adding to the wonderful experience. Meal started with their market table/salad bar with a very good selection including smoked salmon, prosciutto, hearts of palm, salami, cheeses, artichokes, Brussel sprouts, Mac n Cheese, Black Beans, Rice, soup and more in addition to standard salad bar staples. Fogo de Chao's market table is much larger but this was more than adequate. Meats included filet, picahna, garlic sirloin, chicken, lamb chops, pork loin, spare ribs, shrimp, ribeye, and more but you can only eat so much without bursting open! I definitely prefer Passador over Fogo for the ambience, service, and quality of the meats which also weren't as heavily salted as Fogo. Table shared items included cheese rolls, fried plantain, mashed mashed potatoes and cornbread though the cornbread was hard and dry (a hard pass). Overall a great experience I would definitely recommend if you're in a carnivorous mood!

Love this place so much and hate to give them a bad review, but during our most recent visit we…read morewere quite thrown off by comments made by our server. First, we got the feeling the server was over eager to sell us a bottle of wine. My partner doesn't drink, so he opted for water and I opted for a half bottle. It was a bit pushy, but we payed it no mind. Once brought out and poured, I moved the bottle further as to not accidentally knock it over and I guess by habit closed the bottle, then proceeded to the salad bar. The server came to find me in line to ask why I've moved the bottle, then proceeded to tell me that the wine needs to breathe so he'll re-open the bottle. Personally didn't need a lecture on how wine needs to breathe, I'm well aware, nor do I find it appropriate to chase me down in line over it, but okay I let it go as well and thanked him for his help. Everything else was great, until the check came. I guess there was an issue with the card we used and different server very discretely brought it to our attention. Of course we're embarrassed, but grateful for the discreetness. Mind you, we've been here many times and have never had any issues before, just inadvertently gave an old card. I grabbed my purse to provide a different card and the initial server decided to comment loudly to my partner something about where'd you get lucky enough to find her as if to say women don't pay. I was shocked and mortified! At that point I simply replied that it all comes out of the same accounts anyway, just a different name on the card. The comment was well beyond inappropriate, brought attention unnecessarily, and was absolutely unwarranted. At least we've been together for more than a decade, I can't even imagine if this was someone's first date! We didn't need to offer an explanation, but at that point we just wanted to be done and get out as quickly as possible. We'll likely dine here again, but definitely hope we never come across this particular server again.

My service at the server attending my table is normally very polite and very attentive. This time it was different. Asya had been somewhat attentive, but as the evening progressed and after being assigned another table next to mine with about 12 people, she no longer attended my TABLE frequently. At the end of the meal, I had four rolls left over and when I asked if I could bring them home, you would've thought that I was asking for a entire steak to take home, but I was not! I asked the general manager I believe his name was JP and he said that he could allow that. While, I understand their policy of not taking out food. I do not understand such a commotion being created over for dinner roles. Her exact quote was "going forward, we will not allow you to take the rolls home" While a simple "no" would've sufficed and I would've accepted it, I believe that the tone that the response was delivered was inappropriate. This tone carried out throughout the rest of the evening to dessert. Even though I was full, I did order dessert to take home. When I paid the bill I was not even thanked for dining there or asked to return . Before leaving I brought it to her attention that I have never left this restaurant without the server thanking me for dining there. She explained to me that she normally tell patrons as they are leaving "see you next time." I explained to her that see you next time was NOT the same as a "Thank you for dining here! "I also brought this to the attention of the general manager before I left. I explained to him that I left her a full tip even though I did not feel she earned it BECAUSE I had hoped that the tips get divided amongst the entire crew serving my table. I'm giving a rating of three rather than one because the highlight of my evening, definitely offset this bad experience. This was due to a very polite and very attentive Jardel, who always came with a smile and was very conscientious about me receiving the meat medium, rare as I requested! I probably will consider another location as I like to dine at Brazilian steakhouses and normally the service is impeccable!

My fiancé and I recently visited this restaurant for the first time, and unfortunately, our…read moreexperience did not meet our expectations, especially compared to other Brazilian steakhouses we have visited. Upon arrival on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was noticeably quiet, which initially raised some concerns but did not deter us from giving it a try. After being seated, we were directed to the salad and sides bar. Several items appeared as though they had been sitting out for an extended period. The hot items were lukewarm to cold, and many of the cold items looked picked over and were not replenished during our visit. Service was also slower than expected. After returning to our table, we waited approximately 15 minutes before our server returned to take our drink order. When she did, I ordered a sweet tea and water. After some confusion regarding the order, we were informed that the only water option available was a 1-liter bottled water for $7. While we agreed to it, the price felt excessive, especially considering the retail cost of the same product. The sweet tea was particularly disappointing. It appeared as though it had been sitting in a pitcher of melting ice for hours. The tea was so diluted that it was nearly transparent, and I could literally see through it. It lacked both the color and flavor you would typically expect from freshly prepared sweet tea. The dining experience itself was inconsistent. Some meats were served hot while others arrived noticeably cooler. Several cuts appeared to have been sitting for an extended period before being served, and many lacked seasoning. The chimichurri sauce provided the majority of the flavor. Additionally, there were lengthy gaps--often 15 to 20 minutes--between visits from the gauchos, and the same cuts of meat were brought repeatedly. One of the more surprising aspects of our visit was learning that several advertised meat selections were unavailable. After being asked which meat we would like to try next--a question we have never been asked at other Brazilian steakhouses--we were informed that, despite advertising 14 meats, only four red meat options and lamb chops were available that evening. This was disappointing given the expectation of variety that comes with this style of dining. The lamb chops had a strong gamey flavor, and the shrimp offering was relatively basic, consisting of cooked shrimp with seasoning sprinkled on top. To conclude the evening, we were surprised to find that our final bill exceeded what we typically pay at other Brazilian steakhouses that offer a larger selection, fresher food, and more attentive service. Paying a premium price would be understandable if the quality, service, and variety justified it, but that was not our experience. This review reflects only our personal experience during our visit. Unfortunately, based on the condition of the food bar, the quality and consistency of the meats, the slow service, the limited selection, and the overall value for the price, we would not choose to return. Based on our visit, I am genuinely surprised by the restaurant's 4.5-star rating. Everyone's experience may differ, but the food quality, service, overall ambiance, and value we encountered did not reflect what I would expect from a restaurant with such highly rated reviews. Between the condition of the food bar, the inconsistent quality of the meats, the extended wait times, the limited selection available, and the overall dining experience, the rating did not align with what we experienced as first-time guests.

I was curious about their tea, but there was a winter combo at the time that caught my eye more. I got their hot chocolate, traditional beef empanada, and bulgogi BBQ empanada. It was my first time having such a flaky empanada. The dough is nice and tasted good, I like that it's baked instead of fried, which I'm more used to. Out of both the empanadas I got, I would recommend the traditional beef because of the unexpected raisins that worked pretty well with the beef filling. The bulgogi was alright. The meat itself was a bit dry but the BBQ sauce helped with that. The hot chocolate was milky and great for the cold weather. Next to ordering, there's a fridge for bottled drinks and chilled empanadas. At the time, they only had beef and bulgogi, but I think it's cool that you can bake them at home at a later time. Since Sweet Octopus and Empanada House are in the same building, they seem to share seating space and the bathroom, which is on the lower floor. Food comes out fast and makes for a nice quick bite. There's one empanada that's for vegetarians, though I'm not sure if they don't use eggs for the dough, so vegans should check on that. Sweet empanadas sound good, and if I were to come again, I'd prob get one to try.

We've always enjoyed this restaurant for the ambiance food & service and occasionally came…read morespecifically for their foie gras, so we were disappointed to learn it was removed from the menu just last week. Still, we decided to stay and have dinner. We had a 6:30 reservation but arrived 10-15 minutes early and were seated right away since the dining room had plenty of open tables. We ordered oysters, ceviche, and soup to start -- all three appetizers were brought out at the same time without checking if we preferred them staggered. The oysters were fresh and the soup tasted good, but the ceviche was just okay. The bigger issue was the wine service. We ordered a bottle of white wine to enjoy with our seafood, but waited nearly 30 minutes with all the appetizers already on the table and still no wine. We had to ask multiple times before it finally arrived -- and unfortunately it was room temperature. They told us it was their last bottle and needed 15-20 minutes to chill it on ice. Since our food was already getting warm on the table, we asked for a different chilled bottle, but that too took a long time to come out. By the time we finally had wine, it had been about 40 minutes since we were seated. Service continued to slip. A buss boy arrived carrying entrées for the wrong table, trying to make room on our already full table of empty appetizer plates. This created more confusion before our actual dishes -- a rack of lamb and sides -- eventually arrived. The food itself was good, but the overall experience was disappointing. Even at the end, our wine glasses were empty and our server walked past without checking the bottle or refilling them. We had to ask him to please check our bottle and pour the remaining wine. For a restaurant with premium pricing and a long-standing reputation, we expected far better service and attention to detail. The staff felt untrained and unorganized throughout the evening. The manager did come by after we'd already paid and offered dessert on the house, which we appreciated, but at that point we were no longer in the mood. Unfortunately, based on this visit, we won't be returning. I hope this constructive feedback helps them improve, because the food deserves service that matches the price point and reputation.

This time, I brought my friend who has never had Korean bbq before for her to try. We went right when it opened so it was quiet. I told the server it was her first time and he was eager to explain everything to her. I don't think she was prepared at all what was about to grace our table He brought out a cart full of side dishes and start to explain what each one is along with the flavor profile. When he got to the scallion salad, she was just not loving it, but he told her to at least try and see what she thinks (don't knock it til you try it!) Then he said they're still getting the charcoal ready so it'll be a few more minutes and my friend's eyes just (like what?) So we start with trying a bite of all the sides. She enjoyed everything except the sliced onion salad. Surprisingly, she loved everything else, including the scallion salad! She's a texture eater, so I was weary of her trying the tofu, but she really enjoyed that too! So... the charcoal comes out, and she's just Then the server brings the grill with the cheesy corn, spicy bean sprout, and he poured in the eggs. Followed by the meats! Since she didn't really know what she likes, I made a few suggestions and the server suggests letting him bring us the most popular items first and we can work our way through the menu. What a great idea!! Started with brisket and ribeye and wow ... meats were fresh, paired with the sides, and the dipping sauces, it's just chef's kiss!! We then had bulgogi and pork belly and those were just bursting with flavor! The cheesy corn was good but burned too fast on the grill, the spicy bean sprouts are amazing, and the steam egg is my favorite . The only downside is that if you don't eat those sides that are cooking on the grill right away they'll turn dry and burned and it won't be as good. The cheesy corn also caused some splattering to our hands when we were cooking the meats. The server apologized for the oil splattering since he heard the squeal immediately soak up the oil from the cheesy corn so the splattering would stop. Overall, my friend gave it 10/10!!!
