Kids five and under are free and I think 12 and under are half price. If you work for the state and show your state IS you get 20% off. Service was friendly and attentive. Bathrooms were spacious and clean as well as ADA compliant. The salad bar had many choices and my favorite items were the plantains and the cheese bread. The meat overall was average. Some too salty and some cuts were chewy and could have been seasoned more or less. There is a parking structure nearby that would be cheaper than parking on the street.

I always choose this place because its a little spendy for me. We made reservations this time for 1130. They ONLY service lunch on Fridays. Otherwise, it is dinner only here. Lunch has increased to $48.00 vs. the thirty something I used to remember. Our server Luiz was very nice and everything was great. The beef Pichana is my favorite. Very tender and flavorful. Sausage was the only lack luster item. They had fried bananas and cheese rolls that I don't remember them having before. Since I told him it was my birthday, I got a free dessert and chose the cheesecake. I asked for a container to take the leftover 3 cheese rolls that were still on the table and knew would be thrown away. He not only came back out with a container, but added 6 additional rolls for me to take home that I thought was a very nice touch. Our bill came to $500 after tip for the 7 of us so it was not a cheap meal by any means and we all stopped before we went into food coma so they made their money but its a family business and not one of those chains so that is A-okay. See you next year Foga! I had a lovely lunch.

The service was outstanding from start to finish , they were very attentive, friendly, and always making sure our table was taken care of. The steaks were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor, and the lamb was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I couldn't take pictures right away because everything looked so good and tasted even better, we just dove right in! Everyone was great but a special shoutout to Victor for providing exceptional service and making our dining experience even more enjoyable. His friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail really stood out. If you're looking for great service and high-quality meats, this place definitely delivers. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

OK, you're going to drop $200 on dinner for two. BUT you're going to have the best dinner of your…read morelife. I did. We've never done a Brazilian steakhouse, so we had to learn the schtick. You first go to the salad bar, which is a meal in itself, and a delicious one. I would not be exaggerating to refer to every item in it as a delicacy - and it's all you can eat! But you don't want to eat too much of it, because what comes next is better. Waiters start coming to your table with skewers of meat - chicken, pork, and beef - lots of beef -that have just come from a rotisserie in the kitchen. They cut off slices for you, and they keep cutting them off until you tell them to stop. And they have sixteen different kinds of meat so a different waiter shows up at your table every couple of minutes with a different skewer. I have never said this about a restaurant before, but everything I ate was delicious. Not just good, but roll your eyes up in your head and moan out loud good. And the service was fantastic. They didn't just wait on us, they doted on us. Needless to say, I give thus unpronounceable Brazilian restaurant my highest recommendation.

Came in for date night and had a wonderful experience. Instead of the traditional Brazilian…read moresteakhouse service, we opted to order à la carte and shared the tomahawk steak. It was the perfect size for two and cooked beautifully--tender, flavorful, and presented perfectly. To complete the meal, we added several items from the marketplace, including fresh vegetables and sides that paired wonderfully with the steak. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and made for a satisfying dinner without feeling overly heavy. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, making it a great spot for date night or a special occasion. Service was attentive, and we never felt rushed. If you're not looking for the full Brazilian steakhouse experience, ordering the tomahawk à la carte with a few marketplace selections is a fantastic option. We'll definitely be back for another date night!

Belgian waffle was huge and tasted like dessert for breakfast, fruit was fresh and butter and whipped cream both was creamy and nicely whipped. Nice waffle. The ricotta pancakes were huge.

Chicken sandwich was flavorful with the most amazing aoili which was slightly sweet and rich at same time. Served with freah chips. Streak and frites was the only knock. I had the steak medium but still a bit tough and not as tender as expected. But the eggs and fries made up for it. I had eggs scrambled and it was fluffy. The shoestring fries were crispy and yum!

Feedback Summary: Service & Process Optimization Overall Impression The Good: The food quality is excellent and stands out as a major highlight. The Opportunity: The current staffing model, pacing, and table management are falling short of expectations, leaving guests feeling overlooked and detracting from the overall dining experience. Key Areas for Improvement Table Attentiveness & Flow of Service Observation: The service lacked a natural cadence or proactive checkpoints. There were no routine visits to check on the dining experience, refresh drinks, or see if the table needed anything, which ultimately made the table feel neglected. Recommendation: Implement structured touchpoints throughout the meal (e.g., a check-in after the first few cuts of meat are served) to ensure guests feel looked after. Section Staffing Limitations Observation: Assigning only one server per section created noticeable delays. When that primary server was occupied, neighboring tables were left waiting without any cross-coverage from other staff. Recommendation: Consider a team-service model or assigning dedicated assistants to support section leads during peak hours so tables are never marooned. Rodizio / Meat Service Pacing Observation: The rotation of staff carrying meats through the entire dining area was too slow, leading to long gaps between servings. Recommendation: Optimize the floor routing. Dividing the dining room into smaller, dedicated zones for the meat carvers could ensure hotter food and more frequent tableside visits.

The lone worker offered to substitute it with ham or bacon, but I did not want either. - The avocado toast was heavy on the onion and overall just "meh" to me. - We got there at a good time when it was empty. However, it soon got very busy with a long wait. Customers started walking out because only one person was working, when she disappeared in the back for a good while to make our food. (We had to wait a bit while she took care of a couple drink orders, but we were in no rush.) I also got the popular Moreno (iced for me), which was pretty chocolaty. I give it 3 stars personally. Service was fine, and she did the best she could being the only person working. As far as ambiance, there were two two-seater tables inside and a couple more outside, but it was too cold to eat outdoors on our visit. Despite the not so great first impression, I'd be willing to try their other location in the future.
