Visited the newly remodeled Fogo on I-Drive two nights ago and it is absolutely gorgeous in there!…read more The service is top notch, from the waiters to the bar staff and even the valet attendants. Everyone is friendly and attentive. We had light apps and a few cocktails. I tried the Yellowbird and my wife had the far superior Summer Splash Martini which was a recommendation from the Sales Manager Alejandra. The martini was an absolute standout. The fresh and vibrant guava juice was so forward and complimented by the lemon juice. It was the perfect cocktail for a warm Florida night. Alejandra was so upbeat and friendly, she was able to give us pointers and details for holding gatherings in the new space. The remodel has made the whole location so inviting and classy. Well done Fogo!

We visited Fogo de Chão on Father's Day to celebrate with our three children and my husband…read more Unfortunately, our experience did not meet our expectations for a restaurant that charges around $70 per person. Because we did not have a reservation, we were seated outside, even though there appeared to be available tables inside the restaurant. We accepted that, but the service was disappointing from the start. Our server did not seem welcoming or interested in providing good service. He appeared unhappy to have our table, and his attitude made us feel like we were an obligation rather than valued guests. At this price point, excellent customer service should be a priority. While the food was acceptable, it was not exceptional enough to compensate for the poor service. Dining out is about more than just the food--it's about feeling welcome and cared for, especially during a special family celebration. Sadly, based on this experience, I would not recommend this location and do not feel the value matched the price we paid.

My friend is Brazilian, and she highly recommended we meet here in Windermere for lunch. I've been…read moreto various parts of Brazil with her over the years and she said the food here is as close as you can get to being in Brazil. She was definitely on the mark! The restaurant is open and spacious. The look is sleek and relaxing. Our waiter spoke both Portuguese and English and menus are available in both languages. (You may have to ask for an English menu.) My friend and I discussed the menu (it is huge!) and made recommendations as there are more options than you can imagine. She noted that everything here is fresh and that the Caipirinhas are made with real fruit juices. (Caipirinhas were my favorite drink of choice in Brazil and the ones made here are amazing!) I tried two of them - one made with coconut and lime and the other the traditional lime Caipirinha. The presentation of the coconut one was picture worthy (see pic) but maybe had too much ice as my glass was still half full of ice when I finished it. The lime one was superb! My friend ordered a virgin pineapple and mint mocktail and loved it. Although the prices seem a little high, you get plenty of food for the money. We took half of our meal home with us because we could not eat it all in one setting - and we only had an appetizer and an entree! I understand half orders can be placed so you may want to consider that as an option also. Now for the food! For the "appetizer" (it is huge!), we selected the Full Fritters Manolo Combo Special ($42). The dumplings consisted of 2 codfish, 2 shrimp with Brazilian creamy cheese, 2 black beans, 2 jerked beef and 2 short ribs. WOW!!! The fritters were amazing! They did not taste like dried-out fried fritters but were soft and moist and full of flavor! (See pic.) They were definitely a meal in themselves, and we took half of them home. What a savory mixture and an awesome way to start off my Brazilian food adventure! Fluffy pillows of happiness are how I would summarize these delicious fritters. My friend then recommended the Moqueca Capixaba for our entree. It was a velvety combination of mahi-mahi fish stew with shrimp, served with white rice and smooth fish yuca puree. She told me to place the puree on the side of the stew close to the rice as this puree is also a Brazilian delicacy. She was correct in all regards. What a delicious main course, and again, enough food to take home for additional enjoyment. Finally, the service was quite good. Our server was pleasant and although my friend and him conversed a lot in Portuguese, he also spoke English to make me feel comfortable as well. He even gave me a Boteco do Manolo rubber coaster as a small gift for my first time there. It definitely will not be my last visit! Obrigado, Boteco do Manolo, Obrigado!!

Fogo de Chao, who??? I would suggest to consider Rodizio…read moreGrill as an alternative since it is is very similar to Fogo where there is unlimited meats and open sides buffet. I was extremely impressed with their service as it's almost overwhelming because they keep coming over constantly with different meats until you turn your green place card over to red to signify that you are either done or taking a break from receiving more meat cuts. As a diner, it is a very good problem to have! Highlights: - plenty of tasty meat variety - unlimited side/salad bar - members receive birthday deal (sign up) - come hungry-prioritize protein -overwhelmingly quick service This location is near international Drive at a plaza known as The Point - great location if you are exploring the touristy regions and restaurants.

First time here and probably the last one, it's not because I didn't like, but will explain…read more Atmosphere it's nice, huge place! They offer complementary parking that's about 7 min walking (and could be hard to find spot as it's shared with a lot of places) The downside it's the price, in this price range you can go to other ones that offers better cuts as well as better items on salad buffet as carpaccio, smoked salmon, artichoke heart, etc. Because of the price and benefit would give 3 stars, but service was good so will give 4, but for the food 3 That's the downside, if they lowered their price or out premium cuts and premium items would be 5 Stars, but at this price range I don't recommend

They kept the table well supplied and checked in often without being overbearing. The only issue we had was with the chicken hearts. We specifically asked for them without garlic, but they still came out covered in a lot of garlic, so we couldn't really enjoy them. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was disappointing since we made the request in advance. Price-wise, it's about the same as Fogo de Chão. The food was good, but I don't think the overall selection is quite as extensive as what Fogo offers, especially when it comes to the variety at the market table and other extras. Overall, I'd come back for the quality of the meat and the service, but I'd like to see a little more attention to special requests and a broader selection to match the price.
