We've been to this restaurant twice and it's always been a night to remember. The first time was just the two of us for our anniversary; the second time was with both of our families, with about ten people. Both times offered great meals, fine spirits and perfect service.
What separates Fogo de Chao? First off, they specialize in flawless service. They have so many staff members on duty, you never want for anything.
Second, this is not just a meat extravaganza; their salad bar is out of this world, with every fruit and vegetable imaginable. Be sure to try some of the exotics, like the marinated artichoke hearts, hearts of palm and the wonderful cheeses. My wife is a vegetarian and my mother is on a special diet, so they especially go wild over the salad bar.
Third, the main meal is fabulous, with not only the grilled meats being perfect, but the side dishes are just amazing. Mashed potatoes, fried plantains and polenta -- yum!
Finally, it's just really the atmosphere and ambiance: fancy and comfortable, without being overbearing or snooty.
If you want to treat someone or celebrate a special event, this is really a great place to do it. Our parents still talk about the time we treated them to a meal at Fogo de Chao! It's really quite an experience.
