   We hosted a corporate dinner for 15 people at this location. The food was very good and service was quick. Due to the open environment of the restaurant, it did feel cramped and it was hard for us to hear each other as it was rather noisy. The only thing that I would say was a poor mark on the service was the fact that it took a long time to get our check at the end. We had to chase it a few times. Overall, though-great experience!!

   I am trying to visit all of this restaurant’s outlets, let’s see so far I’ve been to the one in Atlanta Miami San Jose Beverly Hills and of course San Francisco,several times. Did I mention that this is our Favorite Restaurant in the whole wide World!!!!! My brother visited one in Brazil and said it was “The Most Incredible dinning experience EVER “ Can’t wait to experience this for myself. We live in Northern California and we have to drive 2 hours to get to you. It is rumored that you will be opening more restaurants in the Bay Area . Please consider opening one , maybe in Sacramento (El Dorado Hills maybe) we have the population and economic base to sustain a Fogo De Choa in the North…..

   Nice dinner with the family for Mother’s Day. Food was good. They ran out of pineapple, papaya, rice and beans very often and took them a little bit to replenish. Rest was fine.

   Super crowded on Mother’s Day, with a long line out the door waiting for over half an hour to get seated - even with reservations. The restaurant should have planned this better. Once seated, the salad bar was clearly picked over and it was slow to get refilled with fresh food. I like the food here, but was disappointed in this poor planning.

   The server stopped by my table 3 times. I had three slices of meat for the price of +$70. This was the worst experience I have ever had. They decided to give me a $25 gift card for their terrible service as if I would ever go back to this restaurant.

   First bad experience here. Had only about 3 cuts of meat come around when usually there is a variety. Also took forever for anyone to even come to our table.

   Not all Fogo locations are equal. We have been frequenting Fogo for many years. This is our first at the San Francisco.venue. We go for the Lamb Chops and the beef ribs. After multiple requests and waiting 20-30 minutes our orders were delivered. The results were the Lamb chops way too salty and the beef ribs were the bottom of barrel. We like them served on the big bone. We were told not available. The Salad bar was fine. Caution urged. Very nice waiters. Disappointed in the result.

    Overall, it was a good experience. The steak cuts were good and the grilled cheddar cheese with honey was amazing. The house drinks are reasonably priced and good. the only thing I found lacking was the salad bar. It could have been the dark lighting but it was not appealing as other Brazilian restaurants. The selection seemed limited. Now, the desserts were amazing! The Flan and Tres Leches were huge and could have easily been shared with 2 or 3.

    As always, we fulfilled our meat cravings at Fogo. The service was quite attentive, especially William. Our only complaint is that, in San Francisco, they do not serve the grilled pineapple that we have enjoyed at other Fogo locations.

    I have been to lots of Brazilian steak houses and this one was the worst. We probably got 6 prices of meat, they never really came around. I also told them we were celebrating a bday and nothing was done. The quality of the meat does not match the standard. I recommend going to espetus.

    What a terrible place! I will never go there again. The waiter was horrendously bad; the bartender apparently didn’t know the difference between a dirty martini and an extra dry martini with a lemon twist. And the meat was so horribly salty that I almost couldn’t eat it. And the prices? Unbelievably high. Do NOT go there.

    I’ve been to many FDC from NYC, São Paolo, Florida , calif Philadelphia Chicago. The food is consistently excellent as is the decor snd usually the service. Last night was a business dinner and introducing a newcomer to FDC. We stayed at the beginning of the meal when asked if we had any specific preferences we asked for beef ribs snd baby rack lambert chops. Over the course of two hours we asked the various waiters for both items no less than 7 times before we finally got them. The cheesy poofs were excellent.

    Salad bar is a meal in itself, lots of interesting protein and veggies. The all you can eat Brazilian steak carved at the table is tasty. Great value if you have skipped the last 2 meals or plan to overeat. Not such a great value if you eat lightly. The outdoor space is well protected from busy 3rd St.

    Great Food, Great Service , & Excellent Experience. We came in for dinner. Had a late reservation for 8:30pm and was amazed with the service even at that hour for a weeknight. Although towards the end of the night service wise seemed to dissipate while we were still eating and wanting more but other than that we had a great time and will definitely be coming back again!

    A reservation was made for father’s birthday celebration. We arrived 15 minutes early to check in, however, the hostess said there was a wait despite our reservation. [Side note- the hostess did not look out together. Not a great look for the place. And she had quite the attitude]. We eventually sat at our table. The server was nice but she was obviously overbooked with tables. Our alcoholic beverages never made it to our table with the exception of one tap beer she personally went to serve at the bar. When she returned to our table, the server notified us it would be another 10 to 15 minutes to get our cocktails— we had already been dining for well over half an hour. Despite having our green cards facing upwards, we had to flag the servers to hand us meat or else we wouldn’t even get the whole “experience”. In addition, we never received the extra bread we asked for. It was quite a sad experience for my father’s birthday but we tried to make the best of it.

    I made reservation for 8:30, when arrived on time I was greeted with the front desk lady who was not at all welcoming. Despite the reservation I had to wait 40+ minutes to be seated. Finally when I got a table, the table was so unbalanced that it was very hard to eat without table shaking. The waiter said there are no other tables available except outside which was very cold. And throughout the dinner hardly got the waiter’s attention till the bill time. The food was fine, will recommend rib eye which was fantastic.

    My husband and I were out in SF to celebrate his birthday and we decided to try out Fogo de Chao. We were able to reserve a table for 7:15pm. When we arrived at 7:15pm, we had to wait for 15 mins since our table wasn’t ready yet. Once we were seated, it turned out that our table was right by the outdoor dinning door so every time the door open we would get a breeze. I was in a sweater so it didn’t really bother me, but if I was in a dress like many of the other patrons then this would have been a horrible spot. The food came quickly and some of the meats were delicious, but I think Espetus in San Mateo is much better. When we went over to the salad/side bar there wasn’t much either. This place isn’t bad if you want Brazilian steak house in the city, but if you’re ever closer to San Mateo I would highly recommend Espetus.

    I called ahead to make sure the host communicated to wait staff that it was a birthday and to do a dessert/candle happy birthday surprise. They forgot, and when I snuck away to tell the waitstaff, I used the bathroom…came back…and the Candle lit dessert was already on the table. Way to blow a special moment. - got seated 30 mins later than reservation - reserved outside seating, was seated inside I walked away feeling like I wasted a Friday night.

    The food was very nice and tasty, but we found the service quite messy. We had to ask for the types of meat that we had not had several times. Since they did not have more than 3 white wines out of quite a large wine list it took a long time to get the wine. It was an OK experience but will choose something else next time.
