Fogo de Chao 
Brazilian Steakhouse


The atmosphere of this restaurant was outstanding, but your wallet may hurt by the evening's end. Exquisite side dishes including pão de queijo (warm cheese bread), crispy hot polenta, garlic mashed potatoes and caramelized bananas are tempting but be sure to save room for the 15 different types of meat. My favorite meats were the Filet Mignon and the Alcatra (top sirloin), but the Cordeiro (lamb) and Linguica (sausage) earn honorable mentions. 


The staff at Fogo de Chao are impeccable, be sure to flip your card from green to red or you'll quickly end up with a plate towering with meat. If you want to save an extra $7, decline the 'spring water' and stick with regular ice water. Also beware the salad bar, as it may fill you up before you have a chance to explore the different types of meats. 

If you find yourself at meals end with some spare room, try Fogo de Chao's gourmet desserts.


We were surprised with a Tres Leches which was amazing, but we could hardly walk out of the door after it was gone. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience as a whole. For $47.50 person, you get what you pay for but be sure to arrive hungry.
