Today, my family of 12 celebrated Christmas dinner a day late at Fogo de Chão, and I felt compelled to share our wonderful experience. While several staff members assisted us throughout the evening, one exceptional individual truly stood out: Monica. Monica was more than just a waitress—she was an absolute gem. Her kindness and patience made us feel like we were guests in her own home. She interacted with us in such a genuine and thoughtful way, going above and beyond to ensure our evening was memorable. At one point, we asked if she could take a group photo for us. Not only did she gladly agree, but she first took the initiative to clear our plates, ensuring everything looked perfect. She then patiently took photos of us in multiple spots around the restaurant, making sure we had options to choose from. As a business owner myself, I can confidently say Monica exemplifies the ideal employee—someone who goes the extra mile with a smile and treats every guest with care and respect. Her dedication and warmth deserve recognition, and I sincerely hope her efforts don’t go unnoticed. Thank you, Monica, for making our family gathering even more special. You’re a beautiful soul, and a true credit to Fogo de Chão!

Service is phenomenal and very attentive. Definitely do reservations. My wife and I ordered, 2 entrees, 2 sides, 2 cocktails, 1 appetizer and a Silver Tier discount, total before tip came out to be $118. Cant beat that. Everything tasted amazing. You even get little mini samples of things to eat (for free), before, during, and after your meal. Can't wait to come back here for at least our 5th time now.

A very cool looking restaurant with perfect ambiance. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was pretty good too. I’d definitely return. Thank you.
