   Rice was raw and cheese bread was old and hard. No variety maybe since it was a late dinner but for the price and still selling I feel like it shouldn’t matter.

   We had a lovely time but were overly impressed with the food. Most of it seemed under seasoned. There was a few cuts of meat that were very good and the drinks we had and cheesecake were amazing. Our server was also top notch and so fun. We did a lot of laughing with him. It made it extra fun! I wish I knew his name. He gave us a free desert. He has some Mr. Miyagi skills. He was top notch among all the others who were very attentive and enjoyable.

   We got the full exp. dinner. It was a waste of money for us at least. It’s not what it used to be. The meats were a bit dry & not hot. We should have stuck with our original plan to just do the salad bar. I hardly ate any meat & my son had one piece and didn’t care for the quality. The salad bar on the other hand outshines all as usual. My favorite salad bar. That’s what I’ll stick with. Great atmosphere & above & beyond salad experience!

   The meat wasn’t as good as it normally is, something just didn’t taste right.

    I’ve been to Fogo in Portland somewhere near 20-30 times over the years. I’ve been a champion for the business and enticed others to dine there as well. The last two times I have been there have been lackluster at best. Tonight sort of sealed the deal. We came to celebrate my son and I’s birthday. It was his 21st, so it was very special. We had a party of 9 and had reservation days in advance, for 5PM. I feel like our server was very new and this was frustrating. We are in one of the busiest times of the year, on one of the busiest days of the week (Friday) and a large party, why put someone new?? The first thing she did was spill my girlfriend’s soda on her iPhone 16…so that was neat. The entire white table cloth was saturated in ice and soda and she “went to get a towel”. I said, “uhhh, we have to move to a new table, this is going to need to be changed out for new linens”. She felt bad and I felt bad for her. We cleaned the phone off and moved to a new table. I am not sure if the server was just shook after this but the service was bad. It took us forever to get things. I didn’t know that they no longer bring the smaller meat plates and we never got the green/red pucks. So we just ate salad (prob for the best) and watched the Churrascos pass us by. After a while, I asked why we didn’t have the plates or pucks and they informed me they forgot about the pucks and don’t do the plates anymore…ok. I waited to see if they got the message I left on OpenTable about my son’s 21st bday and they did not. So I had to remind them and that sucks. I was hoping for the surprise “happy birthday” from the staff but nah. It was just like any other day. Just like any 21st, we had to order drinks. I asked for one of my absolute favorite drinks ever (coconut one with a coconut rim. I believe it has rum) and they said no, they only had one bartender that knew how to do it and he didn’t have the ingredients to make it…no joke. When my son ordered his, they didn’t ID him.
