First time at Rodizio Grill. Food was fantastic! People were terrific. Ambiance (at lunch time)…read morewas good enough. There's a cold salad bar, a hot food bar, and meats delivered to your table. The variety on the cold salad bar was amazing! BLT, mozzarella, fruit, potato and standard romaine were just some of the salads offered, with a large amount of toppings available. The hot bar had Brazilian cheese bread, crispy polenta, beef stroganoff, bean stew, breakfast items and more! All was delicious. But don't get too distracted - the meat is the star. The meats were so very good! You choose what you want and the gaucho slices your portion table side. I asked for very small pieces so I could try everything. I believe I had 4 different beef preparations, 3 chicken and 3 pork (sausage, ham and loin). Such variety and deliciousness! And mustn't forget the grilled/glazed pineapple- I'd go back just for that! This place is not cheap, but I believe it's worth it (if you're hungry). We went for lunch which was lower priced than dinner, and I doubt we'll eat the rest of the day. My belly is full and my wallet is lighter, but my oh my am I happy!

I did not take any pictures, but we came in on a Sunday around 2PM for Brunch with friends…read more This was everyone's first time visiting. However, I had been in once before when they first opened up. All the staff were super friendly. It was relatively busy, but there was no wait to be seated. I will note that coming before 3PM is the best deal because it's only $36.99 per person for the Full Rodizio versus $49.99 per person after 3PM. Honestly, their salad / side bar has really good offerings. Even if you're not in the mood for meat, you can get some really good offerings from the salad / side bar. There is an option to skip the meat for a cheaper price. The food is all you can eat, which is nice! However, you better come hungry to get your moneys worth. I really like the concept of the place. The food was all very good, fresh, and high quality. The issue I have is that I feel like I can't possibly eat enough to get my money worth. So I would not come to this place often....

Drinks and food were amazing. Period. For appetizers we had the hummus, goat cheese, and wings. Everyone had an assortment of dinner plates and loved them.

We did wait quite a lot for the main course, fortunately we had shared the hummus and the whipped goat cheese which were awesome too. Unfortunately they had ran out for some items in the menu, including a dessert we really wanted to try. The ambience was great, they were playing African music at some point too. Would go back to try other things in the menu. We were thinking they probably ran out because they had been busy.

The flavor was very good- there was a slight smokey flavor but you could tell the steak had been marinating for a while! We asked for the filet mignon and they grilled it right up for us! I would however order it at the very beginning because it can take a while depending on how busy the kitchen is. At the beginning our server wasn't all that attentive because to be honest I think she was just very overwhelmed because there were a ton of people there. However, she did make up for it at the end because she offered us a free dessert! I'm only going it 4 stars out of 5 because the sides are tasteless and honestly you could do without the market table. I didn't love anything and if you want mashed potatoes you have to order them which I think is quite a marketing play. Lastly, make sure you order the sauces that is the cherry on top and they are free!

We were really looking forward to celebrating two special occasions at Fogo de Chão, our 8th…read morewedding anniversary and our daughter's 7th birthday. I made the reservation in advance and specifically noted both celebrations, and I also mentioned them to our server at the beginning of dinner. We were told they would bring out desserts to celebrate. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing, especially for a special occasion. The meat service was extremely slow and inconsistent. For the first 30 minutes, we barely received any meat service at all and sat around waiting. We eventually had to complain to our server, who said they would have the gauchos come toward our table more often. Even after that, we only had one person come by, and it was a meat we had already tried. After we complained a second time, we were suddenly bombarded with meat service, which made the experience feel very disorganized. It shouldn't take multiple complaints before guests receive the service they are paying for. We were also disappointed by the lack of variety in the food. By the end of dinner, the overall experience just wasn't what we has anticipated. Plus the desserts that we were told would be brought out for our anniversary and our daughter's birthday never came. At that point, I was already frustrated with the experience and didn't want to wait around any longer, so we paid the bill and left. We chose Fogo de Chão specifically to celebrate two important family milestones, so it was especially disappointing that the service and attention to the occasion fell short. For the price, we expected much better service, variety, and overall experience. We also chose to try this location over the Gilbert one (even though we're closer to Gilbert) because we thought the service would be better at a place that has been established a lot longer.

Just wish they had a better salad bar-more veggie options to put on my salad. And maybe have a list of what the different menu items were between lunch and dinner.

The server was very nice and attentive. And the place looked great, very nice and clean. We were stuffed! But it was great!!

Serra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse was an absolute experience!…read more We were advised to enjoy the Special Course Meal, and OMG... we are SO glad we did! The parade of meats kept coming on repeat, and every round was better than the last. We enjoyed Picanha, Top Sirloin, Bottom Sirloin, Tri-Tip, and Filet Mignon Wrapped in Bacon--and yes, they just kept coming! The meats were flavorful, tender, and cooked beautifully. And then there was the elevated salad and sides bar, featuring fresh salmon, olives, cheeses, salads, and so many delicious options that it could practically be a meal all by itself. The service, the atmosphere, the endless selection, and that incredible Brazilian steakhouse experience made this a meal we won't soon forget. Serra Gaucha, you definitely know how to put on a feast! Come hungry, because you're going to want to try EVERYTHING!

We were worry about the experience we saw on yelp but our experience was good…read more We tracked the meat they list on their website, and we actually got almost everything. The bacon wrapped chicken/pork/steak did come several times, and more than other protein options, but we got picanha several times as well. Besides the meat, my personally favorite was their honey grilled cheese, so warm and not too sweet. For beverage, I highly recommend Brazil limenade, very refreshing and also not too sweet, perfect for cleaning your palate after eating so many oily meat. Their service was also spot on, very friendly. However, we thought we could get grilled pineapple, but realized it's an add on. Overall, a lot of choices and you will get really full.

They even have speakeasies that are worth visiting. Ask the host how to make a reservation to those speakeasies, as the staff here is very friendly. They ensure you have a wonderful time and get the experience you want. Sometimes other parties can be a little loud as they are having fun, so keep that in mind as the last few times I've gone it was a little hard to hear my table. The food is reasonably priced and pretty good! The carpaccio was to die for!!!!! I would have ordered 10 of those and been happy. The sauce they paired it with was so yummy, I wasn't expecting that. The oysters are flown in daily so ask your waiter or waitress about details if you care to know, they are very knowledgeable. Every time I've ordered food here I've been happy. Except for the duck I wasn't impressed. It was a little overcooked and tough to eat, the rice it was paired with was also a little bland but the sauce they had a little drizzled on the side was soooooo good. Now the desserts....you can't go wrong. Every dessert hits the spot. They also offer coffee as well which was perfect for me who was heading to a concert afterwards. There is a parking garage to park in and YES THEY VALIDATE! It's a little hard to find when you come up from the parking garage but the security guard saw us struggling and pointed us in the right direction. I would definitely return! Again, if you haven't been it's worth checking out.

You know you are in for a true fine dining experience. We started off with some cocktails and I was very impressed with the clear ice cube in my Smokey Old Fashioned as it was branded with the "Toro" logo. It was so smooth and probably the best Old Fashioned I ever had, so I had 3 more! My wife throughly enjoyed her Espresso Martinis also. I started off with the Grilled Octopus and nearly cried because it was so good. This is a food favorite of mine and although I love the flavors, most restaurants over cook it and you need to cut it with a steak knife. Not this dish, no knife necessary, your fork will do. So tender, so flavorful, so amazingly delicious. The Mrs. ordered the crispy calamari and was thoroughly impressed as the texture was what fresh calamari should be and not the rubbery texture you get from 8 out of 10 other places. Seasoned to perfection with spices but not overly spicy. My wife can't bear spicy anymore , but she really enjoyed it. I finished it for her of course, because she always remembers to leave room for desert and never finishes anything. And I'm glad because I always get to taste her meals too. It's a win-win for me! I then had an off-the-hook Ceviches that rivaled my own. I am also a part-time cook and also wrote a cookbook. Ceviche is a particular dish that I compare to other restaurants and until now, never found another place that compares to mine. Toro doesn't disappoint my friends. Now for the entrée, Lomo Saltado for myself and a medium rare Ribeye for the Mrs. The Lomo Saltado was beef tenderloin on creamy rice, crispy potato, heirloom tomato, bell peppers, Rocoto Aioli and a Chifa Soy Sauce. It was mouth watering. The beef tenderloin was cooked a little on the well done side, but my bad for not specifying to cook it medium rare. It was still amazing and not a big enough deal to even mention it in the review, but I just want you to specify your preference when you order yours. My wife had the 14 Oz. Ribeye, medium rare ( she thought it was also medium but I found it to be medium rare myself) it was soooo good. She had a side dish of Crispy Brussels sprouts that were unworldy. We never had Brussels sprouts that good, it must be the sherry vinagrette and cotija cheese. Unreal. I had a side of shishito peppers that made my heart happy. My favorite peppers are not usually available everywhere so it was a real bonus to the meal. Desert, well the desert was worth the wait. We both ordered the Ube Basque Cheesecake. It is a dark purple colored slice of heaven with masa crumble, Yuzu espuma and coconut jam. The presentation was stunning. We even enjoyed espresso with sambucca to finish our dining experience. How many places offer espresso on their menu just to inform you the espresso machine isn't working? Just another bonus for us. Price wise, what you would expect for a high-end restaurant in a beautiful resort area of Scottsdale, no sticker shock there, but still, I'd save this place as a never can fail go to for a first date, anniversary, job promotion, marriage proposal, special occasion restaurant. They also do breakfast, brunch, lunch and Happy Hour. I hope you get to experience this place at least once. Put it on your bucket list, you'll be glad you did!

The chicken included 2 thighs and a leg and was extremely tender and was served with the choice of White Rice and Beans or Moro and a small salad. The chicken had a flavorful sauce over it when served. I did ask for an additional side to use with the chicken and rice. My wife had Chuleta al Sarten - Grilled pork chops. The meal included 2 pork chops and the same side options as mine. The pork was tender and blended well with the Moro rice. She also added some of the sauce I got to her dish. Service was great and the meals were under $20 each. Looking forward to my next visit when I think I will try one of the sea food or beef options.
