Beautiful restaurant and to top it off, the service was excellent! We got the indulgent experience, everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Our server Mikayla made our experience even better by recommending the caipirinha which is apparently a traditional drink from Brazil. I was celebrating my 10 year anniversary and Mikayla made sure we were taken care of the whole time making it a wonderful experience for us overall. She made us feel welcomed with her friendliness and was very knowledgeable about her menu suggestions! Thank you, we'll definitely be coming back(: read more

Good food very busy ! Very good service but they keep bringing same kind of meats ! And the price was not what i saw on advertised on fb !

10/10 food with amazing quality in a beautifully designed restaurant. The service was great too with super respectful staff. The aspect that was a bit of a let down is that the chairs and tables are so close together it's hard to fit through sometimes. And on busy days, they tend to forget your requests and need a couple reminders But overall, will definitely come again for the meats! read more

So I have been to many Fogo de Chao of the past 6 years and had not only excellent food, but the service was outstanding. So it saddens me to make the review. My hubby and I went last night the location in Rancho Cucamonga. We sat as was told our server would be with us. As we sat there we wait til one of the floor supervisor came to our table to start us with drinks. Well, the drinks came, but the server never came and intro himself. After flagging down the floor supervisor to refill or drinks, the server finally came to our table. He said sorry and to make sure if we need anything to let him know. We'll need refills on our drinks. Well, this is awful customer service! We would like a refill but, he was no where to be found. We noticed all the other tables had attentive servers looking over the guest, but we felt ignored. This server should be retrained on customer service. We spent our meal trying to get any server to assist us with attention and our experience. Our server apparently went to lunch without mentioning it to us. We were told he should have let us know. This Over $273.00 for this experience. To top is off the menu showed ribs and chorizo. We were never shown that or offered until after we ordered dessert. Thanks for taking the time to read this. read more

Had a 4:30 reservation for a birthday celebration and waited out front for over 45 minutes before giving up and leaving. We received a call that our table was finally ready a full hour after our reservation time -- completely unacceptable. If you're planning a special occasion, don't rely on their reservation system. This location clearly struggles with scheduling and managing table turnover. We were a group looking forward to celebrating, and instead spent our evening standing outside with no updates or apology from staff. Expect better from Fogo. Very disappointing experience read more

Alyssa is a true cut above. She gave so much exceptional service. She exmplified true kindness and care. The place was pretty packed but each person working was very attentive. So many people were trying to garner tables. Make sure you reserve in advance. The food that came out was simply amazing too. I don't eat red meat and they accomadated with great choices and options. This place is a must try. read more

Fogo de Chão - Cucumber mint splash and Passion fruit smash were so good. This was taken before our delicious meats. - Brazilian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My first time trying a brazilian steak house. The decor gives an elevated feel and the smells were appealing. But would say that servers need more training: 1) We weren't made aware of the churrasco chip (red for "no more" and green for "more) until our waiter noticed that we hadn't been served any meats. And even then, we were told that it just needed to be on our table to be served. As we ate our dessert, overheard another waiter explain what each flip side meant to another couple that had just sat down. 2) when it came to paying, we were told our two gift cards were defective. Frustrating, but we went to Costco to remedy it. They informed us that whoever had served us, charged it and then canceled it, leading it to be flagged and locked. Frustrating to deal with. Back to the meal: Since we got the churrasco experience, we had access to the "salad bar". They have more than salad but be aware food is served chilled. Personally, certain things I like to have warm (asparagus, mushrooms, grilled cauliflower). I would say keeping certain items over a warming tray. Idk, just less appetizing to have it chilled besides those Kalamata olives, whole grain mustard, and hummus. Note: the plate you used for the salad bar is where your churrasco meat will be served too. "Gaucho chefs" would make their way around the dining room announcing the type of meat and offering it to those tables with chips. Only when waiter noted our missing service (and chips) did we have a wave of 5 chefs come by. After that, it was sparse. We must have been in an overlooked spot or maybe its intentional so you get full from nibbling on the sides provided? Unsure. I mostly enjoyed the sweet bread and Maduros (fried plantains). The meat experience varied. It would be over salted, overcooked edges, or fatty but sometimes you would get a succulent piece, if sliced at the right spot. By the way, the mini tongs they have at your table, are for holding the meat they are slicing for you. Be aware the juice can spurt as theyre cut. Overall, I would say I liked the drinks (Caipirinha). The strawberry hibiscus was made with fresh fruit but the chunks were a little too thick. That and the ice made up half my glass and also got stuck in the straw. Habañero mango was much smoother. Make sure to get those in as the timing was off. My partner was having Stella's and even his drinks would take 20 min. to get to our table from the bar. Would have given our visit a 3 but the debacle with the gift card did sour our date night. read more

It was my first time here during Valentine's Day weekend. The tables were really close and tight together where your elbows were almost touching the other person's and just enough room behind you to get up. It was embarrassing to squeeze through many tables where people were eating dinner making all parties uncomfortable whilst eating. It just felt like it was all to maximize profit and minimize the entire experience. It was so hot. Everyone was drenched in sweat from all the body heat. We had to try and put our hair up and our jackets were already off. It's literally 45° outside. It was disgusting. Some of the meat tasted off, had a weird after taste too salty, grainy and chalky. It was weird. The other staff there were great. Honestly. 10/10 for them but all it took was my rude server, Sheila, to ruin my first impression, killed my vibe entirely, and experience of this place to make it somewhere I never want to go back to again. I literally paid to be disappointed. WHOEVER RESPONDS TO THESE REVIEWS SAYING A MANAGER WILL REACH OUT IS A LYING LIAR!!! NO COMMUNICATION WHTATSOEVER. NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME SINCE FEBRUARY. read more

Made my way back again. Maybe an off day since last time was SIGNIFICANTLY better and this time was very off-putting. Staff was friendly but whenever they mentioned they would do something it never got done. Had to ask for a drink 3-4 times just to get one drink. Many of my colleagues decided to just leave because they never got the meats they wanted. We asked for cinnamon roasted pineapple maybe 5 times throughout the night and kept being told it was on the way and NOT ONCE did it arrive throughout the whole night. The salad bar - argula looked shriveled and many of the fruits looked unappetizing and dry. My colleague described the salad bar items as "sad" looking. On top of all of this when pouring the cheese honey, the waiter dripped honey off the plate and onto my pants. They also dropped bacon while slicing the meat, on to my dessert takeout without realizing. Worst of all they dripped oil onto my jacket which was resting on the back of my chair when moving around the meats. I did get to compare the chocolate dessert items and highly recommend the Chocolate Brigadeiro over the molten lava hands down. The cheesecake brulee is still the classic and my favorite but the brigadeiro is also delicious. Overall, was very disappointed with the service and quality today. We were there for quite some time and felt like we didn't get much of the meats or food items we wanted and I walked away with multiple stained pieces of clothing. read more

We had four adults and one child and ordered à la carte. Every dish and the service were disappointing. The sea bass was drowned in butter and lacked real flavor. The chicken breast took over an hour to arrive, and every time we asked, we were told "3 more minutes." The picanha was served extremely overcooked, which is unacceptable for a steakhouse. Our waitress disappeared before we even received our final entrée and never informed us she was leaving or that another server would take over. We never saw her again -- even after closing our tab. We also ordered strawberry ice cream and received vanilla with artificial strawberry syrup. Not good. If you want quality food and service, Texas de Brazil across the street is a much better option. Fogo de Chão was a complete letdown. read more

Newer location located in a shopping complex. Parking wasn't too bad when we went for lunch time. Not as big as other locations but very nice decor. We sat in the bar area for the happy hour menu and relaxed. Our bartender was friendly and provided nice conversation. We always enjoy their HH food times and drinks. Sometimes we don't want to eat to heavy so the amounts and variety are satisfying. Complimentary cheese rolls are great when they're fresh out of oven. Our favorite food item on HH is the queijo assado - fried cheese with honey - not sure what kind of cheese but it's GOOD. . They also have good cocktails on HH, but today we just enjoyed a nice cold glass is Stella from tap. Fogo had a good HH and I would come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Came here for a date night since it just opened. We paid $79 per person for the second-highest option. The first staff member who explained everything was great, but after that, service really fell off. The place was very crowded, drinks took a long time, and we had to flag people down for refills. We never saw our actual server again. The salad bar was disappointing--no sneeze guard and utensils sitting directly in the food, which felt unsanitary. The selection also wasn't great. On the positive side, a few of the meats were really good, and the staff bringing them around were frequent and friendly. Overall, it felt overpriced for the experience. I won't be returning. read more

I honestly don't even know where to begin like the service here is top notch. I told the waiter it was my birthday and he was so nice. He told me happy birthday like three or four times I felt very special and the cake was complimentary like what!?! Will definitely be bringing back my little family soon !! Thank you for such a pleasant Birthday Lunch!!! read more

Probably one of the worst Fogo de chão restaurants I've ever been to. Came here for an event and it was not good. The food itself was delicious, well I should say all 4 pieces of meat I got were delicious. They barely came around to serve the churrasco and we had to get our waitress involved to have them start to bring meats over. Additionally, I asked one of their servers to bring the beef rib and she said they didn't offer it here and then a few minutes right after we got the check... THEY BROUGHT IT OUT. What a joke. I usually love Fogo and was so excited to come try the Rancho location and show the folks in my party who have not been before. Most of our party left hungry which is pretty wild for something that's all you can eat. read more

Had reservations for a party of 18, for my birthday. Wanted to try the newly fogo out in the ie. We got seated within 5 mins of the reservation time. Space was a little tight where we seated. Our servers were Veronica and Layla , they were really great ! Very knowledgeable and explained everything well, for our party who has never been. Really went above and beyond our expectations. They deserve a raise !!! The salad bar was good, so many options to choose from. But I feel that it was always empty and then when they were serving meats they didn't come all the way around the table. Which half of the party was already full when the other party barely ate. Told our serves and they brought them our way. I don't know if they were super busy but I felt that they didn't really pay attention to the parties in the back. read more

We visited the new Fogo de Chão with friends, and the ambience was beautiful. The restaurant itself is stunning and was packed, which shows how popular it already is. While waiting for our reservation, we tried to grab drinks at the bar, but the layout made it difficult to maneuver and actually get service. Once seated, we chose the $73 option with the full buffet and continuous tableside meats. The food itself was good, but we were repeatedly offered the same cuts while waiting quite a while to see the filet mignon and bone-in ribeye. We had to ask several times before those finally made it to our table, which was a bit disappointing given what we were looking forward to most. Our server also wasn't very attentive -- cocktails and beers from the bar took a long time to arrive, and it felt like she may have been overwhelmed with her section. On a positive note, the sides were amazing, especially the Pão de Queijo, which was definitely the standout. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with good food, but the service and pacing still need some fine-tuning. read more

FOGO de CHAO is a unique dining experience. My wife had heard about it from her colleagues, so she insisted that we go. Our main server, Homer, was great, very attentive, returning often to check on us. First of all, expect to pay at least $53 per person (plus tax and tip, of course). If you are a seafood eater, expect to pay at least $73. $53 gets you a salad bar and a variety of freshly cut meats. The restaurant is elegant. The tableware has the restaurant's name on them. The tableware includes mini-tongs, which you will use to catch your slice of meat as the server slices it off the post. The long tables, presumably set for groups, have tablecloths; the napkins are linen. We ordered the $53 options. As another reviewer suggested, you shouldn't take too much food from the salad bar; instead, you should save room for the meats. One warning: you must be patient when it comes to waiting for the meat. There are a number of servers circulating around the room, each with a different cut of meat. Also, if you wait for a particular cut of meat, you may be waiting a while, so take what you get and try to request what you want. (Patience is the key. If you don't like waiting for your food, this is NOT the place to go.) Another suggestion: We saw a couple next to us take two plates apiece from the salad bar, one under the other. When they sat down, they set out the empty plates to receive meat from the servers. The salad bar warning may be futile. When you see the salad bar, you are met with a variety of unusual selections, from tomato slices topped with basil and mozzarella to asparagus and dragonfruit and pineapple slices and sliced cold meat cuts and the usual lettuce and salad dressings. I walked away with a plateful of options. (See pic.) Unfortunately, the all-you-can-eat nature of the meal prohibited me from taking home my fat trimmings for my dogs. It's a shame really, thinking about all the waste that builds up and ends up in landfills, but I digress. Free parking, if you can find a spot. We lucked out and found a spot right in front. The restaurant is just off Foothill, across the parking lot from Best Buy. read more

I've always liked Fogo de Chao. In fact I've made another reservation for Xmas in Vegas. This location is beautiful but food is just alright. Most of the meat cuts are overcooked or undercooked. One of the server even dropped the entire piece of steak on our dining table because It was not cooked well. The seasoning is also very bland. Not impressed. The one thing that I enjoyed were the beef ribs but I had to ask them twice to bring it out. They almost never walk around with it. $73 per person for Thanksgiving was NOT worth it. The salad bar is only half the kitchen island. It's smaller than other locations. For this location I would choose Texas de Brazil over this location. read more

I had such a fantastic time last Friday night! It had been a rough and long week but I wanted to get out and celebrate one of my bestie's birthdays and she wanted to come here. We had such a fun night. Our server, Christian, was awesome. He took special care of us and made sure we were taken care of. William was another person who made sure that we tried all of the meats and enjoyed our favorite meats as many times as we wanted. Such a great attitude! Lastly, we had Damon. He was Mr. Personality and we enjoyed chatting it up with him. Also, we were surprised with fried pineapple and it was amazing and they didn't kick us out. At think we were the last ones there. Great team and keep Up the good work and providing a quality experience. read more

Fogo de Chão is what's up now if you're in the IE looking for some chow. You want the best of both worlds let me tell you how. We opted for seats near the bar and this is how we took the menu options really far. Both of the menus were given because of where we were seated so my recommendation if you want to score on this loophole asked to be seated in that particular area. The highlights of this adventure were the Filet Mignon and the Branzino that was deboned table side. The Shrimp Cocktail and Chilean Sea Bass were decent but I can't knock it because the specialties are their meats. The service was on point from start to finish with the staff working together and even the manager?! That's service and that's my take, Peace out read more

Service was great, the ambiance was very nice but we believe the food wasn't as good as we were expecting. Kinda of dry meat, what was delicious was the Parmesan pork, the sausage and the chicken leg drum. I know they are brand new so maybe it takes some time and we totally understand. The experience was amazing though! Thank you guys for a great time. read more

We just got back from dinner at Fogo De Chão and it was SO GREAT! They just opened Monday and I'm pleasantly surprised how great everything was on their fifth night being open. Our server was Mariam and she was nothing short of incredible! Super attentive, got us everything we needed. They also had like lead servers walking around introducing themselves to each table telling us if we wanted anything specific from the grill to let them know and they'd get us whatever we wanted. The salad bar was great, lots of options and everything tasted super fresh. Lots of meat cuts - we had bacon wrapped sirloin, garlic pichana, regular pichana, chicken, pork sausage, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others. The servers passing out the meat were so nice and one guy was actually really funny. Just top notch service over all honestly. I definitely did not eat th $79 worth of food, but this is for sure going to be our go-to steakhouse for date nights. The place is decently sized. I noticed they had two rooms for larger parties that had doors that could close off for a bit of privacy. The bathrooms were on the smaller side, only three stalls for the women's room and I waited in line for a bit. When we got there, we did have a reservation so after checking in, we were seated within 2-3 minutes. Every table in the restaurant was filled for sure. We used to go to the Brazilian steakhouse across from FDC, but their service was just so god awful that we swore we'd never go back there again. Definitely looking forward to coming back here again soon. read more

Came to this location for the first time, we have been to other locations. Ambiance is not bad but not festive. Service was ok, seemed like short staffed. It was too slow to bring meats out and when it came the portions were small. I get it, it's food control, but wen we asked for a bit more I was told no. Food was what we expected good. However, I think we will go to other locations we enjoyed better. read more

Fogo de Chão - After eating too much - Brazilian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Two visits. Two failures. Zero accountability. We really wanted to love this place. We gave it a second chance, and they made sure we'd regret it. First visit: We were seated away from the main dining floor, and the meat service completely forgot we existed. Our server was genuinely great and flagged the team for us. Still nothing. We had to ask for the manager twice before anyone took it seriously. Eventually the meat started coming around, but the manager's response throughout was indifferent at best. Second visit: We came back for a friend's birthday hoping the first time was a fluke. The host was warm and welcoming, honestly the best part of the night. But from there it fell apart. Our server never introduced himself until we were more than halfway through dinner. We had to flag him down repeatedly for water and basic sides, and every request felt like an inconvenience to him. We waited over 30 minutes just to get fried bananas. When we finally reminded him about our friend's birthday dessert and got the manager involved, the dessert eventually arrived. Wrong order. After all that waiting. The manager both visits showed zero urgency and zero ownership. That's a leadership problem, not just a server problem. As someone Brazilian, I'll say it plainly: this place is an embarrassment to Brazilian hospitality. Fogo de Chão built its name on warmth and abundance. This location delivers neither. Do yourself a favor and go to any other location. read more

I've been back a few times since opening. Some for business lunch and some with the family for dinner on the weekend. I'm happy to say it's been great! Family and kids love it! I found out kids under 12 are half off! I joined the Fogo rewards and every week I get some type of offer. Last night it was a free churrasco with the purchase of one adult one. As always, food was great! Cuts were at a perfect medium rare and the salad bar had my favorite cold cuts. I usually don't try the feijoada - bean stew - when I visit a Brazilian churrasco. But this time it was different, it was very flavorful and the most authentic I've tried. Come to find out, the manager, Alvaro, uses his recipe himself. I met a new carver, José, who's fresh from Brazil. His wife makes some of the food in the kitchen too. Doesn't get any more authentic than this. Like before, service was quick and efficient and our server, Damon, was extremely friendly and helpful. Kids loved talking to him. Dinning area and restrooms were very clean and everyone was dressed up. It is a very upscale vibe. Important tip at any churrascaria - if the meats slow down or it seems like they are missing you, just let any server (white shirt) know. They will make sure the carvers stop at your table pronto! It's not personal, they are just really busy . Thank you guys for making us feel like a Brazilian family. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner and it was honestly disappointing. The service was extremely lacking. We had to ask for water, ask for drinks, and then ask again. It didn't feel like anyone was really watching tables or managing the dining room. The Market Table was also packed with no real system, so it became a crowded bottleneck instead of a fun part of the experience. The biggest letdown: the meat variety was very poor. It felt like only a couple options came around (including chicken), and they showed up only once in a while. For a churrascaria, that's the whole point--and it just didn't deliver. For the price and for a celebration, this was not worth it. Hoping it's just new-location growing pains, but I won't be back anytime soon. read more

We came right around the time they had opened, and unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with the food. While the service was exceptional -- attentive, friendly, and professional -- the overall dining experience fell short. The meats were bland, and the market table/food bar didn't have many options and lacked flavor as well. It honestly felt like things were still a work in progress, which was surprising given the reputation. Because of that, I'd personally choose Texas de Brazil before returning to Fogo de Chão. Hopefully it improves, but this visit didn't live up to expectations. read more

Tried this new location since we were in the area. It's smaller than the one in Brea, but nice decor and cozy atmosphere. Came for happy hour and everything was good as expected. LOVE the queijo asado (grilled cheese) with honey sauce - it has a kick. Service was very friendly and quick. Parking was fine, but it's near Victoria Gardens so not sure how it is at busy times. Overall, this location is a nice addition and I was glad to find a Fogo nearby where we were since I love their happy hour menu. read more

Veterans Day Special Nov 11 '25 8:45p Won't ever, ever be coming back to this location. First, it was smaller than other locations but my wife and I gave it a go... Long story short didn't get any of all the cuts, just 3 pichana, garlic sirloin and dried hard crusty chicken with an "I'm sorry for the not all churrasco experience" dessert. Possibly due to 4 large parties in that small place. 1. My wife was looking forward to the "lamb chops" but she could only taste it twice (2X) from a distance where all the pieces went to one section of the restaurant. 2. Very less often 3-4X our server would come by and refill our drinks then disappear. The final time was "last call" at 9:45p where our server came over and "what would you like? " I replied "I don't know what do you have? Since you don't have lamb nor ribeye?" No indication of exactly your list of meats!!! He then referred to the manager.. and "here we go" Manager - "My deepest apologies" would you like dessert on us? Even when we agreed the couple next to us up and left because they were treated the same way. Not a discount, not a voucher not even to say it's on us. Paid full price with no tip. 140 days later on our anniversary in the Woodland Hills Location .. 180 degree turnaround.. will be going there or Pasadena from now on read more

We celebrated my 50th birthday at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, and overall it was a very good experience! We usually go to their Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse location in Irvine so we wanted to try something different this time. Our reservation was at 2:00 PM, but we arrived 30 minutes early and they were kind enough to accommodate us right away, which we really appreciated. Our server was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious as always, and the staff bringing around the meats were friendly and courteous. The only downside was that the meat service felt a bit slow at times--we honestly felt like our table may have been overlooked for a while. On a sweet note, they surprised me with a complimentary birthday dessert, which made the celebration even more special Overall, still a very good dining experience, and a memorable way to celebrate my 50th birthday! read more

Been here twice and both times, service was HORRIBLE. This time, our server LUIS didn't introduce himself until half way through our dinner. He never checked in on us. We had to call him over multiple times. We ordered a bday dessert. Literally, waited over 30 min for the dessert. When it came. It was the wrong dessert. Had to wait more for the right dessert. The manager DEVIN, wasn't helpful at all and not hospitable despite remembering the horrible experience we had the first time we were here. Tried giving this a second chance and they failed again. If you are really wanting Fogo, go to any other location besides this one. Listen to all the other one star reviews. They are definitely more accurate in the type of service and dining experience you will have. The only really positive experience was the host! She was amazing. read more

Weekday night and this place was absolutely packed! Make sure to have a reservation. Highlights: - House drink was a Brazilian strawberry margarita blend, and it was delicious. Lots of fresh lime and strawberry. -salad bar had a wide variety of selection. They had a Mexican corn salad, roasted garlic, lots of cheeses, pickles, and seasonal papaya and kiwis. Everything I had here was great. -the table sides with the cheese bread and plantains were delicious! -waiters came around with a lot of different meats. These start to taste the same after awhile but we did have a lot of options come through. My favorite was the lamb and picahna Things to improve: - many of the meats were over cooked. Even prime cuts like filet and steak were tough. - At one point, I asked for a drink and the waiter forgot about it. I had to ask someone else after 30 minutes and finally got it afterwards read more

Great service, the servers were very attentive and meats were constantly being brung. One issue I had was the limitation on a buffet item, particularly the waffles. They told me only 1-2 waffles at a time. It was a popular item so I understand the limit, but more can just be simply made especially when they're in high demand. Another issue I had was that I found a moldy raspberry in my parfait. If I was sat in the darker areas of the restaurant, I wouldn't have saw and eaten it. read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My wife and I visited this location on Saturday March 14. I've been to other locations and wanted to try this one near the house. We had reservations for 6pm and even though the restaurant was busy we were sat fairly quickly at table for 2. It took about 15 minutes for a waiter to come over and give us water and take a drink order. He explained the menu and told us how the medallions work. Green for more meat and Red for no more. He took our wine order and left. Another 15 minutes later, we still had no drinks and no medallions to signal that we were ready to be served meat. I did not see our server since he left our table so I tried flagging down another waiter. Everyone appeared to be running around helping other customers but I still did not see our waiter. I went over to the kitchen where there was a group of workers and I heard one of the waiters telling a gentleman who appeared to be either a lead or manager that there were customer tables that did not have medallions (the same issue we had). The manager told the employee, "Stop complaining!" The employee stopped talking and just went back to what he was doing. I let the manager know we did not have medallions either he said he would send someone to our table. I sat back at the table and it was another 5 minutes before anyone showed up. A waiter arrived and refilled our water. He gave us medallions and apologized for us not being given them by our original waiter. I then asked him about our wine order and he said he would go to the bar and check on that. He came back about 5-7 minutes later with our drinks. The guys were coming around now and serving meats. The food was good and we had no complaints there. However, service all night was very disappointing. There was a sense that the waiters appeared to be running around rushed in an effort to appear busy but without actually focusing on any particular table. We still did not see our original waiter so we kept flagging down other waiters for drink orders and water refills. Someone had dropped a piece of meat on the floor near our table and I noticed multiple employees as they walked by looking at that meat on the floor yet no one picked it up over the span of 45 minutes. Finally when we asked for our check, I placed $220 in cash in the folio and tried to hand it to a female worker as she walked by and she said she "couldn't touch it". I reluctantly placed the folio on the table with the cash inside and I walked out. As we were outside in front of the restaurant walking to the car, with about 20 other guest waiting for a table, the woman who initially said she couldn't take my payment runs up to us and ask if we can pay our bill. I told her I left the cash on the table. She then turned around and went back into the restaurant. This has been one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in a long while. I don't know if this is a management issue or a training issue, but there is much improvement to be had at this restaurant. I hope other people will have a better experience but we won't be returning here. read more
