Sergio Gonzalez is the goat, best server ever. Roberto Apreza and Cruz Gonzalez were very helpful too!

Friends decided to spontaneously agree to grab a nice dinner at Fogo de Chão in downtown Seattle Sunday evening. This was my first time at the Brazilian steakhouse. I have heard lots of great things about the establishment. The main reason we decided to go was for the Fogo Four Course, which starts at $59. At this specific location, it was $64. We arrived as a group of five for our reservation at 5:45PM. We were a tad bit late since we were struggling to find parking. Most of our group got dropped off while our friend who was driving scouted for parking. We were seated in the main part of the restaurant, so we didn't get to see the rooftop area. The ambiance is quite intimate and great for date night. It also appeared that Fogo de Chão is good for all and any occasion. Everything we were served was great. I enjoyed grabbing various fruits, vegetables, salads, soups, etc. from the salad bar area to compliment the various meats being served. Everyone at our table opted for the Tres Leches for dessert, but I got the Key Lime Pie! Both were great. The Tres Leches slices were pretty massive. read more

***NEW UPDATE: I want to be fair and follow up on my last update. After I escalated to (I think) their corporate office, the GM for this location reached out personally with an apology and an offer to welcome us back. It took a little longer than I would have liked, but they did follow through. We plan to give them another shot. **UPDATE - I reached out as requested and followed up again when I didn't hear back. Still no response. Starting to feel like these responses are just for show. ** We chose this restaurant to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and came with another couple, both excited for a great Brazilian steakhouse experience. We had already tried the Factoria location and wanted to switch it up. I wish we had just gone back to Factoria. Let me start with the good. The hosts were professional and seated us right away despite it being a busy evening. The lobster mac and cheese was surprisingly delicious with a generous amount of actual lobster, and the crab cake was mostly lump which I appreciated. A few of the meats that did make it to our table were good as well. Now for the rest of it. At a Brazilian steakhouse the entire concept is that when your card is green the servers come to you. That did not happen for us. We sat with our green card up for extended periods of time and were repeatedly overlooked. I even propped my card on my glass to be more visible and still nothing. I found myself constantly trying to catch the eyes of servers and meat carvers attending to other tables only to be ignored. It was so frustrating that I could not even be present and enjoy my anniversary celebration with my husband and the couple we were with. As a woman of color celebrating a milestone anniversary with her husband and friends, I expected to feel welcomed. Instead I felt invisible. I will let you draw your own conclusions about why that might have been. Chris Calpo was absolutely the highlight of our service experience. He saw us, came by consistently, checked back in toward the end of our meal and even offered to alert the kitchen that we needed more attention. He was the only one who made us feel like valued guests and we made sure to tell him directly how much we appreciated him. Chris, if you see this, THANK YOU! You were the best part of our experience. Our server forgot the vegetable order for the couple we were with, mixed up our tickets and our crab cake and lobster mac and cheese came out very late with little to no communication about the delay. She seemed to only remember us when she happened to catch our eyes. We paid over a hundred dollars per person and spent most of the evening filling up on a salad bar that was nothing special because we could barely get anyone to bring us meat. That is not what we signed up for and it is not what we paid for. I am a generous tipper by nature. This was not one of those nights and I do not feel bad about it. I wanted so badly to have a great anniversary dinner. This was not it and we will not be returning. read more

Been here a lot to say the least and this was by far the worst experience. It was especially embarrassing as we brought family from out of state with us. For over 15 minutes staff just passed the table without stopping for meat cuts and even after we asked for specific cuts that never got to us (sometimes when a staff approached us first to ask if we had a request!), they never came through. Additionally, this is the second visit in a row that the signature cut, the picanha, was not sliced thin for anyone at the table, but plopped down in large 3/4 inch chunks. This is not how this cut can be enjoyed, but we never had another opportunity to try it a second time, so visiting family just had to take our word for it that it's really good. When I asked for a drink, the server had to take multiple trips to ask me my preference on spirit, but wouldn't give me any options on what was offered. When I asked for a common spirit they just shrugged and I had to wait for the game of telephone before someone else came over to ask again what spirit I wanted, WITHOUT offering me a list. When I answered, thinking I won't ever get a list, the (I assume) bartender seemed frustrated and said they didn't have that and listed a few spirits for me to choose from. I'm not sure why this was a 20 minute process and I honestly didn't want the drink for that trouble. Ironically I was given a fresh plate and in twenty minutes by the time I paid for the bill, it was whisked away and still perfectly clean. Even spoke to the wait staff and they just made excuses. Needless to say left irritated and hungry. This is not the service expected from this place. read more

Had a reservation and was seated almost immediately. Very quite and dark inside which was nice. The salad barcarea was good and had some things I really liked. I loved the black beans and the fancy cheeses. When it came time for the meats that was lacking a bit, bacon wrapped filet, sirloin, chicken thighs. I was disappointed in some of the meat as it was lacking spice flavors, but I was also disappointed because I must have gone to early as they didn't have any sausage links out and appeared to have minimal meat selections. It was nice that they didn't try to push meat on you as they listen to the red green card and what side it's flipped to. We ended up with the chocolate lava cake for dinner as we were informed that they had run out of the Creme Brulee (we had reservations at 1730 so quite odd they had already ran out ) read more

This is probably the only Fogo have not been to and was excited to have a great dinner. The service was prompt from the start but the meat service was slower than normal. Side dishes came out hot and plentiful and the salad bar had the usual suspects except blue cheese dressing something I normally see at the others. Really the star of the show is usually the meat but they just could not get medium/ medium rare out to the table. It was either cooked past well or came out "blue"/ rare. After repeated requests I just gave up and took what was brought. For being very slow was surprising to see the average performance on a week night. I would try again had to be just off night. read more

Fogo de Chão - Sides dishes - Brazilian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fogo de Chão in downtown Seattle was a solid night out, though pretty standard compared to other Fogo locations I've been to in the metro area and across the country. The staff were nice, and servers came around frequently, which I appreciated. The restaurant did feel a bit smaller than other Fogo de Chão locations I've visited, and the overall quality was alright. One thing I noticed was that at other locations, they usually ask how you like your meat cooked and will cut from the medium rare or more medium section of the skewer depending on your preference. That didn't really happen here, so there was a little less control over doneness. The pacing was mostly good, but the variety felt uneven. For example, the Brazilian cheese with honey only came around once, while the pork covered in cheese came by multiple times, even though that is not one of the more popular items for us. read more

Of all the Fogo de Chão restaurants we've been to - this one is best by far. The staff are 10/10 - exceptional service. Our waitress was fantastic and Niccolai went out of his way to ensure we had absolutely everything we needed - thank you both so much!!!! Food was great as always, and this particular location had the best cheese bread I've had in my life. I had too much, but left happy :) Ambience is fun, with great music and pleasant lighting. Overall, I have no idea how this isn't rated higher, but it's a 5 huge stars from me. We'll be back the next time we're in town! read more

I came at 5:30pm on a wednesday and waited around 15 minutes for a table. The restaurant is very big and the interior is nicely decorated, but it felt under staffed. After placing our order, we waited around 15 minutes for our food, but got 2 baskets of the cheese bread while waiting. I got the picanha burger medium, but it was very well done --the meat was so dry it started crumbling so I had to ask for ketchup. The polenta fries were not my favorite --they were extremely thick, dense, and flavorless. read more

Edit: Not only was the service terrible, but I also left a brand new Touchland hand sanitizer by accident. When we went back to get it (the SAME day), it was 2/3 used. She said she's been using it all day. It's incredibly disrespectful to take and use someone's property like that. I am very disappointed. My friend and I came here today for the $18 lunch salad bar weekday special. We had a Wednesday 12:45 reservation. It was very very packed. There was also only 1 person serving, 1 hostess, and 2 gauchos. So they were very busy. The salad bar itself was great! I really liked the options as a vegetarian (Corn soup, rice, egg salad, various cheeses, salads, veggies, grains, bread, etc.) Their cheese bread was also amazing. The service was horrible. I totally understand that they're busy, but our waitress was rude. It took super long for her to come to our table (totally fine since they were busy), and there was no greeting - she just asked us what we wanted in a rude tone. I'm not sure if it is because my friend and I look young, but I did not see her talking that way to the other guests. She was very condescending to any questions we asked and made me feel very uncomfortable. I'm not asking for faster service, just respect. I won't be revisiting. read more

Rooftop Experience My husband and I came here to celebrate our first anniversary. We were hoping for something a little fancy and enjoyable. The space itself was beautiful, but the ambiance felt a bit off, unnatural and staged. Customer service was friendly, but there were too many staff checking in on us. The person who took our bill wasn't even our server, and they forgot to return our tab along with our card. We had to trouble another host to retrieve it. Overall, while everyone was polite, it felt like there was no privacy. Someone was always watching or hovering, which was a bit much. The food was underwhelming, overly salted, under-seasoned, or dry. (Order: lamb, beef on the bone, chicken, steak) The sauce that came with the meats also lacked flavor. No freshness or complimentary taste added to the meat. The drinks, however, were delicious and the only truly memorable part of the evening. Honestly, I ended up cooking steak almost every day for a week afterward, just to feel better after the disappointing meal. I've been here for brunch before, and I definitely prefer brunch over dinner. read more

Check out the upstairs bar!! Had dinner with friends on a Thursday night at the bar. Good thing we had reservations. Many of the meats that are available in the restaurant are served as "boards" in the bar. So, the food is great. Everything from beef and chicken to lamb. Also Many types of cheeses. Served in shareable sizes. The bar has an extensive selection and bartenders that know their craft. Ashlyn is AWESOME. She made me the best old fashioned ever. My GF loved her cosmo as well. To get to the bar is strange. You take an elevator up from the parking garage ($10) and then take a flight of stairs down before taking another elevator back up again. Anyway, the bar is dimly lit and a little on the loud side with background music running so chatting takes some effort. There are many small tables and several higher tables near the bar with barstools. Some tables overlook the Seattle streets. Apparently there will also be an outside patio when the weather improves. The entire staff work hard to make your experience enjoyable. Returning customers will often be remembered by name. Want something new? Skip the restaurant and try out the bar. You'll like it. read more

Visited this location for the first time for the market table lunch for an easy meal with coworkers. It was fine, and technically a good value for a buffet style meal, but there were some misses. None of the food was labeled, so we were just guessing what we were getting. I could've sworn I've seen labels at other Fogo locations. Some of the items the menu specifically mentioned as part of the market table weren't there when we first grabbed a plate (like the candied bacon or the feijoada) and since there were no placeholders for them on the table, we didn't know they'd be available until towards the end of our meal when they appeared. Service was mixed - we had friendly servers but they kept changing and were hard to flag down. read more

This review is for the rooftop restaurant. I've been to the main restaurant and service has always been great and food arrives quickly. Onto the roof top; space itself is beautiful and clean. Wait staff is friendly and hospitable so this review doesn't apply to them at all. This review for management. How is it that it took 1.5 hours to get an omelette with spinach, onion and mushroom? Brunch wasn't ready so we waited around. We aren't the only ones; another table that arrived shortly after us was in the same boat. We understand that things and issues happen. It would have been great if management explains what's going on or send guests down to the main restaurant where the kitchen staff is not brand new and the buffet is well prepared. Sure you comped brunch but it still left us with a bad experience. Plus we were still hungry. Downstairs restaurant vibe was lovely; so I would recommend this part of the restaurant and a NO to rooftop restaurant until management trained their kitchen staff. It's not their fault that they are new: management really should have handled it better. Such a disappointment. P/S - the omelette photo is untouched and unfiltered #IRL read more

We had reservations for November 1st at 6:30pm for our anniversary, and it was both our first time at a Brazilian steakhouse. Even weeks later, we're still talking about how much we enjoyed it! We were seated shortly after our reservation time, which wasn't an issue, and once at our table the staff greeted us warmly and explained the menu and process clearly. We chose the Indulgent Churrasco experience to celebrate, and the quality of meats were outstanding - very filling and flavorful. While most people probably don't go to a steakhouse for the sides or salad bar, I was pleasantly surprised. It was fresh, satisfying, and a great palate cleanser between all the meats. The atmosphere was lively and moody ( in the best way), and the service was attentive. Overall, a fantastic experience that we'd happily recommend! Not too many pictures bc we were too excited read more

Ordered takeout on their website. Picked up at 9:30pm. No host at the door. Waited for other customers to unlock the door for me. Asked bartender to help me with my pickup order and he had an attitude. The servers did help me out and they were very nice. All was good, for now. I went home and saw the order I received was WRONG. I ordered a picanha plate (RARE, with cheese bread, side asparagus, and side mashed potatoes). They gave me 5 pieces of WELL DONE meat, side asparagus, and side potato salad, with no cheese bread. I'm actually very upset at the whole experience because I never order potato salad--I hate the taste, the asparagus is really salty, and well done meat tastes like leather boots. Also, no utensils. Did I mention no cheese bread and a bartender with an attitude? read more

I came to Fogo De Chão on a Tuesday with a 12:30 reservation, and we were seated right away! The restaurant has a large bar and main dining area with a beautiful interior. I decided to try the full churrasco experience which was $52 and includes a good variety of meats! My favorites were the top sirloin and ribeye. It was so fun to use little tongs to grab the meat as they cut it. There is also a market table in the back where you can grab fruits and veggies. The workers were all kind and professional. I especially recommend our sever Maddy! She thoroughly went over the menu and periodically checked in on us. I would come back! read more

We are here right now while doing this review. We had been waiting for half hour and no meat is coming. Never on this location again.

We had an interesting experience here. Originally we were booked on the rooftop for a group of 15 people and they called us one hour before the booking to let us know that there's a flood and they have to cancel our booking. And that was that... I'm panicked because where am I supposed to take our group of 15 last minute? This Reso has been booked for over a month now. I asked if they can accommodate us downstairs and they do but not sure why they wouldn't offer that in the first place and had I not known they had a downstairs then I would be out of luck. Anyways then more issues - we're running late ... like 30 mins late due to an accident on the freeway that we were not anticipating and I call to let them know hey this is our eta can we still make it work. They say okay and I'm so grateful. 10 mins before the time of our arrival they call me to say if we don't get there exactly on time they're going to cancel our Reso - I'm like can we get a 5 mins grace period I know we're like super late but it's not because of us, there was a really bad accident. They say okay and hang up. Cool. So now we finally arrive and get seated, order our food and they're out of a couple items that we wanted. I felt that they really took care of us at this point and made it work. It's just my experience before getting there was a little wishy washy but once we were there it was all great. The food was also really good in my opinion - maybe not the salmon or sea bass but the meats were really really good! And yes def get the seafood tower. lol read more

This downtown Seattle location is by far the best one. The ambiance is beautiful and they don't cram in seating, so you aren'tsitting on top of the table next to you. This space actually allows for privacy.It is also a perk that they offer happy hour all day every day. I'd go just for their Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha and passionate Caipirinha. They were devine. It was a Monday so it was a bit slower which made for good service. A must here is their churrasco experience! You get to try all the cuts of meat and enjoy the buffet of side dishes. You cannot go wrong here. read more

I guess I just wasn't impressed by the meats which is what they are known for. The cuts were pretty fatty, lacked seasoning (tasted bland), chicken was dry (chicken and bacon). I had one piece of each and didn't want to bother with more. The chimichurri and hot sauce didn't do much- also lacked flavor. The market bar had a nice variety and was well stocked, standouts for me were the chicken salad and grilled vegetables and fresh fruit. The balsamic tomatoes were also super. Table sides were good- mashed potatoes were pretty standard, polenta crispy, cheesy bread...cheesy haha and the plantain was solid. The chocolate lava cake was good- a really standard and delicious cake (what I'd been wanting). Partner got the tres leches and said it was good- she definitely ate more protein than me but we also prefer didn't cuts of meat, she said the location in NY is better. Interior is nice, easy location to get to by public transit. Service is good and attentive. I think for the price, you'd expect more. We came in for the $55 taste of Brazil experience but make sure you read the fine print because it's actually by location, the Seattle one is $67 a person which is still less than the standard price. read more

I've been here three times now, including the Yelp Elite opening lunch when they first launched in Seattle. I had also been to the Manhattan location before that, so I came in curious but already a little skeptical. The concept is fun and the vibe is good. It definitely feels like a place to celebrate or bring a group. My girlfriend liked the atmosphere and the energy in the room. Food-wise, the experience has been pretty consistent across all three visits and it hasn't really wowed me. The salad bar is solid, but if you start there it's easy to fill up before the meat really gets going. The meats come around in waves, and it often feels like the more average cuts show up first. By the time the better ones arrive you're already full. A lot of the steaks also seem to need sauce to really shine. On our last visit for my girlfriend's birthday, the place was busy and the table wasn't getting pre-bussed much. Our server was friendly and honest though. She actually recommended ordering one of the from the single entree dishes instead of doing the bottomless meat option, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a unique and lively experience, but after three visits the food has landed in the average category for me. Service was average, food taste was average, and the prices are on the high side. If you know how to pace yourself and navigate the rotation you might get more out of it. My girlfriend said next time she might just try the fish which says a lot. read more

Fogo de Chão - Tres Leches Cake - Brazilian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Hubby booked us this place for V-day dinner, and for the price, I'd have to say that there are better places in the city, although I'm happy to get this place off our list. We got the Churrasco Experience for each of us and thoroughly enjoyed the salad bar, as well as some drinks and an order of the Burrata with tomatoes, which was so yummy, highly recommend. My gripe with the meats is that the majority of meats being passed around at each table were lamb, chicken, sausage, or other meats, and very little of the steaks. It took at least 45 minutes for the steaks to come around, and when they do, make sure to get at least a few pieces because they won't be back for a bit. It could also be attributed to their busy schedule on Valentine's Day. The quality of the food was very good. I was impressed. Loved loved the little bread and cheese balls as well, omg soo good! It was all the other stuff that made me give them a 3/5 stars. If you don't care much about ambiance and service issues, then go for it, avoid the holidays, and no need to read the below. As for the ambiance, it felt very corporate chain, as expected, but it was a big turn-off for me. The crowd was more like an Olive Garden crowd, which, for the price, was also a negative for me. Again, could be due to the holiday, no idea. The service was subpar. We appreciated a little sparkling wine while we waited for our table, as it was a very busy day, but the hosts were really the best part. The servers were terrible, I mean terrible. These ladies must receive very little training because they seemed lost from beginning to end. I also, unfortunately, overheard a bunch of gossip about their personal lives, as the servers acted like they were clearing the tables but were talking about their restaurant drama loud enough for everyone to hear. It was a little trashy and honestly left a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing. read more

After a networking event a colleague and I decided to grab a small bite to eat downstairs. The restaurant had a waitlist but we were able to find a seat at the bar on a Thursday evening. The service was pretty quick given how busy their dinning area was. The venue was smaller than what I had thought it would be for downtown Seattle. But during my visit the bartender shared about the expansion and opening of the rooftop restaurant. I'm sure that will be beautiful and will bring more people in. As for the food the lobster/shrimp tacos and mocktail were great. I was not a fan of the saucy legs, the sauce was a bit overpowering for my palate but the serving size was extremely good for the price point. Lastly parking at this location was not validated however that's typical for downtown Seattle. read more

I wanted to give Fogo De Chao 5 stars so bad, but I was so disappointed in our experience. The girl working check in was rude. We got brought back to a table that we were told this is where the employees have their lunch or dinner breaks. With that being said, and because our table wasn't on the usual rotation, we got skipped over a lot, for everything. Server took forever to come by. Cocktails came at almost end of our dinner. The check, OMG...we waited like 30 minutes after asking twice. We had to ask someone else to run our credit card so we could leave. Like I said...disappointing. As for the food though, it was very tasty. Everything that we had was really good. I really enjoyed the salad bar too. The sides came out almost at the save time as the check. I couldn't tell you about dessert because we were never offered, or even approached to see if we were interested. The poor service outweighs the yummy food. read more

Came to Fogo after Brazil's game and I was impressed by the hospitality, food and ambiance. Itamar the manager came to our table and made the difference on our experience that had started very welcoming already with Mr Suresh, greeting us at the door. The Caipirinhas were the best I've had in Seattle so far, Carlos our server and the main Bartender made it PERFECTLY. We had the FILET MIGNON board, a couple of Picanha Burger and more, and everything was perfectly grilled. These Brazilians really know how to make delicious food and drinks. Thank you FOGO team for making our lunch so special. read more

My last experience here was truly terrible. We had to beg every waiter to actually serve us and bring us food. At one point the waitress we had nearly put her elbow in my drink and didn't offer to like switch the straw or get a new one but just left. It took them 40+ minutes to get us our food. (Appetizers came out last??). The only reasonable service we received was the drinks. Then came the mains and the filet mignon we ordered which was completely cooked like a shoe sole on one side and what I can only describe as still mooing on the other. When we tired to send it back the waitress argued with us that's a medium rare and was very adamant even when we told her we have literally been here and order a medium rare and it came out exactly as expected. Then we had to call the manager twice who we could catch by the host stand telling us he will be right with us to never show up. I have been to fogo de chai in various places 10+ times but I don't know what I happening at the Seattle one but it at one point became so and it was comical. read more

Woof! This was a rough one. My family dined here last week and we had a very mediocre experience. We had a 6pm reservation and weren't seated until 7pm, which was insane and not acceptable. They were busy, but maybe don't accept so many reservations if you don't have the tables or staff to support them. The only reason we were even able to get seated at 7pm is because I looked in the dining room, saw an open 2 top and said we would squeeze 3 into the table just so we could get seated. Our toddler was near a meltdown after waiting for an hour so we just needed to sit and eat ASAP at that point. Our server was the only saving grace as overall churrasco service was sloooow. The gauchos barely came by and after a while, we flagged our server down to request certain cuts of meat instead of waiting for them to slowly make their way around. It was a wise decision given we were way past dinner time by then. Meat temperature was all over the place. Some cuts were super rare and others were totally well done. I think we only had some picanha and filet that were cooked perfectly. The lobby was still packed when we left since table turnover and service was slow. Overall, it wasn't the greatest experience so beware! read more

We came here for my daughter's birthday. I had never been here before. Everything from the Service to the yummy cheese bites they serve instead of bread to the salad bar that is ridiculously extensive to the parade of meat choices that come around, every single thing was the most delicious bite you had ever taken. We ate until we were completely stuffed, but we were sure to save room for their amazing desserts.

Have been to this location and given it a couple tries. Unfortunately there has been a repeated pattern of poor service with slow wait times, servers failing to clear dishes off our table when we try and flag them down, and I never chose to speak up about it. Last night's experience was the worst I have ever had. We sat at a table in the bar area, put in our order, and then waited 40 minutes for our food, and had to ask the waitress multiple times where our food was. We watched the table next to us get there, order the same thing, get their food, pay, and leave before we had a bite to eat. I watched someone sitting at a table near us physically have to go to the bar and order their drink. I also saw an employee who had cleared a drink off a customer's table and then proceeded to drink from it...yikes. I ordered the filet mignon board, and confirmed I wanted my steak cooked medium rare. The first batch came out after over 40 minutes and was brown on one side, but completely blue on the other side and looked like it had been hacked at. I then asked them to cook it again to a medium rare, which is the picture below. Again it was blue on one side and well done on the other. At this point we decided to give up and I asked to take it to go. The waitress then tried to say it was a true medium rare, and myself and the people I was dining with were explaining to her that we eat steak on a regular basis and that there is no way this is a medium rare. She kept trying to argue with us and at this point I just told her whatever, I want it to go. I asked the hostess if she could grab the manager to chat, but as she walked to grab him I heard her make a snarky remark about me trying to talk to the manager. I worked in food and retail for five years, and never want to be the person writing a bad review. However, this has been the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant and I will not be coming back. read more

My family and I came to celebrate my mother's birthday. We had an excellent experience at the Bellevue location. Unfortunately this location did not meet our expectations, our server Daniel was very passive-aggressive and dismissive from the start of our sitting. We placed our order 10 minutes ago just for Daniel to come back to say our sides has " run out". We can understand that maybe coming in two hours before closing can alter menu items but we were never told that before hand. When our food came out, it was our sides first another 10 - 15 minutes went by we asked Daniel how much longer for our steak he explain just a few moments, by this time all sides that were brought out were gone, we tried to place more, before we could finish our sentence Daniel said " unfortunately we JUST ran out" the comment felt very fake telling considering that he had more than enough chances to explain the menu situation as closer hours approached. It was a very unfortunate circumstance, I hope our server can better his peoples skills, as having a bad day can come off almost discriminatory. read more

The space itself is really nice, but unfortunately the service didn't match. There was only one server covering the entire area, which caused noticeable delays. After being seated, it took over 10 minutes just to be greeted. We also had mix-ups with our orders, and when the food finally arrived, it came out cold. Overall, there was a general lack of attentiveness throughout the meal. Disappointing given how great the place looks. read more

Terrible experience. Terrible. Reprehensible. Shameful. Disgraceful. Where do I start . . . Among the worst service experiences I have EVER had at a restaurant? Outright rude servers who ignored and scowled at us? The manager who insulted us? Or the fact that we couldn't get our check for 30 minutes? I could elaborate much further, but Ill spare you the rant and end with this: dont spend hundreds of dollars at this place only to be treated like crap. Spare yourself the indignation. Just go somewhere else. read more

I've long frequented the Bellevue Fogo de Chao, but after this experience, I won't be returning to the Seattle location. It's honestly such a letdown; the space is gorgeous, but the ridiculous wait times and unprofessional service completely cheapened the Fogo brand for me. No level of ambiance can cover up unrefined service. We had a 10-top reservation at 7 pm for a friend's birthday dinner but were not seated until after 8 pm. Being delayed by over an hour for a confirmed reservation, especially for a special occasion, was absolutely unacceptable. The hosts were unprofessional and rude when speaking to us and to other parties. While I understand they were likely overwhelmed by the number of frustrated guests, it's still not an acceptable excuse, and the way they spoke to us lowered the "quality" I assume the brand aims to represent. It was also frustrating to receive no meaningful assistance or updates regarding the delay. The host staff later explained that the previous party who "had our table" had not checked out yet and did not want to leave. When I asked whether there was a time limit for tables, they said there wasn't. For a restaurant with an unlimited menu, this seems like a major oversight in reservation management, especially since we saw multiple other parties experiencing similarly long waits. Once we were finally seated, the service improved. The meats came out promptly, the servers were polite, and they made an effort to bring the rare steak I requested. For a failure like this, I would have expected management to offer a comp, but they only offered two small desserts at the end of the meal. Because of the delay, we finished dinner more than an hour later than planned, and we missed our after-dinner plans at a nearby bar. read more

My partner and I are Fogo lovers. We had a reservation in Lynnwood but they had to close the restaurant to do some repairs so we had to move our reservation to the Seattle location. This location was busy and honestly slow. We were seated past our reservation time. I ordered a non-alcoholic drink and it took a long time; we had to follow up and it finally arrived close to THE END of our meal. The sides arrived late as well. We also spent a lot of time waiting for the meat to come to our section of the dining room. Sadly, we did not have a satisfactory experience in this location. We probably won't be back. read more
