    I think it really depends on the management on the day you decide to do business here. Since it is always hit or miss I'm going to settle with 2 stars. Sometimes it's amazing. The to-go options are usually reasonably priced, unless they forget half the order... sometimes the food and service are spectacular, until you organize a 50 person event for dinner on a weekday and they refuse to bring our beef / picanha even if you ask for it multiple multiple times. You get dry chicken. Dry bacon wrapped something and pork. Not beef not steak. We had 50 people and really one server with meat. They would go straight to the first table close to the entrance of the Private room. Run out of meat. Then go back to the kitchen. The expensive drinks came almost immediately. I would strongly suggest Chima for an in Person event. I sat and kept going to the salad bar had to go home and make my own dinner. Never again. You can take a risk of getting the butcher meat / celebration packages catered here but always check the packaging before you leave the premises. I've been a customer either in person or to go for over a decade and ordered at least 50 times. For almost $100 a person with my generous tipping policy. No longer a fan. Not a recommend. Pass. Go. Elsewhere.

    Fogo de Chão delivers an exceptional dining experience from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is bright and airy, with high ceilings and large windows that create an inviting, upscale atmosphere. Isabelle greeted us warmly at the entrance, setting the tone right away. Roger expertly managed our experience, making sure the right cuts kept coming as we enjoyed the Churrasco all you can eat offering. The food was outstanding, perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and abundant. The omelette bar was a unique and welcome touch, with custom omelettes prepared and served directly to the table. Pablo and Lovis were also standout servers, attentive, friendly, and on top of every detail. From start to finish, the service, flavor, and overall experience were top notch. I cannot say enough good things about this location. Highly recommend!

    Came here for the first time this year and was not very impressed with the Service today. The buffet food is very good as they do want you to stock up on the buffet items so that you go slow the meats, but I was not impressed with the meat offerings that they did today and they were not coming that frequently to our table and many times we did found ourselves waiting.

    Today we dined at Fogo which used to be a family favorite for us. We will not be dining here after the worst possible food AND service experience from Khalifa & Samir. Khalifa brought me the wrong drink, forgot our bread basket after saying he was bringing it three times, and didn't bring us any yucca, mashed potatoes, plantains or the chimcurri sauce we asked for three times. Still, we were fine as we understand mistakes happen but then we realized we were being totally ignored. Everytime we'd ask where are the items he would say "oh it's coming," and it NEVER came. Usually this place is defined by its teamwork but if we knew coming here at 8:30pm on a Thursday would mean we'd get the worst possible service and not even the food we paid for we would have opted out. We then had a period of 20 minutes STRAIGHT where we weren't offered anything but lamb chops in the first 5 minutes, which weren't good today. I once again let our server know and 15 minutes went by without anything being brought over. That's when I asked another service for manager intervention and NO manager came for atleast ten minutes. It was not busy in there, as I stated we were being ignored so they could shut down clearly. We started wondering if the kitchen closed and no one told us. The first "manager" came, barely said anything and said sorry the foods coming. By the time the food came out we didn't even want it, after taking a break like that you don't even want to eat anymore. And the meat they brought out was grey like it had the SpongeBob suds. We asked for the check and they gave us the family and friend discount despite none of us even being halfway full & not having received 40 percent of the menu items. Nobody even came back and said anything and the real manager was just doing nothing. The server then took FOREVER with my card and I had to go relieve my baby sitter. When I go ask for my card the manager Samir who ignored me the whole time, even after the issue did not say one word to us but at this moment decided to say "it's all good here." I realized we were intentionally being disrespected and treated as we were upset for nothing? I was completely shocked. Instead of him saying sorry he tells me it's all good, and I have the best chef in the kitchen as if that matters ? The manager was confrontational and showed us no respect. He also said "everything takes a while here," instead of apologizing for his team's shortcomings. Horrible leader, horrible team.

    Listen- I am no newbie to Fogo de Chão. Sadly, this means that I know the difference between good quality service and subpar. Having that been said, I would highly suggest you visit a different location. The management and the servers don't seem very attentive to customer needs or satisfaction! There were so many times food was brought over and utensils were never provided. It was really difficult to tell who was our server and often times the people that helped us. The most appeared to just be surface from the table next to us or even the water servers! Every time we come here, it's to celebrate something either a birthday or Valentine's Day and unfortunately the Tysons corner Fogo has not made our experience excellent for the past two experiences. This is why I feel so confident to say that the Reston location appears to be much more well managed. In the all you can eat Brazilian steak restaurant categories there is so much competition: chima, Fogo, Texas de Brazil and sadly I will be picking differently next time. Our dessert even came out still frozen!!

    The last time I went to Fogo de Chao (NYC location) was over three years ago, and I was looking forward to dining here again at their Tysons location. My friends and I were here for lunch last weekend where we enjoyed the FULL CHURRASCO experience for 65pp. Before we enjoyed the steak, we grabbed some food from the buffet that had ample of salads, cheeses, charcuterie options, and more. I avoided grabbing too much from the buffet because I wanted my fill of steak. I did enjoy the Caesar salad and mushrooms. During the time we were dining, it was pretty crowded, and I don't think we got to try all the types of available meats. Servers will do their best to stop by every table with meats on a large skewer, and if wanted any of it, they would slice off a piece for us. However, I did enjoy both top and bottom sirloin cuts (Picanha and Fraldinha). Both cuts were roasted perfectly and lightly seasoned with rock salt. If I'm ever back at Fogo, I'll make sure to ask for extra pieces of these two. Besides the sirloin, most meats were just OK. There was a garlic steak that was weirdly pasty and unappetizing. The lamb options were incredibly greasy and fatty. I avoided the sausage and chicken since I was here for red meats. Throughout the meal, the servers brought us sides to share, like garlic mashed potatoes and pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread). The pão de queijo had a chewy, mochi like texture -- incredibly addictive with its buttery and savory flavors. To end the meal, we were given a few desserts (cheesecake with strawberry drizzle, chocolate molten cake, and key lime pie) to share. Very sweet desserts, but the chocolate was my favorite. Overall, the food was incredibly heavy and rich, and I don't think I ate my money's worth. After about 10 cuts of all the meats (and sharing some cuts with friends), I thought my stomach was going to implode. It's a nice and luxurious experience, but I personally wouldn't dine at Fogo de Chao more than once every few years.

    Food galore!! We went as part of our company dinner and had a great time! I'm always worried about parking but discovered that valet is only $5 for however long you stay. Inside was very spacious and lively. Service was on point. The salad bar had a lot to choose from - veggies to accompany the meats! I loved the eggplants (3 kinds !). We tried all sorts of meats that were brought around to us - especially rare beef medallions. Not sure about price as our company paid but I'd say definitely worth for the experience.

    I've dined at several Fogo de Chão locations, and unfortunately the Tyson's Corner location had the worst customer service I've experienced. We were a party of 8, and our server completely forgot our alcoholic drinks. After waiting 30 minutes, we had to involve a manager just to get them brought out. We also ordered a seafood tower, and as it was being brought to the table, it collapsed--green-lipped mussels fell onto the floor. Instead of properly remaking the presentation, the staff simply split the remaining items into two bowls and served it that way, which felt careless and unprofessional. Service continued to be inconsistent. I asked another server for a crab cracker three separate times, and she forgot each time. A manager eventually had to step in again to bring it. Food quality was also disappointing. The shrimp on the tower was excellent, but the lobster claws tasted frozen and waterlogged--no one at the table wanted to eat them. When we asked for a discount due to the poor quality, we were told the chef could cook it instead. That resulted in rubbery, overcooked lobster that was even worse. Overall, this experience was frustrating and disappointing, especially compared to other locations. I'd recommend visiting other Fogo de Chão locations like DC or Virginia Beach instead. If you're in the Tyson's area, Chima Steakhouse offers a much better Brazilian steakhouse experience.

    The place looks amazing vary well we got seated quickly the downsides where the service very slow got my lemonade almost when I was going to leave the food was good a little salty for my likening but to make up for the food and drinks being so late we got a free dessert not bad just service wise needs to improve

    Fogo de Chão is a great group experience, with an air of fine dining but still allowing familial comfort in both dress and seating. We came with the intention of eating our fill and enjoying every bite. We were not disappointed. While there were definitely moments when our card was turned green and the service did find its way to us, overall the Brazilian steak house experience was superb.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Second time at the TYSON'S FOGO location for Thanksgiving and so glad we did. Their service is wonderful, everything's fresh (quick to replenish), and the meat just keeps on coming!!! TURKEY was so juicy, goes well with their mashed potatoes, and tried the lentil soup for the first time - delish. They have sauces you can request to go with their meat- chimichurri, horse radish, and a salsa/hot sauce- HIGHLY RECOMMEND mixing all three on your plate. FYI, If you're looking for a Fogo for celebrations and holidays w/outstanding service, TYSON'S is a great option. 10 out of 10 for me! Enjoy.

    You're in for a real treat when visiting this restaurant! The food is superb! Be ready to get the all you can eat meal and enjoy mouth-watering meat as staff go table to table sharing their offerings! There is a salad bar that has cold foods available such as salads, fruit and soups. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out and sure to be a meal to remember.

    The food was amazing, as per usual... but Lilya was the star of the night. Her service was amazing, and made us feel like five star guests!

    Recently, Eater DC published a list of what they considered the best steakhouses in the DMV…read more Randy's made the list. We were looking for a place to have our anniversary dinner. After seeing the list, we chose Randy's. Randy's is a Great American Restaurant, and I must say it's so good to go to a GAR with a menu different from the others. In the past, I've written about how one can go to Coastal Flats and get pretty much the same menu as, for example, Jackson's. We made a reservation for 5 p.m. on a Saturday. We arrived about a half hour early, so we asked if they could seat us right then and there. The people at the host stand said "yes". We were seated at a 4-top booth. Thus, there was plenty of room. The booths, which have mohair seat coverings, were a shade of green and quite attractive. The environment clearly says "upscale steakhouse." Our server was prompt in getting to us and asked if we wanted some water. We chose tap water. He gave us time to look over the menu. We decided to not have any appetizers as we didn't want to get too full. To drink, my husband got a glass of Catena Malbec while I got an Espresso Martini. Our server asked if we wanted some bread. We said "yes". The bread basket had 2 flaky, buttery croissants, plus a slice of white bread and a slice with raisins. For our main course, we both got the 7 oz. filet mignon cooked medium rare. We chose to try two sides. One side was "roasted asparagus" which consists of: "poached egg, parmesan (we asked for no cheese and our request was honored), truffled Bernaise aioli". The second side was "Honey roasted organic rainbow carrots," which were "dusted with candied walnuts". As for the food --- We both thought our steaks were properly cooked, However, my husband said his was on the dry side while mine was just right. We both really enjoyed the side dishes. The asparagus was unconventional, to be sure. Never did I have a poached egg with asparagus. I ate the egg, and it was properly cooked. Looking back, I should have thought to put some salt on it as there was none. The truffled sauce was creamy and added nice flavor. The carrots, to me anyway, were a pleasant surprise. The honey added a nice flavor along with the candied walnuts. They, too, were cooked perfectly. As for being "rainbow" carrots, most were orange, with some white and yellow ones. We had some room for dessert, so we decided to share "Tressa's crispy meringue filled with lemon curd and finished with passionfruit coulis". Since it was our anniversary dinner, a dollop of whipped cream was added to the plate. In that dollop was a lit candle, which was a nice touch. I found the coulis to be on the tart side. The lemon curd was mildly flavored. Service was excellent, though dessert took a while ,to arrive. All in all, a nice splurge and we're glad we came here. (Well...we didn't care for the traffic on Leesburg Pike, but the dinner made it worth the trip).

Located right…read morenext to Patsy's, another Great American restaurant, Randy's is known for its upscale steakhouse experience. The atmosphere: The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting ambiance. There is plenty of spacious booth seating, which made for a comfortable dining experience. The food: My table started with the Crispy Fried Point Judith Calamari to share. I have a peanut and tree nut allergy and didn't initially realize that the dish included pesto. The staff promptly remade the appetizer without the pesto, which I appreciated. However, the interaction left me feeling a bit like an inconvenience based on the tone of the response. For my entrée, I ordered the Patsy's 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was absolutely delicious. I also added a side of the House Steak Sauce, and it paired wonderfully with the steak. I highly recommend trying it if you're someone who enjoys dipping sauces with your steak! The service: Overall, the service was pleasant. The staff was kind, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. While there were a few minor hiccups, I enjoyed my visit and would return to try more of the menu.

    O my! I don't know where to start…read more.. Chris L. was our serve on this trip and he had wonderful recommendations, like: 1. Golden hour cocktail - It was just lovely! It tastes like the best rum punch you've had. It was perfectly sweet, but not too sweet. Beautiful in color. So good I had to sip this one very slowly...like it was the last or only one ever made. DELICIOUS! He also recommended the: 2. Smoked Old Fashioned and it was served to perfection as well. Nice and smoky and smooove. Then...we had the lobster tacos. I don't like lobster. Well, I didn't like lobster until I tried these tacos. To be honest, the lobster tasted like crab legs and the taco was dressed in all fresh ingredients (avocado, charred corn, cilantro, and a fresh flour tortilla) Alright...then next up was the Panko Crusted Sole. It is not filleted tableside because it is pan seared in the kitchen. It was very filling. I think I had three nice-sized filets. It came pretty much with a light and fresh tomato salad. You should do it! Then there was the Crab Cake, which was good. It was in the sweeter end. It was a large portion. It does not have jumbo lump crab meat, but don't let that deter you. Christ also informed us that the "Accompaniments" (sides) could be ordered in half sizes and indeed we - I - had a half size of the Au Gratin Potatoes. They were very smooth, flavorful, and creamy. Also, shouts out to Oscar who held down the water service and the other little things in between that also made this evening even better. The ambiance...I can't wait to head here again on Friday! I went in Saturday evening and the 3 Bears (band) was the live musical entertainment. They were AMAZING! To be honest, I just want to drop in and get a salad and drink...but everything else was so wonderful that $300 later, I'm writing this review. It was worth every penny - and don't forget to tip the band yall! That's it.

First, the au gratin potatoes were tasty and even better when I reheated them the next day. The dumplings first came out cold, and when they were replaced, they didn't have much flavor. I ordered the lemon tart to take home, and I really wish I hadn't. It lacked flavor, and the crust was not crisp. I was very disappointed. Service at the bar was a little hit or miss. The bartenders were very busy, and the waiters would walk by, avoiding any eye contact. Also, the host needs tips on greeting guests. Instead of asking how he could help us or if we had a reservation, he just stated that they were booked all weekend. During our time at the bar, only half of the tables filled up.

The spinach dip is a must-try creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Their salads are fresh, generous, and packed with tasty ingredients, making them more than just a side. And the crab cakes? Absolutely amazing, crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, and a true highlight of the menu. Service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for lunch or dinner with friends or family. Overall, Coastal Flats delivers consistently great food and a pleasant dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back! :::

Service, however, was fantastic, with waiters going above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied with my meal and topping off my water. Seldom have I seen waiters be so attentive and courteous. This establishment is quite large, and the lighting is dim, yet perfectly bright enough! This place is versatile (and large), so you could have a large get-together here, as well as a nice quiet date! Great all-occasion establishment.

    Ocean Paradise is a must-visit, we are fortunate it's next to our neighborhood. Ocean Paradise…read moreabsolutely lives up to its name. A special shoutout to our server, Sandra, she was fantastic. We started with the bang bang shrimp--perfectly crispy with a delicious sweet heat that wasn't overpowering. Easily one of the best appetizers we've had. For my entrée, I had the twin lobster tails they were tender, buttery, and flawless. The seasonal vegetables were fresh and perfectly seasoned. My husband ordered the Connecticut lobster roll, which was loaded with generous chunks of lobster, lightly dressed, and served on a perfectly toasted roll with crispy fries. Simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

    This is honestly such mediocre food, I don't really understand the rave reviews. The service was…read moregreat, and the restaurant was clean, but other than that, there's not much else I liked. We came on a busy Sunday, but everything moved fairly quickly. As a table, we split the fried calamari and Spanish chorizo mussels. Both of which were solid as appetizers. There was nothing too spectacular about them. As my main, I ordered the crab-stuffed salmon which came with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables. The salmon, while the best part of the dish, still left more to be desired. It was a bit dry and I didn't think the sauce was all that flavorful. The vegetables were fine, but the mashed potatoes were simply bad? They had the texture and flavor of instant mashed potatoes, slightly liquidity while being quite bland. I just don't think this place is worth coming back to.

    Thank you Marco for making our experience so welcoming!…read more You were able to give us recommendations and help us decide what to order from the menu.

    I am a Hot N Juicy Crawfish loyalist. This location is terrible. I've eaten at the two original Las…read moreVegas locations over 40 times, and the Connecticut Ave (DC) location 5 times. Something is very off with the (lack of) protein quality at the Falls Church location. The head-on shrimp were smallish - some were 21-25 count, some were 26-30 count, and all had an off-putting *green* poop line. The clams were inedible and tiny. Half of the clams were missing from their shells. They shouldn't be sold. When I showed the poor quality of the clams to the server, they offered a 20% discount - clearly they don't get it. What keeps me loyal to the brand is their signature Hot N Juicy Special sauce (mod: extra garlic). No other Viet Cajun (even in Houston or wherever) comes close to the depth and complexity of the Hot N Juicy Special sauce. For now, the winning move is to order a some sausage in a cup with Hot N Juicy Special medium sauce w/extra garlic TO GO, and sautée it with a bag of defrosted Costco head-on 16-20 count shrimp, or a few dozen live Cherrystone clams from HMart. There is so much potential here. The sauce is boss. Solve your protein problem!

I ordered the shrimp cocktail along with the New Frontier bison New York strip, served with short rib and potato hash, red wine jus, and habanero mustard... and every single bite was perfection. The flavors were rich, balanced, and memorable. To top it all off, the manager personally came over to introduce himself, which added such a thoughtful and welcoming touch to the experience. I'll definitely be back--highly recommend!

    I think it's time to get off this rollercoaster…read more This place used to be good, then it got bad, then it got better. Last night it was awful. We're done. Our dinner last night was disappointing, and it was the worst of the many we've had here. The service was slow. The food was tasteless. We had to delay our departure while they corrected our check. The details are below. Maybe the first clue was when a waiter dropped a butter-coated knife on my back right after I sat down. That would have been a good time to cut our losses, but we persevered. , and it was the worst of We sat for a while before anyone came by to take our drink and appetizer orders. 15 minutes after that, our drinks and four slices of bread arrived. My Trio Manhattan tasted pretty good. (Hold that thought.) 15 minutes after that, the manager stopped by and told us that they had sold the last of the appetizers we ordered and asked us to order replacements, on him. (Hold that thought.) The replacement appetizers arrived. Our beef carpaccio had almost no flavor, except for the drizzle of sauce on top. We ordered our main courses, sides, and another round of drinks. The food showed up, but not the drinks. After asking several waiters, several times, my second Manhattan was delivered. It was warm (probably from sitting on the bar, waiting to be picked up for half an hour) and nowhere near as tasty as the first one. (You can let go of the first thought.) Back to the food... My Boneless Ribeye was boneless and also flavorless, except for the salt they had sprinkled on. The whipped potatoes were OK. The Jumbo Asparagus was asparagus and anything but jumbo. When the check finally arrived, we had to send it back (probably should have done that with much of what had been brought to our table during the meal) because they wanted to charge us for the appetizers that the manager said were "on him." (OK, you can let go of the second thought now.) To me, it's never worth paying for bad food. Being expected to pay a premium for it makes it an even worse value. This place, last night, was a complete waste of money.

    This was our second time at Patsy's American, and we are still fans…read more Second visit: I had the fried buttermilk chicken salad, Nice amount of chicken and fresh salad. My friend got the filet mignon which she enjoyed. Brian was an excellent server, making sure we had everything we need, handled several requests with promptness and professionalism, and had our bread pudding dessert decorated with "Happy Birthday" for my friend. First time: I had the lobster roll which came heaped with lobster chunks. I had to eat the lobster for a while before I could pick it up or risk the lobster falling out - so nice not to be hungry after getting a lobster roll! It came with a generous serving shoestring fries - really good and grilled corn on the cob. We had Aracely and Delilaha, two friendly and wonderful waitstaff, one of whom was being trained and the other had been there for years. My friend told them that it was my birthday, and they came out later with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with happy birthday written in chocolate and a candle in whipped cream. I was also impressed how even a straw wrapper sitting on the table was scooped up by someone coming by. The tall ceilings gave the restaurant an open, airy atmosphere. Next door is the associated bakery where they have cupcakes, pastries, cinnamon rolls, and other lovely treats.
