    The food was very good, the service was a little slow but all in all good. The place has different vibe with the whole meat comes to table at random times. The crab cake appetizer was very good. Dessert was tasty. Will try again, now that I know how it works.

    Fogo de Chao is exactly what you expect from a Brazilian steakhouse. Amazing meat selections - some cuts like the flank, sirloin & garlic steak were flavorful tender, and cooked well. There were a couple cuts like the Parmesan pork that were dry. And the bacon wrapped filet that was overcooked. The salad bar was fresh and well stocked with a wide variety. All the meats paired with the unlimited salad bar, you can definitely get your money's worth. The space itself is upscale and lively, making it a good option for group dinners or special occasions. Service was attentive and nice. However I noticed a few things... The servers carrying the meat weren't the most customer friendly. Overtly quiet, barely smiling or talkative. The manager scored major points for taking the time to visit our table, introduce himself and make sure we were taken cared of. However the manager did proceed to have a meeting with his servers near all the dinners. Overall, Fogo de Chão is great. Worth visiting if you're craving Brazilian BBQ or dining with a group.

    Sooo sooo good! I took my father here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. How can you go wrong with all you could eat steak. I will say this location is much better than the Providence location. We never had to wait for anything.

    Last time we were in Boston, we decided to go to Fogo de Chao for their all day Bar Fogo. I think it's a great deal....we get to try many different little things for as little as $6 each. There were three of us and we got many items to share....namely the Brazilian Empanadas (Flaky pastry, seasoned Picanha, onions, chimichurri aioli), the Bone (large Beef Rib with chimichurri sauce), the Lamb lollipops, the Filet mignon board and the Saucy Legs (Fire-roasted chicken, hot Brazilian BBQ, Pão de Queijo crispies, dedo de moça peppers). All of them were excellent. My favorite was the Bone and the Empanadas. Service was professional and attentive. This is a great option versus the full rodizio which is way more expensive per person ($68 dinner or $50 for lunch).

    Good selection of items on buffet which are overall tasty but there are mostly fillers that you should not fill up on but to just help supplement the main entree which is all the different cuts of meat they'll bring to table side and carve for you. Fruits to end the meal was good - sweet blood oranges and pineapples. The selection of meat was decent though some cuts weren't as good - chewy, dry, or just overall hard that I didn't even bother with once it was on my plate. I liked the ribs, sirloin, and chicken the best. A special we had was the grilled cheese with hot honey. This was delicious! Too bad they ran out after we had one serving.

    Had a lovely dinner here. This is a Brazilian restaurant that offers an all you can eat experience. To start, you get fresh pao de queijo. Then they bring around unlimited meats and give you a slice to try. Your table also has a flip card with a yes and no side to let the staff know when you're ready for more. It ranges from steak to chicken to lamb, all cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. They ask you which style cut you want, so I usually ask for medium or medium rare and it never disappoints. There is also a bar to get items such as vegetables, fruits, and other side dishes. The Brazilian potato salad is my favorite. Plus they brought around a plate with mash potatoes, plantains, and fried yucca which was cool. We also each got a glass of red wine which paired nicely with the meats. Definitely come to this place hungry and pace yourself because it's easy to get full fast. It's a classy space as well right in Boston, so it's perfect for date nights or special occasions.

    Nice window view

    Great buffet and the servers are very active bringing a variety of beef, chicken, lamb, and pork to the tables. I am a big fan of this location and a regular. My only complaint would be using the holiday gift cards here. They have a bar code on them, but the waiter or waitress have to manually enter the numbers. This takes time and seems a bit weird since the numbers are under a bar code.

    Is the place wheelchair accessible?

    The special elevator always seems to be broken, but wheelchair access is possible through the entrance lobby of the hotel.

    Is there a rooftop bar here and do you have to put reservations?

    There is no rooftop bar. I highly recommend you make a reservation.

    Is this place all you can eat? Do they offer keto friendly food?

    DEFINITELY all you can eat! We always leave stuffed! And make sure to have some of the little cheese rolls, too-- they're amazing! And there's a huge salad bar and it's mostly meat on the skewers, so I'd say keto-friendly for sure as well. Enjoy!

    Do I need to dress up?

    It's usually a range: some people dressed up for a "special meal" and other in jeans. I wouldn't recommend going in anything less casual, though-- no beach wear or super casual. You don't need to worry too much, but I always think it's fun to…

    How much is dinner?

    It's $52.50 for the full experience you can also substitute the meats for a Caspian sea bass one serving only for the same $52.50. Restaurant week is coming they have some specials for $38 it includes almost everything they just illuminate a few of… 

    Is there a difference in menu between brunch and dinner?

    Saturday and Sunday lunch/brunch is the same pricing as dinner. However Monday-Friday brunch/lunch is much less on $38.00 for the full experience rather than $52.50 and only $15.00 for just the market table rather than $25.00… Anytime you go at all… 

    So the Fogo Churrasco experience is all you can eat meat and side dishes? Is it all you can eat for lunch and dinner?

You're most likely be sharing a table with other diners. The mussels in a spicy flavorful red sauce were cooked perfectly. They only came with 2 small pieces of grilled bread.

We tried a variety of oysters, cocktail shrimp, and the razor clams which we heard were amazing. All I'm gonna say is, I would have been annoyed if I waited in line for hours for the items we got. The cocktail shrimp was decent - it was a good size, juicy, and delicious. The razor clams were a miss. Rubbery and too many other things in the dish overshadowing the clams. We got two different kinds of fresh clams which my husband said were okay. I'm not a fan of fresh clams. The oysters were good, but after having been to Row 34, I can't justify standing in line for oysters in a place that doesn't have much else worth trying.

The calamari, squid ink aglio olio pasta, and clam pasta have been my go-to orders since I found out about Daily Catch a few years back. My favorite bite has to be some of their bread dipped in the delicious garlic oil from the squid ink pasta with a bit of the garlic chunks and squid bits. It truly brings me joy. My friend recently recommended I try their shrimp scampi, either as an appetizer or as a pasta dish. This will definitely become part of my regular order - the shrimp are so plump and they're smothered in this savory, rich, garlicky sauce that is simply to die for. All in all, I can't recommend this place enough. Can't speak to their non-seafood options, but when it comes to seafood pasta, there is absolutely no competition.

    Service 5/5 -Long lines but you order and pay at the…read morecounter, get your food then take to table of your choice. The wait did not feel long. I recommend just staying nearby the counter after you pay, food comes out pretty quickly and they call your number. Food 5/5 -Large lobster roll with butter, it doesn't come with chips but you have the option to pay to add them. I personally did not need anything else because the lobster roll was fulfilling enough. Lobster meat was fresh and bouncy, didn't really taste any extra seasoning and it didn't need any because of how fresh the lobster tasted. Expensive but I think it's forgivable as a place frequented by tourists, expect to need a nap afterwards. Would love to try the cold mayo version here someday. Ambiance 5/5 -No frills courtyard, plenty of seating available and it's right next to the harbor. They also had a section of indoor dining if weather is bad outside.

    Very good, extremely fresh lobster…read more We got the regular size rolls warm with butter, while they looked smaller- they were more than filling. We didn't love the hot dog bun, it would have been so much better on a traditional brioche bun. We also got the lobster Mac n' cheese and it was FULL of lobster, seemed like an almost even ratio of lobster/pasta. Flavor wasn't anything special, but was nice to try. It was $$$$ for just 3 items but the lobster truly is great quality. Staff was nice and efficient. Place is incredibly small inside but tons of additional seating outside.

    Little Whale easily clinched a spot as one of my favorite meals while visiting Boston last week…read more Service was quick, lovely, and definitely tourist-friendly. My table wasn't inside, but I loved the outdoor seating options since it was sunny the late afternoon/evening I came. After so much walking and shopping, I wanted a hearty meal. Every bite was so satisfying. The whole belly ipswich clam plate was briny which was wonderful on its own. But that tartar sauce certainly added to the dish. Normally if I get fried seafood, I love a good crunch - but the light breading of these clams made it so that the natural umami of the clam bellies shined through - this made for a very well-executed dish. Be sure to order the house Pilsner, a clear hit on the menu.

    We primarily came in for clam chowder, since we saw it was a popular spot for that in Boston. We…read moresat at the bar, which was nice. Decent décor and a lively vibe here. Menu is mostly raw bar style, which is fine for most, but not quite our style, as we don't do oysters. But we knew this coming in, so no surprise. We started with shrimp cocktail... It came out quickly, looked great, the shrimp were huge, and this was very tasty! Fresh and nice! Next up was the clam chowder and it was good, not the best we've had, but good. After that we went with their fish & chips - This was huge when it came out! The breading was decent, but slightly too moist on the inside. The fish was very good inside it. The fries were outstanding, like old school McDonald's fries. Overall, nice visit.
