Chocolate lava cake
Mary Y.

Delicious dessert, a good place to go for a lot of meat, but i recommend not going during holidays because it is super packed! Something i wish they explained better is the option when choosing to do the all you can eat. My husband and i went with the little more expensive which includes lobster tail and bone marrow with toast. It is a one and first time ordering, afterwards it is an additional charge. If that was the case I would have just went with the regular. But that's beside the point, it is still good. When it is busy , not all the meat will get to you.

Came here with a work group to celebrate. The staff were a little overwhelmed but the food made up for everything. Soooo good and was able to share with the table. Fogo is a Minneapolis classic. Not my first or last time coming here

Nice restaurant! Great if you're a meat lover. Good for hosting events! Service was wonderful! Was there for an event! Food: We had apps- Cheesebread, fruit, yuca fries, spinach dip, bread, a few types of meat ***Everything was tasty! Can be expensive, but good quality meat! Has great happy hour- drinks and food! Plenty of seating, only a few TV's Parking: Valet, metered street parking and ramps. We parked at Ramp A= $25 on an event day. Walking distance to Fogo- maybe a block or two. There was a ramp just around the block that was $10.

Food was so good! Best burger I've had in a long time. Service was great but it was lunch time so it was not busy at all.

Absolutely wonderful service. By far the most attentive servers I have ever had, and not just for the table-side meat service. My water glass was never less than half full, and they cleared plates like machines. Everyone was friendly and willing to answer questions. The inside space is expansive, and can be used by groups of all sizes, or a casual group looking to take advantage of the bar. We chose the Full Churrasco experience for our first visit to Fogo, which means we started at the gorgeous buffet to sample salads, vegetables, stews, soups, cold meats and cheeses. Then we came back to the table to flip our "we want food" token to the green side, starting a parade servers carrying different hot foods (beef, chicken, pork, cheese, pineapple). You either use your tongs to grab a slice, or the server will use their knife to place a chunk on your plate. (see the photos) My favorite items from the Churrasco service were the Bottom sirloin, the sausage, the parmesan pork, and the pineapple (honestly so good). We sipped on Brazilian limeade (it has condensed milk in it) and ate sides of mashed potato, yucca fries and gluten-free cheese bread while the different hot food walked by. We had three different sauces for the meat- chimichurri, horseradish and peppers (though it really didn't even need it). though we were very full at that point, we ended with a piece of chocolate mousse cake. An excellent and extremely unique dining experience. Definitely worth trying at least once! I need to go back to try their cocktails and plated menu.

UPDATE: The owner send this nice email. BUT, after sending my phone number NOBODY contacted me yet. I guess they are not serious about this .... NOT GOOD! We have not been here for several years and thought it was time to go again. Friday evening and the place was pretty packed. That being said the place has lost it charm, it now fells more like a cheaply all you can eat buffet place. Certainly not as formal as it used to be. The price is also high compare to other steak houses in town, so not worth it. The meat was a little bit hit and miss but overall not to bad.

Molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream

Did the indulgent churrasco over lunch as a solo treat. They are quick to bring over multiple plates of fried goodies to fill you up including yuca fries, plantain and these delicious buttery mashed potatoes? I also opted for the lobster tail and molten lava cake. I got plate after plate of delicious beef and lamb with a few Parmesan chicken and pork pieces being allowed in as well. It's all you can eat and it's done extremely well. I also LOVE the black beans you can get from their self serve food bar. My only complaints if I had some were how rare the meat is cooked. I'd prefer medium or higher but meat here skews heavily on the rare to medium rare side. I always ask for the most done parts but parts of the experience were still mooing on my plate. I've also previously had their caramelized cheesecake before and I thought it was nasty but that's just my opinion as a cheesecake lover. Was it expensive? Yes, it was about 100 after tip for their most expensive offering. Would I come again? Absolutely.

Went to Fogo De Chao for happy hour and it was a great experience! I honestly hadn't known they had happy hour, but loved being able to dine in without having to indulge in the full dinner experience. The happy hour menu has quite a few options including different meats, yucca, crab cakes, and more. I unfortunately did not get to take as many pictures because the food was just that good! Flavorful, fulfilling, and some of the tastiest food I've had in a while. Our service was great and they checked on us frequently. I love how open and spacious the space is, so although there are lots of folks dining in it never felt too crowded. I would highly recommend checking out their happy hour!

Can I make a reservation for 2 for dining in on Tuesday?

Yes online. But first sign up your email with them so you'll get their $25 off dinner buffet promo code. I haven't paid full price in 8 years going there. They send out the promo code about 3 or 4 times a year to my email. It's been going downhill… 

Does the Brazilian brunch have the same meat selection as dinner? What are the differences between the two?

I've been there a few times and I can definitely say it's different, It felt like the meat selection shrinks for lunch.

I had literally the best Wagyu steak in my entire life. I ordered mine medium well. Their glazed carrots are absolutely super soft, but not too mushy and their glaze was absolutely delicious. I love how they char their broccoli a little bit. Their sauces for the steaks are absolutely incredible. I got the chili chimichurri and it was absolutely to die for I drizzled it on the vegetables and on my steak and I absolutely loved it. I came here with my next-door neighbor, and we both got steaks and she absolutely loved love the glazed carrots. She also got the Wagyu however it was a different cut. It was the sirloin and hers was tall and thick. She thought it was absolutely incredible. She got it medium rare. I can't wait to come back because I wanna try all their different steaks. They have so many to choose from. The service here is absolutely spectacular. They are so relaxed and they know the menu so well and they really love being there. This place is just an absolute relaxing atmosphere and they really care about your experience that you have dining here.

3rd review of course. Everything was delicious…read more The French fries were hot, soft, and crispy. The ketchup has a hint of curry flavor that elevates it from the norm. Meatballs were warm!! Definitely a good ratio of meatball to sauce. The steak was hitting the spot, I believe it only comes medium rare. Always a good portion of potatoes. The chocolate brownie was crispy and crunchy. Not my preferred but might be nice for someone else. A generous triangle was given.

When…read morewe arrived, we quickly realized valet parking was the only practical option since there was virtually no street parking nearby. Just a heads-up: valet is $17. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a historic building that was once a luxury hotel and is now a co-op. One thing we didn't know beforehand is that P.S. Steak has two distinct dining spaces. We were seated in the lounge, which is bright, stylish, and elegant, while the steakhouse dining room has a darker, more intimate, classic steakhouse atmosphere. The service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was professional and knowledgeable, making the experience feel polished and welcoming. For drinks, we ordered the Southern Hemisphere (a refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail with the perfect balance of tart and sweet) and the 1929 Sour. From the Restaurant Week menu, we started with the dry-aged meatballs, which were surprisingly light and flavorful. For the entrée, we had the smoked salmon risotto. Unfortunately, it wasn't our favorite--it felt a bit bland and lacked the depth of flavor we were expecting. We also ordered a few items from the regular menu, and these ended up being the highlights of the meal. The lobster roll was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The asparagus was another standout, cooked to the perfect balance of tender and crisp with a beautiful char that added great flavor. To finish, we shared the hot fudge sundae, which was rich, indulgent, and the perfect ending to dinner. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience, especially the impeccable service, elegant ambiance, and standout dishes from the regular menu. We'd definitely come back for the luxe atmosphere--and next time, we'll be ordering one of their steaks!

We arrived around 5:30 p.m., about 30 minutes after opening. The room was dark, cramped, and louder than the small space can really support. The playlist was distracting, and the kitchen staff audibly singing along did not help the atmosphere. Service was well-intentioned but missed the mark. Our server could not tell us whether the main component of a dish was cucumber, fennel, both, or something else, which is a basic menu question at this price point. Timing was off throughout the meal, so if you are expecting polished, well-paced service, I would look elsewhere. The food was the biggest disappointment. I could see an attempt at creativity, but the dishes felt more confused than composed. Several flavors landed at extremes: too sweet, too spicy, or too heavy on fishy funk, without enough balance to pull them together. It felt like "fusion" without a clear point of view. Parking is also difficult in this part of the North Loop, so plan for a ramp, valet, or extra time and money. I would not return for happy hour, dinner, a hosted meal, or a special occasion.

Before we even got there, we could smell this place, a GREAT sign! The hostess was lovely and guided us to our seats right away! The first thing I noticed was the decor is slightly dark and moody! Perfect for a romantic date! Plenty of candles flickering on each table! The kitchen is open, so it was fun to watch! Our only complaint is that the tables are fairly close together and a 2 person table is so small! It kept us from ordering more food, because there would be no place for it to go! Our server was nice. She originally forgot our drinks but admitted it and got them right away. We appreciated the honesty. Our water glasses were always full, we were given wet naps after our delicious wings and plates were taken promptly! Food: We each started with a drink. I got the banana bread old fashioned which may just be my favorite cocktail! My boyfriend got a beer and said it was "ok." We started with the truffle fries and smoked wings in the flavor rum chili. Holy moly! Both of those were spectacular!!! The ranch was just ok, I would probably get the blue cheese next time. Truly though, you don't need to dip these wings, the flavors are amazing on their own!! For our main course, we got the 14oz New York strip steak cooked to a perfect medium and the scallops! Both were out of this world! Very well done! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone! It is truly a gem in the cities!

My wife and I had never been to--or even heard of--Baldamar, so when our friends invited us to…read moreRestaurant Week there, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. From the hostess who graciously held the doors open for us in the 95° heat to our incredible server, David, everything was outstanding. We started with cocktails. I had what may have been the best bourbon Old Fashioned I've ever tasted, and my wife enjoyed a wonderfully refreshing cocktail (whose name I, unfortunately, can't remember). We began our meal with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Normally, I'm not much of a Brussels sprouts fan, but I happily cleaned the plate. My wife and I shared the 12-ounce filet mignon, cooked medium rare, and it was absolute perfection. Chef's kiss. David recommended a bottle of wine to pair with our steak. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. But wait... there's more. As incredible as that wine was with the filet, it somehow paired even better (yes, I know that sounds impossible) with the slice of heaven they call chocolate cake. I'm sure it has a much fancier name on the menu, but "slice of heaven" seems more accurate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I have a tendency toward hyperbole. If there were ever a time to lean into it, this is it. THIS MEAL WAS FANTASTIC. THE AMBIANCE WAS PERFECT. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THE COMPANY WAS DIVINE.

The Caesar salad has officially been added to my regular rotation. The jammy egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, yolky center that was still easy to slice. The Parmesan crisps were thoughtfully sized, adding great texture without being so large they scraped the roof of your mouth. The salad was evenly dressed, making every bite flavorful. Overall, excellent food, outstanding cocktails, and warm, attentive service. I'll definitely be back.
