    You riding down Canal Street.  You see the sign Fogo de Chao.  Stop!   Look! Enter.   It is a Brazilian experience in the heart of NOLA.

    Ky is so sweet. I have written several reviews on Fogo but my experience with Ky made me review before I left this establishment. Because she deserve to get her accolades A refreshing and great experience. ky is just two weeks in and knows what it take to make more than satisfied customers. Ky understood the rewards program and explained some things we were foggy on. On a Tuesday night out to claim our $1 reward, Ky turned it in to a $10 reward experience. In other words our drinks were amazing. Great membership experience if I do say so myself

    We ordered a lot to try and sample

    Food Meat was flavorful but my pieces were kind of dry because the pieces were from the outside and well done I prefer my meat medium rare I couldn't seem to communicate what my preference is Service however was excellent Very attentive Polite Wanted to make things right Everything is clean classic simple not elegant or fancy Very comfortable There is only one ladies room so make sure you go early Overall it was a very good delicious experience to try all the different meat. My only wish is to get more medium rare slices of meat

    New Year's Eve Dinner with amazing friends. The winner was the Garlic Steak, Parmesan Pork and Rack of Lamb. But the real MVP was our hilarious server Mitilde. She was friendly, efficient and just had a great attitude and jokes - the girl got jokes. We all really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and of course, the meats!! My friend also said the ginger soup from the salad bar was delicious. I am a big fan of the little red chili peppers and roasted garlic (also at the salad bar). Perfect with the picanha steak! We left so full we couldn't go out afterwards.

    After dinner, we had to go to another place to get grilled cheese/fries for the person who never got any of the food he ordered....  So sad

    We really have loved fogo de Chao experience in the past so we excited to bring a group of 11 for a dinner celebration. We did not realize it would become the worst dining experiences we ever had. We all arrived on time and were seated . Orders were taken. We all chose a meat dish except for two people. One person that ordered sea bass (trying to avoid red meat) and one vegetarian that ordered baked cauliflower. We were told that the market bar was included in our dish and it will be endless meat of our choice by just flipping the card at the table. The server will come meat to carve at the table. There was also suppose to be cheese bread and banana flambee. We grabbed a dish of the market bar which was decent... but the nightmare began... The server that was supposed to to bring various meat came one time only for the people who ordered picanha. The person who ordered lamp champ did not get any service until an hour into the dinner. The cheese bread also was not available (still in the oven till over an hour and half into dinner..) The person who ordered the sea bass (who avoids eating red meat) got the sea bass almost an hour into the meal. The outside looked beautifully baked but when he cut into the piece, it was translucently raw and cold in the middle.... He decided to change to chicken since he is now super hunger.. Another 40 mins later.. despite asking the server more couple time, the chicken never showed up.... I left the meal with only 2 slices of the meat since they only came once.... They said they should be coming 'soon'.... We asked for the server to speak to the manager. When we got the bill, instead of removing both the fish and chicken dish that we never received, the manager gave us a 'discount'.. since the person had the 'salad bar'!!! It was the worst service, food, and overall experience we ever had. We have been to many Fogo de Chao's. Would not recommend anyone to come to this location. Even though we shared our experience during the meal, the service never changed and the food ever arrived. The manger never apologized nor offered us any discount on all the other orders despite the fact the unlimited table side meat carving experience came "ONCE". While we were there The only picture we had was the grilled cheese and fries we got the person who never got any food while he was at the restaurant..

    Second time here and it just keeps getting better! The food was amazing -- every bite was full of flavor. But what really makes this place special is the staff. Coco is absolutely incredible! So friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great time. Huge shoutout to Coco, Johnny, and Ivy for the warm, welcoming vibes. Can't wait to come back again!

    My First Brazilian Steakhouse Experience -- A Carnivore's Dream This was my first-ever Brazilian steakhouse experience, and I had it at Fogo de Chão in New Orleans during my second visit to the city since 2000. These photos were taken in 2022, and the night was nothing short of unforgettable. Once I flipped the card to green, it was game on--servers arrived one after another with skewers of perfectly grilled meats. The picanha and ribeye were absolute highlights: juicy, tender, well-seasoned, and carved right at the table. The sides were just as memorable: 1. Sweet plantains - warm, caramelized, and comforting. 2. Polenta fries - crisp on the outside, soft inside, lightly dusted with cheese. 3. Mashed potatoes - smooth, rich, and topped with scallion oil. The service was fast, polished, and friendly. Everything flowed effortlessly, and the atmosphere had a festive yet refined energy that made the whole experience feel special. If you're a carnivore (like me ), this place is paradise. Fogo de Chão isn't just a restaurant--it's a full-on culinary performance centered around flavor, fire, and tradition. Highly recommended for meat lovers, first-timers, or anyone looking for a special night out.

    The two of us in front of Fuego de Chão on Canal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana!

    The food was okay, our waitress did the best she could, but our drinks didn't come to our table until we were 3/4 away done with our meal! Also the side dishes arrived after we had finished eating! Everything was delicious, but the bloody Mary was horrible. I don't think the bartender knew how to make a bloody Mary. It was a very nice restaurant and the charcuterie board as I call it rather than a salad bar was very delicious.

    The Food / Premium Cut were decent in flavor. Presentation of the Meats were really good but the service at the tables needs to improve drastically to improve the overall restaurant service.. our wait time for drinks, ordering food, and replenishments were very long..is tainted the overall experience on a special personal day.. second guessing the overall restaurant pick.. 6/10 rating frfr!

    never been there for lunch specials, only for special occasions-dinners. Contact the restaurant

    Yes, there is valet parking available behind the restaurant through the J.W. Marriott hotel. There is a discounted rate for parking if you're dining in the restaurant, so save your receipt, if so.

    Are the steaks (served tableside) pretty rare, or will they do them, say, medium-well?

    Most are served medium rare, but if you ask them to cook it a certain way like medium, well, etc, they will bring it back and cook it more for you. You can also ask them to sear the outside more if its a cut piece already.

    Do men require jackets?

    No. It's pretty casual.

    Does everyone in your party have to be present before you are seated?

    Yes they do. Everything is about timing.

Rich, layered, and well-balanced with fresh elements that worked together on the plate. For entrées, we had a variety of cuts, including the Australian Wagyu, ribeye, butcher's cut, and lamb chops. The Wagyu stood out immediately. High quality, great sear, and finished tableside, which added to the overall experience without taking away from the food itself. Each steak was cooked precisely to temperature and full of flavor. The lamb chops paired with carrots and brussels were well executed and balanced. The sides complemented the meal well and did not feel like afterthoughts. You can also see their in-house dry aging setup, which speaks to the level of detail they put into their steak program. It shows in the final product. The drinks were solid across the board. The Old Fashioned and bourbon selections paired well with the meal and matched the food's quality. Service by Noelle was attentive and responsive throughout the night. Everything flowed well, and we were taken care of without feeling rushed or hovered over. This is not a casual dinner spot, but for a celebration or a night where you want a full experience, Doris Metropolitan absolutely delivers.

It started the moment we walked in. Glancing at the hostess, asking "OK to sit at the bar?", getting a nod, sitting down. An experience we've done in hundreds of restaurants. (We had reservations for a table but often prefer the bar.) The bartender -- whom we believe was named Mike -- started off his interaction with new customers as follows. "Did you check with the hostess?" I nodded in the affirmative, apparently that wasn't enough. "Check with the hostess", he ordered. I got up, went over the hostess stand, and confirmed, this time so "Mike" could see, that it was OK for us to sit at a half-empty bar. (In retrospect, we should have gotten up and walked out immediately, but it was late and even in the Quarter most places were closing for dinner.) You see, Mike clearly didn't want to be working that night. He was rude, inattentive, and condescending. And not just to us, to everyone seated at the bar. Slow making drinks, slow asking for orders, seething contempt for his customers. One time we asked to see a drink menu to decide on a new drink, he said, and this is a direct quote, "Do you want to see it or do you want to review it?" Mike's behavior was clearly well-known to the staff, because another staff member, who was off-shift and next to us at the bar, witnessed this behavior and arranged for a free dessert on the house (classy move on her part). She confided in us that Mike's pretty much always like that, but that he's a buddy of the general manager so seemingly un-fireable. Well, here's hoping someone reads this and thinks the better of Doris Metropolitan, or at least sitting at the bar. Unless you think service you'd get in a Paris tourist trap cafe is appropriate for a high-end steakhouse, you're better off spending your hard-earned money elsewhere.

Now I'm sure the hostess is accustom to people bringing in their pets and lying that they're service dogs, so she told me that we had to sit outside. That's obviously illegal, we got the manager involved, the manager quickly understood that we weren't bringing a pet and got us sat inside. We ordered drinks, they took a long time to come out. I asked the grade of the Wagyu on the Manhattan steak, and the server told me it was "6 or 12 or something" Wagyu obviously comes A1-A5, so I asked him to go check. He came back and said it was A5. Not knowing Wagyu grades, and the drinks taking a while was the only place the service was lacking, he was otherwise delightful. $70 bucks seemed kind inexpensive for an A5, but I had never actually had one before so I ordered it medium rare. We ordered the seafood platter, that was fine, the breading on the shrimp was kinda soggy. Main courses comes out, and my medium rare steak was literally back black and blue. It was still cold in the center. I'm not one to send food back, but I couldn't eat it. Sent it back. It comes back quickly... too quickly, still way under cooked. Sent it back a 3rd time. At that point the rest of my family was done eating and I asked for it to just be removed instead. Which they did, and they boxed it up for me anyway in addition to comping all of our drinks, which was of course very nice. I ended up eating that steak for lunch the next day, and IF it was Wagyu, it was A1, there is a 0% chance that had the marbling to be an A5, I've had prime New York's from CostCo that had better marbling. So I give them 2 stars, the server had some learning to do, been there, but was very nice. They made up for their errors on the bill, I appreciate that, but we still went there with higher expectations. 2 stars is kind.

From the moment we sat down, the staff set the tone--professional, genuinely friendly, and impressively efficient. We began with a trio of starters that showcased both richness and restraint. The foie gras torchon was silky and indulgent, perfectly complemented by fruit confiture and warm, toasted Bellegarde Bakery bread--a classic pairing done right. Marinated crab claws, dressed in a lively chili vinaigrette, delivered a bright, briny punch, while the pickled pineapple and jalapeño chips added just the right balance of sweetness and heat. A cucumber salad rounded out the starters, crisp and refreshing, acting as a welcome palate reset before the mains. For entrées, comfort and finesse shared the plate. The confit chicken thighs were meltingly tender, paired with ham-braised greens swimming in a tangy apple cider vinegar broth. A lovely Dijon cream tied everything together, adding richness without overwhelming the dish. Equally memorable was the half smoked duck, beautifully executed and deeply flavorful, served over a smooth pumpkin-sweet potato purée. The cherry bourbon glaze brought a subtle sweetness, while the pepitas added texture and a nutty finish. Dessert was the perfect exclamation point on an already wonderful meal: a slice of hot chocolate cheesecake, decadent and deeply chocolaty, crowned with toasted marshmallow fluff that leaned just enough into nostalgia without crossing into excess. Toups Meatery continues to deliver thoughtful, soulful cooking with polish and heart--comfort food elevated, served by a team that clearly knows what they're doing.

    I had dinner at Sofia last night with a party of three and our bill came out to around $400 after…read moretip. Before getting into it, I want to acknowledge that this is a family style concept. That's clearly communicated when you're greeted, so naturally it sets the expectation for shareable portions. We started with the ricotta and meatballs. Overall, portions felt on the smaller side, but the ricotta, especially at $18, was honestly a bit shocking in size. When we asked about it, a server jokingly said "inflation." I get it, but still. The two guys I dined with come here often and were actually the ones pointing out that portions have seemed to shrink. For mains, we each ordered a pasta. One was a server recommended agnolotti with crab, corn, and roe. It was decent, but the broth felt a bit too loose and could've used more depth and richness. That said, the crab portion was generous, the pesto was great, and the red sauce pasta was solid. We also ordered two pizzas, hands down the highlight of the meal. Easily the best thing we had. One small but off putting detail, the red pepper flakes were served in an open jar rather than a shaker. It made me question how many hands had been in it, especially since it appeared to have been reused from another table. Not the most sanitary presentation. Dessert was a strong finish. Panna cotta, tiramisu, and olive oil cake were all fresh and delicious. Drinks included a cocktail for me and beers plus an espresso martini for the table, all fine. Service wise, things started okay but felt rushed toward the end. We even mentioned we were still picking at food and what seemed to be a manager still cleared plates from the table. The tables themselves are also very small, which doesn't help when you're doing family style dining. Our server appeared to be training someone but never introduced them, which made things feel a bit awkward. Also, when resetting silverware, it felt rushed and a little careless, almost tossed onto the table rather than placed. Overall, the experience was good but not great. The food had its highlights, but portion sizes versus price and some service missteps held it back. 6/10, and honestly it reminded me why I hadn't felt the urge to come back before.

    Nice upscale experience on Bourbon street. Service here is exceptional and really makes you feel…read morespecial, while also feeling like you're right at home. Loved the ambiance inside as the bar is very lively and decorated, while the dining room is more classy and elegant. Food here is super good, though the menu is pricy so keep that in mind. Potato soufflé app was a hit! Perfect appetizer in my opinion and would definitely recommend you try it when you go. As for recommendations that you must try when you go, the crab au gratin was one of the best dishes I've ever had!!! I shared a bite with those at my table and every person just had that look of pure bliss on their face (like the food critic in Ratatouille after he took the first bite). It was absolutely phenomenal and you must try it, though I'd recommend you share as it might induce a stage 5 food coma if you put that bad boy down yourself. I also ordered the Veal chop which was delicious! It was cooked about medium with a nice sear, was flavorful, and was a pretty decent size. We didn't get dessert as we were all stuffed, but I'm sure they're tasty as well. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would highly recommend you check this place out -- whether you're a local or someone visiting. I know I'll be back the next time I go, probably to try that crab au gratin again as I'm still thinking about it weeks later!!

    Food was as good as always. It's the service that was disappointing. They were having a party in…read morethe back for the Kentucky Derby and they cared more about those guests than all of us in the main dining. Stay away if there's another event at the restaurant; otherwise, it will be wonderful.
