The drinks are tasty, though a bit on the sweet side. Tried the pao and the pulled pork that came with it was a little weird. The codfish was delicious! The smash burger was small, but also very juicy and tasty. I would say it was like 2 sliders. The beets were good but they only came with three so a bit on the small side as well. Overall great place for happy hour. Will be back!

Unfortunately, we forgot his name, but he was extremely polite and helpful. We were celebrating my father-in-law's birthday with a group of six, and making a reservation was definitely the right move, as it's highly recommended for larger groups. We did the full Churrasco experience, and the meat was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They also have a salad bar, and everything there was made fresh and tasted amazing. We had the lava cake, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Feeling hungry after a nice stroll at the MoMA? Well, directly across the street from the museum is…read moreFogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse. Just because it's a steakhouse in mid-town Manhattan doesn't mean you have to break the bank. Fogo has one thing on the menu that should fit the bill: Market Table & Feijoada Bar. OYCE for $20 if you come during their lunch hours which are 11:30-3pm during weekdays and 11:30-2pm on weekends. The salad bar was splendid. I must have sampled at least 90% of their offerings. Everything was so colorful, delish and healthful, making me relatively guilt-free while committing gluttony. There were so many recipes I rarely have the opportunity to experience, yet here they were - all at the same bar. I particularly enjoyed the roasted zucchini, pickled tomato, greens with roasted pears, and persimmons. For those who require animal protein, smoked salmon and chicken salad were available, as well as pork at the Feijoda bar. Speaking of which, I wasn't a fan of that section. The Feijoda was too salty while the lentil soup was too bland. The ambiance was elegant and staff were professional. There were a few issues for me personally: none of the staff replenishing the food spoke English, they had to correct my bill twice, and the person who answered my call was scripted and mechanical - I might as well talk to a bot.

This was my first time trying a Brazilian steakhouse rodizio style. The salad bar was packed with…read moreoptions. If you're wondering about seafood, the only seafood option was the fish stew from the salad bar. My favorites from the salad bar were the potato salad and the Brussels sprouts. The complimentary cheese bread (very mochi like) was also very good. As a beginner, I definitely made the mistake of filling myself up too much at the salad bar and should have saved more room for the meat. My favorite cuts were the beef sirloin and the chicken. Some of the other cuts were just okay and a bit tough to chew but still flavorful. Next time, I will definitely prepare better by not filling up so much at the salad bar! Highly recommend, beef sirloin, chicken, and tiramisu!

My cousin was visiting the US for the first time, and I wanted to offer a memorable dining experience. What we received instead was shockingly poor service. From the moment we sat down, it was obvious the server had no interest in serving us. His attitude was cold, dismissive, and unnecessarily rude. He appeared once to ask which side we wanted, delivered with irritation, and then vanished. When we tried to interact or ask questions, he acted as if our presence was an inconvenience. The behavior felt less like hospitality and more like we were asking for a favor ! as if he were paying for our meal rather than being paid to serve it. A reminder may be needed: servers are not doing charity work, and customers paying premium prices deserve basic respect. The entire mood of the evening was ruined. For a restaurant that charges what it does, this level of service is unacceptable and embarrassing. High prices do not excuse low standards. For comparison, Fogo de Chão consistently delivers professionalism, warmth, and respect ! everything this restaurant failed to provide. If management is comfortable allowing staff to treat guests differently based on who they are, that speaks volumes. Disappointing, overpriced, and poorly managed. I will not be returning.

We didn't have reservations, but luckily managed to grab a table just before the rush. We started with the Brazilian cheese breads, which were absolutely delicious--warm, chewy, and super satisfying. For our mains, I had the steak and my husband ordered the chicken dish, and both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was delicious, and the experience overall felt cozy and welcoming. One thing to note--the restaurant is small, and we saw quite a few walk-ins get turned away, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We'll definitely be back!

But, don't tell me at 9:30 while we're in the midst of dinner, "I'll have to see if we can still make you a drink, I think the bartender stopped for the night." Also, if you want us out AT 10 p.m., then bring the check before 9:55 and then remind us we "have to leave in a few minutes!" I had wanted to order dessert and or coffee, but God knows I would have gotten that at that time anyway. Still love this place but when I'm spending $350+ for 3-people, a little leeway goes a long way! Will definitely be going back but with a little less patience.

I ordered the Bife a Cavalo, a classic steak and eggs dish, and it was absolutely delicious. Simple, well executed, and very satisfying. They also offer feijoada and other traditional Brazilian dishes, which is great to see, especially in NYC. You can tell the menu stays true to Brazilian flavors rather than over adapting them. Do not skip dessert. The flan is fantastic and a perfect way to finish the meal. Overall, a very good spot for Brazilian food in New York, whether for business or a casual meal. I would definitely go back.

She gave amazing recommendations on what to order for both food and drinks and had such a pleasant personality, which really made the night special. Our table ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, and the portions were perfect. We started with the cucumbers, which were super refreshing and flavorful. Definitely get the crispy rice -- every version was great, but the crab and salmon tartare were the table's favorites. For crudo, we got both the yellowtail and the salmon, and the yellowtail was so good we had to order a second round. The skewers were also a hit. Each one comes with its own sauce depending on the meat or veggie, and they come three pieces per skewer, with a minimum order of three. We tried the beef, chicken, and eggplant, all cooked perfectly. We ordered all three desserts. Our favorite was the crêpe cake. Definitely order this. The space itself is beautiful, and at 10 PM it transforms into a lounge with hookah, a dance floor, and a live DJ. On Fridays, they play house music, which wasn't really our favorite, but the overall vibe was amazing.

I also only ate one of my two steaks - like I said - they had generous portions! The rice and beans with the sides they came with were excellent.

Though I have great Latino cuisine options in Queens, I still ventured to that restaurant once in a while for their Feijoada. Thankfully, they reopened. Been here twice since they moved to 10th Avenue. The new space is nicely designed with a cool bar area and comfortable seating. Now, what about that delicious Feijoada? Happy to report that it is as wonderful as I remembered. That pot of flavorful meats and beans brings me to a very happy place. I will always come back just for this. As for other items on the menu, we had the Picanha Grelhadano Alho, which was quite good. The Pastéis (Brazilian empanadas) was an excellent starter, along with the Bolinho de Bacalhau (Cod Fish Croquette). There are so many dishes that I would still like to try. Too bad I can't pull myself away from their Feijoada. Guess I'll have to bring more friends to share food.
