    Lefkes is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made our dining experience exceptional. Each course was perfectly timed, and they were always nearby, ensuring our glasses were full and that we had everything we needed. The team's knowledge of the menu and their recommendations were spot on, adding to the overall enjoyment. Lefkes has set a high standard for service—I can’t recommend it enough!

    Dear Fogo de Chão Management I am writing to express my disappointment with an issue we encountered during our dinner last night at your Paramus location. While the dining experience itself was enjoyable, an incident towards the end of the evening left a lasting negative impression. When it came time to pay the bill, my credit card was misplaced by the staff. For approximately 30 minutes, the staff searched for my card. During this time, neither my wife nor I received any updates or acknowledgment of the situation. Eventually, our waiter returned with my card and the bill, but the handling of the situation was far from satisfactory. The manager did briefly come by to apologize for the inconvenience, but no meaningful attempt was made to address the frustration or inconvenience caused by this situation. I believe that during such a prolonged and stressful incident, proactive communication and a genuine effort to make amends—such as a timely update or even a courtesy gesture like a discount on the bill—would have demonstrated better customer service. We expected a higher standard of care and professionalism. While mistakes happen, how they are handled reflects your commitment to customer satisfaction. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and consider reviewing your procedures to better address situations like this in the future. I look forward to hearing how this can be improved to ensure a positive experience for your guests moving forward. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Derick Causing Edit: 11/24/2024 initially gave one star for the experience given the incident however please see below in response to my grievances. Manager Dante called me the following day to apologize for the night before. He rectified the issue by giving my wife and I complimentary dinner coupons at a time of our choosing. While I understand problems do happen I appreciate the gesture by manager Dante. Will be dining with Fogo De Chao.

    Excellent food and service. The best seafood boil in Fort Lee! Highly recommend. The prices are fair and raw oyster are the best I had, fresh and meaty.
