   Christmas day! Very busy. Staff was wonderful. Lamb was amazing. Wine was fab. My only complaint was no seating while we waited for a table I am unable to stand for very long and there were no bar stools and no seating for those of us who had to wait except outside and it was cold That’s a big miss so we won’t be back unless it a very slow night

   Standard Fogo, everything as expected. Second sentence to get to required characters.

   We had a great experience!! Some had entrees (salmon and sea bass) while others took part in the “protein parade” and all food was delicious! The service was outstanding from beginning to end - you could tell that each employee was well trained and really liked their job despite it being the crazy holiday season. Our only difficulty was the “energetic” noise level that kept a few in our party from hearing each other. I was really glad we chose an early reservation, knowing it might be an issue for the elderly in our group.

   It was our first time going to Fogo. We went with the full experience and meat after meat was brought to us immediately. The salad bar was great too! We ordered cocktails and they came out quick. But we ordered wine after and it was taking too long to come out. We had already finished the food and were ready for the bill and the wine had not come. We asked to cancel the wine order and get the check. The Customer Experience worker came over and ordered us free desserts because of the inconvenience. Even though we were super full, we destroyed the desserts and they were so good! Happy with the overall experience and grateful for the attentive staff who made things better.

   Family experience with 2 teenage grandsons who enjoy beef. Everyone enjoyed the variety of side dishes along with the meat. Will go again.

   We celebrated my birthday with brunch at Fogo de Chão in Emeryville, and it was an unforgettable experience. This was our third visit, and as always, the food, ambiance, and service exceeded our expectations. The variety and quality of the food were exceptional, with perfectly prepared meats and a fresh, well-stocked Market Table. A special mention goes to George, our talented trancheur, who carved each cut with precision and flair, making the meal all the more enjoyable. Our server Sarah was attentive, warm, and ensured every detail of our dining experience was flawless, Matheus, the Customer Service Representative, went above and beyond with a couple of special surprise touches to make us feel welcomed and celebrated. The atmosphere was vibrant yet refined, and the staff’s professionalism and friendliness truly set Fogo de Chão apart. This is the perfect place for a special occasion or just an extraordinary meal. We can’t wait to return!
