位於Waterfront / Belltown​的優質巴西菜​餐廳

I hope my experience is not the norm for this lovely restaurant. Upon arrival, there was no host or hostess, so I was a bit mystified about what to do because the place wasn’t a “seat yourself” environment. I waited for a few minutes, and then asked the bartender if there was a hostess. He was surprised that no one was at the station. My date waited in the lobby for sometime after I arrived, wondering what to do. The lack of a hostess was perplexing because the restaurant was not busy. We ordered drinks, which took nearly twenty minutes to arrive. Again, the place wasn’t busy. Aside from these drawbacks, the food was delicious, especially the meats, which were excellent, as were the meat servers.

Service was great. They’ve kept refilling drinks and bringing sides when requested. The meat was a bit slow to come around. We were a party of 8 so we were towards the back. Space was tight, wished we had better seating. Food was okay. I was more filled with sides before the meat came around.

Great experience we had Christmas dinner and New years day dinner with them and loved both events. staff friendly and work hard to ensure that your meal is perfect as well as educating about the food you are eating. We will be back!

We had a wonderful evening dinner at The Grill from Ipanema. From the moment we arrived, the service, the attention, the table setting, the food was delicious, the view, everything was amazing. We will for sure return. Thank you for making the evening very pleasant.

As usual, there were not many restaurants open close to where we live Christmas Day 2024. So I turned to my trusted app -- Open Table - which I could use to narrow down the day. Fofo de Chao sounded intriguing, so I booked one of the few openings -- 4:45PM. Around 3:30PM a 7PM time had opened up, so I cancelled the 4:45PM time AFTER I booked the 7PM time. That way, I was assured we had a time and our prior time was opened up for others. Because we had a reservation, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated. There were about 40 people in line, who we had to assume did NOT have reservations. Thank you, Open Table! We were seated close to the front window in a semi-private 2-person table, which we appreciated greatly. Our wait person Marsala could not have been more personable and professional. Because we had not eaten in the restaurant before, and because there was a special holiday presentation, Marsala explained to us how the entire process worked. Everything started with a self-service salad bar (like those that existed before Coid-19), which was pleasant. Large plates were available instead of the very small ones other venues offer. Once we were at out table, my wife and I were both given 2-inch-in-diameter paper discs. One side up indicated you were not ready for meats. Flip it, and a steady stream of carvers came to us offering different meats -- carved at the table and put on our plates. The meats were not overcooked, and overall were delicious. Our check, including an 18% (voluntary) tip on food+tax was $208. So at ages 80 and 84 on fixed incomes, we will be reserving Fogo de Chao for special occasions. But we were very happy with the whole experience. You will not leave hungry!
