Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

A special thank you to our server, Michelly, who made our experience even better. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. Her excellent service and warm attitude really stood out and made us feel welcome.

The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it a perfect place for a special occasion or a nice dinner out. I highly recommend Fogo de Chão, and I’ll definitely be back!

The food was exceptional. Every cut of meat was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served continuously by the gauchos. The Market Table was fresh, beautifully presented, and offered a great variety of salads, cheeses, and side dishes. Everything tasted fresh and of the highest quality.

The restaurant itself is elegant, clean, and has a warm atmosphere that's perfect for celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying an amazing meal with family and friends.

The entire team went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dining experience. If you're looking for authentic Brazilian steakhouse cuisine with outstanding service, this is the place to visit. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back. Five stars!

We started with drinks and a self-serve salad bar that was beyond description. Everything was impeccably fresh and the variety seemed endless: grilled artichokes and zucchini, blue cheese, beet salad, assorted hot peppers, hearts of palm, and many more items that individually delivered a fantastic savory start to the meal. Freshly carved queijo assado drizzled with honey and served tableside was a wonderful new taste experience.

Then the meat service began. Unfortunately, our first offering was a large cut of steak that was very overcooked. The Parmesan-encrusted pork was better, while the picanha and top sirloin were perfectly prepared. The chicken had excellent grilled flavor but was again overcooked and dry. We were never offered the sausage (chorizo?), so I cannot comment on that course.

Up to this point the service had been solid, but then the experience went off the rails a bit. Our dessert arrived quickly, yet the espresso took a good 15 minutes to appear. The bill then took forever and, when it finally arrived, only the drinks and dessert had been charged — the meals were missing entirely. It took another lengthy wait to get a server’s attention and have the bill corrected.

Still, it was an enjoyable evening with some memorable flavors, just not quite the polished high-end experience we had anticipated.

I would like to give a special thank you to Rachel, who truly elevated our experience. Her service was impeccable, friendly, professional, and always attentive to every detail, making us feel genuinely well taken care of.

Highly recommended and definitely a place we will return to. Thank you for a memorable evening!

The manager (Kelsey, I believe) was incredibly friendly. Got 2 glasses of champagne for my cousin who had just celebrated his wedding the day before then when she learned we had a couple of people celebrating birthdays, she brought out a few complimentary desserts for the group. AND, instead of rushing us out as they had closed while we were still eating, they let us eat, finish our drinks and socialize well after the restaurant was closed to the public. I swear some staff had already gone home! HIGHLY recommended, really lovely evening, obrigado! 🙌🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾

The service was truly above and beyond. Everyone was attentive, but Alex, our server, made the night unforgettable. He guided our group with professionalism, kindness, and perfect timing. His knowledge and genuine care elevated the entire experience, and our team of over 20 people were very satisfied with his service.

Highly recommend Fogo de Chão for any work event, celebration, or group dining. Excellent food, incredible service, and a memorable atmosphere. Thank you, Alex, for making our night outstanding!

On this visit, we decided to have a late lunch around 5:00 PM and tried something different, the whole roasted Branzino, a beautiful 2-pound fish. We ordered some beverages and patiently waited for our meal. Although it took a little time, it was absolutely worth it.

Our server brought out the perfectly toasted Branzino, expertly cleaned and deboned right at our table. He added fresh lemon and olive oil before serving it onto our plates. The fish was delicious, fresh, flavorful, creamy, and tender. It came with mashed potatoes, banana, and polenta, which complemented the dish wonderfully. Next time, we’d add a salad to balance the richness.

The service was, as always, attentive and friendly, even with some new faces. We highly recommend trying the Branzino, it’s a hidden gem in this renowned meat-focused restaurant. A truly memorable dining experience!

A special shout-out to Camillo, who truly made our experience wonderful with his attentiveness and warm service.

Wow. I don't even know where to begin because this experience truly moved me. I came to Fogo de Chão in Coral Gables with my family for lunch, and from the moment we walked in, it felt like we were being welcomed home.

The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and full of energy — you can tell this place is built on excellence and passion. But what really made the difference was the people. A huge THANK YOU to Flavio Medeiros, Patrick, and Shelly — you didn’t just serve us. You genuinely cared for us. Your kindness, attention to detail, and hospitality touched our hearts.

And the food? Absolutely next level. Every bite felt like a celebration. The cuts of meat were perfectly cooked and brought to our table with pride. The market table was a colorful symphony of fresh, vibrant flavors. It’s not just a meal — it’s an experience that makes you feel alive.

This was more than just a lunch — it was a moment we’ll remember as a family. If you're looking for a place that makes you feel special, serves incredible food, and treats you like royalty, this is it.

We'll be back. Again and again. 🙏💫

Thank you!

This Brazilian all-you-can-eat steakhouse is 100% worth trying. The food was top-tier, and the entire staff was fantastic. I’ve tried a lot of spots, and this one did not disappoint!

If you're a solo diner—particularly a single male—I'd advise caution when choosing to come here after 8:30 PM. The service tends to become dismissive, and it's hard not to feel overlooked. On my latest visit, I opted for the $49 Fogo Experience, and from the beginning, it was underwhelming. It took over 15 minutes just to receive water, and I had to remind the staff multiple times about the sides that are supposed to accompany the meal. Basic staples like the cheese bread never arrived.

Despite servers walking past my table repeatedly, very few acknowledged me or offered any of the meats. Between 8:50 and 9:30 PM, only five servers approached my table, and most passed by as if I wasn’t there at all. It became clear that once the evening progresses, service significantly drops off.

That said, I do want to acknowledge one staff member who recognized me from past visits and made a genuine effort to deliver the level of service I’ve come to expect. Without their initiative, the experience would have been even more disappointing.

I sincerely hope management addresses these issues. This place has great potential and used to offer a much more enjoyable dining experience.

I had a wonderful dinner experience at Fogo de Chão in Coral Gables this past Saturday evening! Our waiter, Sergi, provided exceptional service, and the entire staff was spectacular throughout the meal. A special thank you to Pedro for making our evening truly memorable. The food was incredible, as always, with a fantastic selection of perfectly grilled meats and a delicious salad bar. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a great night out with friends. I highly recommend Fogo de Chão for anyone looking for an amazing dining experience. I can't wait to come back.
