    The food was delicious. The people coming by with meat was frequent. My only problem was with the actual server. Apart from taking the order and dropping off a glass of wine, he never came to the table. It was weird because everyone was standing in a group maybe 7 feet away from the table talking to each other. The meat offerings always came and were prompt, but the actual checking in on beverages or how the experience is going didnt happen.

    Although I have been to this restaurant many times and always had a terrific experience, yesterday's dinner was a horror show. Started with us having to wait for a table for 20 minutes past our reservation time. Spotty service, ultra long waits for water , drinks and appetizers. Horrible service during the meal, they forgot to bring food, the second bottle of sparkling took 12 minutes on the clock. Our business meal was a very important dinner, which the restaurant managed to ruin
    Fogo de Chão - Washington DCResponded on 15 October 2026
    Alexander, thank you for sharing this. We understand your dinner was important, and your notes about timing, service, and missed items are concerning to read. Our team aims for attentive hospitality and efficiency. A Manager may be reaching out to learn more so we can follow up appropriately. Thank you.

    We had an amazing experience celebrating our wedding anniversary at this restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed, appreciated, and genuinely cared for. The customer service was outstanding, and the General Manager went above and beyond to make our special occasion truly memorable. It’s one thing to enjoy a great meal, but it’s another thing entirely when a restaurant makes you feel special and takes the time to make your celebration unforgettable.
    Fogo de Chão - Washington DCResponded on 12 October 2026
    Tierra, what a joy to hear your anniversary celebration felt so special with us! We’re thrilled our team and our General Manager helped make it unforgettable, and we appreciate your 5-star review. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more churrasco and a visit to our Market Table! Best
