With a party of 8, we dined to celebrate a law school graduation. The experience and meal was over the top. Don't eat lunch the day you plan to have dinner here. Don't eat bread, don't have soup...indulge. One evenings cholesterol loading won't kill you...and it's so much fun!

This is not only a restaurant but an experience also. The meats are outstanding and so is the salad bar. It's a good place to treat yourself too but not a place you can go all the time because it is costly. I can't complain about anything because everything was amazing!!!! I am also not a person that likes to... More

Wonderful ambiance and decent service (was a little slow, but we were not in any rush so OK), the salad bar is very well stocked, the meat is delicious. Since it was our first time at a restaurant like this a few tips we wish we knew first: 1. There is cheese in the breadrolls they put on the table,... More

I was attending the University of Maryland at the time so my buddies and I decided to take the metro to DC to get a well earned delicious meal and that it was! There's always so much food to eat and so many different things to try if you start feeling overwhelmed make sure to flip that card to red!!!... More

Great place to eat when in D.C. A carnivorous experience. Make sure you show up hungry. Gorgeous restaurant, great food and service. If you can, save room for dessert.

I am Brazilian and I can say that this steakhouse is the best one outside Brazil. They have a great selection of meat and service is good even when it is really crowded. I think they do a great job maintaining all the main points that makes a true Brazilian steakhouse.

It was a very boisterous atmosphere and people were in constant motion-the people in motion, were bringing the most mouthwatering meats I have EVER tasted! The salad bar was a work of art in itself, delicious from one end to the other (I almost wished I had skipped it to save room for more meat, but it was soooo good).... More

Fogo de Chao restaurants are consistently delicious and always a treat. This location was excellent as we expect from Fogo. The service was outstanding because if the staff didn't bring by meat on skewers that was cooked as we each preferred, within a couple minutes a skewer appeared that was perfectly to our liking. (I like medium but prefer the... More
