Pretty typical experience for a Brazilian steakhouse. Service was fairly good with some pleasant interactions. The main thing holding this experience back for us was just that the meats weren't especially flavorful. Maybe someone complained at some point about something being too spicy or too salty and they over compensated by making everything too bland. Who can say. Still basically enjoyed our meal but for the money it would have been nice to have more flavor.

I love this place so much! The staff are super nice, the food is great and the portions are so generous. Personal favorites are the Queijo Assado, Beef Rib, and Saucy Chicken Legs. If you sign up for their loyalty program, you can get awesome rewards like this lobster and shrimp dish 😋

We had a reservation to celebrate a birthday, and this was our first time trying Fogo de Chao at the East Bay location. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing experience when compared to the Fogo in SF. Check-in was quick, but once we were seated, we ordered drinks from our server, and they never arrived. The food was overly salty, and the chefs were slow with the tableside carvings. At certain points, we didn't see any staff serving meat at all. The Market Table was decent and offered a wide selection of seasonal salads, fresh veggies, cured meats, and other dishes. Aside from that, our server never checked in with us, and we didn't see her again for the rest of the evening. When it was time to request the bill, we waited 40 minutes, and no one came. Eventually, we had to walk to the reception desk at the front and ask the staff there to bring our check. It's unbelievable to want to pay and have absolutely no one assisting you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love this restaurant and the lovely staff our server, Sofia was an absolute joy! She greeted us with a radiant smile and such a positive energy that lasted the entire evening. She was incredibly patient, attentive, and quick to help with anything we needed from answering questions to handling requests with ease. Her amazing service truly made our night special, and we can’t wait to come back soon.

I celebrated my dad’s 70th birthday at Fogo de Chao in Emeryville. Everyone went above and beyond for our large gathering. Scarlet answered all of my questions to plan the event. The manager on duty that night John Bo accommodated me with any changes I made to the reservation and I was able to drop off cakes and balloons. And last but not least JAYDIN & Adrian were our servers who wrapped up the whole experience with a SLAM Dunk! They didn’t miss anything and were just cool and smooth!
