This is a decent Brazilian restaurant. If you have been to similar restaurants before then you will probably not find this one much different. Dinner and juice are $60 per person. Not sure that it is worth that much. more

Okay- this is not a typical restaurant.....before we sat down, we had 2 servers helping with our jackets, bringing bread, and bringing water. It is 50/person (without drinks) and it is SOOO worth it! Skewers of meat (everything from filet to chicken) are brought around by different servers and you select what you want! You are really missing out if... more

My husband's only request for our trip to DC was that we visit a restaurant he’d wanted to experience the last time we were in town--this pseudo-chain restaurant called Fogo De Chao. There’s one in maybe six or eight other major cities, and we had passed one in Philadelphia the weekend before with a considerable line out front in the... more

This place is awesome, it's like all you can eat Ruth's Chris but I think the meat is even better. Think about it. They are so eager to please too, even if the food wasn't so good I'd still go there because of the service. more

Quite possibly the best dining experience I have ever had! The service was awesome, the entire waitstaff was taking care of me as if I was their only patron. The meats were the best I have ever had. Well worth the price, make sure you stop here while on your trip to DC! more

This restaurant is a carnivor's paradise. For somewhere around $50 per person, you get an impressive salad bar, tasty sides, and all the fire roasted meat on sticks you can stand. Common advice is to not load up on the salad bar. The meal starts with puffy, airy, cheddar biscuits. They're actually more like poufs than biscuits, and they're fantastic.... more

We went on September 11, 2009, with my husband and two boys, ages 11 & 13. They were extremely happy, since they are very good eaters (especially my 13 year old....5'11", 180 lbs.). Needless to say, I can't believe he didn't explode! He ate everything he asked for and could not say "NO". I was proud, to say the least,... more

This was our second time dinning at the Washington DC location. It is located on Penn. Ave directly across the street from Federal Triangle metro stop plaza. Tip: It is cheaper to eat lunch $35 pp vs. dinner $59 pp. Try to lemonade and go light on the pre-meal salad bar. Be prepared to stuff yourself the variety is such... more
