My employer, Fogo de Châo, is in this building so I get to walk through here many times each week. The building is more impressive on the interior as compared to the exterior. I like to sit on the ledge under the escalators sometimes, before it after a shift. It's a warm, peaceful little spot in the heart ❤️ of the city and I'm very grateful 🙏 for its presence.

My husband took me here for dinner tonight and it was our first time here as well as our first experience with fondue. He got us a reservation for two in a private little booth with a curtain. The booth was a little tricky for more than one person to get in and out but it was very cozy. These seats could probably hold three people my size (5'6", 145lbs) comfortably. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable with two exceptions. First, it was very hot. I didn't see any vents anywhere near us. Second, the bathrooms were messy. They were mostly clean but the sink areas in both men's and women's had water and paper towels all over.
The food was amazing!! We had the "Bigger Night Out for Two". When the food first came out, with each course I remember thinking, "Is this going to be enough?". We finished eating an hour ago and I still feel quite full! Between this and everything else I did today, this day ranks in the Top 3 of all-time best days in my life and a large part of that goes to my experience here.
The staff here are friendly and helpful. The name of this place is very deceiving. I went in expecting to find a tiny version of a grocery store, a local corner market. Instead, what I saw was a gas station without gas. For produce, I saw potatoes, onions, and a couple of green peppers. 90% is the food here is junk food and every single item is vastly overpriced. They carry a rather large selection of incense, especially given the size of the store, and they have multiple cases of glass pipes. I did get one of those for $10 and I'm very happy with it. The selection is NOT what I was expecting or needed and the prices were ridiculous. I won't go here again.
This is a very fun course for beginners like me and my husband. We've only ever played golf about 3 times in our life so this was the perfect place for us. We were able to rent a set of clubs and a pull cart for a great price! Our tee time was bright and early which got us a reduced rate and the excellent benefit of the course being nearly empty so it made us feel like VIPs being nearly the only ones out there! The course itself was really easy, which is perfect for us, We were able to complete the 9 holes in about 1.5 hours. The fairways and greens were well maintained and the staff was really friendly. 👌 Overall a very fun time!!
