#Fogo devour downtown plus

This restaurant is in a good location, valet parking, nice décor, large restaurant, several seating areas, tons of wait staff, no wait for anything, and more food choices than I could possibly list on the salad bar. This was nothing like my previous experience at that other place years ago. Mentioned that one should only go there for special occasions type thing. I had heard good things about the place but I had also heard that it was kind of pricey. When my husband mentioned going to Fogo De Chao in downtown Indianapolis this past holiday season, I was skeptical. The experience was sub par at best and I was not impressed. I do not remember the name of the place and it is probably no longer in business anyway. Several years ago, my husband and I tried one of these Brazilian dinner experiences - when this was the new and upcoming thing in dining. I got a nice email back and we had a fine dinner. I just emailed back and said save us a spot and my rationale for not signing anything. I was just organizing for a group not paying.

The first part was fine - we were not going to cancel.

The agreement basically stated I would pay money if we did not show, plus all charges would be on the card that I gave them. I brought a group of 20 here, and they emailed an agreement that I had to sign and add credit card information for the reservation. They do have a strange group reservation policy. If it is pouring, then go here and step out of your car basically right into the restaurant. The valet parking is cheap and convenient. Salad bar is great and the Parmesan pork is awesome, not to mention the steak (obviously). The ambiance is not really for a family, so we do not take our two boys, but we meet friends here about once a year for a nice dinner. It is a bit pricey for a regular place to eat, but if you eat during Devour Downtown, this becomes a great deal.

My favorite was the top sirloin, and my husband loved the NY strip as well as the beer battered chicken.Fogo is a great place for finer dining in a quieter atmosphere. We really wanted to try the lamb and it took quite awhile before it came to our table. My husband had more from the salad bar and many things he wasn't sure about he found to be great! Meat was brought out very quickly to the table on skewers. The salad bar is included for dinner, and it was great, but I didn't taste much because I was intrigued by the meat. The sides brought out to the table were small, but they refill them anytime you finish them. Be prepared to pay for drinks each time you refill, but that is expected at this price. If you are looking for top quality meat, I recommend this place. Our reservation wasn't until 5, but they sat us at 4:40 :) I recommend an earlier dining time if you can swing it because it was busy and there was a wait when we were leaving. We walked to the mall downtown but it started raining quite a bit, so we headed in early. My husband and I went down for a nice dinner in Indianapolis. Since this service has went on for multiple years, I think it is time for management to be replaced! For the price and compared to what it was previous years this was pathetic! Then after the waitress took my credit card for payment it was another 20 minutes to get it back. Now this sounds like a lot, but with tiny slices, there suppose to be 15 types total, and sitting for over 2 hours this was very disappointing. Then in the 2:15 that we were there I was offered a tolal of 6 pieces of meat (2 of the same type). This year there were 12 in our party and it started with 5 missing dishes on the salad bar.

The last 2 years there were just 4 of us and we were seated at the same table both years and we watched the servers walk right past our table time after time until we spoke to a manager. This is the third year in a row with the worst service of any restaraunt. My family has visited every year for 6 years over the Christmas holiday, since it is a special place for my daughter with Celiac disease, and this was the last.
