Fogo De Chao, Austin

Wow, I could not believe that it is 2012!
I was quiet busy last week and now I have the spare time to pay attention to my blog.
It was our 7th Wedding Anniversary
We celebrated it at a Brazilian Steakhouse, Austin.
We first had our first try of Brazilian food in Venetian Hotel and Casino in Macau and we fell in love with it.
My husband being from Texas could not be more happy about it.
When we were living in Seoul, we had our favorite of Brazilian Steakhouse and we went to it quiet often, when we feel like being a carnivore is much a due for that particular evening.

Since it's our Wedding Anniversary we went and tried Fogo De Chao, Brazilian Steakhouse in 3rd St. Austin.
When I called for a reservation they could only let us in at 4:30pm, I am sure it has something to do with being December 31st.

There is no issue in parking, since it was pretty early in the afternoon, but we could not figure out how to operate the machine where you pay your parking.
It was $3 for 3 hours or valet $6 dollars for until the restaurant close I suppose. So we did the valet, since we both think it's easier.

The restaurant look modern and elegant.
The lighting was cozy, the music was loud enough to be in the background that makes you relax and hungry.
The Maitre D' was friendly and check us in no problem, we waited for 2 minutes for our table and she sat us in.
Our table was perfect, our waiter was friendly and pulled my chair for me to sit comfortably, he was also very knowledgeable about the wine in the wine list; which was a plus in my book.

We had a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, we both thought that it was worth it since 3 glasses of wine would cover the whole bottle price, plus I think a heavy wine is necessary for all the meat that we are going to eat.
We had the Dining experience which means unlimited 15 cuts of meats: it has sausage, top and bottom sirloin, leg and chop of lamb, pork ribs, bacon wrap sirloin, filet mignon, pork loin with parmesan cheese, chicken breast and legs, and house special.
I probably forgot the rest of it, but never the less they were all delicious.
There was a salad bar, packed of freshly baked bread, salads, different kinds of cheeses, cold cuts, dressings and etc.
We also had a mashed potatoes, fried banana, and some cheese bread in the table.
We got a card that was red and green on each side you flip it green when you want more meat and red if you want a break or like me, stuffed to my throat.
Our waiter was excellent, I cannot complain in their service.
They were there enough for anything we need but left us alone for our privacy.
We had a complimentary dessert that was plated nicely and had a Happy Anniversary letters in chocolate sauce, we had chocolate and white chocolate mousse which my hubby loved.
It was a bit rich for me.
We paid $45.99 per head for Dining Experience which is the unlimited steak.

Over all our experience in this restaurant was fantastic! I would definitely come back again.
Before you go, make sure that you are hungry and if you happen to be in downtown Austin during lunch hour, the price for lunch hour is $26.99 for the Unlimited Steak basically half.
Next time, I am going to wear my spandex so I could go meat comma.
