Absolutely top quality. I'd take Fogo de Chao over Ruth's Chris or Morton's any day.
The service is also absolutely top quality. Their waiters work their way up through the steakhouses in Brazil, and only the top of the top get offered positions in the States. There is literally one wait person for each table in the restaurant, but tables are not strictly assigned to waiters. The waitstaff will literally do anything they notice needs to be done, at any table. Need water? Someone will get you some before you take a second sip from your glass. Looking around for something? Someone will stop and get you whatever you need. I've noticed that they seem to operate on kind of a dealer/pit boss type system, and they are constantly throwing hand signals across the restaurant or speaking quietly in Portuguese to address every issue, from a spilled drink to a patron who wants his filet mignon a tad more rare...
