"The El Segundo location is a very different vibe than the location on La Cienega. The dining room is very crowded. I mean packed. Like uncomfortably packed. When they employ outside dining, they leave the door open and it can get cold inside if you sit by the door. When the place is busy, maneuvering around the sides bar can be a challenge given the people and the children who don’t pay the most attention to surroundings. The food is okay. I did note the lack of premium cuts on rotation versus other locations and similar concepts. The chicken legs and sausage was much more frequent then the picanha or sirloin. It was clear that a thorough job is not done when turning tables. During our meal, i apologized to my daughter for what I thought was a errant kick. When she said I didn’t touch her, I looked under the table to find broken glass, utensils and a few napkins. If we were wearing open toed shoes, someone would have been cut and it couldn’t been bad. I spent over $450 on this experience for three adults and one kid, and to be honest, it was not worth it. It seems as if the restaurant was trying to push the cheaper proteins and don’t bother cleaning up the place between diners. It’s about butts in seats to make the most money per seat per night. I love Fogo and I really wanted this experience to be special, but walked away disappointed."
