I booked a table for me and my buddy and aside from a slight delay with a table my experience here was great. I started off with a Caramelized Pineapple Old Fashioned and it was a good boozy start to just the deluge of meat that came my way. Usually the gauchos start slowing down after a while sometimes to the umbrage of the waitstaff. Here it seemed like the gauchos were more than happy to come by again and again and again if you appreciated whatever cuts they were touting. I think if you're at a Brazilian steakhouse picanha is what you should eat the most. The picanha gaucho asked me once if I liked picanha and when I said I love it, he came by multiple times; once he basically just dropped a small slab of it so I wouldn't have to wait for a few slices. I've never had that happen before at a churrascaria and haven't since, which reminds me I should probably look into making another reservation...

The staff is very attentive and provides excellent service, the place has a very upscale quality and ambience to it, and the food... What can I say... It is Brazilian steak after all... And oh my goodness I ate my fill. It was so delicious. Worth a revisit next time I am in the area.

We saw a sign for All Day HH so I decided to check them out for lunch. I didn't want a large meal so we sat at the bar and the bites were just the right size (and more food than I expected)! I recommend the strawberry hibiscus caprinha. It was fruity and very tasty. For the food, we had the saucy chicken legs and polenta fries which were each 6 dollars. And the lamb chop popsicles and beef sliders which were 13.50 and 15 dollars, respectively. I would order everything again except the lamb chop popsicles. I'm not a huge fan of lamb to begin with and I wasn't wowed with the seasoning. Everything else was very good, and plenty of food.

First of all, the staff is so friendly and the service is fabulous ! The ambience is wonderful. We were here two nights ago for a company dinner and had the full Churrasco experience ($61.50-$82) It was really good. The desserts were also excellent (key lime pie yum). It was a little complicated to do with such a large group (80) but the staff handled it well. So well, in fact that we decided to go back tonight to go to the Market Table & Feijoada Bar (on its own $18 lunch or $36 dinner). We decided to add the salmon to outside ($43 for salmon and includes the Market Table. We have had enough red meat over the last few days. The salmon was excellent perfectly cooked, and came piping hot to the table. We loved all the charcuterie meats, cheeses, salad choices, fruit veggies on the Market Table and Feijoada bat. Great way to celebrate our last evening in Austin. Make sure you go hungry!

Came here for a celebration dinner with six people. Had a reservation - seated quickly. The new location is gorgeous and the valet out front is very helpful vs. street parking, especially if anyone in your party is in heels - the walk is short. The majority of us opted for the traditional meat experience, but the vegetarians in our party had ample options between the salad bar and some vegeterian menu options. Service was generally good, although the kitchen was definitely producing meats in fits and spurts - lots of things at once followed by long pauses between options, even with the green pogs turned up. Two special requests (lamb, pork belly) from the menu took more than 40 minutes to finally arrive after asking four different times. They're definitely getting used to a new number of patrons, new layout, etc. and having some hiccups in consistency / continuity. Edit: the issue with our tip being recorded wrong (too low) was addressed by management, but only after posting this review. Calls to the restaurant were ineffective in getting results.

Came here for a lovely post-elopement celebration with our small wedding party (6 total) and as expected, the food was delicious. As others mentioned, the table arrangement is tight and it felt awkward to get up and visit the "Market Table" i.e. salad bar weaving around other tables, and there was limited free space on the table which made it awkward when we had plates we were ready to have cleared. The service wasn't as great as we've had at other similar Brazilian Churrascerias though so that was a bit disappointing. The entire table had opted for the full Churrasco experience, with one exception as we had a vegetarian member of our party who selected the market table only option. At one point we had multiple offerings of delectable meat choices offered and then... nothing for quite some time. We made a few requests for meats that had not been brought by and waited a good 20 minutes before making the same requests again. In fairness, they were busy, but we were not in a private room so the other tables must have felt the same annoyance. The other weird thing was the "hording of the menus" as only one was brought to our table of six, forcing us to pass it around while the waitperson stood there to take our drink order. The hostess popped by to take the menu almost as soon as our drink order had been taken, so none of us ordered another beverage as we had no reference to review. We also had no way of making requests without pulling up their menu on our phones. Strange that we could eat all the foods we wanted but menus? Nope can't have those. We didn't expect this lack of service given that our reservation was 7:30pm on a Sunday, but we didn't allow it to ruin our event. We all had a lovely time and a few in our party had never been so were thankful for the experience. The Market Table - Amazing. So much variety and literally choices for any dietary preferences present. Everything we DID have was delicious and well prepared. One of our guests suggested that the lunch offering is perfect if you find yourself downtown.

Outstanding! Served our party of 23 flawlessly! Thank you Tai for making our family feel welcome but you also included our children and that speaks volumes of your character and care for the whole experience at FDC. Nayeli and Yulia were phenomenal making the dining experience so easy especially for our first timers. We were in town celebrating a birthday and your restaurant made our night memorable. Thank you for the great food, service and the ambience was PERFECTION. Ps- you must try the lamb chops with the mint sauce

They made things right! After a questionable couple of visits, service improved! My favorite dish, the picanha, is now making regular appearances. And the best hostess in the world, Nijay, is usually there to greet guests in the evening!
