Fogo — Restaurant in Higüey

If you are thinking about a romantic dinner, this restaurant might not meet your expectations. We were here 3 times. Both times the hosts and servers serving water and wine were very nice and quick. Servers serving main course, different story - some of them are disorganized, not trained well, there is no order here while the main course is served, some of servers cut the meet from the bottom to top, serve the meet across the table, serve the meet in random order, tables are skipped, there is no order here. While we were here 2nd time our table was skipped twice while 2 types of beef was served and we have not got any beef, the beef was finally served, but we were lied that only one type of beef is served. 3rd time, we were allowed to enter the restaurant with acceptable 10 min delay, we have started dinner @ 8:40pm, got appetizer, but 1hr later - 9:45pm the main course still has not been served because entire restaurant had to wait for local residents from one big table (they were 30 min late) and everyone had to wait until they finish the appetizer.

On Fridays and Saturdays this place is crazy busy, per my observation local residents have a priority here while dinner is served. Foreign tourists are being served last, no table order exists here. During our 3rd time in this restaurant, we had to remind that our table was skipped again while the food was served and this time the sausage was not served. Definitely will not give this...

The food was so good! I highly recommend this restaurant for one of your reservations. They came around with various types of meats from Chicken, Beef, Lamb. Then they had a fish as well as fried Pineapple. Each one was delicious.

If you have kids, the waiter/waitress will discuss what options the kids have personally with you which was very nice.

Im not sure if they allowed for mixed drinks but my group got wine. They do have options to but bottles but we got the free versions. The wine was alright.

Dessert though was amazing. They gave you milk cake and a chocolate cake pop ball. It...

This place markets itself as a Brazilian steakhouse, which it is not. Anyone who has ever been to one will know immediately. Yes, they took the meat on a sword concept and used it here, but that's the extent of it. The food itself is mediocre and has nothing in common with Brazilian cuisine. But I suppose it's to be expected with a restaurant at an all...
