After a wonderful meal at Alexander's in November 2018, we returned last night for a Valentine's Dinner. It was a very different experience. Although the service was very good, and they tried to be attentive, I was not the only diner I heard answering "it's okay" to "How is everything?" Frankly, okay is not good enough when you are shelling out $380 for dinner for 2, and I say this as someone who regularly dines at top restaurants in London, regularly spending £300 - £400. It sounded like it had been a very busy day - it was Valentine's Day to be fair - and many of the staff had worked long shifts. However we waited half an hour for our main course after the starters. My husband's steak was very dry, and mine was underdone. Also, I know the dinner is supposed to be a treat, and they were very good about leaving things off we didn't want (no bacon on the salad etc), but the vegetables were utterly drenched in butter. Flavours were wonderful, but if half the butter had been used the vegetables still would have tasted amazing. Top marks for the popcorn crab starter which my husband and I shared. I only had a couple as they are, of course, fried, but the crab was absolutely amazing. It's a very nice touch to have tiny fruit jellies, fudge and cotton candy at the end of the meal. They also gave a very high quality long stemmed rose to the ladies at the end of the meal as it was Valentine's, a lovely touch.Top marks for effort, but at the price, will we return? I'm honestly not sure. And just a side note, I think it's amazing to have gender neutral bathrooms, but unfortunately they weren't very clean. At an establishment like this, particularly if all sexes are using the same restrooms, it's important to check that they are clean regularly.

To management: last time I ever come here. Why? When 5 drunk, grown men take over your bar area (which is directly next to the dining room) and start talking LOUDLY about their bank accounts, their golf game, women's anatomies and dropping F-bombs every other word and you still do NOTHING to shut them up - then that's when I take my business elsewhere. For well over an hour, these neanderthals kept on one-upping each other and using foul language. It ruined my family's evening. That's $700 I could've spent somewhere else. (note: one of the men was owner of Campo di Bocce. He basically blurted it out so everyone could here)

Galpo Gaucho features a great salad bar, a very good selection of meats in an impressive environment with excellent and attentive service... In comparison to other the Brazilian Steakhouses that I have tried in the last 5-6 months, this churrascaria is currently my favorite.... best salad bar, very good selection of meats and excellent service.... The BBQâd pineapple with cinnamon was amazing.We definitely plan to return!

I have been to Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse on several occasions for group meals. The first thing I would say is the salad bar is the best I've ever experienced. So many fresh choices that is hard not to try every thing. I would encourage anyone to go lite on the salad bar otherwise you won't have any room for the meet that is served afterwards. For the meat, it seems like the servers are pushing the less expensive cuts. You can request your preferred choice and not settle for what they happen to be offering. It seems like the desirable meats are selectively served.
