Special Birthday dinner. Positives: The menu is huge Friendly atmosphere Huge portions Steaks were delicious Negatives: Aside from the seating being a bit tight and the service a little slow, there are no other negatives to speak of. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but portions are large and you get what you pay for.

Fernandes does not disappoint, at least in my experience. This restaurant you pay for what you order, and the plates are served with abundance. I forgot to mention that Portuguese cuisine is on the menu. The seafood choices are great. Different types of steak and pasta dishes. The pitcher of sangria was a beautiful blend of taste. The ambiance is chill with an eat at the bar option. The staff is super attendant and are knowledgeable with the menu. Be prepared to take leftovers home cause it is plenty. If you happen to check it out, enjoy yourself.

Hands down one of the best restaurant meals I've ever had. Ordered the rodizio and EVERYTHING was amazing. And the staff took excellent care of my entire family. I usually can't be bothered writing Google reviews, but I had to this time.

We took my Dad out for his Birthday here. My family ordered these huge plates about $120 each but literally 3 people can eat from one of those plates! Lol Our server had the group sing happy birthday to my dad & we didn’t even request it. He just over heard us saying it was his birthday & he brought a little desert my dad had ordered with a candle on top & sang with the other servers. Super sweet & memorable. Food was really good. Definitely recommend.

Disappointed overall. The best things we had were the antipasto, bread and oil, caipirinha, and water. The filet mignon was average and one of ours was not cooked right (almost blue rare instead of medium rare). The lobster was downright bad - overcooked and tasteless. The melted butter to go with it was also somehow messed up and just not right. The Spanish sauce and shrimp were decent. The rice was subpar and could have been instant rice as far as we could tell. The old fashioned was not good. Their food and wine menus are huge - maybe we just ordered the wrong things. The service was passable. I would not recommend going here - but if you do, maybe the unlimited steak is the way to go.

The food and service are excellent!!! We’ve been going there for well over a decade, and will never stop. We go for the Rodizio mostly, although friends and family have always shared their regular plates with me, lol The portions are huge, and super flavorful! The service is top tier! We usually ask for our favorite server Alex. Although the whole staff definitely work well together. The atmosphere is very comfy! We’ve gone for a lot of birthdays and special occasions. I would suggest making a reservation on holidays because there’s a wait certain days obviously. They always do their best to seat us in under 30mins. You can tell why it’s so busy, and prices are equivalent to the quality. Where else can you get a giant plate of lobster, steak, delicious pasta, or Chilean sea bass, $25-$75 a plate, with enough food for 2 meals?! Also the sangria is killer, lol I would absolutely put this on your restaurant bucket list! And definitely try the crème brûlée!
