Opinions on Fogo De Chao?

I've heard nothing but good things about everything about this brazilian steakhouse but I was wondering how well you guys like it or rate it? And is the price to outrageous for the food?Opinions on Fogo De Chao?
I LOVE Fogo! Brazilian churrascarias are probably my favorite type of restaurant (you can't beat endless meat!) and Fogo is by far the best of the bunch. Not only are their meats of exceptional quality, they also have one of the best salad and side bars you'll ever find, a very good wine selection and the papaya cream dessert is outstanding.

Yes, the price is pretty high. Depending on the city it can run $50-60 for dinner before drinks. I think it's worth it but the real value is to go at lunch, when the price is almost half of the dinner price for exactly the same menu.

The Fogo in Chicago has a great decor and ambiance while at the same time still casual and informal, and for a restaurant of this type it's run very well. The staff is very attentive, they'll make an effort to bring you skewers of meat cooked to your liking and you can ask any of them anything about the menu or the restaurant and they're all very knowledgeable. It really is a unique and great dining experience. I've eaten at a LOT of churrascarias around the country and Fogo really is the best. High priced, maybe...but you get your moneys worth.
It's won many awards so, I'd think it's good:

It's a high end restaurant so, I'd bring a fat wallet but, it seems worth it!Opinions on Fogo De Chao?
We usually go to Texas de Brazil, however, we did try Fogo for lunch while we were in Denver a few months ago. The service was very pleasant, the salad bar nice (not as much offered as Texas de Brazil, but nice) and they offered the piccanha, their high end sirloin. The price might seem a little high but it's worth at least dining with them once.
yum!!!! I also like Brazzaz, except it's $50 per person.
