Fogo de Chao - Boston
200 Dartmouth St, Boston, MA 02116, USA- Spaces for 370 Guests
- 1 Restaurant
Fogo is the ideal spot for groups of various kinds to celebrate a special birthday, organize a major corporate meeting, or buy out the entire restaurant. To meet your demands, our experienced sales managers will offer a variety of personalized menus, package options, and private and semi-private eating rooms. The Boston Fogo is located in Copley Square, across from the Boston Public Library and just steps away from Trinity Church and the Hancock Building. The location is great for both inhabitants and visitors. Fogo Boston features many private and semi-private dining spaces that may accommodate groups of 10 to 100 people. All dayparts have different menus, as well as full-service catering and contactless takeaway and delivery choices. Fogo de Cho's founders grew up on a traditional Serra Gaucha farm in Southern Brazil. They learnt to cook in the churrasco grilling tradition, which would later become the story's backbone. In 1975, the founding brothers moved from Rio Grande do Sul to Rio and São Paulo to pursue official churrasqueiro training while also establishing the Fogo concept. This original restaurant, built of wood and tucked in the Porto Alegre countryside, arose out of an obsession with quality, investments in the city's art and culture, and a reverence for the founders' families' heritage. The Fogo concept was transplanted to the United States, with a stateside debut in Dallas, Texas, at the request of devoted American guests. Since then, the restaurant has expanded greatly thanks to a reputation of delicious food and exceptional customer service.

Tiki Rock Boston
2 Broad St, Boston, MA 02109, USATiki Rock events are usually unique and unforgettable. Please complete the form on their website and they will contact you as soon as possible. Tiki Rock has been serving classic and proprietary tiki cocktails crafted with fresh juices, handmade syrups, and unusual garnishes at 2 Broad St. Tiki Rock, which launched in Boston in 2018, blew any leftover winter blues away with a barrage of the best tiki drinks. It features tiki-style totem poles, bright blue bar stools, orange banquettes, and hand-painted scenes. Freshly produced juices and syrups are available in the central bar, complementing a menu of fun and classic tiki-style cocktails. A bright beacon beckons in downtown Boston if you're seeking for a break from the cold and perhaps more ice this weekend. Eater Boston reports that Tiki Rock debuted on Broad Street earlier this week. Tropical rain falls against illuminated Polynesian figures in Tiki Rock's entryway, flanking a carved wooden door. There are bright blue bar stools and orange banquettes inside the dining room, as well as hand-painted images by Boston artist Joanna Ciampa, carved tiki-style totem poles, and a wall of scallop shells collected by Straub's mother in Chatham. Tiki Rock is the idea of general manager Christopher Straub, who took over The Place's former location at 2 Broad St. and hired Moe Kuroki to run Oisa Ramen in the adjacent space. Straub brings years of Hyatt Hotel experience to the project. As beverage director, Charles Smedile (Uni, Clio, Waypoint) comes on board, as is chef de cuisine Matt McPherson (South End Buttery, Porto) and sushi chef Minggan "Tony" Wu.
