As busy couples and parents, scheduling a date night does take some effort and planning. Remember your last date night? What did you do? Want to try something new and fun?

We are pleased that our fellow Central Florida Latina Blogger, Sili Recio, from MyMamihood.com & Mami Ink Media could represent Mami of Multiples and was able to experience a High-Octane Date Night in Orlando.

From Sili…
Last weekend I had the pleasure of doing something a little different. I listed “go out on more dates” as a resolution this year and I am happy that I can check at least one thing off that list. What did I do, you ask?

Orlando has so much to offer. I love that although I’ve lived here most of my life, I still find great things to do and great places to dine. I had the great pleasure of going on a High-Octane date last week with a certain young man also known as “daddy” around the house.

Why was it high-octane? We got a chance to DANCE! Not at a club. Oh no no no. We went for a salsa lesson at Arthur Murray. And wow! I’ve wanted to go for so long and was never able to talk him into going. How did I do it? Oh, I told him all about this fabulous restaurant we were going to. About how perfect the food was, about how it’s the best Brazilian steakhouse in the state. I told him we were headed to Fogo de Chão.

The day before our date I told him, oh we are stopping by for a little dancing to work up an appetite. At this point, all he was thinking about were the 15 cuts of meats that he would surely be getting a chance to try and of course, he didn’t argue. He enjoyed the dancing more than I did and even said we would do it again. So that was a big success. Afterwards? Dinner did not disappoint.

Fogo has amazing food, there’s no arguing that. Succulent cuts of meats and a salad bar to envy. But, that’s not why I love the place. Inevitably (as with so many things in this life) it’s about the people.

Lindsay, our server, was friendly, fun and energetic. It almost felt like we were at her house for dinner. Attentiveness, attention to detail on top of the above-board food is definitely something to behold at Fogo.

“We are a vibrant, expressive, fun dining experience, which is a little different than what you might encounter at other high-end steakhouses here,” says Head Gaucho Chef Paulo Simonetti. “Our guests are naturally drawn to lively atmospheres and are generally eager to experience life at its fullest, so our date-night suggestions are the perfect prelude to an evening at Fogo.”

Their suggestions include dancing, which I already told you about but, minutes from the restaurant you can also enjoy:

Twilight Helicopter Tour — a brilliant flight at 11,000 feet to see the city in a whole new way.

Zip Lining — a daring physical feat directly over Florida alligators and Nile crocodiles.
Indoor Skydiving — an adrenaline-boosting sensation of free-fall without a parachute.
Go-Kart Racing — a fast and furious race in electric Italian pro-karts that reach 50 mph.
Reverse Bungee Jumping — a mix of fun and fright that shoots riders straight to the stars 390 feet above ground.

If you want to impress that certain someone in your life with something memorable, I highly recommend you make your reservations to Fogo de Chão right now.
