I am a native Argentinean. This restaurant is the real deal. Have some empanadas, a provoletta, and share a parrillada. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. Absolutely recommended!

Love this place . The bartenders rock. The drinks are unbelievable and made with great mixology natural elements . We ordered the filet which was enough for 2 and mash potatoes can't wait to go back

PureWow: You’ll have to order about five here. Simply have to. Stuffed with beef, chicken, ham and cheese, or veggies and cheese, the plump turnovers are accompanied with a crazy-good, garlicky dip.

Get the ham and cheese empanada, grilled cheese appetizer, and end with the ribeye. All so excellent!

It's good. Tues is half price wine. I'd go again- but not rushing. Try it. Chicken chimi was great. Steak a big chewy. But overall good. We ate outside which was nice at 75 degrees

Intimate, exotic and rustic vibe. Great for a Argentina style date! The wine pairing was nice.

20% off on Fridays for teachers and nurses; reasonably priced, better than its sister restaurant, and it takes reservations

Most of their meat is free range and free of antibiotics. And also delicious.

Sexy Patio, Chimichurri and Raul's handmade craft cocktails--if you cannot go to Buenos Aires, get your Tango on here

Take advantage of their daily special offers. It can make a big difference.

Ok, I want to love it. The ambience is so gorgeous. But overall the food is just ok(and a bit in the expensive side for what it us). One exception, the empanadas.

Ask for Esteban. Best waiter. Not afraid to tell you what is food and what isn't. Top notch service.

Lomo, medium. Chimichurri. Death by juicy meat. That's what she said. Stop it.
Luis QuintAugust 16, 2016
Great service and ambiance.
Chrissy IFebruary 13, 2012
Get the chimichurri sauce to dip your bread in. It's ah-maz-ing.

Cocktails and stuffed yellow pepper

Link Relleno with a Malbec. Do it...do it. Also try a Quilmes with your empenadas.
Dustin CarperJune 28, 2010
Get the filet (it's actually 2 steaks) with spinach mashed potatoes. Medium rare, and you will go home happy.

Get El FIlet (its actually 2 fillets). Unstoppable (especially for the price).
Leslie ChestnutJuly 12, 2010
Mojitoes and caipirinha are exceptional! The food was decent, but the service and wait between orders left A LOT to be desired. All in all, I would certainly give it another shot.

Get the filet with spinach mashed potatoes...yum
tankboyAugust 18, 2012
Sadly underwhelming. Grab s drink but skip the food. Nice staff though.
Riley YorkAugust 4, 2011
The food was just OK. Service wasn't the best. The El Filet was very vainy and kinda gross.
