LuckySeptember 28, 2014Bife de Chorizo was amazing with side Acelga (perfect touch of side spice) --> will come again just for that! Top floor more quiet, dark and private than the hectic open space
Iris NgNovember 29, 2014Steak and empanadas are sooo good! Their chimichurri sauce hmm. Reservations recommended and be prepared for some tasty tapas and steak in dimly lit/kinda noisy restaurant.
Chris WeberNovember 6, 2021A very meat-driven place.So obviously everything you‘ll have from the grill is great.The Ribeye is the king.Good wines & drinks.The cauliflower was our favorite starter. Great place.
Damian BayonaApril 2, 2018Great setting and amazing Argentinian food. Start w the pork belly and end w a steak. The chicken is tasty too but still not as good as the beef. Great for the next time you are craving red meat 👍🏻
Natasha WApril 11, 2013Croquettas and ceviche are musts. The wine list is overwhelming but well priced. We had a great wine from Portugal and a carmenere from chile. Just ask your server for assistance!
Marvin ChowJune 25, 2014Ceviche and octopus salad were delicious. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere for a fun night out. Bone Marrow (pictured) was a favorite by other but not me :)
Jessica LinMay 1, 2015I wish I could have tried all the meat!!! Had ceviche, ribeye, short rib, and bone marrow, which were all excellent and perfectly flavored. Meyer lemon panna cotta was also bomb.
Adrian PhillipsNovember 22, 2015Start with empanadas and the ricotta croquettes. The croquettes were so smooth and puffy we ordered two servings. The NY Strip is a solid steak to split between a few people. Try a cocktail too.
Joanna FlammOctober 10, 2016My favorite restaurant and rooftop bar! Lolinda is an Argentinian steakhouse and El Techo is the rooftop bar on top that serves really good apps and margs.
I'm in love with this tapas-style steakhouse. Order the Croquetas, Carne Empanadas, Pork Chop, Flank Steak and a side order of the Papas. Pair it with one of their signature cocktails & you're golden!
Amir MirzaeeOctober 6, 2014Everything is amazing. Get the ceviche, the pulpo, palm heart salad, pork belly, the outstanding pork chop, the gaucho rib eye, the peanut mousse and a daiquiri anejo.
T ZMay 5, 2016Get the grilled peppers, ceviche (corn is super super good), bone marrow, and New York steak
- Adena BrenowitzJuly 25, 2018Really delicious pescatarian options even at a steak house. Burrata plantains, ceviche, and octopus were all awesome! Also their cocktails are unique and tasty!
Luke AndrewsJuly 20, 2013Excellent cocktails and, even on a busy night for the restaurant, it's possible to get a seat at the upstairs bar. 50/50 Martini is nearly perfect. Did I mention the food is really good too?
Alexander WinterMay 10, 20131st off, the food is AMAZE. The cocktails are DELECT. But what sets this apart is the beautiful rooftop space with gorgeous views and friendly, smiley staff.
My favorite place for red meat. I brought many of my friends and they all loved it. Go for the bife de chorizo, it’s the best rib eye I ever had.
SaraNovember 18, 2016If no tables -- go up to the bar upstairs, order drinks, and food while you wait. Generally bar space is tight, but you can find something. Host will get you when a table frees up. Restaurant hack.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014With its combination of “Latin American flavors with Californian sensibilities,” Lolinda puts most Argentinian steakhouses to shame. Every single dish on the menu is absolutely perfect.
Meats here are amazing! I love the Ribeye, it don't ignore the pork chop, it's amazing as well.
Jacob GyllenstiernaFebruary 3, 2013Start with the Carpenter's Hand cocktail. Order the empanadas and the lentil salad and share the Asado Mixto. Drink a Malbec and finish with the peanut butter mousse. Amazing.
Noah WeissSeptember 18, 2012I can't remember which of the individual drinks were particularly good because they were all so boozy, but I know they were all very good.
Chris MessinaOctober 2, 2018HH: Daily 5:30-7pm; $7 Old Fashioned and Fernet and Coke, select $7 glasses of wine, $2 puffed Peruvian corn, $6 house-made beef jerky, $7 empanadas, and more
CarissaJuly 7, 2018ceviche mixto, squash blossom and flat iron steak were all awesome, full of flavor!
It's like they went into my dreams and made the perfect menu. Delicious steak, ceviche, empanadas, grilled artichokes, dulce de leche, malbec, bourbon-based drinks.
YJ HanApril 1, 2015Amazing meat... Superb service: Sherry with bone marrow recommendation was absolutely fantastic. Thanks! I enjoyed lovely time and food very much!
Mike O'SullivanJune 28, 2015flank steak with chimichurri is one of the best I've had. Chicken empanadas are delicious - don't be turned off by the raisins.
Florian KoenigsbergerSeptember 16, 2014The chicken empanadas are exceptional, the croquetas are amazing too. Bone marrow is delicious too but very rich - not for the faint of stomach.
Fernando CovasJune 29, 2015High quality meats, but can serve them overcooked... Try their corn empanadas: so good! Service can be slow, as they seem to get pretty busy.
Get the skirt steak or porkchop to balance out the ceviche you should start with. The corn fritter thing in the ceviche is amazing.
Isabel SwartzSeptember 7, 2019The cocktails are excellent. Good Palomas and the cocktail called the Devil’s Dance is a really nice take on a mezcal marg
- Allison KaminskiSeptember 9, 2015Amazing meal!! Get the ribeye steak, skirt steak, croquettes, hueso. Get the Shanghai athleti and Juan rosado drinks
Thom MahoneySeptember 13, 2016You can't go wrong here. Very tender and delicious pork shank. Get the ribeye.
Natalie KJuly 24, 2018Empanadas and octopus are awesome. Steak was good but not AMAZING. Good portion sizes for family style sharing.- Alexander WinterJanuary 25, 2013Oaxacan Cross is a delicious smoky mezcal cocktail here. Their Chimichurri is delectable! And their ceviche with fried corn (I don't even like fish usually)
VicSeptember 14, 2017Excellent quality of meat but also that taste!The sides and the desserts were also to die-for.Highly recommended!
petegJune 12, 2013The New York strip steak is amazing, grilled to absolute perfection and served with a grassy chimichurri. I can't stop thinking about it.
Suzanne HollowayMay 19, 2013Delicious! Share small plates. Favorites were the pork belly, bone marrow, croquetas and artichokes. Cocktails also good, service very friendly!
Jes CyMarch 26, 2016Really good empanadas. Great steaks and for dessert you should try the malteada y dulce de leche cookies
Greg StephensonDecember 11, 2017Any kind of steak will be great, but the short rib was a little fatty for my taste. The flat iron was my favorite, very tender
MarikoMarch 24, 2013We particularly enjoyed the choripan, pulpo, and ceviche mixto. Don't forget to try their tres leches for dessert too! So moist and delicious!
Awesome steak for a great price. Shishito peppers are also incredible.
Kemp MullaneyAugust 31, 2015I love all the entrées but the Maduro (ripe plantain, burrata, chimichurri, jicama salsa) is amazing!
Order a bone marrow or a tartar, some croquetas, and a plate with different kinds of meat. Go downstairs, upstairs is usually too noisy.- Nate BeattyFebruary 27, 2015Three small plates, a steak, and a side is good for two. Everything I had was unbelievably good. Get the Ceviche.
Nic MirandaJune 5, 2013Gluten free? Ask for the off-the-menu Flourless Chocolate Cake. It's absolutely delicious!
18 oz ribeye with the best chimichurri sauce ever. Get a side of potatoes... Or two. Get a baby octopus app while you're at it, you're welcome
The bone marrow, artichoke with aioli, and peanut butter mousse dessert are a few of my favorite dishes!
