No me gusta dejar malas reseñas, ya que he visitado este lugar en varias ocasiones y siempre he encontrado el ambiente, el servicio y la comida excelentes. Sin embargo, en esta ocasión asistí con la intención de celebrar, y aunque el ambiente estaba tranquilo al principio, lamentablemente surgió una pelea entre empleados de la cocina. La situación fue tan incómoda que tuvimos que retirarnos por temor a nuestra seguridad. Confío en que puedan tomar en cuenta este tipo de situaciones y fortalecer los protocolos de manejo y resolución de conflictos, para que los clientes puedan seguir disfrutando de la experiencia que usualmente caracteriza a este establecimiento.

Food was served in a rusted old dish after 2 hrs of waiting! Made a reservation for 8:30pm on a Monday, and we dint have a table ready and were made to sit outside for 20mins. We requested that we sit inside because the outside table was very noisy from the street band playing near the Christmas tree. We got sat at a 4 people table for a party for 5. Got drinks only and it’s 10:30pm right now and we are just getting our dinner! Do not go here unless you have someone to spend over 2hrs with… without food at all. We had a 9yr old and she was tired and slept because there was no food for 2 hours!! The excuse we got from the manager was that the printer isn’t working and orders did not come through.. for 2 hrs!!! We had a sleeping tired kid and were just hoping we would get food and that optimism kept us for 2 hrs while the kid eventually passed out. Honestly, it’s 10:34 pm right now and food just arrived and I have also lost my appetite! Don’t bother with this place!! Stay away!!! The least one could do is set expectations and they missed even that with their lame excuses! Also the grilled vegetables were served in a rusted dish! See the pictures! This place is a joke!!

FAQs

Yes. Guests frequently praise the warm, lively atmosphere and call it “perfect for a date or special dinner.” The restaurant’s Argentine grill focus (steaks, parrilladas) and impressive cocktails make it well suited for a romantic evening. Note it can get lively and a bit noisy on busy nights, consider an earlier reservation or weekday booking for a quieter table. Valet parking and attentive service add convenience for a special night out.

Portions tend to be generous for the grilled cuts and shareable plates. The menu lists specific steak sizes (Filet Mignon 10 oz, Bife de Chorizo 14 oz, Ojo de Bife 14 oz, Asado de Tira 16 oz) and offers parrilladas meant for two, so main meat dishes are substantial. Pastas and sides are typical restaurant portions and many guests mention good value, though some guests note occasional richer/saltier preparations.

For a more relaxed experience, visit on weekday evenings or earlier dinner seatings, guests note the restaurant can get busy and lively on holidays and weekends. If you prefer the full lively vibe, weekend nights and special occasions are popular. Always reserve ahead for peak times and large dates.

Warm, lively and stylishly Argentine, guests consistently praise the ambience as excellent for dates and special dinners, with good music and a convivial vibe. It can be noisy on busy nights (live street music or crowds), but many guests find the atmosphere part of the charm alongside attentive service.

Casual dress is appropriate, guests commonly arrive dressed smart-casual for date nights and special dinners. The atmosphere is relaxed but nicely presented, so comfortable yet neat attire works well.

There’s no official waiting-list information provided, but guests report long waits during busy periods, even with a reservation, so it’s wise to reserve ahead and arrive on time. If you’re visiting for a special occasion, call to confirm your reservation on busy nights.

Busiest: weekends and holidays (guests specifically noted Father’s Day and Friday/Saturday nights). Quietest: weekday early evenings or midweek when service tends to feel more relaxed. If you prefer a quieter meal, aim for Monday–Wednesday or an earlier dinner during the week.

Weekdays (Monday–Wednesday) are the best choice for a quieter dining experience. If you’re seeking the full festive vibe, weekends are lively and popular, book ahead. Use weekday visits for a more relaxed dinner and easier seating.

It is at least open on some public holidays, guests specifically reported visiting on Father’s Day and receiving full service. Holiday hours may vary, so call ahead to confirm opening times for a specific public holiday.

Yes, guests have been seated outside (one guest described being placed at an outdoor table near street music). Outdoor seating can be lively and occasionally noisy, so request indoor seating if you prefer a quieter meal.
