We had a wonderful evening at Estancia Maria. Our outside table was comfortable and the ambience was lovely and relaxing. Staff were all lovely and helpful giving you space but were there when we needed a drink top up or to order. We had an assortment of food to try and it was all wonderful. All empanadas, yum. The Eggplant Escabeche was delicious as was the Choripan. Delicious wine went well with all the food. So nice to have a lovely place to enjoy a catch up with friends. Pisco Sour's took us back to South America.

Nice little cosy place! It has a simpler but powerful and authentic menu with signature cocktails, extensive wine selection and home tap beer. The provolone cheese dish is inspiring as well as the trio of empanadas. The chimmichuri in combination with them is heartwarming! The choripan is simple but chorizo elevates the dish and the lomito is spot one as well! The only change with this last dish would’ve been using tenderloin instead. Overall this is a hidden gem.

We had a quick birthday celebration and it was lovely though the new menu caused a couple of issues - to be expected - first day of change over and all. Food great but a little overpriced. Atmosphere on Wednesday evening wonderful - but would be busy during holiday periods.

This place is a gem! I am Argentine myself, so probably a wee bit biased, but I can assure you their tapas style cuisine is delicious and authentic and the wines some of the very best of Argentina and Chile. They are open until late on weekends so a great place to chill with a vino or a cocktail (the BEST caipirinha). Really good Happy Hours deals.

Atmosphere and location great. We waited over an hour for our patter, that had cold meat, cheese and crackers on. The wine was nice, but for a wine bar very limited wine options.
