    We were a larger party celebrating a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed our experience very much. We had the seafood stew (excellent and piping hot), NY Steak (perfectly med rare), Filet Mignon (nice portion 7oz, not too huge, tender and also med rare. I recommend to include the sherry mushroom sauce for the filet mignon, I had it on the side), the braised short ribs (fork tender and amazing sauce), and Octopus with forbidden rice & squid ink (superb, supple, perfectly tender and full of flavor). We also had the vegetable sides; eggplant, cauliflower (only miss for us, too sweet for us), Yukon gold potatoes with chimmichurri (so deliciously creamy). We had a member in our party that's allergic to gluten and corn! The waiter was so thoughtful, he had the chef mark a menu with check marks next to items that my friend was safe to consume. Also, he had the kitchen separate out the polenta braised short ribs so she can share the dish without cross contamination. The waiter did this discreetly with my friend so nobody felt uncomfortable. We all enjoyed our experience very much. Thank you, Lolinda, for a delightful, perfectly prepared meal and lovely service. 10/10, highly recommend this restaurant.

    Had a great Christmas Eve dinner with the family. Everything was excellent: the pork chop, ribeye, and salmon. The apple dessert was delicious.

    It was an amazing dinner! The food, ambiance, and service were on point. Our waiter, Brian, had wonderful suggestions, and the timing of the dishes coming out of the kitchen was perfect. Don't miss the ceviche with corn fritters or the pulpo. The cocktails are a wonderful addition to the meal. Wonderful restaurant and service made for a perfect evening. I will definitely be coming back.

    If you are looking for Argentinian cuisine, this is NOT the place to go. I wanted to have Argentinian cuisine for my birthday, First thing I asked as I walked in, Will I experience Argentinian cuisine and was told “For Sure” I ordered empanadas to start, awful food, bland flavors, not good. Chimichurri was parsley with oil , terrible. I order a tortilla de paps that never arrived. My gool with this review, which I don’t often do, is to save you the money and the disappointment.

    Service overall good. The ceviche mixto, Morcilla blood sausage, and filet mignon were delicious. The tables are very close together, so we could hear other people’s conversations. I received a free dessert for my birthday, which was a welcome surprise.

    We had reservations for a table for 5 on a busy Saturday night, and were seated right when we got there. The food and service was great, the ambiance was pleasant, and our server, Brian, was fantastic. We were there celebrating my wedding the night before and mine and my wife's birthdays the day after. They brought us over glasses of champagne to start and a couple of great desserts to close things out. We'll absolutely be back.

    This is an amazing restaurant! Me and my partner went for the first time and we loved everything about it. The food, the drinks, the service, the ambiance… I’m so happy we found a good Latin American fusion restaurant.
