Great to find a place in AR that really knows how to make pasta. We saved our pasta eating until we…read morefound a place with tens of positive reviews and pics and are glad we did. Another reviewer made a comment that this is not French food. Well, you're in Argentina so it's going to be their spin on it. Some the salads could definitely be French. It certainly looks like a French bistro with the white tile on the walls etc. We sat outside and the thing started well getting a caipirinha and the cute little basket of bread with the beet dip. We ordered the stuffed zucchini blossom with a salad and the highly acclaimed watermelon and tomato salad. Have always wanted to taste stuffed zucchini blossoms and had no idea how bitter they were. It really needed something sweet to offset it and there was nothing on the plate that could help. The rest of the salad was good with the light vinaigrette and the slices of brie but that stuffed zucchini flower - it was way too bitter. If that's the way they all taste I will never order them again. The watermelon and tomato salad had a very nice vinaigrette with lots of fresh herbs some slices of onion and then some really creamy almost like burrata like cheese. It was fantastic. Then we waited, and waited, and waited probably 45 minutes before we got our entrées which were the garganelli pasta with ragout of lamb and the rectangular shaped ravioli filled with ricotta and mushrooms served with sautéed mushrooms on it. Both were excellent but the lamb ragout needed salt and they had taken the salt away from the table after our appetizers and we did not notice. The ricotta and mushroom stuffed pasta was seasoned with the perfect amount of salt and pepper, lots of butter and nicely sautéed mushrooms that had strong mushroom flavor. We might just return for lunch!

There are several things that made this place average overall…read more First thing was that, on arrival, they didn't have my reservation. I made it by web and finalized with an email from the restaurant. Fortunately, I had the email to show that I really did have a reservation. As we ate, I could see other people being refused seating or offered a place on the sidewalk (and it was 30C tonight). So, if you do dine here, despite what I'm saying, then you'd better reserve and preferably by phone. Next, they offered us a table almost directly on the flight path from the front door about four feet away. I rejected that and asked if they could split an unoccupied twin table set for four against a wall and away from traffic (we were two). They refused and indicated another table where one of the seats was directly next to the door. No thanks. Then they offered us some seats in the back section of the restaurant where some servers were busily chowing down before their shift. Maybe it would look nicer later, but not now. No thanks. Finally they split another table of four so at least we were about 20 feet from the front door but still on a flight path to the rear section. It was adequate. I requested a glass of wine and the pour was skimpy for Argentina. In the USA it would be considered generous/typical, but here it was definitely the skimpiest I have ever experienced. In the middle of eating, a cleaning person appeared with a mop, cleaning the front near the serving counter, and in front of us. I couldn't see any evident need to mop just right now. It takes the ambience down a bit - wait til later or start doing this earlier. The food was great, no question about that. However, it was pricier (check the attached menu) than it deserves to be when compared to other places the same or even better in Mendoza and elsewhere in Argentina. Coming from USA, it's almost embarrassing how low the prices are, but that's not my point. Relative to other places, you are getting less value for this admittedly good food. The place is called "bistro" which may give permission to crowd the tables together. However, seating is a bit too tight. Once again, I say this compared to other places of similar or better rating. Just yelp other places with similar rating to this one. It's undeservedly high in my opinion and that's why I think it deserves a three-star.

The menu has salads with warm shrimp or chicken, a dig a station of grilled provolone cheese, your usual meets with slight twists like a eggplant dip on top of your roasted potatoes with your steak. They bring a bread basket with two slices of tomato focaccia, two slices of a cherry wheat bread, one dense white roll and a slice if a soft white bread. It was served with a pickle aioli topped with shredded marinated carrots. Very light and fresh. We tried the empanadas (3 for $155) and they were made with chopped beef and lots of smoky paprika. It was almost too flavorful and great with the pickle aioli. The warm langoustine salad had only five langoustines (which were nicely seasoned and perfectly tender) but lots of arugula and frisée. The arugula was a bit overpowering versus the langoustines. It had 3 thin slices of grilled peach and 3 thin slices of avocado. It also had about 10 cherry tomatoes and two long homemade breadsticks. The salad was lightly dressed in a lemon vinaigrette. Very fresh, light salad. We also had the small ribeye with roasted potatoes topped with an eggplant spread and a small salad. All great flavors. We had asked for the ribeye to come without the cheese but they forgot. We took it off and ate it separately. Service was friendly and efficient. Certainly a modern version if an Argentinean steakhouse.

We made a reservation on WhatsApp, although the restaurant didn't reply and confirm until the day of in the AM. The restaurant is huge with multiple levels, so they're able to seat a lot of people. The menu is extensive and has every cut of beef imaginable. We got the parrilla platter for two which was an extremely generous amount of meat. I think it could have fed four. The sweetbreads were rather gristley and tough, but the steaks were deliciously tender. We loved the black sausage as well which was generously onion and savory. Came down to less than $100 for two people for an absolutely huge amount of food and wine. As expected the wine list was huge, and reasonably priced. Service was very attentive. Staff spoke some English but we got by with pointing just fine.

This spot in Mendoza looks to be very popular with locals and tourist alike. The vibe here is modern with traditional flame broiled beef and extensive Argentine wine list. The service is good with a team approach. Our main waiter noticed my interest in the way they cook and invited me into the kitchen. Awesome to see how they do it! We had the Tomahawks which really was too much for two people sharing. We kept it simple with Mendoza Malbec, empanadas, beef and papas fritas. Spectacular but too much.

We…read moresaw that this place specialized in milanesas, and I liked that they even had an eggplant version for vegetarians, such as myself. At first, we were going to get two milanesas, as well as an order of spaghetti and a salad to share between us, but our waiter strongly suggested against it, saying that the portions were quite large here. We took his word for it, and we opted for a single order of their eggplant milanesa along with the pasta and salad instead. We were glad we heeded his warning, though, because we saw that the eggplant milanesa itself was massive: it came with 3 cutlets total, and each cutlet was fairly hefty on its own. As for the actual food: I thought the eggplant milanesa here was absolutely delicious. It was beautifully coated and fried, so the breadcrumb coating was wonderfully crispy. The pasta and salad went really well with our selection as well. Prices were also really good here and we ended up leaving with our bellies full and our hearts content after having ultimately decided to come by here for dinner. I could definitely see myself coming back here, should I ever find myself in Mendoza again.

If you want a good fried piece of veal (ternera), chicken (pollo) or calamari (rabas) come here…read more They are all called Milanesas but the veal version is called clasico. The medium size is enough for two. They also have every other imaginable piece of fried food - mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets, potatoes, onion rings, langoustines etc...their tag line is "Comer Sin Culpa" or "Eat without guilt." Very appropriate for a menu that is 80% fried food. The calamari were extremely tender but the coating was a very light dusting of a breadcrumb and not the thin tempura style batter we love - still very good just not great. They offer combos and samplers - for example "The Immortal" is a cheddar stuffed double piece of breaded pounded veal on top of a pile of French fries topped with two fried eggs. It is is a heaping pile of food. The regular milanesas also come with a wedge of lemon (very important) and a bowl of fries or mashed potatoes. A salad or premium side dish is available for an extra 35 pesos ($1.85 US.) All of the fried meat options are available as a sandwich as well but then you really lose the flavor of the meat and it becomes about the toppings. Speaking of which we saw lots of folks order the covered fries - looked like a cheddar cheese sauce, onions and maybe strips of pepper- a bowlful for three at least. Patio service was as always in AR - a tad slow. Enjoy the view and the fried goodness!
