This place is pretty average/below average for Palermo. There is nothing really special about it…read more It's a pretty big space but I found the seating super uncomfortable. The drinks were the same you can get at any bar in Palermo. The food is just average. The service isn't great. Feel free to skip.

Rumor had it that their tortillas are among the best in the city. There are several choices, we…read morewent with a classic tortilla española. And it's huge as an appetizer for two. We ended up bringing half of it home. 250 pesos And, it's not just a pretty shell - it really is, I'm fairly certain, the best tortilla española I've ever had. It's packed with not quite set egg (optionally, you can ask for it well cooked through - they ask your preference when you order), perfectly cooked potatoes, peas, green onions, and cantimpalo sausage. We'd have both been happy just splitting that for lunch and calling it a day. Our waiter had very nicely let us know that all the portions are huge and that even just ordering the tortilla and one main course was likely more than we could finish. He was right - as I said, we took half the tortilla home, and this shellfish rice, unlike so many of them here that are all rice and a few scattered bits of shellfish, was jam packed with calamari, scallops, mussels, and shrimp. We ate a little over half of it as is, and then picked out all the rest of the shellfish. I guess we could have left it as is and brought half of it home too! 380 pesos. Overall, a really enjoyable place for lunch if you're out in Colegiales, and worth the trip if you're not. Very happily recommended.

Way overpriced. Slow service We ordered the tortilla, which…read morewas normal and dry and a couple other dishes that were nothing to write home about but priced as so. Recommend Esperanzo de LOS ascurro instead.

A group of six of us enjoyed dinner at La Robla on a Saturday evening. We were seated at a huge…read moreround booth that was comfortable. Service in Argentina is slower than in the U.S., so adjust your expectations. Unfortunately, our server was even slower than we normally experience in BA and seemed depressed. Even in BA our expectation is that a basket of bread (or something) and menus would be brought to the table within a couple of minutes. Instead, we sat with nothing until the server appeared 15 minutes later. It took another 15 minutes for her to return. Very disappointing service. We ordered a pair of tortillas as an appetizer, which were perfectly fine, and then several paellas to share as a communal dinner. The portions were very generous, but amounted to a great deal of rice and not much seafood. very ordinary and uninspired. Such a shame for a Spanish restaurant. We used to come here often when it was inhabited by an excellent restaurant called Roof. We were dismayed when it closed. The ambiance, was upscale, dark and sexy. Service was excellent. Understandably wanting to establish their own personality on the space, La Robla changed the ambiance completely. It would be okay, but the bright lighting destroys any sense of .atmosphere or drama. Food: 3 stars Service: 2 stars Ambiance: 3 stars This space, which quite large, has so much potential and could be easily transformed by a skilled designer into something special But none of that matters when you almost never get a visit from your server.

Traditional milanesas, daily stews, massive tortillas and sandwiches, assorted "asado" platters, gargantuan oven-roasts, excellent house-made pasta on weekends, everything done on premises just like an old italian or spanish granma would have made it. Even more points for being ALWAYS open, from 8 in the AM until... 2, 3 AM!!!
