I'm in Buenos Aires and visited Happening Restaurant--and it was fantastic! I had the ribeye steak, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. We also tried the grilled fish, and it was fresh, tender, and delicious. The service was excellent, and the location is perfect. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended.f read more

This restaurant was recommended to us. Space is huge and ambiance is nice and romantic. There's outdoor seating and with its location in Puerto Madero, we couldn't resist sitting outside. Our server is very friendly. And even if he spoke very little English, we enjoyed the experience. We ordered the tomahawk for two. It was a huge piece and it got me worried how we will be able to finish it. First, the tomahawk was not trimmed as well as I expected. Therefore there were big fatty parts and tendon parts. Secondly, there's not much seasoning to it so it tasted too oily. In short, quality was a bit off. Without chimichurri or salsa criolla and not much seasoning, I didn't appreciate the big piece of meat. read more

Beautiful steak house right on the waterfront. Huge & elegant with a mouth watering menu. Highly recommended by our hotel concierge & it didn't disappoint. My Malbec was smooth, fruity & very satisfying. We started with a delicious bread basket with butter & garlic yogurt. We shared a roasted tomahawk with Spanish potatoes & waited :30 for it to be cooked to order. It was massive, it belonged on the Flintstones, and was so delicious, a real treat! There were two different homemade herb sauces to complement the steak that were wonderful. We brought more than half home. Service was impeccable, portions were beyond generous and prices were a fraction of what they would've cost at home. Sunday afternoons are when the locals have their family meal. Sunday Evening dinner for us was casual and quiet. read more

Good service. Good food. Good selection of food and drink. Great environment in which to eat. First time in Buenas Aires. A good friend suggested Happenings for Argentinian beef. We were not disappointed. Ordered an appetizer of provoleta. The bone in rib eye, and a filet mignon with the potato with bacon and a bottle of Malbec. Way too much food. Really flavorful. Can't believe I ate that much read more

Don't ever think about going there! First of all nobody can speak English. I thought it's a high class place by its look. After I sit on my table I waited 20 minutes and not even a single person came to my table. There were customers came after me and they all got served! That was worse experience I had.. read more

Amazing food and amazing service so many good choices. The atmosphere is really good and sits along the water. I look forward to returning to this place the next time I'm in BA. read more

Bring your appetite. The experience on our last night in Buenos Aires was excellent. Any language gaps with our small amount of Spanish were quickly overcome by the staff wanting to please. The recommended Pequenos Producciones Malbec was a great recommendation. The spinach Bañuelos were terrific. The star of the show was the 800 gram T-Bone steak for two, cooked to perfection. We were very pleased and enjoyed this experience. read more

Went for a walk to Puerto Madero to find a place to eat and we came across Happening. Looked like a nice place so we gave it a shot. Very nice atmosphere. There were a lot of people on dates and other tables had groups of friends. They had a nice selection of wines, we got the Luigi Bosca Malbec. It was excellent. We ordered the Provolone appetizer and it was ok. Part of the bottom was burnt, but not bad. We still ate it and I liked that they added some herbs to the top, not quite chimichuri, but very similar. I had the skirt steak and it was cooked to perfection. It was tender, juicy and so flavorful. There was too much food. I couldn't finish it, but put forth a valiant effort! We ended the meal with flan, which was also excellent. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back! read more

Great service. Got sat right away. Waiter spoke enough English to understand us. Definitely cheaper compared to most of the other restaurants near by but still expensive. Came to about 1800 pesos per person and that's with 2 bottles of Malbec wine, beer, apps, and steak. The wine was so good must have and it was like 18$ U.S per bottle. Had English menus too. I took picture of the most recent menu prices. Steak was very juicy. If you are in Argentina you have to get the steak. We tipped our waiter very well and after that he gave us free lemon shots before we left. He was amazing! read more

One of my favorite restaurant experiences to date!! This was my first time in Buenos Aires so I had no idea how good the meat was. I also never had a cow neck which was surprisingly amazing. The wine was also some of the best I've ever had read more

IMO a restaurant wins or loses 1/2 the battle with its staff. We walked into happening and maybe staff thought we were suppliers or someone to get payment. No body welcomes you, smiles, or shows interest on caring service. They are in the service industry. We ordered beers and appetizers and still the charisma was more dry than sahara. We almost asked for the check to get main course at nearby place. 3 rounds of beers later and done w appetizers a new waiter served us with a vastly improved attitude. He made small talk on main courses which were great food and we ended up happy but I personally had suggested happening as a good option in Puerto Madero.... until I check it out by myself again I will not bring a group there. We just arrived from Brasil to BsAs and the contrast in service at restaurants was night and day. Note only at Happening since we just got to the city. I look forward to better trained staff. They CA. Make much more money with a few more smiles :) Drinks, appetizers and main courses were timely and flawless. Great plates overall. We were there for lunch around 3pm and total bill was around 700 pesos per capita. Nothing will be disappointing.... but the behavior from staff can ruin the experience. Manager has to teach and train more welcoming greeting behavior. read more

The food was great, we stuck to the steaks. I got the traditional Argentinian Vacio steak and my friends tried the prime rib. All were cooked the way we asked and delicious. (I tried some of theirs as well). We also shared a salad as an appetizer that had sliced ham, mozzarella, mango slices and spinach -yum! Two bottles of wine and one of my friends had Stella which was on tap. read more

Best steaks and service in town. Its rival next door comes close, but Happenings is by far the better of the two for many reasons. Most important - better tasting steaks. Second - prices are better. Third - service is better. So in a nut shell - better... read more

Beautiful country - people are respectful - and the food is delicious.

Very nicely presented and done grilled food especially like their seafood. Price is extremely reasonable in this area! Wine in this area is overpriced but not in this restaurant. We ordered a bottle of wine here for a price of a glass in the other nearby restaurants. read more

This is a great spot for a nice dinner, steak are very good and the service is better than the surrounding area for sure. The restaurant is upper class and offers an elegant look and design. The water and bread are average nothing to run home about, steaks were good and sides were average. It's definitely overpriced, but that's usually because of the area and mark up for tourist. read more

I  had been in this restaurant several times; and today, I found out the quality in every aspects have been dropped drastically. 1. When I ordered a glass of wine, It was able to choose what brand I want to drink, but the glass came with some kind of wine already being poured. 2. I ordered a steak with medium rare, but it came with obvious well-done. 3. When I indicated it was not cooked with medium rare, a waiter insisted that the stake was medium rare... (If what I saw was medium rare, the well-done steak in this place will be a black charcoal!) 4. Ice cream which I ordered for my dessert came with drastic reduction in quantity compared to my past visits and most of it was already been melted! 5. With such services, and service charge was included in the receipt, the waiter requested for additional tips. It was an awful dinner... read more

AWFUL TOURIST TRAP. The food is a la carte by design, the prices per piece are VERY high and as they come with no sides you are forced to order them separately which ratchets up that bill. The wine we ordered was substituted with a much higher priced bottle & when that was brought to the servers attention it was met with a shrug, as though it was our fault they didn't have what we asked for. Clearly, they are not banking on return traffic. Would never go back, far too many other great options. Go elsewhere. read more

I had great hope for this restaurant based in some of the reviews. The service was rude. The steak was completely under cooked. I asked for grilled vegetables excluding zucchini but they couldn't accommodate (even though willing to pay) . The waiter was the worst experience I have ever had. read more

Ambiance was lovely and steaks were amazing! Don't forget to order sides with your steak. English menus, rough translations but very helpful. Some staff speak English but all were very helpful. read more

Checked this place out because of some good reviews and wanting to try something different. Upon entering we noticed a few scattered tables occupied, and many waiters standing around doing nothing. One was rubbing his head as if he had a headache. We had a waiter who spoke zero English, but went ahead and ordered an argula salad to share. The argula looked like it had been sitting around for quite awhile, at least 5 days and was visibly wilted. We were unable to get credit for the salad since the waiter couldn't understand us. I asked for my steak to be cooked medium and it came arrived medium rare. It also did not come with any sides. When we were served the bill, we also noticed they had added a $60pp charge for service. We had been told that we might see a $1 or $2USD charge but this was over $3USD per person. Would absolutely not return. read more

This is tied for favorite dinner joint in the city so far. Ojo di Beef ribeye steak con hueso? Bone in ribeye. Perfect steak. My friends had the lemon risotto which I sampled and will return for whenever I am in Buenos Aires. The salmon dish looked a bit weak in size but friends said it was delicious. Great service and very nice ambience, as with most places here a ridiculous good deal if you are paying with cash. Highly recommend! read more

My wifey and I had such a wonderful time here. The waiter was gracias and super friendly. A typical 4 hour dinner with wonderful Malbec. The food was superb. We would come back for sure. No questions asked. Lovely lovely lovely. read more

This is only my second Yelp review ever and I'm giving it to this place in BA because I was almost tempted to pass it by based on some negative reviews. I would have missed out. If you don't walk into the place like an obnoxious tourist screaming for menus in English and wanting service inside of 5 minutes then this place is lovely. They treated us very well, even though I was a bit underdressed for the establishment in my giant hiking boots. They politely offered us menus in English and both the food and wine were fantastic. Is it the cheapest place in town? No, but I've paid far more at overpriced chain restaurants in the states (hello Ruth Chris) with far inferior meat and service. Also you are meant to enjoy your dinner, wine and experience. I quite like not getting rushed out. Expect it to take a hour or two to eat. If you want "fast food" this is not the place for you. But if your willing to have a great experience fantastic food and a beautiful atmosphere...this is the place. Would defiantly come back and I highly recommend it. read more

Amazing Costilla de Asado. Delicious chirizo. The dulce la leche with crepe was also amazing (share it because it is sweet). And the flan is a winner too. read more

High end steakhouse, another place promising a premium burger, in this case of ground rib-eye steak, on a brioche bun, with cheddar, smoked bacon, lettuce, and tomato. They also have a lovely little chart explaining how to order steaks and burgers from "blue" to "well done" and all points in between. Ordered rare, the burger arrived medium well. There are no condiments other than some ketchup to dip the relatively good fries in - asked for mustard, never arrived (it also took over 10 minutes to even get a waiter to the table with a menu - they're pretty inattentive - I was actually just getting ready to stand up and walk out when one of them finally deigned to wander through the section). The bun holds up well, but it's rather sweet, as brioche is wont to be. The burger, albeit overcooked, is well seasoned and a good sized patty. The BLT part is delicious, the cheddar is waxy sandwich slices. It's all around not bad, but it's nothing special, and particularly not for the whopping 240 peso price, especially when you factor in a 50 peso cubierto charge, making it really a 290 peso burger. Good if you feel like overpaying. read more
