There are two options: in the courtyard or inside in one of the fancy salons of the palace. (Note: When you make an invitation you need to tell them whether you want to eat inside or out.) We were in the courtyard and it was lovely. The food was lighter, international food. Maybe it's Nouveau Argentine? We each had amazing salads accompanied by lovely wine. The service seemed a little, um, stressed. Even our Argentine guests were a little irritated at times and Argentines do not appear to complain at restaurants -- ever. As we were leaving, the hostess asked if we want to see the two dining rooms inside the palace. Don't miss it. The inside is beautiful. One caution: if you're going to eat in the courtyard, put on some insect repellant. BA has a bumper crop of mosquitos this year.

The staff were very friendly given we were Americans which is always a toss up at places like this overseas. Our waite helped me pick out a great Chardonnay to pair with the handfull of items we ordered including the tatine tasting plate, a gorgeous garden burratta salad and the famous Argentine Choripán (braised pork shoulder sandwhich). I only wish I had room for dessert.. and just be prepared to fend off the hungry pigeons that attempt to steal a bite occasionally.

The sandwich was delicious and while I would certainly not classify the bread as a "bagel" it was a more appropriate texture for the sandwich than a bagel would have been. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because it was uncomfortably hot inside. I do also wish there were at least a few comfy chairs but I prefer to sip my coffee in a cozy environment as opposed to metal chairs.

The atmosphere inside is warm and charming, exactly the kind of place you want to linger over a long meal. We shared two pasta dishes, both light yet surprisingly satisfying -- the kind of portions that feel just right rather than leaving you stuffed. The standout was the lemon sauce over the tortellini: perfectly balanced, bright, and simply flawless. A genuine 1-of-1. This would have been an effortless 5-star review... if I hadn't gotten locked in the bathroom. Please fix that. Everything else? Perfection.

The first time I went to dine in I was told there was no tables and had to wait which is normal for a late night but then a group of four people arrived and were seated right away. This baffled me but I just waited patiently until the same guy that seated the group told me he had space at the terrace but it was a bit chilly. My server for the night was nice and friendly. The second time I attended was this morning. I wanted to get a quick bite to eat and some coffee. Again, went in and was completely ignored by the lady that was at the entrance which greeted a couple that got there right before me. I had to ask if it was okay for me to seat and they scolded me for asking where after they already said I could seat anywhere. I ordered my food and left with the feeling that they seemed to be annoyed and that's a weird way to treat a paying costumer. Anyway, food was good.

First off, it's on you to figure out whether or not to order your drink at the cocktail stand or the kiosk with the pastries as well as paying through the waitress or at the stands. Secondly, service is terribly, terribly slow and anything besides pastries are a joke - do not get a salad here! The salads are prepacked in clear, plastic containers, and that's how they are served. You literally have to go to the stand to insist hey pick through and offer you one without wilted, dead, dark-green lettuce. Also, tea opens are very limited, which is so confusing and though I asked of the tea comes in a pot or cup and was told it would come in a pot (the only reason I ordered), my tea came in a cup with no explanation. Why would I go to a tea spot for a cup of tea? Some of my friends were frustrated and got coffees to be safe but they all came in to-go cups. I had to remind them 4 times for the little pastry I ordered and had already paid for as well. Go to buy loose-leaf tea, go to take photos, but that's about it.
