If you're on the fence to try this place, reserve now and go enjoy the night there Went on a Saturday evening. Had a dinner birthday reservation for 4. Got sat right away. Water was served right away. They Brought out the bread and tomatoes right away. Had some really good Argentinian red wine. They even let us do some wine tasting . Our daughter's food came out before ours ! Perfect! They fell in love with the Empanadas! As for my wife and I, we ordered Bife con Hueso. Words can't describe how delicious it was, with the chimi churi ! Cooked to perfection, with the right amount of flavor. Mad props to the chef. And presentation 10/10. The whole evening was just at peace. The food. The drinks. The service. The atmosphere. We'll be coming back again! Happy holidays

I stopped in here on a work trip for dinner. The corner of the cantina was great. The cantina…read moreroom is very chill and the live music was great. Food was mixed. The heirloom tomato salad was not using heirloom tomatoes. They tasted like generic restaurant grade raw tomatoes and were grainy. Great dish but the tomato choice needs to be reconsidered. The Mesa chicken was great. Super tasty and moist. The server was either inexperienced or overwhelmed with tasks. Nice but had entree coming out before salad and a separate issue which resulted in my entree being sent back. Everyone was great with the correction but it definitely seems there are some organizational issues going on. I'd absolutely eat here again and would love to try the main restaurant.

I've been to McAllen frequently in the past several years, but I had always been told that this…read moreplace was "okay, but nothing special", so I avoided it as there are plenty of great options. This time, it was the first option that was recommended, which certainly got my attention. When I walked in, it was obvious that there is a renewal happening here - the restautant itself is getting quite a nice makeover, but while I love a nice ambiance, you can't eat the atmosphere. That said, I love the fact that even though there is lots of great energy in such a lovely space, I could still hear the people across the table. The true test of course is the food. I'd rather have a great meal in a dive bar than so-so food in an elegant room. The good news is that I did not have to choose. I don't know what the food was like before, but clearly what is happening on the plate has been elevated well above "okay, but nothing special". As usual when I travel, I dined with a group. While I very much enjoy the company of others, I also like being able to try taste more dishes, especially when I go somewhere for the first time. That allowed me to swoon over the hamachi crudo, crab cake (a favorite in general), lobster tail (very creative), the bacon mac & cheese, the king salmon, and the carrot cake (another favoriote). I don't love red meat, but my friends were just as effusive about the steaks. There's a real vibe to this place - a pride in the food, the place, and the experience. Go (or go back)!

This is the kind of place that would be a great fit in San Diego, CA area. Just throwing that out there for the franchise consideration. Service was impeccable. Staff was Dressed to impress, always on standby from the sidelines. Ambience was almost similar to a speakeasy vibe- except for the music, which was more current. Music was Low enough to have a conversation. Decor was simply beautiful with great intention - representing a large dark tree with branches made of wood slates dropped down across the ceiling. Our server was named "America". She was personable and kind. The drink menu has Variety of wines and Old Fashion cocktails options. The old fashioned was One of the best we've had and in our top five of favorites. The food was amazing! Just a delicious flavor and presentation. We are not professionals in the industry. We are two retirees who love great food, experiences, and service. If you're not rating this place five stars on food alone- maybe you're missing fine dining experiences in your life. Thank you for bringing two great restaurants (Ambra & ll Forno) to McAllen! You don't find these gems often in the Valley and wish we found it much sooner.
