Thank you Daniel for your lovely service and attention! Oh boy the apple crumb dessert for two is ah-mazing and that is rare for me since I'm not a sweet chick! Gone in a flash! PS: downside of this experience was it's way overpriced $372 for 2

Dined in 3 January 2024 for a birthday date with my man…read more Whew!! When you see £££ believe it, but add an additional £80 to what you think it might be!! I knew it was pricy, but whew, I was not expecting that!! Color me shocked. As soon as we walked in and saw the dining area, we felt under-dressed for how fancy the setting looked. The lighting looked impressive, the dinnerware was extra sparkly, and the staff looked posh. But, as we walked in, we saw others in sweaters and sneakers. There is a free coat check by the receptionist before you are shown to your seat. She then walks you to your seat and provides the menu before your waitstaff greets you. The view of the bridge lighting up the night from inside is nice if you get a seat near the windows. Our table was more located in the center of the restaurant, but we were still able to have an okay view. Our server was Alessio. He asked for our drinks order: 1x glass of wine, 1x virgin pina colada, and later 1x virgin mojito, then when he returned, he asked if we plan on having steaks. Once I responded yes, he quickly disappeared...I was so confused before he pops back out with a tray of various cuts of steak (see attached image). He then proceeds to explain each cut and recommended pairings. After explaining, he disappears again, assumingly this time to take the tray back. He returned shortly afterward and took our dinner order. We ordered two cuts of churrasco Lomo (we actually wanted the ribeye steak, but I guess he heard otherwise. We didn't fuss.). The steak *was* ahhhmazing!! One steak, for the birthday boy, was topped with a half grilled lobster (yes, grilled lobster is listed on the menu as a "topping"), mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. The other steak was accompanied with roasted vegetables. I'm not sure what type of vegetables were all there, but a few cubes were not pleasing to taste. The carrots, beet, and potato were good, though. While we were eating, a lady randomly came to our table and started pouring us more water. She did not introduce herself but instead asked if there was anything else we needed. She was dressed differently from the rest of the staff, so her presence was so confusing to me. She disappeared out of sight as quickly as she appeared, before I noticed her again at the receptionist desk. It was the weirdest interaction. Minus the unknown vegetables and the unknown lady, the food was great. The setting was great. There were two other parties there celebrating a birthday as well. I planned on having cake or some other dessert to celebrate, but we were entirely too full to even consider it. We didn't even finish our food and had to take some to-go. After we were done eating and decided we did not want dessert, I asked for the bill fully expecting mid-£100s, but was taken aback when I saw the actual amount. Keep in mind, too, 12.50% gratuity was also added. I'm used to automatic gratuity being added for parties of 5 or more, not for 2 people. Wow. Anyway, I paid and we left. Since we were there to celebrate a birthday, I was okay with the cost as I know it would be thee only time I went there. If you want, I would recommend trying it for a one-time experience, but I'm sure you can get similar food and experience somewhere else for a much better price.

I expected great things, and was not disappointed…read more This unassuming spot in Broadway Market gets by on its well deserved reputation alone. From the outside, and when you squint through the window, you won't see anything flash or pretentious (looking at you Gaucho), but just wooden furniture and staff in jeans and over-worn, over-washed baggy restaurant tshirts. It's when you get inside that the smell hits you. My co-eater noted, with some delight, that it even smelt like South America - the meat, the wine, the spices. Mouths were watering. Down to business - friendly, if not a little indifferent, service and rustic, simple décor. In the middle of the room is the huge grill on which the slabs of meat were being cooked. It was fun watching these guys move the meat around, clearly knowledgeable and skilled. The wine we were recommended, a Malbec of course, was damn good. When my food arrived, there was a wry smile on my face. Perhaps it was a boastful smile. The sizzling paradilla that was squeezed onto our table was a meat delight. 2 sausages, 1 black pudding, a slab of provolone and the stars of the show, a huuuuge sirloin and a juicy fillet. Shared between two, this was more than enough. We went for a side of salad to compliment. The meat was fantastic. Really, very good. And the sign of a good steak - the fat from the sirloin was melt-in-your-mouth juicy and tasty. Such a treat. As we were one of the last customers to finish, we witnessed the staff setting up for an end of shift dinner. Steaks, bread, salads and bottles of wine were assembled on the table and they promptly sat down to eat together to see the night out. Nice touch that.

Most of the tables were taken and…read morealthough there was no table for 4 available straight away the waitress moved a couple to an adjacent table and put together a table for four in that place so we were seated almost immediately. The service was good and prompt and our waitress was knowledgeable in their wine list and food. We went for two moo grills (each 2 to share) which contains 200g of flank steak and 200g of sirloin steak, provolone cheese, 2 sausages and grilled tomatoes and onions with two sides each to choose from. The steak was very tender (we went for medium rare) and well seasoned. No sauces or condiments are placed on the table so we had to ask for some. The sausages were OK, could've been better. Total bill came to around £120 for 4 including a bottle of red wine. All in all worth a visit if you're around brick lane and looking for something different than the usual curry houses.

Cocktails, steaks and good wine: what's there not to like?…read more My friends and I were in the neighborhood of Brick lane but weren't in the mood of a curry so we took a chance and went for this Argentinean steakhouse. We were immediately seated, despite not having a reservation on a busy Saturday evening. The waiter was quite helpful in providing menu information and even though we were seated upstairs we were always helped quite promptly. We had some (well quite a lot, actually haha) Argentinian wine: the waiter had knowledge but since we were not very sure, he offered a tasting portion of the ones we were considering! We first had a drink and some loaded nachos: the nachos were just a-ok, nothing too special but our cocktails were not bad, especially considering the happy hour price. As main I went for the 14 oz steak and a side salad (yay for being able to switch sides) which was cooked to perfection. This was honestly one of the better steaks I had in a long while. Even my friend who is not a big beef lover was impressed with the food. In addition, I forgot my scarf and I messaged them afterwards and they were super helpful to trace back my scarf. I am not often around Brick Lane but I will certainly considering going back and recommend Moo Cantina to everyone looking for a good steak meal in London.

The owner, Nico, is wonderful and so friendly and welcoming to his guests. The parilla (grill) is a Argentine traditional grill which makes the meat and veggies taste great and the one at Chimichurris is authentic. Everything was fresh and delicious. We can't wait to come back again. Be sure to get dinner here- you will not be disappointed.

Constancia - hmmm. I…read moreread the enthusiastic reviews, I noted the excited bloggers and I finally had the excuse to go. A friend who is a pure carnivore suggested a meet (I resisted the pun) up so we ended up there on a Tuesday night. Considering the new financial world we live in, this place is doing well, especially as it has only just opened. The menu is Spanish/ English which reflects the authentic Argentinian feel of the place. The staff seem to have been transplanted over and the decor is much like the parrillas/ steakhouses I went to in Buenos Aires (relaxed and dark decor). We ordered empanadas (fantastic) and a meat platter. The meat platter had blood, sausage and steak. Only the steak disappointed which was just an uninteresting cut. I kind of blame myself and will probably go back and try a different one. That said, I might just go to Hawksmoor instead. All in all an enjoyable meal but the steak was no highlight... and that is kind of why you go right? Price - £50 with some malbec and meat

Choripan was delicious but the fried carne empanada was below the expectations.

While we were waiting to "meet the Mayor" we saw three groups try to walk up and be told it would be at least two hours. Even if it's becoming more mainstream, I still love the idea of speakeasies, and the little song and dance to get in to "see" The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town was a fun twist. It's an interesting spot because the primary bar is nothing to look at really, though for us Americans who grew up in the 80's the name ("The Breakfast Club") obviously sucks you in. But to get into Scaredy Cat Town, you definitely should make an online reservation. They're not hard to lock down, but we tried to get something on Thursday for Saturday and they only had bar seats left. Totally fine for just the two of us. When you walk in, you just tell them you're there to see the Mayor and within a few minutes, you are whisked through the door of an oddly placed refrigerator (yes, I've blown the surprise, but the "scaredy" cat is out of the bag by now anyway). The place is pretty much a dive, with an overabundance of random knick-knacks, signs, and what-not. Funky, funny, eclectic - you get it. But don't let that mislead your impression - it's a serious cocktail bar. They've got a wide range of original concoctions to choose from, and both the presentation and tastiness of our selections were excellent. The bartenders are friendly, and the music that night was essentially a playlist of one- and two-hit wonders from the 80's (again, right in our wheelhouse!). Totally fun, and a great way to start off our night! I wholeheartedly recommend that you schedule a meeting with the Mayor soon!
