My party of four were met with smiles from about five hosts dressed in black; that was nice, but what followed was not. We arrived on time for our 6:40 PM reservation but were asked to allow five to ten minutes to clear the table. We waited about 30 minutes, witnessing the same hosts telling everyone after us the same story about waiting only an additional five to ten minutes to clear the table. Some of those groups were seated before us though we were there first! I had to walk up to remind them of my party's name and reservation! The empanadas were very delicious. Soft drinks are NOT refillable. The steaks were excellent with a grilled taste, the perfect texture, and a great flavor. The sides were not that great. We had lobster Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant mashed potatoes, and the Mac and cheese didn't have enough lobster in it. It also could have had more sauce. I did not like the flan at all; all I could taste was condensed milk. My husband and kids liked the chocolate cake, which I did not taste (not a chocolate lover). I also bought the confetti cake for home, which I really did not like. The icing was just way too light. Maybe someone else may appreciate that, but I don't like moose-like icings that have to be refrigerated. I do not think it was worth the $415 price tag. It was okay, but I probably won't return. In total, I purchased three 8.oz center cut filets, one order of empanadas, one order of mashed potatoes, one order of Mac and cheese, two Coke zeros, three sweet teas, a confetti cake, a chocolate cake, and flan. I could have saved about $56 if I hadn't gotten any dessert. I wish I hadn't. read more

Our first visit was 9 years ago, and our latest experience was just as good. Excellent food and service. The wine and cocktail menu was extensive, but I was disappointed in the small selection of wines by the glass. read more

I had a reservation for 7:15 p.m. and still had to wait for a table because I requested a booth. The hostesses were not very welcoming, and the seating process seemed unnecessarily slow, especially considering it was a slow night. Our server was knowledgeable and informative throughout the meal. The food was served on hot plates, which was a nice touch, and everything arrived at the proper temperature. The steak was cooked exactly as requested, and all of the sides were flavorful. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake and the bananas Foster. The presentation of the chocolate cake was appealing, but the taste was just average, it seemed as though it had been sitting out for a while. The bananas Foster was also average; it could have been cooked a bit longer, and the presentation was somewhat sloppy. Overall, the service was acceptable, but given how slow the restaurant was, I expected a more attentive and welcoming experience from the moment we arrived. Based on the visit and experience I'm not eager to return or recommend to others. read more

We visited Pampas for a special occasion after hearing so many great things. I want to recognize the hostesses and Deja, who were warm, welcoming, and made us feel appreciated from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was disappointing. I noted my food allergies in our reservation and had a few questions to ensure my meal was safe. Instead of feeling supported, I felt like I was inconveniencing our server. When I asked if I could speak with the chef or someone knowledgeable about the ingredients, I was told the chef was "too busy." We don't like making a scene in person, especially when the restaurant was very quiet, so we chose to address our concerns afterward by another means. Unfortunately, we have not received a response. Food allergies are a medical concern, not a preference. For a restaurant at this level, I expected better communication and a greater focus on guest safety. Spending a very large amount of money on our dinner should have left us feeling celebrated, not like a burden. read more

Service was good but management not so much. We visited Pampas for a Father's Day lunch/dinner and, unfortunately, experienced a situation that was handled very poorly. The food itself was very good, and accidents certainly happen. During our meal, however, a food runner spilled gravy all over my daughter's hair, shirt, and pants. While the spill itself was upsetting, what disappointed us most was the lack of concern and follow-up from management afterward. We remained calm, understanding, and did not make a scene. My daughter was covered in sauce in her hair, blouse and white pants and had plans afterward that had to be canceled because she needed to go home and change. Despite this, no manager came to check on her, apologize directly to her, or ask if there was anything they could do to help make the situation right. Instead, we were told from across the table that the gratuity would be removed from the bill. While we appreciated the gesture, it felt like the minimum response to a situation that significantly impacted a guest's experience. A sincere apology and genuine concern would have gone a long way. Again, the food was excellent, and this review is not about an honest mistake by a staff member. It is about how management responds when something goes wrong. Hospitality is measured not only by the quality of the meal but by how guests are treated when issues arise. In this case, Pampas fell short, and I hope management uses this as an opportunity to improve. read more

We went in for a Monday night date night. It wasn't very busy. It had a perfect lighting for an intimate date night. The wall art was a little weird. There was a giant martini glass I thought would have been appropriate for a billiards place but my boyfriend found it appropriate for a steak house. We both agreed the other art on the walls was a bit out of place but it made for a good conversation starter. The bread they brought out was absolutely perfect. The chimichurri was delicious and fresh. I liked the empanada starter also..Out of two snafus we had - one -we ordered drinks and were charged for a higher tier drink so check your receipts. He didn't bring it to anyone's attention but that's how he is. I really enjoyed the spinach and the lobster Mac and cheese had a decent amount of lobster but the sauce was very thin.The other snafu was the lamb chops were overly salted - and that's saying a lot for me ..which was a shame bc they had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. Again, he wouldn't bring it to anyone's attention so they couldn't do anything about it. My steak was actually perfectly cooked and tender just not flavorful. The food was presented well with the flames.. I liked that touch. Service was good but the left hand didn't communicate with the right hand. We would place an order and then someone would come behind and tell us the specials or they brought the cuts of meat out after we ordered. We didn't order dessert. read more

This was an all around amazing meal. From start to finish, the waitstaff was very attentive and forthcoming with wine pairings and food suggestions. They were very detailed about the different cuts of meat available. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. It made for a perfect date night. read more

We've always enjoyed this restaurant for the ambiance food & service and occasionally came specifically for their foie gras, so we were disappointed to learn it was removed from the menu just last week. Still, we decided to stay and have dinner. We had a 6:30 reservation but arrived 10-15 minutes early and were seated right away since the dining room had plenty of open tables. We ordered oysters, ceviche, and soup to start -- all three appetizers were brought out at the same time without checking if we preferred them staggered. The oysters were fresh and the soup tasted good, but the ceviche was just okay. The bigger issue was the wine service. We ordered a bottle of white wine to enjoy with our seafood, but waited nearly 30 minutes with all the appetizers already on the table and still no wine. We had to ask multiple times before it finally arrived -- and unfortunately it was room temperature. They told us it was their last bottle and needed 15-20 minutes to chill it on ice. Since our food was already getting warm on the table, we asked for a different chilled bottle, but that too took a long time to come out. By the time we finally had wine, it had been about 40 minutes since we were seated. Service continued to slip. A buss boy arrived carrying entrées for the wrong table, trying to make room on our already full table of empty appetizer plates. This created more confusion before our actual dishes -- a rack of lamb and sides -- eventually arrived. The food itself was good, but the overall experience was disappointing. Even at the end, our wine glasses were empty and our server walked past without checking the bottle or refilling them. We had to ask him to please check our bottle and pour the remaining wine. For a restaurant with premium pricing and a long-standing reputation, we expected far better service and attention to detail. The staff felt untrained and unorganized throughout the evening. The manager did come by after we'd already paid and offered dessert on the house, which we appreciated, but at that point we were no longer in the mood. Unfortunately, based on this visit, we won't be returning. I hope this constructive feedback helps them improve, because the food deserves service that matches the price point and reputation. read more

Very nice atmosphere, excellent service, and good food We got filets medium rare, cooked perfectly and decent quality but not as tender as one would expect. Skillet bread was fantastic as was the wedge salad. Green beans almondine were good though I've had better. Mashed potatoes seemed fresh but too salty for my wife's and my liking. Flan cheesecake and chocolate volcano cake were good though the chocolate volcano seemed to lack the traditional runny chocolate center. Quite pricey but worth the try, especially for the great service. read more

We went for the first time recently and had a solid experience. Ambiance is very old but clean. Kind of heavy old glamour. I'd imagine ppl smoking cigar, kind of feel. Bathroom was nice, big enough and clean. Beware, there's a dress code. Although I don't think they strictly enforce it. Everything we ordered was either very good or good. Steak, scallops, Seabass. We also had Brussels, sweet, potato fries, and sautéed mushrooms, fritto misto, corn and lobster soup, and shrimp cocktail. Steak quality is very good!! My only real negative about food is that I thought the brussels sprouts and cauliflower was a bit on the overdone side. Check out my leftover. The picture I took at the restaurant is too dark because of the overall ambience of the restaurant. The dolce de leche crepe was also drowning in dulce de leche that it was quite overpowering. Flavor was nice. With the dress code and the price point, I think we won't return unless a very special (and specific) occasion arises. The food is definitely good, but if you enjoy smaller portions of creative bites, this place won't be for you. read more

This place has gone downhill! Let's start with the ambiance, The booths are ripping. Everything looks outdated. Now the service. Agnes and Marcus were horrible! You could tell from the beginning she was in a horrible mood! And Marcus was extremely full of himself. They took no ownership for any of the many issues we had! The food took a long time and was overcooked. Overall such a waste of money. Go to H&W instead. read more

Celebrating my birthday at Pompas Steak House was the best decision I ever made. The customer service was amazing. The inside of the restaurant was even better. The bathrooms were very clean and presentable. I really appreciate my birthday cake presented to me at the table. It made me feel special for such a special occasion. Parking was great I had no issues arriving. I would definitely recommend this spot for any special occasion. Thank you and I appreciate the entire staff. I can't wait to see you guys again. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with how my son was treated at Pampas in Duluth. He made an 8:00 PM reservation to celebrate both his girlfriend's birthday and their one-year anniversary. He has dined here multiple times before and typically spends around $300 per visit, so he was excited to return for a special occasion. When they arrived, there were plenty of guests being seated wearing very casual attire--football jerseys, basketball shorts, jeans, and hats. My son, on the other hand, was dressed nicely in khaki dress shorts and a dress shirt. The only issue, apparently, was that he was wearing open-toed leather Birkenstock-style sandals--shoes he has worn there before without any problem. This time, however, they refused to seat him. We asked to speak with a manager, but she would not make any exception. What made the situation worse was the inconsistency and double standard: women were allowed to wear open-toed shoes and sandals as part of their outfits, but my son was told he could not be seated for doing essentially the same thing. When I questioned this, I was told it was acceptable for women "if it looks cute," which is incredibly unprofessional and unfair. To add insult to injury, as my son was leaving, the manager laughed and said, "boy that was fun." That level of disrespect is unacceptable, especially toward a young couple celebrating something meaningful. We ended up calling another nearby CUTS steakhouse, and they welcomed my son immediately. He said the service and food there were far better, amazing in his words I also reached out to the general manager and have yet to receive any response. If Pampas wants to enforce a dress code, it should be clearly stated and applied consistently to everyone. This experience felt arbitrary, unprofessional, and frankly disrespectful. We will not be returning. read more

Everything was salty bc they set salt on fire for "show" on the plate. The lobster mac was so salty it was inedible and I moved the salt off my plate before I put it on. The salt fire was not mentioned on the menu and it really ruined the whole dish. read more

I had the lychee martini which was just the right amount of sweetness and lychee flavor. Then we shared the empanadas. I enjoyed the ham and cheese one the most then chicken and corn and cheese. My fiancé had the beef and ranked it: ham and cheese, corn and cheese, beef, then chicken. He also had the vamos à la playa cocktail which he enjoyed. It was strong, so one was enough. The bread they brought out was warm and good, a little salty. They did a steak presentation, which was cool. Didn't end up getting those steaks but nice presentation. Fiancé ordered the mixed grill, cooked to medium. Everything had good flavor and cooked well, except pork chop. Pork chop was a little over cooked for his liking; however, it was still really tasty. Looking back would probably ask the pork to be cooked medium rare but would definitely get the meal again. Plenty of food left over. Garlic mashed potatoes were really garlic-y but tasted well. I had the Chilean sea bass which was cooked well. I'm not a fan of capers but the beurre blanc sauce was nice regardless. Then I had the sweet potato fries which were a little too sweet with the brown sugar tossed on them. I wouldn't get again but liked the portion size for the price. Finally, we were celebrating my fiancé's birthday, so they brought out a huge complimentary birthday cake. They sliced the top off to feed us then boxed up the rest. It's easily the biggest portion we've ever received for a birthday celebration dessert at a restaurant. The cake part was good. Fiancé didn't care for the icing, said it tasted like ice cream, which he doesn't like, but I enjoyed it. Just too big to finish but liked that we have cake to eat on for days. read more

From the outside it's just another steakhouse or restaurant. Inside it's a whole different story. Upon entering you are met with large sign dictating what is acceptable to be wearing to enter. Once inside you are greeted by the hostess who will coat check your extra layers and check you in if you have a reservation. The bar is fully stocked with a lot of whiskey and many worldly beers or IPAs. Dining room is large and shaped as a roundish room with booths and tables. Staff are plenty and super friendly. If you never been they will bring you out a big ass tray of raw meats for which to choose or to show you a special off menu cut. The sides are all $12 bucks nd served family style (sharable). They start you, as most steak houses do, with homemade bread buns in a skillet. These are buttered with a finishing sea salt on top. Simply craveable. They also come with a small tray of butter, a green pesto or chimichuri as well as a tomato sauce. Prices are reasonable for a high end steak house, but not cheap. I had an 8 oz center cut filet I requested medium (pink center). I got it more medium well, but I didn't send it back...I was hungry. I was expecting this to melt in my mouth, but it did not. It was tender just not as expected. The three British gents I was with all had a rib-eye and finished plus half a potato as big as my head. The final touch was the walking away gift of a fresh backed muffin to be eaten as a breakfast treat. Over all it was really good, but not the greatest steak I have ever had, but maybe cause I am from Texas and we know great steaks. read more

Pampas Steakhouse has been a pleasure every visit, and this birthday celebration was no exception. Yes, it is pricey, but the service, quality, and attention to detail make it the perfect place for a special meal. The eating area is dimly lit and also perfect for romantic meals. Bring your glasses to see the menu! Steaks are exquisite, and all sides and meals seasoned perfectly. Delicious gluten free options. The sausage appetizer and tuna tartare started us off, with filet, lamb, lobster, ribeye and salmon complemented by asparagus and haricots verts. Finished up with a huge slice of birthday cake and creme brûlée. Be aware that parking is limited but valet is available. read more

Super disappointed with my experience tonight. I sat at the bar and was offended by the bartenders who were calling me and other people honey, sweetie,love , dear etc. it was completely out of line. I also ordered my steak medium, which I was told was a slight pink and it was pretty rare. When I asked to send it back to be cooked further, I was questioned several times. I informed the manager of my experience and she just nodded and smiled. Very disappointed !! read more

I've been dining at Pampas for over 20 years, which is why this experience--and the way it was handled afterward--was so disappointing. I took my mother and daughter to Pampas to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday. I requested a nice table and mentioned it was a special occasion. We were welcomed with a card on the table, and the waiter asked if we were celebrating something, so expectations were set appropriately. Unfortunately, things went downhill quickly. My daughter ordered a filet medium, and it arrived raw inside. Not rare--raw. Our waiter never checked on us, and I had to flag him down. By then, my daughter had already cut deep into the steak trying to eat it. The waiter offered to take it back and "finish cooking it," which is not acceptable once a filet has been cut that far. I requested a new steak, which is reasonable. From that point on, the waiter's attitude noticeably changed. By the time the replacement steak finally arrived, my mother and I had already finished our meals. My daughter ended up eating her steak alone with cold sides. When you spend $350 for three people, you expect to dine together--especially on a milestone birthday. I requested a call from a manager. Two days later, Thomas Wilson, VP of Operations, reached out. I explained what happened in detail. His response was essentially, "Clearly we have some work to do on our end." His proposed resolution was for me to come back another night and he would "send out some appetizers." So, to be clear: after a ruined birthday dinner, the solution was for me to return and spend more money in exchange for a few free apps. For a restaurant of Pampas' reputation and price point--and for a loyal customer of two decades--this level of service, recovery, and management response was unacceptable. What should have been a memorable family celebration turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience. read more

The service is Amazing but the food is not so great it tastes burn when they bought out the steak

Very average at best... We've been coming here for years and it's only gotten worse.. the serve is average, food is meh, and we were sat in the back with the little kids after making our reservation 2 months in advance! I would never order seafood here again, and I don't think the steaks are worth the price. Spend your $$$ elsewhere if you want a good meal. read more

A great experience!!! I was here for a work dinner/speaker event in August. The accommodations - there was a private dining room that had a projector and screen for the speaker and presentation, however, it still felt like an elegant diningroom with a corner bar for service and 4 private restrooms - individual bathrooms. It seemed very exclusive and upscale. Fancier than I'm used to LOL The staff was amazing. They were so professional, friendly but not intrusive. There were present if needed, but didn't get in the way nor distract. The only "distraction" for me, was because I was so impressed at the level of professionalism and coordination in the service. Amazing. The tables were set neatly and uniformly, with plenty of room for the salad and bread plates, the water glasses and other beverage glasses and the information pamphlets we put out for the work portion of the evening. The sound system was decent as well and projector and screen were decent quality for quick presentations. The staff assisting with the technology were great and prompt as well. Now for the food. The bread was delicious. They had butter as a topping option and ALSO had pesto and a bruschetta type of tomato topping. I usually only see butter or oil. This was great. The salads were fine. Pretty standard, but very fresh ingredients and perfectly plated. The entree I chose was the salmon and it was excellent!!! Cooked as I requested, well done and still juicy with the wonderful crisp edges (not burnt). The beans were fine and the mashed potatoes were decadent. The dessert!!! OMG the dessert - cheesecake flan!!! Stop it with the deliciousness. i was full, but pushed myself to finish this dessert as I'm not sure if I'll ever be back to this area. What a treat that dessert was. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this location for the work dinner event. I highly recommend this restaurant/business!!! read more

If you're looking to wine and dine or be wined and dined, then look no further than Pampas Steakhouse! Our family treated us to an incredible dinner at Pampas Steakhouse and we felt very spoiled! We ordered so many items, I don't remember them all. I do recall my dover sole entree and sides of potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms. We brought our own red wine, and also ordered espresso martini... twice because it was very good. For dessert, we ordered bananas foster, which came with a show! The food was excellent from start to finish. My fish was cooked perfectly. No complaints. I didn't try any of the meats, so I can't speak for those. Service was wonderful. Our aunt and uncle are regulars here and you can tell the staff values their patronage. We were all taken great care of. read more

We dined here on a Monday night for a celebration dinner. The restaurant wasn't too packed, but service was good. Towards the beginning of the dinner it seemed as if we were being rushed to order but after the food came, the constant checking back stopped. We ordered the tuna tartare for an appetizer & it was seasoned really well. The complimentary bread was also great. The sauces to accompany them were nice. I ordered the Chilean sea bass with the sauce on the side. The sea bass was cooked well but a little bland on the seasoning. My husband ordered the surf & turf and said the same about the fish. His steak was cooked well but the seasoning could have been better. We got creamed corn & potatoes as our sides. Both were good. They gave us a massive piece of chocolate cake for our celebration that we couldn't finish. We took a little bite & then packaged the rest, but it was great. The icing is very rich & the cake is moist. Overall, it was a nice restaurant. I think comparatively to other steakhouses in the area, it isn't the best but it's still a good meal. read more

Food here was amazing 10/10! I ordered the center cut filet and it was perfect. That being said, the service was not for me. It was difficult to have any conversations because staff kept interrupting. The specials were explained for what seemed like 5 minutes straight. Also, I was there for only an hour and I think my water was refilled 6 times. Two staff members kept asking to take away plates with 80% of the food still on there. If you like that type of service then this is for you. But for me, I couldn't relax one bit because I knew I would be interrupted or asked something by staff any minute. read more

Let's start with the not so good. I ordered the crab cakes which would have been cooked. They gave us cold crabs. It was okay. Not really good. We didn't say anything because we thought that maybe we read crab cakes wrong but after going through the menu today I realize that they brought us the wrong item. That's disappointing they messed that up. The good. I would like to highlight the service. Malisa and Lisa served us. They were excellent. Especially Malisa whom serviced us alot towards the end of our dinner. The ambience is very nice and they had live music. The food was good. I had a lamb chops and my husband had a steak. We ordered wine and we had a cake for dessert. Overall a good experience. Plenty of parking. Be prepared to spend some money here. For two people we spent about $300.00 with tip. read more

The service here is phenomenal! The cocktails were great, strong but balanced. The steak was cooked perfectly and we loved the char it had. The lobster mac didn't have a lot of flavor and was runny, but the brussels were good. The vibe is very much old school steakhouse - classic if not a little outdated. Overall, very much worth coming to for a special occasion or fancier date night! read more

After coming here to celebrate special occasions for nearly twenty years, I'm done with Pampas. We've had our ups and downs over the years, but last night was the last straw. A group of six of us went to our favorite local steakhouse to celebrate my mother's life; we'd been there with her several times and always brought our own wine. Apparently, a recent change in corporate policy has disallowed the opening of large format bottles unless they're purchased from the restaurant. Apparently, the two bottles of wine you're allowed to bring to dinner can't be in one container; it actually has to be two separate bottles. After arguing with the GM that we'd brought our own magnums previously, and discovering that none of the managers I used to know were still employed there, I gave up. Honestly, it's my fault for not reading the attachment their wine director sent prior to us arriving, but the net result ruined the mood, and our meal. Still doesn't make any sense to limit the container size; I would have paid a higher price to open it. After sifting through their wine list, we finally found a decent bottle at a reasonable price that wasn't out of stock. This took several trips to the bar; we seriously almost left. At this point, we've been seated for 45 minutes and they still hadn't taken our order. They finally brought out soup and appetizers, but no salads. When the salads arrived, they weren't right. When my medium steak arrived, it was rare. Everything they did last night had something wrong with it, including starting off on the wrong foot with the wine policy. Wait; they did bring us a free dessert tray, which we consumed and I thanked them for. But, it was too little, too late. There are plenty of other restaurants where I can get $100 steaks that don't care what format my wine comes in. read more

Very clean and great ambiance inside. Angus and Billy were are team servers and did a great job. Almost too good a little too attentive if that even makes sense. Cleaning the table as we were still enjoying things and interrupting our conversations every 5-10 min to check on us. I have never wrote a review saying to attentive but it was the vibe we got. The food was amazing. This is a very high end steakhouse and they show it with their food. The wine was good and they had a huge selection to choose from. We would return if we were in the area. read more

While I wasn't wowed by the food at Pampas, I want to first give a huge shoutout to one of the best servers we've had- Ashley! Loved her service and the steak walk through. Moving on...Pampas is an old-fashioned, white-cloth restaurant. The customers are on the (much) older side and the food was pricey and just okay. While service was amazing, the food left more to be desired. - Tomato soup (1/5): sour, spicy, and not creamy. Big pass. - Ribeye cap (2/5): good flavor, but way too tough with not enough fat. I ordered this medium but it came out close to raw. - Filet (1/5): this was ordered medium but came out completely raw with no flavor. - Lobster mac (5/5): great! - Lyonaisse potatoes (4/5): delicious! - Mashed potatoes (2/5): it's strange being disappointed by mashed potatoes, but they came out almost rubbery. - Chocolate cake (5/5): the star of the night. If you love chocolate, definitely get this. A delicious, rich, fudge layered between moist chocolate cake. A must order. read more

Pampas, oh my have you have fallen in disgrace. This once amazing gem of a restaurant can no longer provide its diners with a steak that even rivals Longhorn. Pros: - the bartenders and drinks are as good or better than any in the Alpharetta area. Bar service is excellent! - the side dishes are delicious. Cons: the steaks are inedible. They are subpar cuts of meat, under seasoned, with no sear. We were provided a side of butter to compensate for the lack of quality of the meat. I'm without words to describe how bad the steak was. Seabass - the highlight of their dishes which I have always loved. It was undercooked and swimming in sauce. Such a disappointing difference from what once was the best seabass dish in all of north Fulton. - Management - we brought the issues to the attention of management, who responded with indifference. It was evident that they knew their chef and kitchen staff were no longer qualified to provide a quality meal to their customers. We spend $350 for two people on our meal tonight. We left knowing that not only was this restaurant in complete decline, but that management knew it as well. RIP PAMPAS. read more

After driving by for years, decided to give it a go. We were promptly seated and then sat for a good 5 minutes without a drink menu: when we were approached, service was friendly and provided the menu, but wasn't knowledgeable about any of the wine. Referred us to someone else, who referred us to someone else. 15 minutes after being seated we were able to order our drinks. All this to say, service was clunky and remained that way through the evening. Dinner was decent - had a watercress salad that was overdressed (for me) and had nut bark versus candied nuts on it making it difficult to eat. My filet was done perfectly and was delicious, husbands NYStrip was good in flavor though slightly tough. He loved the lobster mac because it was 'juicy', but I prefer it to be more creamy & thought lobster was dry. Brussels were good though the bottom of the bowl had a lot of sweet & sour type of sauce. Large space and vibrant environment with full tables of families and date night couples. It was a good meal and something to try, but there are a lot of options for steak on the area as well. read more

Whew chile, where do I begin?!?! I came here by sheer coincidence. I had reservations at another restaurant that had to be cancelled and this place was next on my list. Initially I did not have a reservation so we were told to sit at a high top, "just choose one" is what we were told. We weren't led there and not even given in a menu. We were told it would be almost an hour for a regular table. First red flag. So while seated I opened up OpenTable and saw there was a reservation available within ten minutes. So I booked a reservation while sitting at a high top. They refused to sit us until exactly 7:15, even though the table was empty and it was roughly 7:10. Truth be told, we drove so far that I was determined to see this through. The whole vibe was nice, a live singer brought a certain classy ambiance. Finally got a table and things started looking up. Our waiters were great, very knowledgeable and helpful. We ordered the Pampas Tower, lobster bisque and I had the surf and turf (Chilean sea bass and filet mignon). The food was excellent, I won't lie. Service was great. But when I saw the final bill- I damn near passed out. Bottom line- this was a very nice restaurant but I have had better that didn't break the whole bank. Grade: B read more

We are at Pampas on December 13th. While the food was good, the service was terrible! Very very slow. We waited at least 10 minutes to be greeted once we sat at our table and before being offered water. We had to ask for bread. It took 45 minutes to get our entree after we ordered it. Our water glasses sat empty. I expected more for celebratory dinner at a very expensive steak house. Sadly I am not sure we would return since it was such bad service. read more
