    Patagonia Salad (excellent)
    Krystal F.

    The service and ambiance was fantastic! Nice romantic dinner with the husband. Our waiter was Isaíd and he was extremely courteous ensuring that each meal was to our liking. Quick to check-in without interfering with our meal. Morcilla (excellent) tuna tartar, (fantastic) Patagonia Salad, (excellent) lobster Ravioli (under cook pasta & lobster pieces on top were over cooked) Greg Norman Wagyu beef (good, but the cut had too much tendon that it was difficult to cut) Coconut Flan (fantastic) Isaid, notice I did not eat my ravioli and asked what was wrong; and he offered a a carbonara pasta. And although I'm not a fan of creamy pasta, I have to say this pasta was cooked to perfection!!

    Scallop crudo- delicious and different
    Mj A.

    Came here for dinner because my coworker told me about it and after looking at pictures on Yelp I had to try myself. We went around 5pm and parking wasn't bad at all for being downtown. We had reservations for 6:30 but asked if we could be seated sooner and they made it happen. Our server was very nice and kept checking on us which we really liked. We were able to make happy hour so we tried a couple of things on there as well as the dinner menu. The atmosphere was welcoming and all the food we tried were delicious. Perfect place to do a date night. Definitely recommend to try.

    Happy Hour Oyster Rockefeller
    Selina L.

    We came here to celebrate my birthday. I really like this restaurant: the beautiful decor, super clean bathrooms, amazing service, and good food. We came here during happy hour time and ordered a variety of happy hour items to share and splurged on a $72 ribeyes steak. Kids loved the baked oyster Rockefeller and lobster Mac and Cheese the most. We loved both the raw and baked oysters. Our table probably had a total of ~30 oysters . What really disappointed me was the ribeye. We asked for medium rare and as you can see in the photo, it was more like medium well... and we should've sent it back but didn't want to ruin the mood so we ate it. But I feel like at this price point my expectation for that ribeye was very high. Overall, I still really like this restaurant but maybe I give up on ordering steak here after two bad experiences with steak here now. I do really like their happy hour, especially the juicy oysters!

    We celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Piedra Santa and had such an amazing experience! Our server Eric was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire night. He gave us great recommendations on what to order, and every dish he suggested was delicious! Eric truly made our celebration feel special with his outstanding service and positive energy. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner such a memorable one -- we'll definitely be back!

    Really nice spot in little italy! The atmosphere is a bit over the top but if you like the "instagrammable" vibes this is your place. Overall, the food was great and wine was delicious. Our server was super friendly and gave a very generous pour! We've only come here for happy hour so far and can attest that it's worth it. Good prices and great flavor on the steak and oysters. Would most likely come back for a proper dinner given our positive experience so far.

    Entraña Skirt Steak
    Miguel S.

    I really enjoyed this place, the food is amazing. Great atmosphere/noise level is just right, nice interior decorating & seating. Service was really good as well very attentive & helpful. For a steakhouse the price was very affordable. Great selection on wines, they offer a full service bar and they offer happy hour all week. Excellent place for a date night, birthday, or anniversary celebration. Parking is available on street side, or there are two paid parking lots within a block distance. I highly recommend the Entraña skirt steak with the chimichurri sauce it's excellent.

    I joined a group of friends for Happy Hour on a Saturday evening. Take note: Most restaurants only offer these special prices on week days. The food and cocktails were made from high quality ingredients. Our group ordered Argentinian steak with mashed potatoes, beef sliders, Cobb Salad, and hand-made empanadas. The portions are sharable "small plates." The presentation was fancy! The bread loaf had Truffle butter and a wick concealed in the center, which was lit for our enjoyment. The cocktails were unique and created with nice garnishments, I will upgrade to top shelf liquor and enjoy as I sip and cheer with the group. The interior has nice art work, greenery, and dimmed lighting, creating a nice ambiance. Be sure to make reservations to secure your table. Sincerely, Rosemary

    We had a 5:30 PM reservation on Sunday and were welcomed into a calm, inviting space that quickly set the tone for a relaxed evening. We were seated near the open kitchen, which added a fun, immersive touch--watching the chefs in action made the experience feel dynamic and authentic. We chose to order from the regular dinner menu rather than the prix fixe, and we're glad we did. Our server, Juan, greeted us warmly and started us off with water and a freshly baked loaf of bread that was absolutely delicious--lightly crisp on the outside, soft and pillowy inside. The perfect balance. We selected a bottle of wine, which Juan expertly presented and poured, elevating the moment. For dinner, I ordered the skirt steak with chimichurri, and my date chose the Chilean sea bass. (Sides are ordered separately--we shared the mashed potatoes, which were creamy and satisfying.) Both entrées were beautifully prepared and full of flavor. By the time we were midway through dinner, the restaurant had filled up completely--always a great sign. The energy was lively yet intimate, the service remained attentive, and the food continued to impress. This is a wonderful choice for date night or any special occasion. We also noticed their happy hour offerings were very well priced, making it an appealing spot to gather with friends for great bites and drinks at a value. Highly recommend.

    Artisan rustic bread

    First time I seen this restaurant wife and I walked by it thinking this is a cute little spot, and we somehow ended up here for our anniversary. They do offer wheelchair access, so just in case is anyone wants to know they can accommodate. Wife and I sat I the happy hour area, and the menu for the happy hour honestly was really good for what you pay for. They even have bottles on the menu for wine for like $25. I would recommend the tuna tartar, the sauce tastes really good and if you get the bread dip it into the sauce it makes a great flavor. We also had the beef cheek and the meat was very tender and the mash was very delicious. I would say next time I would order a salad as well as we did not order one this time but it's not on the happy hour menu but we saw someone next to us order one and it looked really good. It's great that happy hours are on Sundays also so if you want a late night happy hour with a cute little spot I would recommend coming here. Next time I'll try the prime steak and the sliders. Also my wife love how fresh the oysters tasted on the happy menu she would recommend that !!!

    Braised Beef Cheek
    Loan N.

    Amazing Happy Hour! Friendly service. Easily located on the corner, though parking can be tricky as there's no valet. We loved the dedicated Happy Hour space with beautiful decor. The tuna tartare and beef cheek are must-tries, and you can't beat a $26 bottle of wine for HH! For our entree, the Parrillada for Two is tasty but comes on a sizzling plate. Our medium-rare order ended up medium-well because it kept cooking at the table. Order accordingly.

    Charred Caesar
    Pauline S.

    Our party of 4 went on a Monday night for Restaurant Week so this review is solely on the SDRW menu. I'm glad we made a reservation because the restaurant was pretty busy that night! FOOD: Dinner cost $69 per person and it included an appetizer, main course, and dessert. --Appetizer: Charred Caesar: topped with anchovies. Lettuce was served with whole leaves instead of chopped so while the flavor was great, the dressing wasn't evenly distributed. -Empanada Duo: chicken and beef empanadas served with chimuchurri sauce. These were delicious and I'd order this again! --Main course: Entrana 8oz steak: I enjoyed this better than my husband's New York Center Cut. Served with half a roasted garlic and I loved being able to spread the cloves on the steak. --Extra side add-on: White Cheddar Fontina en Groyere Mac and Cheese ($14): so cheesy and delicious. Surprisingly big enough to share amongst us 4. I'd order this again. --Dessert: I enjoyed the Dulce de Leche Flan more than the Vanilla Panacotta. Both desserts were generous in serving! SERVICE: Wonderful service by our server. Food came out fairly quickly and he checked on us often. ENVIRONMENT: It was a big corner restaurant with 2-4 person tables. As we walked in, I saw that there was a party of maybe around 10-12 sat on a long table. They had a huge wall of wine bottles displayed next to our table and they also had a wall of all the meats served-- both were pretty cool to see. OVERALL: It seemed they had an extensive regular menu and I'd love to come back and check out the other items!

    The HH Argentinian steak with whipped mash potatoes
    Te-see B.

    Located next to the lobby of The Best Western Hotel on the corner of Ash and Columbia in Little Italy. FYI ~ The address is the same as the Hotel but keep walking people...entrance is around the corner. The inside is beautiful and spacious. We were here to see a fellow yelper visiting from out of town. Our group had a table on the side of the bar. We were there for Happy Hour. The cocktail menu is limited but you can order from the regular drink menu for full price, of course:) The HH food options were much better. Unfortunately, our server was not the friendliest and had a hard time remembering our order. Everyone enjoyed their food. The empanada's were popular with our group:) A few got the HH Steak with mash potatoes which they liked but mentioned that it was smaller than the previous time they were here. On a 5 star note ~ The enclosed patio in the front looked like an enchanted forest. Very pretty! I want to sit there if I come back. *Parking can get tricky during peak hours. There are paid lots in the area. Ycan take an Uber/Lyft:) ~ and that's all I have to say about that ~

    Salt room with beautiful lighting and meat
    Amy D.

    Fantastic new spot in town for steaks! Inside of the restaurant features different seating areas that are uniquely decorated. Lots of meat and seafood displays facing the dining room. Service was outstanding! My steak came out slightly rare, not how I ordered it. The server noticed and quickly had it cooked more. Lots of options on sides for your dishes! One comment I would say, things can get expensive. Dishes are served with steak only. All sides must be purchased separately. So this is a good place to go to share dishes with friends! Or for a romantic date night. Food was fantastic. Atmosphere very romantic. Highly recommend a stop.

    Clear 5 stars! I don't understand when people give only 4 stars but don't say anything about why…read morethey took off one star. Argentinian empanadas are my absolute favorite! I strongly prefer the baked method to other styles. This is a small spot at the UTC Westfield mall. It's best to order food and then go find a place in the plaza to sit and eat. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. Empanadas are warm and ready instantly and they have complementary sauces. The three flavors I ordered were incredible--chicken, malbec beef, and spinach. Jackfruit, Beef, and Ham & Cheese were my husband's picks. Three empanadas are the perfect amount for a meal. This place definitely makes the list of spots I'll visit frequently.

    Paraná Empanadas is one of the many vendors in Liberty Public Market and this food stand…read morespecializes in Argentinian empanadas. Currently they have a second location in Westfield UTC and plan to open a third location in Long Beach. [Parking]: Parking can be somewhat difficult during busy weekends, but there are designated parking lots throughout Liberty Station so it will require a bit of patience and driving around to find an available spot. [Menu]: Yelp's top recommended items include Chicken Chipotle Empanada (chipotle seasoned shredded chicken, cilantro, red bell pepper, sautéed onion), Malbec Beef Empanada (24-hour ground beef marinated in Argentinian wine, raisins, sautéed onion), and Beef Empanada (Traditionally seasoned ground beef, green olive, red bell pepper, sautéed onion). One empanada = $4 and three empanadas = $11.25. Each empanada comes with one complimentary sauce (chimichurri, chipotle chimichurri, or green olive). *** Chicken Chipotle, Malbec Beef and Beef (three for $11.25): Each empanada has a hot stamp so customers know which flavor is which. The Malbec beef was flavorful and was my favorite. Both Beef and Chicken Chipotle empanadas were alright. Personally I wasn't too crazy about any of the sauces I sampled. *** A decent spot for a quick bite, but this place is not something I would drive out of my way for.
