    So we've been to Buenos Aires multiple times and this was our first wine tasting experience, booked…read morethrough Viator with 3 wines and apps, it did not disappoint. We were directed to our table for the wine tasting by friendly staff, it was nice because it was just my husband and I. Our sommelier Javier was answered all our questions about Argentinian wines, and patient since both my husband and I were semi new to wines, also it didn't help that my husband was a bit tipsy from being at a brewery before we went for the tasting. The pours for the tasting was more than expected and not sure if it's because it was only two of us but we got a second pour for each type of wine. I ended up tipsy since my husband didn't drink the second pour. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and we bought a bottle recommended by Javier, that we will open for a special occasion soon. Will definitely come back for a romantic dinner next time we're in town, because this restaurant would be a perfect place to have a date, loved the setting, and the numerous types of wines.

    Ahhhhhh! A dinner in BA without florescent lighting! This place is lovely. A perfect choice for a…read moreromantic night with your honey! If you're wanting the traditional 'parrilla' experience, keep looking. I loved it though! The service is fantastic. It seemed we had our very own person who looked after us. We started with a foie gras that was out off this world! I couldn't put my finger on a certain taste, until I tried a little dab of the sprinklings on the top. I thought it was shaved truffles, but it was actually a bittersweet chocolate! Never had that combination before, but it totally worked!! The salad was a little random for a Cesar, but we were fairly warned. The steak ( only one on the menu I believe) was outstanding! Evidently, you don't need to dine at a noisy brightly lit parrilla to get a good steak! Ask to see their wine "cellar"! We enjoyed every minute and every bite!

    The food and service were wonderful. We liked that they were open earlier for our eating at 7 was…read morenot good for us. They were so accommodating and let us take our time ordering and eating. The Rib Eye Steaks, salad and Providential French Fries were delicious. Cooked exactly as ordered. Know how to order is Spanish how well you want your steak so no mistakes are made. Write down a cheat sheet for the correct word or put it in your phone. Very clean and easy to get a Uber when done. Drinks before dinner were well done and they gave us at n/c an limoncello! Very nice jester.

    The asado flavor was delicious and smoky. This was my first time trying it in the Argentina and…read moreit's tasty! I saw reviews online that the portions were large so I asked for a smaller plate but perhaps it was too little. However, with the spinach on the side and bread starter I was pretty full. The spinach was shockingly really good, it also had a slight Smokey flavor that I can't quite place. There were a lot of tourists here, I heard a lot of English speaking guests which was nice thought because the staff here spoke English very well. The service was very good and quick. There are outlets all to charge your devices. Bonus! The staff was very kind in helping me figure out how to exchange USD to Argentinian pesos. I used this cash to get a SUBE card a few blocks down at the lottery store.
