Two nice bottles of wine and the bill was still really reasonable. Service was outstanding. I can't wait to return, and next time, I'll know how to find it lol

A distinguished and very fine seafood restaurant in Palermo Hollywood…read more Expensive. That is your problem. Not theirs. Reservations only. Don't count on talking your way in at the door. This is true even if the restaurant will be 2/3 empty all night. This is because, more than any other restaurant I have encountered ... The house is absolutely positively averse to food waste. They want to know EXACTLY how many people are coming every night. They buy just enough food To serve exactly X dishes to customers - a number known in advance, And throw away exactly Y dishes - the dishes that customers did not order. They know exactly what X and Y will be every night. When my wife and I were the first people in the restaurant, And we both ordered Salmon with Miso - we found there was just one copy of that dish that would be served that night. My wife got the one copy. From both a business standpoint and the point of view of managing quality in the kitchen, this policy makes total sense. Other restaurants don't do this or don't have to do it ... But I see what Chipper is trying to accomplish. * * * Everything we had at Chipper was utterly superlative. My wife's one dish of Salmon with Miso was dramatically good. However, I got a house staple ... The pasta with seafood sauce. This is a dish for which they are known, So they make a lot of this one. The seafood pasta would easily justify the reputation of the establishment. It is an utterly satisfying wonderful dish. The only other place I have had seafood pasta this good Was in an Argentine diaspora restaurant in Leme in Rio de Janeiro. I have thought about that dish for years. Chipper's stands in fine company with that legendary Rio de Janeiro bowl of pasta. * * * Desserts may be wonderful at Chipper. But keep in mind, Chipper is a few doors away from Alchemy. Alchemy is one of the finest if not the finest ice cream shops in Buenos Aires. Never never never never never never turn down a chance to get ice cream at Alchemy. So we did the morally right thing. But for appetizers and main courses, You are not going to beat Chipper if you like fish. Yeah, you have to make administrative arrangements to get into the place. But you have to make administrative arrangements to fly to Buenos Aires in the first place. * * * Both sets of complex administrative arrangements are worth it.

They have a particularly nice clam chowder, very easy to recommend. In fact, i recommend it. Try sitting on the patio in winter with a bowl of their soup. So worth it. Only real downside i can see is the price; it's not a cheap place to eat. I think it's worth the price, but i'm accustomed to paying San Francisco prices.

The…read morestaff was super accommodating and helpful (we were tourists with a sub-par understanding of Spanish ) and they helped us navigate the menu and actually took the time to explain what things were that we were unfamiliar with. The seafood wontons were delicious, and my husband had the catch of the day with tacu tacu (a Peruvian dish that is rice, beans and spices) that was fantastic! I had the seafood spaghetti and it was delicious with a silky sauce that coated the noodles perfectly . The ceviche (Asian style) was the standout of the meal though-made with the catch of the day- it had sesame oil, chilis, and crushed peanuts on it , in a fresh citrus dressing. We loved our meal here! The piece sours are good too! Reservations are a must!

Everything else I eat was very disappointing. The causa.... Why call it a causa.... A causa it is not... And flavor wise was very lacking... Moving on to the pasta and breaded fish . The pasta was horrible. It was the first time in my life I couldn't finish pasta. On my book (as an Italian) it is sacrilegious to throw it away but that's what Happen and the fish was very bland and didn't tasted fresh at all. A shame I won't be coming back.

About a 20 min Uber ride from our Airbnb apartment, it also allowed us a glimpse into Palmero. We made online reservations through their WhatsApp number. Quickly seated around 7.30pm before the crowd started to arrive. Fortunately, our server spoke English too. The fried seafood appetizer was a large tasty portion of shrimp and calamari. The server provided additional red sauce when requested. My pisco sour was very good although a bit too much whipped whites on the top. Recommend to request on the rocks next time. The table next to us, ordered a salad which was very large, probably an appetizer for 4! Service was very polite and not too slow. I enjoyed the fresh river fish for my entree. We skipped dessert as we had been eating at too many bakeries every morning for breakfast! Palermo in that area around 9pm or so was not very exciting. Other restaurants and lots of food delivery bicycle riders hanging about.... It would be nice to return with more of a plan to explore the area. Easy to request a ride back to Recoleta and catch some sights along the way!

The sauces let down the homemade pasta we ordered which is why i'm giving a lower score. The pastas themselves were great (ñoquis and sorrentinos) but the mushroom sauce was pretty much cream with a few dried mushrooms thrown in at the end, zero taste. The bolagnesa sauce was a little better but lacked seasoning. Food is served sloppily table side. I'd give this place another shot but would definitely order something else.
