  • "The waiter didn’t describe the food correctly and had an allergen in it."
  • "Sausage tasted like it was boiled, and didn’t have any of the qualities of an Argentine sausage."
  • "The empanadas were not traditional and the papas provinciales were truffle fries not even close."
  • "Skirt steak was chewy to the point it was almost inedible."
  • "for an Argentinian restaurant the chimichurri is scarce and the steak was dry/burnt and under salted."
  • "All the meat lacked salt."

Service

Cons:

  • "They made us wait 15 minutes outside in the cold and never reached back to us."
  • "Wish they had more non-alcoholic options; they made me a pineapple spritzer but it was bland."
  • "The service seem very confused: we had to ask for water to be refill everytime; didn't get the orders right and still charge us for thing we did not order."
  • "Our server was great but as he warned us, the bar was incredibly slow."
  • "Our drinks didn't arrive until halfway through our first course."
  • "It did take a while for our order(even drinks) to be taken."
  • "I did have an issue with the waitress. Maybe it was a bad day for her, but she was not very welcoming, and at times, seemed quite impatient or annoyed with us."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The overall atmosphere this place had while having dinner with a couple of friends was truly extraordinary!"
  • "Love the ambience."

  • "The place is beautiful."
  • "Classy interior and patio."
  • "Lovely space with good eats and delicious cocktails."
  • "The interior design and layout of the place is so industrial chic and well done."

Cons:

  • "The table was sticky when we sat down, there was no AC and in the peak of NY summer it gets a little hot in there."
  • "The outdoor area in the back was very hot with only one ceiling fan for the whole area."
  • "However, the restaurant is so loud that I couldn't talk to my partner, and the waiters couldn't hear us, so we all kept repeating ourselves like in a madhouse."
  • "So disappointed, we were seated right by the open kitchen.. it was hot as .. and you couldn't feel the AC."
  • "We went in with a reservation... The waitress looked at us, went past us, warmly greeted the two guests behind us and ushered them in before turning to us."
  • "They asked us to wait outside 36 degree weather."
  • "My advice, don’t go to a place that would make a 5yo child wait outside in 30 degree weather."
