Food  8      Ambience  10      Service  7      Value  5     


My food was very good, although not without complaints. We ordered two empanadas, one meat and one vege. The vege one was by far much better more flavour and texture. Then we went for the 8 hour lamb and the steak. I am a huge fan of Argentinean food and culture being of similar decent myself. The lamb was so tender and wonderful worth the $44 (it is a big portion, too big for one, not big enough for two though).

I loved the brussel sprouts, however, I was so disappointed with the steak. It was only offered in medium rare, which is fine because thats how I eat my steaks, anyway, but it came out more rare than anything and my girlfriend couldn't eat it. It was also pre cut which I didn't like at all but I gathered things there were made to share and the seal on the steak made the outside a little bit tough.

I wouldn't recommend the steak, which is a shame as it is one of the things I love most about argentina. I would come back as over all my dining experience was positive.
