If you're on the fence to try this place, reserve now and go enjoy the night there Went on a Saturday evening. Had a dinner birthday reservation for 4. Got sat right away. Water was served right away. They Brought out the bread and tomatoes right away. Had some really good Argentinian red wine. They even let us do some wine tasting . Our daughter's food came out before ours ! Perfect! They fell in love with the Empanadas! As for my wife and I, we ordered Bife con Hueso. Words can't describe how delicious it was, with the chimi churi ! Cooked to perfection, with the right amount of flavor. Mad props to the chef. And presentation 10/10. The whole evening was just at peace. The food. The drinks. The service. The atmosphere. We'll be coming back again! Happy holidays

I was deceived by the positive reviews. To start the ice machine was broken, so our drinks were…read morewarm until ice was brought out which melted instantly. We chose to still give it a try. We all ordered meats which prices range between $30s to $60s (insane for no sides) and I gotta say I've had better steak at a food truck. We also ordered the Chorizo Argentino ( it was the sice of my finger). Let me not even mention the pound of salad constantly being shoved down your throat. We said no to the salad and it still came with it. Also $8 for a small dish of fries? And no sides come included with the meats?! You are forced to pay for sides if you don't want your $58 dollar steak alone. PS: dont tell them to cook the meats any different than your peers because they will cook them all the same. The server was nice at least and I felt bad for her being alone.

We decided to try a new place while we were in town - glad we did!…read more The place has a bit of an upscale vibe but folks were dressed from dressed up to somewhat casual. Our server was Sublany and she was awesome. Very personable and her recommendations were spot on. We decided to start with the Calamari with sun dried amogio. The calamari were large and prepared perfectly. The sun dried amogio was amazing - great flavor and some heat - the perfect pairing with the calamari. Great start! We tried the soup of the day which was something we'd never heard of much less eaten. It was a green bean soup - the beans were puréed with cream, some cheese and red pepper flakes. We weren't sure how it would taste by Sublany highly recommended it so we went for it. It was really good - the flavor was subtle but great; nice and creamy. We would definitely order it again. For our entrees my wife tried the salcicce which was pappardelle, fennel sausage, roasted red bell pepper, marinara, caprino and red pepper flakes. It was also very good - the pasta was prepared perfectly and the flavors all worked very well - another hit. I selected the lamb chops which were frenched lollipops, blue cheese cream and an arugula salad. The chops were perfectly prepared and the blue cheese cream on top was amazing - made very good chops excellent. The arugula salad also had a great flavor. I would also order this again. For dessert we decided to share a Hand Pie which was an apple pie with caramel drizzle and ice cream. The texture of the dough was great and the apples had a great cinnamon flavor which worked well with the caramel drizzle and the vanilla ice cream. This place was great! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a bit more upscale than the run of the mill restaurants!

The staff have been extremely welcoming and are always eager to share any info or answer any questions I might have.

Every visit reminds my how truly fortunate we are to have a gem like this in McAllen.

There was plenty of seafood inside and the rice was well seasoned. My friend who has visited Spain said this was very authentic. We also ordered a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday and they came out to us singing in celebration. It was a sweet gesture and made our night! Of course, the cake was decadent as well :) I will definitely have to come back.

GREAT LITTLE PLACE! Overall first impressions....it was a…read morelittle hard to find the front door. We parked in the back and walked through the back patio and were escorted by a very friendly server who knew the history of the building (impressed). She led us to the front door. Then we had to climb some very steep stairs. For the average individual it wasn't bad. But we had two seniors with us that found the steps challenging. Once inside we were greeted by the hostess and a very not so good odor (we almost walked out, it smelled musty and very old, our thoughts were the bathrooms. These need to be renovated badly). But once you get into the dining room there was no more smell. Tino was our server for the evening he did an amazing job. We ordered classic pasta (honestly it had good flavor but the sauce was very watery), the Duck (that was very good), and the Prime Rib (that was huge, that would be perfect for two people). We finished dinner and proceeded to go outside to the patio (mind you this is in January, when the weather is perfect for sitting el fresco) and had dessert. We ordered the Banana's Foster (Santana did an excellent performance, best part of the dessert) or Platanos Cajeta (huge difference) and the Flan. They were both good. This was a Saturday night and they had a duet playing acoustic guitar music (this helped top off the evening). We ended up spending a good amount of time here and enjoyed each other's company in a very nice atmosphere. Will definitely be revisiting.

4/5 overall - great cocktail lounge!…read more Parking - adequate Atmosphere- modern, comfortable, upscale interior design/curated and well styled Happy Hour - menu is small but adequate. I'd rather them offer a limited selection of specials that are all tasty and well crafted than a huge special menu but everything tastes bland or is not fresh. All HH items are $10 or less. As far as the happy hour window, pretty disappointed. They open at 6p which is late for most professionals. We arrived at 6p and the door was locked. If you want to unwind after work, you'll have to stop somewhere else first or just go straight home because if you start happy hour at 6p, you won't be leaving til 8:30p. Cocktails- I had the Paloma and the Dracula which were both great but the Dracula was absolutely gorgeous and flavorful! I will definitely come back to try more cocktails. Bites - The empanadas are perfect. Good fundamental taste, not too crispy or too spicy, allows the dipping sauces to complement them instead of overpowering. I also tasted a bit of the fries. I thought they were great. The waitress was very friendly and attentive.

We made reservations and received a call for confirmation. As we sat at the bar, we were served by the bartender, Diamond who was helpful, attentive and willing to answer questions.

The Bond fries we recommend, fries topped with caramelized onions, animal dressing and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. The spiced mixed nuts, were okay. The charcuterie board was filled with 4 different meats, 4 different cheeses, olives, tomatoes and toast. If any constructive criticism, I would put a few crackers on the board, however it was a great treat! We will be back. Things to be aware, you need a reservation and there is a dress code.
