Main dishes Milanesa à la napolitana this was good, way too many onions but good comes with rice & beans. I had the Pechuga de pollo la provenzal, yumm this was delicious the sauce is so tasty, I got it w tostones great since dipping into the sauce. Next time, Ice tea & Sprite for drinks not bad, no apps since they start u off w that bread. I had the Meat special #4 , This comes with 2 pieces of steak & chorizo , got it w tostones the meat was very flavorful, cooked just right , comes w a chimichurri sauce so good. We also had the Pollo Provenzal again, man that sauce is amazing got it w fried yuca, it was very good. This place is a one stop shop, butcher style Meats for sale, some Argentinian desserts, candy & merchandise they seem to have a little bit of everything. Good size location, decent decor & service. Prices are seasonable since they do give u a good portion size. Good neighborhood spot, this place was a good find & chances are we will continue to visit from time to time.

After more than 25 years of being customers and spending hundreds of dollars per visit, we were…read moreessentially told we had stayed too long after finishing our meal. That was enough for us to decide we will not be returning. I have been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years. The food has generally been good, which is why my family continued returning and recommending it to others. Our history with the restaurant has not been without issues. Years ago, we stopped coming after a Mother's Day incident involving my grandmother. We had been seated in the upstairs dining room (when it was still open), only to later be told by the owner that we did not have a reservation and that we had to leave. After several years, we decided to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt and eventually started coming back again. Unfortunately, today confirmed that the earlier incident was not simply bad luck. I was dining with my parents. We ordered two steaks, two appetizers, three sides, a bottle of wine and later a second bottle (of which we only drank half), along with four after-dinner drinks, cappuccino, and dessert. It was clearly a very busy day, and service was slower than usual. Because of the restaurant's pace, our meal ended up lasting a little over three hours. We were patient the entire time and never complained. After we finished eating and were simply finishing our drinks, the owner, Marcelo, approached our table and remarked that we had been there for three hours and were now only drinking alcohol, indirectly suggesting that his establishment was not a bar but a place for dining. Considering that we had just spent several hundred dollars and have been customers for decades, the comment was unnecessary and unprofessional. We immediately asked for the check and left. For context, I am a physician and understand the pressures of demanding work environments. However, professionalism and respect toward customers should always come first. Over the years, my family has typically spent between $300 and $500 per visit here. Unfortunately, after this experience, this will be the last time we come. There are many excellent Argentinian and Uruguayan steakhouses where customers are treated with appreciation and respect, and that is where we will be going moving forward. Después de más de 25 años siendo clientes y gastando cientos de dólares por visita, básicamente nos dijeron que nos habíamos quedado demasiado tiempo después de terminar nuestra comida. Eso fue suficiente para decidir que no volveremos. He venido a este restaurante durante más de 25 años. La comida generalmente ha sido buena, lo cual es la razón por la que mi familia y yo seguimos regresando y recomendándolo a otras personas. Nuestra historia con el restaurante no ha estado exenta de problemas. Hace años dejamos de venir después de un incidente en el Día de las Madres que involucró a mi abuela. Ya nos habían sentado en el comedor del segundo piso (cuando todavía estaba abierto), cuando posteriormente el dueño nos informó que no teníamos una reservación y que teníamos que retirarnos. Después de varios años decidimos darle al restaurante el beneficio de la duda y eventualmente comenzamos a regresar nuevamente. Lamentablemente, lo ocurrido hoy confirmó que aquel incidente anterior no fue simplemente mala suerte. Estaba cenando con mis padres. Pedimos dos steaks, dos aperitivos, tres acompañamientos, una botella de vino y luego una segunda botella (de la cual solo bebimos la mitad), además de cuatro digestivos, cappuccino y postre. Claramente era un día muy ocupado en el restaurante y el servicio fue más lento de lo habitual. Debido al ritmo del servicio, nuestra comida terminó durando un poco más de tres horas. Fuimos pacientes todo el tiempo y nunca nos quejamos. Después de terminar de comer y mientras simplemente estábamos terminando nuestras bebidas, el dueño, Marcelo, se acercó a nuestra mesa y comentó que llevábamos allí tres horas y que en ese momento solo estábamos consumiendo alcohol, insinuando indirectamente que su establecimiento no era un bar sino un lugar para cenar. Considerando que acabábamos de gastar varios cientos de dólares y que hemos sido clientes durante décadas, el comentario fue innecesario y poco profesional. Inmediatamente pedimos la cuenta y nos retiramos. Para dar contexto, soy médico y entiendo muy bien las presiones de entornos de trabajo exigentes. Sin embargo, el profesionalismo y el respeto hacia los clientes siempre deben ser una prioridad. A lo largo de los años mi familia normalmente ha gastado entre $300 y $500 por visita en este restaurante. Lamentablemente, después de esta experiencia, esta será la última vez que vengamos. Hay muchos excelentes restaurantes argentinos y uruguayos donde los clientes son tratados con aprecio y respeto, y allí es donde llevaremos nuestro negocio en el futuro.

There is this incredible aisle of Peruvian goods in the Latin section, and I found dried purple corn (for making chicha morada), a bottle of chicha morada that my Peruvian friend said was authentic, huacatay paste, and aji amarillo paste.
