The family decided to go to dinner together at Buenos Aires- the waiters were nice and friendly (Both spoke Spanish{one from Spain the other from Colombia}). There were seven of us in the party- we had reservations so our table was ready as we arrived.
After we were seated we were informed that all of the bottles of wine were half off (yay!). We placed our drink orders as well as orders for tapas (as starters)- empanadas, Olives, Patatas Bravas (I love Patatas Bravas- so I had to). I ordered the lychee margarita, my husband and mother in-law- the classic mojito, sister in-law- the Passion Fruit and Ginger Caipirinha, brother in-law- St Paul's `Green.
My lychee Margarita was good but slightly too sweet for my taste (it was also on the rocks which was not mentioned on the menu), I really enjoyed trying the Passion Fruit and Ginger Caipirinha (recommend!) it was not to sweet, perfectly tangy and refreshing (love), the Mojitos were fairly predictable in my opinion- decent but slightly too sweet (I'm not one for sugar- but my husband agreed). My brother-in-law's St Paul's Green was also extremely sweet in my opinion.
The patatas bravas was an over-all let-down, the portion size was small and the sauce left quite a bit to be desired. The olives were okay- pitted. The empanadas had a nice shell and the filling was good (recommend).
As a main I ordered the lamb chops with a side of green beans. The lamb was very good- cooked medium- I felt it could use a bit more flavor but the lamb was still enjoyable. The green beans were cooked well and not soggy (yum). My husband ordered the 260g 'Ancho' (Rib-Eye) Steak- I snuck a bite and it was very, Very, good. The chimichurri sauce that his steak came with was made with dried herbs and spices however it was very flavorful.
Overall the drinks were on the sweet side, service was a bit slow (Although I do understand we were a party of seven) and the food was decent. read more
