The Patagonia Grill & Cafe is a favorite local restaurant! The restaurant staff is fantastic, they treat all like family. My husband and I frequent often for lunch and dinner. We enjoy the booths, bar and private room. The Argentinian menu is wonderful and portions are generous. (Dishes are made fresh, and the chef has prepared meals accommodating food allergies) The house salad, Chimichurri sauce, asparagus soup and skirt steak are highly recommended. read more

Ok.... A bit pricey... but EXCELLENT! Came here in. Whim... Beautiful restaurant with wine as far as the eye can see!

Wonderful date night! When my date and I arrived, we were greeted right away and the service was wonderful throughout the evening. We opted for the 4 course meal ($68 per person) and a glass of malbec. I ordered the ceviche, lentil soup, ribeye, and Tres leches. All was delicious, but that ribeye though - amazing! Thank you, Patagonia for a great date night! read more

My wife and I stopped in for some steak, and it was amazing! We also had a couple of Martinis, which were some of the best I've had from a restaurant or bar. I have the venison chops - which I would definitely order again - and my wife ordered a ribeye, which was also delicious. The waiter gave great recommendations and the service was quick! We came in before the dinner crowd, so it was relatively quiet and mostly empty. We didn't need a reservation at that time, but if you're planning a visit during normal dinner hours, it's not a bad idea to have one. read more

If you are looking to host a large party and craving Argentinian food, Patagonia is the perfect place! We reserved a table for 15 friends to celebrate a special birthday on a Friday evening and it felt very spacious. There is a grand piano at the entrance (I really wished there was a pianist that evening), a TV at the full bar area, and clean restrooms. And my favorite look of the restaurant were the beautiful floating light bulbs. It totally set the vibes for a wonderful evening. For food, we decided to order Fried Calamari with Pink Sauce as an appetizer and though tasty, it was a rather smaller portion. For the entree, we ordered the Argentinian Mixed Grilled Meat Platter and there were two platter options: 2 people or 4 people. The 4-person platter was plentiful! It included a grilled combination of entraña, short ribs, chorizos, morcillas, salchicha parrillera, molleja, and chicken. There was so much variety and so much flavor. Would definitely order it again! My only feedback to improve on would be service. I believe all of our friends' orders came out correctly, however it was very slow. There were several times when we had to follow up on our drink or food orders. Besides that, I also have to say every server was very respectful and nice to me and our friends, so I really appreciated that! Can't wait to return and hopefully there will be live music! read more

I recently visited here for the first time with a couple of friends to celebrate Houston Restaurant Weeks at lunchtime. Patagonia is located in an upscale strip center along the Katy Fwy. frontage road with plenty of parking available in front. Inside, it's a very nice restaurant with a bar and main dining room that has alcoves for small groups to dine with some privacy. We were seated at a booth and presented both their regular lunch menu along with the HRW menu which we ordered from. For my first course I chose the mango ceviche followed by the beef tips for the second course with the churros to finish for dessert. While waiting on the food I remarked how attractive the interior decor was and noticed that each table had its own bottle of hand sanitizer. I also observed the regular lunch menu and saw that it was quite extensive with many South American specialities along with the traditional Argentinian steak options. The ceviche arrived soon after ordering and was cold in temp along with some plantains on the side. This appetizer was slightly tart, fresh and delicious. It contained Chilean tilapia on top of red onions and mango with citrus lime juice sprinkled on all of it. I like good ceviche and this met my expectations. Later the entree appeared with two large beef medallions (8 oz. total) wrapped in bacon and covered with a bourbon cream sauce. That sauce was awesome and I loved it! The tenderloin pieces were tender and flavorful. The meat was accompanied by two mounds of whipped potatoes and grilled veggies. All of it was very good. Finally my churros with Dulce de Leche & Chocolate with a cherry to boot arrived. Both churros with that chocolate were rich and sweet in taste and made an excellent finish. This was a meal that I would be happy to order again. The table service here was prompt and professional and I want to return to Patagonia again and soon. Hopefully for dinner. read more

Didn't expect much when we pulled up to this strip mall with very little cars present. It's beautiful inside and the bartender was welcoming as soon as we walked in. We tried the blood sausage, which is delicious, and the Argentinian short rib, which was a little chewy but the flavor was fantastic. I had a great Malbec from Argentina. Plenty of seating and parking. read more

Neighborhood Grill and Cafe puts out tasty food and friendly service. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in Server was very friendly and gave us time to make selections. They brought water, bread and Chimichurri sauces to the table... delicious. Ordered from the HRW Menu, First Course - MANGO CEVICHE - the dish was flavorful but the plantain chips were soft. Second Course - 12 oz New York steak served with Rosemary roasted potatoes - I asked for medium rare, the steak was very tasty, the potatoes were crispy but I couldn't taste the rosemary. Third Course - CHURROS - crispy and yummy wish they gave basket of them. Overall, it was a nice meal. read more

The food and staff and ambiance. are spectacular! It's a little hidden in the shopping center but what a fantastic find!

First of all went for Restaurant Month lunch. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere is cozy and the food...that was where it shone! I had the Lentil soup with sausage - the best I've tasted anywhere. For my entree- the prime beef tips with a lovely sauce with onions and mushrooms; accompanied by grilled squash and green beans al dente. On the plate were two sculpted mounds of mashed potatoes. All were perfectly done, totally sufficient without being too much. Lastly was a light and fluffy Tres Leches. Will be coming back most definitely! Our waiter told us that the last Thursday evening of every month there is entertainment. Sounds delightful! read more

This place is a gem! We were looking for a good place have early dinner and this popped up. We walked in right when they opened for dinner, hence the place was still pretty empty but it was packed by the time we finished. Our waiter was helped picked their most popular empanadas. We had spinach, beef, roquefort cheese, and chicken which were all delicious! They were very crisp on the outside, not too flaky and each fillings were tasty. Their Mandarin Almond Salad was also pretty good. The mixture of its citrus and sweetness with crunchiness of the nuts was perfect on every bite. And, of course, we had to try their Prime Mixed Parrilladas, all the meat were tender and cooked to our liking! lol read more

Very enjoyable. We ate early and the restaurant started to fill as we were leaving. Live music - just for us Interesting menu, excellent meat (we had 4 different cuts in our group and everyone enjoyed them). Service was good and friendly. The wine list was confusing as the Malbecs on offer were not on the list. Overall excellent and we will return read more

So good. Service was great tonight with Santiago as our server. Dinner was delicious. Husband and I split the mixed grill platter for one but neither of us eat a lot so we were able to split. Also the Rosemary potatoes. Order them. They are delicious. The meats were perfectly prepared. We also enjoyed some of the empanadas. They are so good. It was not crowded. Y'all go so we don't another good restaurant. We normally get desserts and they are delicious. Full bar and good wine list focused on Argentina. Sorry, failed to get photos. read more

I tried to make a reservation, but the two numbers on the website aren't for the restaurant, and you can't make a reservation online either. Terrible service in that regard. read more

Yeah don't go here. We went here for Mother's Day... it took forever for the food to come out, we waited over 45 minutes to get seated (despite making a reservation), and they were out of half the items on their menu... of course on Mothers Day places get crowded and fall behind. That's totally understandable. But the staff at this place could have been a lot nicer about it. They tried to seat my 11 year old sister at the bar and told my grandma to 'be careful with the piano.' My grandma had no where to stand and wasn't even touching the piano. The hostess was stuck up and rude and our server was honestly just annoying. Would not come to this place again, Mother's Day or not. Now for the food... VERY MEDIOCRE FOR $$$ I split the salmon with my boyfriend (about 40$) and the sweet potatoes (12$) I will attach pictures of both - my half salmon portion (I ordered well done but wasn't cooked thoroughly) and the sweet potatoes untouched (which had a hair in them) oh and last but not least the place smelled AWFUL read more

We came here for a work lunch/celebration in their private room and absolutely enjoyed the meal, attentive service, and quality. We were here on a weekday and were the only ones in the place - surprising as they have a large menu, lots of parking, friendly staff...but, selfishly better for us! As we were a large part of 10ish, we ordered a sampling of shareable empanadas, the melted cheese dip, the grilled meat parrillada, and a variety of desserts/coffees to finish. Boy, were we stuffed! Everything was prepared very nicely, our glasses were never empty, and everyone was able to enjoy the spread. Given that this was a work event I cannot comment on the value, but I do think the menu is a bit on the higher-priced end of things, but so is the restaurant itself inside. Décor is quite nice and the service is up to par to match. read more

Hadn't been here in years - so glad I stopped by for lunch. While I was waiting for my order I asked waiter about Argentinan wines he had. He walked me thru three different displays around the bar and restaurant and explained background and which ones he liked. Too bad it was weekday lunch so I couldn't have any ... but I will be back. read more

We live in SSV and had noticed Patagonia in the generic strip center in front of Home Depot when they opened a few years back, but never thought too much about it based on the location. We finally decided to visit Patagonia a few weeks back, so my review is a bit tardy. We arrived on a Friday night for a 7:00 PM reservation and was pleasantly surprised as we walked in an found an upscale environment for such an obscure building. There were about 4 other tables taken, while most of the dining room was vacant as well as the bar. We were greeted by our serve who seemed somewhat preoccupied, not sure why as it appeared he was only serving one other table. Having spent a couple of weeks in Argentina less than two years ago visiting wineries and vineyards we were excited order a bottle of Salentein Malbec ($62), as we had spent 4 nights on their vineyard properties during our stay in the Uco Valley. As a starter we order a trio of empanadas, one each of Spinach, mushrooms, red peppers & onions, Ham & cheese, and Roquefort cheese, onions & mozzarella ($3.50/$4.00). All were quite good with our malbec and great start to dinner. I was hoping for Argentinian Mixed Grill Meat Platter, but my wife didn't care for half of the items on the platter we decided against it. For our main courses, our server suggested the Entraña ($45), so my wife selected the 10 oz. portion medium rare, which came with a House Salad, but added the Potatoes Au-Gratin as a side. After cutting into the Entraña it was definitely over cooked, more on the well to medium well side; but she didn't want to make a scene and send it back after the server had been so nice and accommodating. The Potatoes Au-Gratin ($16) were more like a bowl of cheese with a few slices of potato swimming around, which many would have loved with so much cheese, but the lack of potato made the dish unwelcoming . Since she ordered the beef, I decided to order something different, and he suggested the Two Bone Pork Chop ($35). My Two Bone Pork Chop was cooked properly and tasted "good" but didn't come close to Perry's Famous Pork Chop, in flavor or size. I've learned any Pork Chop that isn't from Perry's will certainly disappoint. It was served with oven roasted potatoes that appeared to be reheat potatoes from the day before, dried out and hard crusted, not appetizing and certainly not tasty. In addition, the chop was served with a couple of slices of squash, a couple of carrot slices and some green beans; the veggies seemed to be fresh, so I ate them and left the potatoes. We both felt the pork chop was the better of the two entre The staff was very accommodating and service was on par. We were talking with some one who was either the chef or owner about this being our first and the Argentinian wines on the list and he was really friendly and acknowledgeable. He also sent out a couple of complimentary deserts, which was very kind and greatly appreciated. I felt the misses on the food was probably due to the COVID situation and not the norm, so we'll be visiting again once things get back to "normal", and expect things will meet expectations based on other Yelp reviews. read more

This place is fantastic. I was in Houston for business and came across Patagonia in Yelp. Alex the bartender made a fantastic martini and provided great recommendations for dinner. I ended up ordering a few appetizers to test the fare. I was amazed. The food was as great as the Martini. After enjoying a great meal, I asked Alex if a manager was available. He sent Sebastian, the Chef and Owner. Cheers Sebastian, you have a great restaurant. Thank you!! read more

We were excited to go here but very disappointed. The atmosphere was great however the food and service was extremely disappointing. First for what we paid the food was extremely subpar. The steaks where very thin and they just threw an excessive amount of salt on them.... Barely eatable. Then their sides have no salt(guess it balances) and next to no seasoning. We liked the chimichurri, that was tasty. There desserts where terrible, don't bother with them you will be disappointed. Also they burnt the steak for my wife and potatoes (they did remake it). The rosemary potatoes were just disgusting, not sure how they made them taste so bad, my wife who is picky didn't like them, so I tried them and had to spit them out. Next the service was just bad, we had to ask 3 times to get anything.... The restaurant was not that busy when we were in just the server kept forgetting to bring us everything! The one redeemable quality and the one reason why they didn't give 1 star is the atmosphere, they had a piano player and it seemed upscale. Overall we will never return here and would like to recommend avoiding this place(if you have a 1/4 inch steak and can't even cook that I may as well go to Chilis for 1/4 of the price, not that I would ever get a steak there.) it is expensive and very low quality food and service. read more

No wonder the restaurant was nearly empty when we went there on a weekend evening. The price tag is 120 dollars per person without tips . A couple of people in the group got upset stomach, one ended up with hugging the toilet for a day . I am not going back read more

Patagonia Grill and Cafe is a really excellent place to eat. The atmosphere is perfect for a good dinner with your loved one or with a group. The dining room os perfectly lit and os neither too loud nor too quiet. The decor is lovely. Most importantly the food is delicious.

The food was fantastic. We started with the Grilled Provoleta, which is a delicious melted cheese concoction served with bread. Our entrees were the stuffed chicken breast and the filet mignon which were excellent. The asparagus au gratin was amazing! The chocolate cake was one of the best I've had in a long time. The service was impeccable and the interior ambience was very warm and inviting. Highly recommended this restaurant! read more

I'll start with the wait staff. They were efficient and effective at meeting the needs of every single patron in the restaurant. The head chef and owner was only outshined by the wonderful cooking staff that supported his menu for the event I attended at the restaurant. I highly recommend the restaurant and specifically suggest the tres leche (if you like Churrasco's you'll love this version) and the beef empanadas with chimichurri sauce. Sebastian, I will definitely visit again and hopefully you'll have a glass of Argentina Malbec with me. read more

Chillian Bass is always good, the steak was super tender and the mashed potatoes were GOOD. My only complaint is the chimichurri sauce wasn't as flavorful and the steak didn't come w/a side, it was extra. It's already very expensive, at least slap on some mashed potatoes or veggies on there. We didn't get to try the wine but the coffee was perfect. We made a reservation but there was no need too, there wasn't a lot of people. The staff were very friendly and considerate and attentive. read more

This place is terrible! From customer service to the food. The bartender was the hostess, server, and bartender. I stood at the door about 10 minutes before anyone greeted me....mind you the restaurant wasn't full. After ordering the food it took almost an hour and a half to get it. What's on my plate isn't worth 80 dollars. I get well done at most steakhouses that I've been to. This was beyond well done was beef jerky it was so tough. Definitely not worth 80 dollars. read more

I came by for lunch with co-workers so I have little to go off regarding dinner reviews. What I can say though is that lunch was lacking and very expensive for what we got out of it. There isn't a lunch menu so you're ordering off the higher priced dinner menu. My co-worker ordered a simple salad, asked to add some cheese to the salad and ended up getting a $31 bill for a lunch salad...I ordered a sausage sandwich. It was butterflied sausage on bread with lettuce and tomatoes for $25...Going around the table, everyone had similar simple foods for about double the price. The restaurant space is nestled in a strip center off I-10 with a very unassuming facade but the interior space was very warm quiet and romantic. Service was very attentive and on par with most white tablecloth meals. It would be a great evening out with your spouse or significant other for date night dinner and wine. The menu, although high price point, did look great for dinner portions of food. The restaurant is predominantly Argentinean heavy meat focused and offers a meat tasting dish of sorts that consists of various piles meats for nearly $100. I was told it could feed 4 easily, so if I ever find myself here again, I'm going that route. Long story short, it's a no for me regarding lunch but if you come with the right expectations, it may prove a wonderful evening out? I'll update if I make it over for dinner. read more

From the moment I walked in the door, they treated me as if I was family. Our waiter, Esteban, showed us to a table the minute we arrived for our reservation. The menu has some wonderfully tasty items on the menu so it was hard to choose. I ordered the Two Bone Pork Chops and they came with grilled vegetables, rosemary red potatoes and green beans. The pork chops were cooked to perfection and served with a apple mulbec sauce on the side. I also just had to try the Asparagus soup and it was amazing. To top off our dinner experience, the chef and owner (Sebastian) came to our table to see how our food was and introduce himself. This is my first time here and I will most definitely be back. read more

Our group of 6 had dinner here on 8/11/23. We were taking advantage of their Houston Restaurant Weeks menu. Inside, the restaurant is lovely. The service was great. For our appetizer, we had the calamari. This wasn't the usual calamari rings and tentacles. Basically, they were sticks of calamari. They were quite tasty though. They also brought bread with two chimichurri sauces on the side. They were both great, but I preferred the spicy sauce. For our first course, we had Argentinian Sausage w/Chimichurri Sauce, Creme of Asparagus soup, Lentil Soup, and the Mandarin Almond Salad. All were good, not great. The sausage was slightly tough, but the flavor was good. The sausage was basted in the chimichurri sauce. The Asparagus soup was slightly sweet. I prefer a savory soup. The lentil soup was ok. For our second course, we had the New York steak, Prime Pork tenderloin, and the Prime Tips Tenderloin wrapped in bacon. I had the Pork. The pork was weird. A few bites were tender, but mostly it was tough and dry. Also, the sauce on the tenderloin was sweet which I did not like. The two friends who had the New York steak were definitely disappointed. It was a very thin steak with some gristle. It was something I'd expect to see at Golden Corral. The friends who had the Prime Tips were very pleased with their choice. The meat was tender and quite flavorful. The roasted potatoes were dry, but the mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious. The green beans were plain. For our third course, we got the Tres Leches, Churros, and the Alfajores. While the flavor was good, the texture of the Tres Leches wasn't appealing at all. It made me think of a loofah. The Alfajores and Churros were good. One other thing, they have an extensive wine list. However, you only have a choice of 8 wines to get by the glass. Four of those are white wines and the other 4 a Malbecs. A couple of us like Pinot Noir, but unfortunately that wasn't an option by the glass. Overall, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. While I'm glad I gave them a try, I can't say that it would be on my list of restaurants to return to. read more

Where to begin. Had a reservation for 6:45, we got there 10 minutes late due to babysitter and don't get seated till 7:15. 20 minute wait when we were late, so that's fair I guess. Now for the fun part. Another 15 minutes or so go by until the waiter comes to take our order. I ask about the milanesa and the waiter awkwardly fumbles through his phone to show me a picture of a handwritten list (on the back of a receipt) of all of the things they're "out of." This caught me by surprise, as it was roughly 7 o clock on Valentine's Day. Who runs out of food at a normal dinner time during a holiday? But wait, there's more. The list has about 10 different food items/categories on it, including things like milanesa (chicken or beef), lobster, ravioli, fettuccini, and a bunch of other things. Who runs out of pasta noodles? Chicken breasts? Breading? This restaurant, apparently. So here I am, cross-referencing the "list" with the menu and trying to figure out what the hell I'm even allowed to order. My wife gives me a look like "I'm over it" and we decide to just leave instead. The place was packed so I assume the food is decent at least, unfortunately I wasn't able to order about half of the menu. Tl;dr: service is laughable, food may be good (tbd). read more

Great food and great staff too! I'll for sure recommend this restaurant. Try the meat platter!

Cynicism at its best. I attended a social hour hosted by an organization. I sat at the bar and had a Malbec. I had one or two sips left. This waiter named Alex took my wine glass. I called him out but he didn't hear me. I told another bartender what happened. Before I knew it, a new glass with only one sip of wine was brought to me. That is cynical and it's as if he were trying to mock me. The $7 salad served during happy hour was sample sized. Salad is cheap and being happy hour, they should have it for $5. read more
