Nice buttery, flaky crust and succulent meat. Well seasoned. We didn't decided to try some of the Argentinian chorizo that came with a simple salad of lettuce and tomato dressed with some olive oil. The sausage was probably the worst part of the meal, but that's like saying a Mercedes is the worst car among a bunch of Ferrari and Lamborghinis lol. The star of the night was the prime ribeye, that came the table with Serrano peppers and grilled onions. Beautiful great flavor, high-quality beef! We also decided on a side of soufflé potatoes. Now this isn't like a soufflé as much as it was like french fries that were puffy and like little pillows. They were good if not, perhaps a bit under seasoned. They tasted much better when I spooned a little the Housemade chimichurri sauce over the top. End of the night with a dessert of tableside flambé Crepe Suzette! Very delicious very traditional with the Grand Marnier and the Brandy served with some really good vanilla ice cream. Wash it all down with a bottle of 2021 Primeras Viñas Cabernet Sauvignon from Bodega Lagarde. The meal from start to end was wonderful and delicious. Service was impeccable everyone very friendly and attentive. If I'm ever back in Mexico City, which I will be because of Business, I will certainly stop by once again!

The braised octopus was tender, grilled shrimp were fresh and the boneless ribeye also very tender, juicy and grilled to medium rare perfection. Service was impeccable, doting, and a textbook lesson to almost every other restaurant extant (especially Per Se Time Warner Center). The servers were invisible, but miraculously appeared when you needed something. They even changed out the cooling cast iron plate with a hot replacement. Atmosphere was quiet, with a tropical forest terrace and smoking section. Very refined and elegant. We enjoyed 4 hours here eating and chatting. The room was not full, and no one rushed us whatsoever, unbelievable. Totally spoiled now

I also agree with the last review, that it is a sister company with the restaurants next door, as the drink menus were identical. Sylvestre is beautifully set up decor wise and the service is wonderful. Unfortunately, the food is not on par. The tacos were bathed in a puddle of grease. The shrimp was cold and wasn't as fresh as the other food we had in Mexico City. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were cooked in a stick of butter. I wish the quality of the food matched such a beautiful environment.

Being shut down in Mexico can have a plethora of reasons that aren't actually associated with food quality or cleanliness. So when it does open again, please visit it! Because I sincerely doubt hygiene had anything to do with it's current legal situation. :. This place is a lovely Argentinian restaurant that specializes in great steak! If you can, I think sitting near the window is the best place to be, as it's usually quieter and a bit more romantic (ie. candles, softly whispering couples). They have both English and Spanish menus which are usually written on large boards that they bring to your table. This place is certainly a bit more creative and fun in their presentation of food and set up. All meals come with in-house baked bread with rosemary and a couple of oils to dip in. As you would expect for the Polanco, the quality of the food and selection of wines/tequilas are good, and the service is generally pretty decent. I would definitely recommend keeping to the steaks and salads at this place. I found that most of the pastas are fairly good quality but sometimes can land on a bit on the dull side of things. That being said, the desserts are superb and I really enjoyed going to this place. [ TIP: However you normally like your steak, in Mexico ask for it to be cooked one level more e.g. if you like 'rare', ask for 'medium rare', or even 'medium' if they don't know what 'medium rare' is, as 'rare' will come 'blue'. This only applies in Mexico City. In the cities/locations where a lot of American and Canadian tourists can be found, then you order as you would in Canada/America.]

Wanting to explore new places, I decided to walk to La Vid Argentina, which sat two blocks from our hotel. I walked in, and was able to find a table despite it being pretty busy. I sat down, and the waiter brought me mineral water and a cafe americano. After getting some recommendations, I went with cheese on a grill for appetizer. The cheese was tarty, and it came with a big slice of tomato on top. For the main course, I had a medium steak, with a side of mashed potatoes and broccoli. The steak was juicy, well seasoned, and delicious. The mashed potatoes were tasty, and the broccoli was a perfect complement to the meal. I did have room for dessert, for which I ordered a flan. The flan was tasty, not too sweet, and made with much love. The ambience is upscale and trendy. The place is clean, nicely decorated, and run efficiently by a friendly and professional staff. I recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess and shown to our table. They have minimal English-speaking staff, but we didn't have any issues communicating. There is also patio seating as well.   Menu was split into different categories from appetizers, salads, steaks, pizza, pasta, and seafood. We were surprised at how big the portion was, plenty to share. We ordered a few items:   - NY dry aged carpaccio: This was a massive portion. Cut perfectly into thin slices. A great choice for an appetizer. - Brisket tacos (3): Comes with 3 medium size tacos. Meat was tendered. Two different sauces and with your usual toppings. - Ribeye tacos (3): Same with this, comes with 3 tacos. My favorite out of the two tacos. - Octopus on the grill: My favorite out of everything we tried. I love getting octopus when in Mexico. It was fresh and grilled perfectly. It also came with fried potatoes which we all love. - Peasant salad: A good balance to the rest of the meal. A refreshing salad with sweet tomatoes. - Grilled cod fillet: The cod fillet was just the right texture. The sweet potatoes puree gave it a nice balance.   The service was amazing. The staff helped pour our water and helped with plating our food. I really appreciate their attentiveness. Overall, this was a great experience and would highly recommend anyone to stop by for lunch/dinner if they're in the Roma Norte area.

I conducted my search, finding a few places online trying to locate a good spot in a city I've never visited. Gardela stood out immediately because of their communication, kindness, and dedication to making this event extra special for him and his friends. They truly created and planned the perfect event for the group and I truly could not be more grateful. Onto the food (their honest reviews)! They said it was a 11/10 dining experience overall. The food was incredible and amazing and these are some food critics traveling from major foodie cities. They planned a beautiful menu with Chicken Tortilla Soup, a variety of Empanadas, Picaña Steak and Skirt Steak, and Peasant Salad and Fries as sides. They said the soup was super delicious and flavorful. They said the steak was absolutely phenomenal and tender, it was very high quality meat. Also the salad really stood out as it was super fresh and crisp. Then they plated a beautiful dessert assortment as well as well as special happy birthday and bachelor messages to make the celebration extra special. The cocktails were also super delicious as well. They left the meal with their hearts and bellies very full. From everything, from the planning, to the the presentation of food, the service, and food quality, the team at Gardela went above and beyond. I really could not have picked a better place and now I am jealous because I need to go try some of the steaks because they had my mouth watering! Overall, I would highly recommend going to this restaurant. They said they were seated in a private room too so it made the experience even more special. My sincerest thank you to the entire team at Gardela for making this event unforgettable!
