Arriving back from Iguaza Falls, we decided to risk a very late dinner here without reservations…read more The uber ride dropped us off and a pleasant employee guided us to the location as we were a bit bewildered as to where the flower shop storefront was located. We loved the florist- yes plenty of fresh flowers in the shop, They opened the walk in fridge door and we walked downstairs to the speakeasy amid the dj spinning records. We were seated at a table and a very pleasant server ( who spoke English) dropped of our menus and took our drink orders. My aperol spritz was refreshing and hubby enjoyed his cocktail too. Our preferences for seafood or veggies allowed our server to make recommendations that were amazing. The complimentary sourdough bread was devoured- it had been a long 24 hrs without much food - another story! The crab empanada was large enough to share and was AMAZINGLY yummy. No wonder it is one of the most ordered dishes. Hubby loved his anchovy crostini, the BBQ shrimp - delicious, and we shared the argula salad- also a winner. Not much wait for an Uber back to our Airbnb at 1am- time to prepare for tomorrow's departure. Hope to return in the future!

I particularly like how the two-tiered interior gives the appearance of a four level venue, with its open atrium view between the upper and lower sections. There's a full bar with a great selection of beers on tap, bottled beer, and all kinds of distilled spirits. There's also a wine cellar with a quite a large selection of wines in the back corner. The patrons and staff I encountered here were friendly and beautiful, while remaining unpretentious. A lovely bartender promptly took my drink order as I walked in and quickly placed a delicious libation in front of me :-)

If you don't see anyone, try ringing the doorbell to the right. We stopped by on a Friday night without a reservation and the place was fully booked, but the restaurant was able to rustle up a couple extra stools and seat us at the back bar. We were then invited to sit at the main bar when enough places opened up. The staff really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. When they noticed us puzzling over the Spanish menus, they quickly rounded up some English translations. The cocktail menu, though, is in Spanish only, and Google translate wasn't much help. Noticing our distress, the bartender, who spoke excellent English, explained that the menu titles were Argentine slang words and happily explained the sense of the groupings. He then helped us pick some great unique cocktails based on what we told him we liked. All of the food was great. My favorite was the roasted tomato side, which also included broccoli and some kind of crunch topping. I wish all veggies tasted this good! The lamb empanadas offered a gourmet twist on a classic Argentine staple. The melted Camembert with grapefruit and tomatoes, while not my favorite, was refreshingly different. A word of warning: the "platitos", meaning little plates, aren't like the little tapas back home. Be careful not to over-order. I'd start with one platito and one side and go from there. Sit at the bar if you want to meet some of the locals!

I had two drinks one with grape juice honey and vodka and another one a bloody Mary like with grilled tomatoes and beets. The bartenders and overall staff were amazing, caring and dropped their current task to serve beers and cocktails or food. That grabbed our attention. Patrons were utmost importance. Even hostess went out of her way from arrival to departure she was so nice. The place is not cheap but very well worth it. Good value for the night. If I get picky I think DJs could play songs w actual lyrics current or older popular bands not just elektronica. Restrooms clean as they can be. There is a semi open terrace 3rd floor that is nice too. But we spent the night on main bar second floor. Also great semi open kitchen to watch plates go out. I definitely would be back. Good value!

As for food options, the menu has a wide variety of choices, and all the dishes I've tried so far have been consistently good. Bárbaro isn't all that easy to find; it's tucked away in an alley right next to the hotel NH Florida. That said, take the trouble to find it - the inside décor is very cool, and the outdoor seating is perfect for those cool, clear, warm nights when you're with a special someone :-) While the staff IS very friendly and helpful, the ability to speak at least some Spanish will contribute greatly to your experience here.

We went for a round of shared appetizers while we considered our main courses. This is still a…read moreplace where, if you want to watch your spending, you need to pay attention to the righthand column on the menu, as appetizer prices range from a low of 20 pesos (a single medium sized grilled sardine), on up to 950 pesos, for a plate of jamón jabugo, the famous imported, acorn-fed cured ham from Jabugo, Spain. We stayed a bit more modest with a small plate of boquerones, cured small sardine fillets (105 pesos), their justifiably famed house specialty of calamaretes guernicas, fried baby squid in a cider and onion sauce (versus the version I tried on my first visit of just fried with wedges of lemon) (230 pesos), and a perfectly executed tortilla española (220 pesos). Although there are a couple of non-seafood dishes on the menu, the specialty really is fish and shellfish. And, the fish "most used" is the abadejo, or ling-cod (similar to pollack or haddock). A trio of preparations on a theme here, all with their "santurzana" sauce, a fondue of tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Then, varied with additions, first, and easily the runaway star, the abadejo a la bizkaina, with a touch of mildly spicy chili. The quite good abadejo a la americana, with a splash of cream and some prawns, also quite good. Less successful, the abadejo ajo arriero, with garlic and egg - the flavor was fine, we just didn't expect it to be a big bowl of mashed fish, especially given the plump, perfectly cooked fillets on the other two dishes. It felt more like something that ought to be spooned over rice. (390, 405, 380 pesos, respectively.) Again, a glance at the price column is in order, with tariffs running from a low of 340 to a high of 2400 pesos per plate (the latter being an octopus dish for two). There's also a short list of available fish off the grill, with a choice of house sauces, the above mentioned santurzana, a salsa verde, and the uniquely Argentine roquefort sauce (pretty much an abomination, created at some point in this country's past, no doubt to mask the off flavors of fish that was a touch past its prime). A plate of grilled swordfish with salsa verde was as delicious as the version I'd tried so many years ago, though I still find their interpretation of "green sauce" to be not so green. A more Argentine specialty, and probably the least successful on the table, a rather bland and somewhat overcooked fillet of chernia, (stone bass, wreckfish), buried under a heap of undressed arugula leaves, some shavings of parmesan, and a mound of capers. (370 and 340 pesos.) One of the things that can make Iñaki a bit more expensive, other than the 50 peso/person cubierto charge, is that virtually none of the main courses come with any accompaniment. An order of papas al natural, two overcooked potatoes, broken up and drenched with paprika and olive oil (tasty, if too soft), runs 60 pesos, and is really more geared to 1-2 people than 6, and likewise the espinacas a la crema, creamed spinach, a small ramekin for 120 pesos. But, we ate well - pretty much all the food was delicious (I'd skip that chernia and arugula dish, unless you're on a diet or something), service was excellent, and we certainly weren't hungry for more. We passed on desserts, had a round of coffees, and then our waiter "invited" us to a round of limoncello. A common enough offering in more Italian restaurants, an odd choice for a Basque restaurant. Then again, patxaran, which would be a more classic of the region (or hard-cider), is a bit too expensive here in Argentina to be used as a giveaway. We also added to the tab with a large pitcher of sangria for half the table and a bottle of wine for the other half. All told, with tip, we spent a few over 5000 pesos, basically 850 apiece, or just over US$34, which really isn't bad for the level of quality. Stays on my top 5 list for Spanish and Basque restaurants in town.
