What an excellent culinary experience! The service was superb. Though we didn't have reservations (recommended) the manager seated us after a moderate wait. Though busy the food did not take long to arrive after we placed our orders. The entrañas steak was delicious and the chicken was too! These enters were prefaced by meat empanadas that were amazing! Oven baked and then a quick in a deep fryer. The desserts were out of this world. Will definitely repeat!
The food here is really phenomenal. The grilled skirt steak in Malbec sauce was cooked medium-rare as requested to perfection, but beyond that the mushrooms and roasted root vegetables had a wonderful texture and were very flavorful. I would have been happy with just a plate of the yucca. The duck confit ravioli was also great (a bit light on duck, but great flavor combinations) and the fried seafood appetizer (calamari, shrimp, etc.) came with a great roasted red pepper sauce. The food isn't cheap, but the portion sizes are great and you'll get your money's worth. To top it off, the staff are really great and the interior is very nice, if a bit noisy. I highly recommend it!
I like the food. Unbelievably good meat sauce comes with a variety of pasta dishes. They're all just under $20, and you get a lot. The skirt steak was pretty good. Decent value. Better than average and slightly more expensive than average. Service uneven. Very southern California in that way.
The food wasn't something one can quantify. It was like tasting a story; one with rich history and emotions. The people who make the art in the kitchen are proud masters of thier craft. Eat here. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, wine selection great and desert to die for. Don't take my word for it, experience it for yourself.
I have a broken ankle and walked in on crutches. everyone went out of their way to accommodate me. we had the rack of lamb (swapped polenta for mashed potatoes) and the seafood paella, both very good. the bread pudding was cold which was a bit of a surprise. very enjoyable.
