The food is soooo good, especially the steak. The waiters are also very helpful. The place itself is rather small, and the people around seem to have a great time. Depending on your mood, you might not be a fan b/c it does get somewhat noisy, but it didn't bother me! Pros: The food is amazing! Cons: A little noisy, but still is a great place!

I have been going to eat at Buenos Aires since they opened up about 3 years ago. I was familiar with there staff and always attended too in the best possible way. But I have to say in the last year service has become horrible. The waiters are not nice at all especially the head waiter. The amount of wine served in a glass is so little that you have to order two glasses to make up for one glass. The steaks use to be excellent, cooked to perfection and lately... I don't know if the cook changed but the steaks haven't been so great. Also, the Flan use to be excellent now it just taste like raw egg. This restaurant use to be one of my favorites but due to the terrible service, snotty waiter, and the last several times the food not being great I have to say I will not be going back. It's a shame because I really enjoyed this place. Cons: Waiters and Service

This place is always packed, because its GREAT, but with that said, they bend over backwards to get u in the door, and once there u feel special. The staff make u feel at home and welcome. There is NOTHING pretentious about this place, even though for my money it serves the best steak in NYC. Not only is it delicious but its organic, grass fed beef from Cow heaven Uruguay, a country which was ranked as the 3rd cleanest on earth in 2006. Ive been here 15 times and each time is just as good as the last, they are consistent, and focus on quality. Ive eaten in many steakhouses including Peter luger, Smith Wollensky, Gallaghers...I can tell u without a doubt Buenos Aires is a MUCH better value, better food, better atmosphere...simply superior!! The owner along with his wife are there and oversee a very efficient and professional operation, as well as taking a sincere interest in their clients; as witnessed by the fact that 1/2 the clients treat them as family with all the smiles and hugs that are exchanged. I highly recommend it and soon plan on going back for my 16th time. Forget the other steakhouses, Save yourself some money and a bad digestion, come to Buenos Aires u will be very happy u did...BA is where its AT! PS- Try the Tannat Don Diva it is AMAZING with beef, I cant recommend 1 dish without recommending everything because everything is excellent, but I would suggest saving a bit of room for any of the delicious desserts served with Dulce de leche. Most americans have eaten a steak before but few have had dulce de leche. Pros: Everything, wine, beef, empanadas, potato salad, chimichuri Cons: NONE

I really liked this place. The food is great and so is the service. The waiters are very friendly and so is the owner. I was in Argentina not long ago and I can say the steak was just as good, and it was really not pricey. The only thing was that it was a bit noisy, but it didn't really bother me that much. Overall great place! I definitely plan on coming back soon! Pros: Great Food, good service, nice lil place Cons: It was a lil noisy

Excellent food. Good quality & service. Lovely setting. Delivery is prompt too. However -- my only issue -- when I ordered recently, the delivery person came with no change whatsoever. Zero. That is just plain stupid. Thankfully I had a stash of laundry quarters in order to tip him well enough (but not insanely so.) They do, however, accept credit cards. I'll remember that next time. Pros: Good quality. Cons: Not for vegetarians! ;-)

Only been there once, but to this date it was the best overall dining experience I've had in NY. The space is amazing, and everything was perfect; exccellent wine and food, absolutely outstanding service. Definitely a special occasion spot, but one you should definitely make an effort to go to. Pros: service,food

BA.... The food is really good (I'm Argentine), the empanadas are made in the oven, the sausage is good, and the asado de tira amazing. Just go there if you want to eat, because the rest is despicable. They have TV in the walls like the ESPN Zone (WTF?) and if you go on Sat at 9pm, forget about getting a table. The owner is rude and the staff is just doing its job (mediocre). But honestly, the food is far better than at Azul, Novecento, Pampa, etc. So, if you want to go with friends of Maradona and have a nice meal, go to BA! But for a date, I would recommend CitySearch and good luck with your search! Pros: Asado de tira, empanadas, chorizo Cons: Ambience, full all the time, rude owner

It was very funny and I was impressed by the explanation the waiter gave me about the argentinean food and culture. The place is cozy and simple. The food is an A+. We really loved it Definitely a winner. Pros: Everything

I want to start by saying I found this place threw the Blackbook Guide. We waited for about an hour and 20 minutes at the bar next door on a saturday night. No wonder why Buenos Aires Restaurant is always packed. We started with the beef empanadas and they were exquisite. When I questioned the waiter about the different variety of steaks on the menu he explained each one to me which was very helpful, He also recomended an incredible malbec for a very fair price. The filet mignon I had was the best I've ever tasted in my life. From now on this will be my first choice to dine out. Pros: Best Steaks, great service
