Pricey miniature steaks that are nothing special 8/19/2006

senatorsmith Provided by Partner
The steaks at this steakhouse are the tiniest in the country -- like the sort of steaks once served as airline food (at least in first class!). You will hardly recognize many regular cuts because of their miniature size. In Argentina as in the US, steak and big are qualities that always go together and are the first measure of an excellent steakhouse. Per pound, this must be the most expensive steak in the country and sadly there is nothing special about the flavor, tenderness, cut or cattle origin -- it is indistinguishable from someting at Denny's. There is a good selection of Argentine wines and some nice malbec, the signature red of Argentina, however wine markups are some of the most egregious in the country. The signature characteristic of most Argentine wines is their wonderful affordability. Yet, this restaurant has taken many of those same wines and priced them as if they were the rarest of French vintages. The establishment has no bar, so only wine and beer is available, no liquor or cocktails. The ambience of the place is a minimalist chic interpretation of an Argentine stable. Service is very friendly and knowledgeable. Patrons seemed to be a dressy, well-to-do crowd. Beware that prices listed on the restaurant's website may not be correct. As of the writing of this review, actual restaurant prices were consistently higher than what is mentioned in the website. Pros: Chic Argentine stable ambience Cons: Miniature, flavorless steaks; highly marked-up wines more
