This is the first time i'm writing a review b/c I was so disappointed by the most recent reviews for plataforma. This restaurant is one of the best steak houses in the city if you are true meat eater. I have never had a problem with my reservations and even after showing up late a few times they are very accomondating. It is a fairly large space, yet the dining experience is very intimate and romantic. The waitstaff is also great. There is also sometimes live music if i remember correctly. When you first arrive theres an open buffet with seafood, pastas, breads, sushi (which is decent-basic tuna, salmon sushi and a few basic rolls), salad etc. Once youre seated the waitstaff comes around with various types of steak (ribeye, skirt, flank, filet), chicken, some pork (bbq ribs), etc. The first time I went there I couldnt believe that steak could literally melt in your mouth- its like butter!. It's cooked to PERFECTION. I love my steak medium to rare while my fiance enjoys his more well done (which is a shame) - either way, you have the choice and they are equally delicious. The side dishes are a little weak-but lets face it youre not really going there to eat the cous-cous and the brocolli. The only thing is that the desserts are a bit weak - i'm a huge dessert lover, but really youre so stuffed by the end of the meal who really has the space. Also the price is very affordable - i think about $80 fix price. Before i went here, I swore by Frankie and Johnies but I think steak for steak- plataforma is better.
