This place is as good as you could possibly want. The staff is generous and gracious, the food is delicious and prices are reasonable for the quality of what you're getting. The steaks we got were variations on the rib eye - they have a less-fat version and a more-fat version. They both are very very good, come on a wood board with some extra flaky salt and a healthy amount of chimichurri. It was all completely divine.

20+ yrs of going to Carlitos Gardel. Nothing short of an extraordinary experience every time. Perfect balance between sophistication and warmth. Every dish that graced our table was a testament to culinary artistry. The freshness of the ingredients truly shone through, and every bite was a reminder of the chef's dedication to quality and creativity. It’s clear that the team at Carlitos Gardel has mastered their craft. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. The entire staff worked seamlessly together, creating a rhythm that felt both polished and unobtrusive. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness, but Carlitos has achieved just that. Every aspect of the dining experience—from the delicious food to the beautiful ambiance and exceptional service—made for a memorable night. If you’re looking for a place that embodies delicious flavors, stunning atmosphere, and top-notch service, I highly recommend treating yourself to an evening here. You won’t be disappointed!
