The stake is really good and cooked well per our request. The starter empanada is not what we are expecting as we have tasted authentic Argentinian empanada before. The sweet potato fries is burnt. All in all is 4/5. Staff service is excellent.

Delightful place. We went for my birthday and it was lovely. Quiet because it was early in the week but still had a relaxed atmosphere. The food was great. The only reason I gave it 4* for food is because the chips were slightly more salty than I would like. It might just have been a slightly over enthusiastic shake of the salt shaker. The steak I had was one of the best I've ever had. Staff were friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. They very kindly sung me happy birthday with a dessert at the end of the meal. I will definitely be back to try the tapas or have another steak.
