As my husband put it “That was a disaster.” Small is ok, but tables very close and the server being food to the table next to us kept kicking my chair...never once said I'm sorry. and so loud that it's difficult to have a calm, enjoyable dining experience. I ordered the linguini with seafood and it went back. The amount of seafood and appetizer portion of pasta was a disgrace. As an example the tiny clams were approximately I/3 inch x1/3 inch. There were 6. The clams would not have filled a teaspoon. Again, the plate went back. I was offered the menu and chose a rigatoni with meat sauce. The wait was so long that my husband finished eating, his dish was removed and I still didn't get my order.when it finally came, (after asking about it twice) it was cold from sitting and waiting for it to be picked up for so long and it was overloaded with salt. The flank steak was “ok”, not great, special or memorable. Will not be going back.

The experience was fantastic. Everyone in our group raved about the outstanding service and the food was great. First time eating at tis establishment and it wont be our last. Thank you for a great place with super food and service.

The food was From so, so to not so good. Steak was hard and sea food in linguini was a little dry. Most probably I won't return.

We had to move outside because the inside is so loud and packed. The waitress was kind of strange, didn't leave me with a positive vibe. I liked my milanese a lot, my husband like his steak as well but thought it was overall a bit overpriced.

All of our food except for one of the tenderloins was fabulous! The one disappointing steak was due to a bad piece of meat. Can't really blame the restaurant. The wine we had was a “special” offering and was great. My first Malbec and I was very happy with it. Nathan our server couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating and was a large part of the pleasurable experience. We'll be back!

Yummy empanadas, amazing salad, well-cooked octopus, great sandwich and fries. We really enjoyed it. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Just wish there was better parking!!

Terrific Happy Hour menu! Food was outstanding and the service was friendly and attentive! For Happy Hour seating is at the bar or outside. We sat at the bar which was great until the place filled up and then it was too loud to carry on a conversation.I suggest grabbing a patio table . Love this spot!

Had an amazing experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a relaxing meal. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations, especially the desserts. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I've had recently — highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Excellent skirt steak, very friendly server, quiet at lunch and easy parking. Love the place!

It is an Argentinean restaurant, so the steak was great. However, do not order fish or Chicken Milanese. The chicken was very dry, overcooked. The fish had a strange smell, which we decided was due to the sauce it came in. Underwhelmed at best. It used to be MUCH better, but then again, order steak.

SOOO good. One of my favorite restaurants in LA. And their happy hour is probably the single best value happy hour I've ever seen. They have a 6oz steak and mashed potatoes for $15! Unheard of. Absolutely will be back!
