The best Uruguayan style grilled meat in the USA. The friendly and attentive service like the South Americans provide and the quality of the food with the usual preparation care. Meat cooked on a Uruguayan style wood grill in plain sight and at the point of choice. Safety pin.

I recently went to have dinner at "El Leño Steakhouse Bar & Grill", The restaurant offers inventive takes on traditional Uruguayan cuisine, including parrillada. The ambiance was calming and ok with a somewhat historic building and antique decor. On the other hand, the service was not that great, They have tables available for us to seat, but we still had to wait a lot to be seated. One of the reasons could have been the lack of waitresses/personnel. I recommend that they hire a food runner. Other than that, the food was delicious and is was worth the wait and awkwardness.

Food was good , been there a few times and had issues with being charged for things we did not order ! Waitress was putting drinks on the bill that we never received . Check your bill thoroughly when you go there .

The service was so fake. My waitress wasn't attentive. Now the food was so disappointing. I ordered Garlic Shrimp as a appetizer and it tastes like it came from the sea. It wasn't good. My food was cold. Don't even consider this business welcoming.

We (the group) came to celebrate Juan's Bday, my son picked the restaurant for him, then because I saw on Instagram this special dish (Picaña with Lobster) is not on the menu, I decided that I had to try it, it was amaizing, and I don't know how but the lobster tail was very tasty and crunchy like a chicharrón, also the chimichurry was great, the portion of the sides are delicious and generous, the servers have good vibes, all those things make me Happy, Thanks guys @galaxia4470@ellenosteakhouseWe (the group) came to celebrate Juan's birthday, my son chose the restaurant for him, then I saw this special dish on Instagram, it was not on the menu, (Picaña with Lobster) I decided I had to try it, it was spectacular, and I don't know how the cola was as delicious and crispy as a chicharrón, the chimichurri was also great, the portions of the companions are generous, the waiters have a good vibe, all these things make me happy, thank you guys.@galaxia4470@elenosteakhousePICAÑA WITH LOBSTERPROVOLONETENTRAILSTOSTONESPOTATO SALAD

Zero stars if possible. Wife and I entered through rear door as we did many times in the past. We used the bathroom before entering. My wife advised me one stall in the women's bathroom was clogged, and the other door was taped shut. I told her to use the males bathroom, and I would stay at the door holding it shut. Suddenly, an employed barged in yelling a women can't use the males bathroom. I attempted to explain 5g3 situation, and he refue

I travel to Buenos Aires every year and this place makes me feel like I’m there. Traditional Argentine/Uruguayan asado on a charcoal grill. The meat is amazing and very reasonably priced. I go there on a regular basis. If you’re a meat eater. I highly recommend it. Also if your a cheese person a recommend the provolone on the grill. It’s amazing!Parking: They have a small driveway to park. So you might have to find street parking. But it’s not a bad area. I drive a luxury car and not worried about it when I park it on the street there

Incredible experience, from the food to the service, everything is perfect. The brazier is made to perfection and the variety of meats offered is very good, the desserts available did not disappoint either thanks to the wide variety they offer and how delicious they are, an authentic Uruguayan experience.

We visited this restaurant for my husband's birthday and the food was delicious, we went on a weekday and it was kind of full but the service didn't take that long, the server that took our order was very knowledgeable of the different dishes they had. They had a nice atmosphere with good music.Vegetarian options: They do have options for vegetarians even though is mainly a steakhouse.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome they have highchairs, kids menus and activities so they can be entertained
