"Quite possibly the best meal I've had in Pittsburgh at a restaurant. The small plates were phenomenal. Everything had a touch of attention and taste that was very unique. Also really enjoyed the mocktail selection and atmosphere. Lighting was really impressive. Steak was cooked to perfection. I am a sucker for chimichurri sauce and the steak was so good. I didn't really even need the sauce. Their dessert menu is long and I was sad that I could only order a few things after such an extensive meal. Pistachio ice cream was potentially the best pistachio ice cream I've ever had. The date cake was also phenomenal."

"Most tender steak that ive have in a long time. It was also cooked PERFECT at medium rare!!!!! We started our dinner off with the Octopus Small Plate (Pulpa de Playo) which was paired with some greens and olive mixture that was very tasty and the octopus wasnt over cooked. Then we ordered our meal and decided on the Argentinean Filets. They were amazing! To go with our steak we ordered the Ceasar (which is big enough for 2-3 people), the Mushrooms (Setas Salteadas), and the Pure de Papas which was very creamy mashed potatoes with olive oil. There was only one thing I didn't like from the assortment and only because it had too much salt in my opinion and that was the Ceasar Salad. The anchovies made it too salty but I did add pepper to it and that made it all better. After dinner we got an Espresso Martini (super strong and delicious) and the Dulce De Leche Flan as well as the Almendrado which was homemade vanilla icecream with an almond brittle and it was by far the best dessert I have tasted in a LONG time that was gluten free from a restaurant. The service was also very friendly and attentive and our server was very knowledgeable on the menu and was good at offering option for us since we are gluten free. I really enjoyed the restaurant and the atmosphere and will most definitely be back!"

"Food, service and vibe were all great! Especially loved the steak, fries, empanadas (meat were better than the corn but both were good). The boquerones were a surprise hit while the crudo and pulpo were not as strong. I would definitely recommend and go back. Great cocktails and wines, as well."
