Excellent steak

Beyond expectations
Been here a number of times, while some reviewers have pointed out that the decor is hardly likely to win awards, the same cannot be said for the rest. Good selection of wines, well chosen for steak (more Cab Sauv + younger wines) and the steak is fantastic. Never had a bad one yet

Steak it out

Above expectations
I'm sorry Fiona B had a bad meal here. A lot of people had recommended it to me and I wondered if it could live up to expectation, but I really liked it.
Went with a group of friends on a Sunday evening, place was quiet but still had atmosphere, mostly brought about by helpful staff who didn't seem to object to our noise levels and even encouraged us by bringing the birthday boy a shot of traditional Argentine filth.
There are no frills here when it comes to the decor - you kind of get the feeling you could be sitting at a long scrubbed table on a ranch somewhere in South America (well, you do if you have a slightly overactive imagination).
I'm picky about my steak and was impressed with both the cooking and the tenderness of what I'd ordered. Great chips, decent veg and a fruity red to wash it all down with.
No complaints here. Price seems fair for what it is and where it is. It's cheaper than the Gaucho Grills but less pretentious too. Vegetarians will hate it. And starve.

No good for me.

Well below expectations
This place has been recommended to me by so many people, I thought I couldn't go wrong. But it was a terrible disappointment.
Had the worst meal ever here. My dinner companion had a miserable steak, cooked well, but SO small. I had a salad which consisted of iceberg lettuce, a tomato cut in quarters, cucumber, a small block of feta cheese coated in salad cream.
The only good thing were the chips & wine. Service was terrible. Guess we went on an 'off' day, but I have no desire to ever go back.
