It was kinda sad to be honest. My wife and I came to this restaurant three years ago on our wedding anniversary, and had the best meal we ever had. The service, the food, and drinks all the top notch. we told anyone who would listen back in Detroit that if you ever came to Chicago you had to go to this restaurant. Unfortunately, that was not the case the last time we went this past Friday. The drinks were still good, but the service was lacking and the food just tasted like nobody care, everything was missing flavor, and most of the food was under cooked, except for one dish they sent out that wasn't cooked at all just lightly warmed under the heating lamp. Maybe it was a bad night, maybe they have a new cooking staff however it's going to be a long time before we think about giving this place another chance. And that's what's really sad.

The gaucho steak was savory and perfectly cooked. Good size and presentation. I was there on a Tuesday so service was great.

The menú is very varied, we tried the Ropa vieja appetizer was really good 👍🏽, and the ceviche was the best of the night after the hosting girls, she was very fun and polite. So ... the bad part is I sow a Argentina Parrillada in the menú and I was so excited to try it, I'm a beef fan!! And I ask for medium well grill, the plate was for 2 people and 70% was fry plantain and potatoes, the best of the plate was the chimichurri, the beef was so over cook and hard to eat , the ribs was so small and thin and two chicken wing size pieces all this for 100$ , I don't care to much the price but I was expecting a better quality food . The morcilla was good but the sauce was hard to bite too.

Depends on the age of the children. It is, but there are scantily dressed people (workers) during evening dinners.

How much does it cost to rent out a space for about 20 or can we just make a reservation

Robin Kidd | Oct 5, 2017
Bertha Diaz | Oct 5, 2017

A group of 15 of us were accommodated very nicely and we had a set menu which makes it easier on the waiters. No need for us to rent space for dinner. Food & service were outstanding. We made reservations. Call the restaurant for details to see if they can meet your needs.
