    The food is fantastic. Their Gaucho Burger is KILLER, and they have a new item: Filet Mignon Brochettes. It's just amazing. Matias's service was on point. He was invaluable in our selections. Their Chocolate Mousse is to die for.

    Fantástico! Mateo was terrific and made our birthday celebration special. The food, as always, was on point. And the Tomahawk ribeye was flavorful, juicy and delicious!

    I was not too crazy about the calamari. It was not worth the price of $22.00. Too breaded, hard and flavor was lost. I loved their steak it was perfect and so flavorful. The sides, salad and mashed potatoes were fine. Would definitely visit again.

    I have had much better grilled meat, the sides are bland at best, and everything is ridiculously overpriced for what it is. That being said, the staff are extremely nice but the good and dining experience is ok. I didn't feel like it's worth the cost.

    Our server, Thalia, was wonderful. Very attentive, kept drinks full, and walked us thru the menu. Atmosphere well appointed, menu was extensive, prices and quality were very reasonable. Generous portion sizes. Would gladly return. Would also recommend using Open Table for your reservation, especially for larger parties.

    We have been to this location previously and the experience had always been pleasant. However, today we showed up 10 mins before our reservation and there was a 35-45 min wait. Per the host they had too many reaervations. She offered a table outside with shorter wait. We decided to take the table outside. When my son and mom sat their pants were wet as their seat cushions were wet. It was cold and this made it worst. The tables were also unstable and kept rocking back and forth. In addition, our table was in a far corner. So our service was also slow and lacking.

    I think they’re a little understaffed. Parking is bad during weekend evenings.
