The restaurant is nice enough -- a lot of dark wood to give it a steakhosue vibe. The steak menu is extensive with selections of US, Argentinian, Australian, and Japanese meats with many different cuts. I ordered an Argentian T-bone, medium rare. As soon as it was set before me I was concerned as it was much thinner than your usual steakhouse t-bone. Nonethless, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. As soon as I cut into it this thin piece of meat, I discovered that it had been grilled to well-done. I called the waiter over and, to his credit, he immediately also saw that the steak was well-done and offered to bring me another one. As my dining companian's steak and the sides (I'll get to those later) had already been served, I opted to forego any steak so that we could eat together and while the sides were still warm. To my surprise, however, the waiter came back and again said that they'd be happy to cook me another steak. I said, no thank you. A couple of minutes later, another waiter came over and informed me that they had another steak, albeit a different cut, already cooked to medium rare. I again said no and they finally stop pestering me to get another steak. My companion's steak, the Pampas, was a nice thick cut which he also ordered medium-rare and was served medium. He opted to keep it instead of sending it back. As for the sides, the steamed spinach was so overcooked that it I thought it was the spinach puree. The stuffed "Whole Backed Potato" was nothing of the sort. It was a few thickish slies of potatoes with some sour cream and cheese on them. Net-net, the only thing we really enjoyed was the nice bottle of Malbec we ordered and the empanadas starter we shared. On the moderately plus side, the provided us with a 10% discount on our bill.
