Atmosphere and Ambience

Pros:

  • "The decor is nice and atmosphere has a cool chilled vibe."
  • "Lovely seating area outside."
  • "The service is attentive but not overbearing & the staff were friendly & personable."

Cons:

  • "The only major complaint I had was that the seating felt too casual for a birthday dinner."
  • "The restaurant has good vibe and is a go-to place for dating, but the atmosphere made the dining experience feel WAY too casual for a birthday dinner."

Service

Pros:

  • "The service was absolutely outstanding, we were served by 3 different women who were all extremely kind, courteous and very helpful."
  • "Service was very prompt and very courteous."
  • "Amazing restaurant! Both waitresses we had were super friendly."

Cons:

  • "My order was delivered wrong, given to my colleague. When I pointed this out I was brushed off as if nothing was wrong."
  • "The only major complaint I had was that the seating felt too casual.. And the little pods were for 'groups of 4 only'."
  • "Difficult to rate this as overall as the food was delicious and comfortably deserves 5 stars, but the service was absolutely appalling."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "My steak was cooked, as requested medium rare and the flavor tasted so good! The chimmicuri accompanied it so well!"
  • "The steak was tender. The service was friendly."
  • "Both me and the husband had steak, rump, and rib-eye, and both were perfectly made."

Cons:

  • "Was stunned to find the Buenasado Argentina 'Grill on the board' for 2 consisted of a 6oz rump, a 6oz sirloin, some chicken, sausage etc. Extremely disappointing quantity, absolute rip-off for £51."
  • "The steaks were a little more on the medium side even though we requested medium rare, but they were still good."
  • "Starters were tasty and the steak was cooked perfectly, service was quick. But the steaks were just overly seasoned with salt and the peppercorn sauce was just bland."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The portions were generous and great value for the price."
  • "Absolutely incredible experience for our Daughter’s 21st… amazing and genuine Argentine ambiance, staff were very attentive and genuine but not overbearing, and most importantly their menu was comprehensive and delicious."
  • "Had a lovely meal here prior to seeing a show at the Hexagon (which is about a seven minute walk from the restaurant)."

Cons:

  • "Was assured by duty manager this was correct which is bizarre as under the sharing options section of the menu the prices are per person, the Steak sampler includes portion per person, but the Grill on the board is to be shared by all! If that is to be believed then for 10 people you would pay £255 and still get 6oz of rump etc!"
  • "Family dinner. Nice atmosphere and great service. Starters were a little underwhelming - but the steaks were excellent. It’s not cheap (£300 for 4 of us)."
  • "For my main, I ordered the beef burger which was fabulous. The meat was juicy and had great flavor. I opted to add extra cheese, but the menu only listed Mozzarella cheese for an extra £1. However, the burger came with blue cheese instead (which I didn't mind as I like blue cheese), and on the bill, it was charged at an extra £2."
