"The waiter who served us was very attentive and friendly."
"Curtis really stood out as exceptional with his food and wine recommendations."
Cons:
"Upon arrival, we were seated and seen to quickly, but it lacked basic things like forgetting cutlery, providing water with no glasses, no napkins."
"We had a side of broccoli and asked for it be cooked in oil instead of butter, this was a big disappointment, it was soggy with approximately 2 cloves of garlic cut up on it."
"Service also quite slow, very busy again and understaffed it seems."
"Came for a celebration, the restaurant wasn’t busy but it took an age and calling somebody over to take drinks order."
"Service was very slow, constantly having to chase either drinks or food."
"Tried to book on two separate occasions over the phone on Saturday and told too busy."
"Very busy on Saturday night, wouldn't get too over excited about the whole experience."
"My steak tasted like bin, staff were extremely rude, no polite greeting either."
"Waited for an hour and a half for food to be told by the waiter that our food still wasn't ready because the chef is having a few problems."
"Waited an hour for our mains and had to chase them for it. They did apologise for the delay, but there was no offer of a reduction in cost or free drink as compensation."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Enjoyed beautiful top quality steak with all the trimmings for an extra special Sunday lunch."
"We ordered the Feast, rib eye steak, and all of the side dishes of vegetables. It's the vegetables that made the dish."
"We had the best service from all the staff, everything was cooked so good, looked and tasted amazing."
"Food was amazing, the portion sizes were really good and the food quality made it worth the cost."
"The highlight for me was the chimichurri was packed with so much flavour."
"Had the sharing steak beef Castillo which was so good."
"All the food was very well cooked, tasted great and very filling. I particularly like the Chistorra Sausage with heritage tomatoes."
"We got the wild prawns and calamari fritters which came with a lovely sauce."
"The standout being the lamb cutlets which oozed flavour."
"We had chicken milanese and fries, £16.95 this was delicious, the breadcrumbs were fresh and the temperature was hot, really good."
Cons:
"The meats were not great."
"We had the gauchos feast to share which was ok a bit greasy in parts. Pork belly was just belly."
"The other weekend we visited Fiesta del Astado in Shirley to try out their new Sunday menu and cocktails. Fiesta del Asado is an Argentinian steak house."
"The steaks were small and overcooked. Don't think I'll be going back anytime soon."
"The calamari, chicken wings, and prawns for starters were delicious. For the mains, we had the fillet steak, cooked medium rare."
"The food was great, but the service needs to be better and they automatically put a service charge on your bill."
"The beef rib dish I ate was overly cooked and generally not very nice. I left most of the dish so it was apparent there was an issue."
"I ordered the so-called brisket. When it arrived, it was just a small bowl of what looked like square chunks of white fat."
"We had the calamari for starters, which was awful, it was overcooked and nothing like calamari, small rings of overcooked batter."
"The food was mostly nice, food was cold and veg could have been cooked a little longer."
Ambiance and Atmosphere
Pros:
"Excellent atmosphere. Live music and singing."
"Tonight it was a bit flat as it was empty so we couldn’t really get the feel of the atmosphere."
"Fabulous experience. The bar staff and manager I believe were also really friendly."
"We booked the outside terrace, which isn’t the greatest seats as the chairs outside are quite uncomfortable."
"As soon as you enter Fiesta del Asado you are hit with amazing decor and friendly staff."
"The decor is beautiful, music is lovely, you get the feeling of being abroad and feeling relaxed."
"Good efficient service. Food was well cooked and good quality - steak in particular. Cocktails were novel and delicious."
"Being a Monday evening we were not expecting a great atmosphere but there were a fair few in and the whole ambiance was very pleasant."
"The staff and atmosphere are amazing here."
"The atmosphere was romantic and electric. They had live music."
Cons:
"It was very busy, but we managed to get a table for 2. The temperature had dropped yesterday so it wasn't very warm and cosy inside."
"Very loud on a Saturday night, so if that’s your vibe and you’re not really interested in hearing what the person you came with has to say then no problem."
"Service also quite slow, very busy again and understaffed it seems, lovely waitress though."
"The temperature had dropped yesterday so it wasn't very warm and cosy inside."
"It was noisy and hard to hear each other speaking over dinner. I had an aperol which was £10.00. It was in a small wine glass and definitely not the best aperol I’ve had."
"The atmosphere is lovely, but is let down by the mixed approach of the staff. Some treat you like royalty others like you are dining in a cafe."
"Really interesting and modern restaurant that showcases Argentinian food with flair. The main attraction is there steaks but side dishes are cooked very well and of a nice variety."
"The food was very good. Garlic is included in almost all of the dishes so if you don't like it you're choices are limited."
"Simple food good no help in splitting the bill between 6 families as too busy. Only 6 tables occupied on a Wednesday for my son's birthday, sat there with a calculator work out the bill when the staff should help."
"The staff and atmosphere are amazing here, but my steak was overcooked and chewy..not to my liking at all."
