We ordered the experience for 2. It was really good. The ribs were delicious. The strip steak was good and the chorizo was good. The Brussel sprouts were delicious! (Best part) and the fries were good. I didn’t like the salad much.

Reserved for a large party and it was quick and easy on a Tuesday evening. Service was good but a slightly delayed. I ordered the 10oz Skirt steak. At $34 (at my time of dining), it was quite pricey. Ordered it a medium rare and it was more on the rare side. It was good but not otherworldly. The dip was a nice addition. All the people at my table ordered medium rare but most got more on the rare side. The fries were crispy and nicely seasoned and white delicious. The atmosphere was good, though.

Really enjoyed the service and ambiance of this restaurant. We ordered the Argentinian Parrillada experience for two. So much meat! Short rib and sausages were great. NY Strip was over cooked – some of the meats were just warm. French fries were really good as were brussel sprouts. Only drawback is the total price of $170 for two people including drinks and tip. I expect amazing for that price tag and the food was unique but not out of this world.

Everything was delicious! Though they were short-handed, service was very good. We had salads, veggies, a burger, Mac & cheese, gnocchi, & provoleta. Will definitely be back.

This was my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. I loved the chicken empanadas, the Caesar salad, the filet 8oz, gnocchi, Mac and cheese, and the papas brava. We got a bunch of sides and shared. Every single thing was delicious. I highly recommend. Our waitress, Michelle, was awesome. The hostess was ok but not overly nice. She was probably stressed or something.

We came to Cincinnati for a concert and stubbled across this restaurant. It was hard to decide what we wanted to try. It all sounded so good. The food is Latin American inspired. They had a good selection of draft beer and mixed drinks. We started with the Bruschetta. The flavors mixed perfectly and was so flavorful. My husband had the 22 ounce bone-in ribeye and it was cooked exactly as he requested. He added the Wild mushroom demi-glace. It was enough for both of us to use. I had the 8 ounce filet and again it was cooked perfectly. I added Garlic roasted mushrooms and onions and was glad I did! We got shared sides and I highly recommend the Mac and Cheese. Penne pasta, three cheese fondue, melted provolone, and toasted breadcrumbs. I will be trying to recreate this!! The bread pudding for dessert was delicious as well. Do yourselves a favor and try this restaurant if your in Downtown Cincinnati. The dining experience was exceptional from start to finish.

The NY strip and skirt was delicious, but everything else I felt it wasn’t very good, especially the brussels and sausages. The atmoshphere was beautiful. The waiter didn’t really offer anything to the experience, was cold and uninterested. We ended up stopping another waitress to get info about the meal. The drinks were good but will not be back, based on the service.

My friend and I ate here last night and the table we got placed at was cute and had huge comfy chairs. The waitress was extremely sweet. But the food… omg. Some of the best steak I have ever tasted. We got the appetizer with the mozzarella ball and it was amazing. And then we ordered the Argentinian experience for 2 and it was so incredibly delicious I highly recommend. I can’t wait to go back.
