★★★★★ 5.0 Lilly B · Jan 2026

I ordered the lamb chops, bone marrow, and avocado cucumber salad, and it ended up being the perfect combination. The lamb chops were cooked just right — juicy, flavorful, and tender — and the bone marrow had that rich, silky depth that paired beautifully with everything else. The avocado cucumber salad was fresh and light, giving a nice balance to the richer dishes. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and well made, and the service was great too — attentive without being pushy, which made the whole meal feel even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a spot with satisfying, well-balanced dishes and smooth service, this place is totally worth a visit.

This was by far one of the best places I've had a meal at in a few years in all honesty. Wow The meat dish were awesome and the suggestion by the waiter was phenomenal. Lamb was amazing as well. I will make it back to California again. Just to eat here one day.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Terry Norris · Oct 2025

I believe the price is very high by an extra 20-30% or so compared to what was received and the name of the place. I expected authentic Argentine style cuisine. It is more of an American style of Argentine food, intended for the blandest of palets. While the meats were tender and juicy, it is balanced with tiny portions. Normally that is automatically balanced with a side of something, but here that is an extra cost, or if you get a premium side, much more. I should mention that everything from the bar was mixed very well. I would give the bar mixes a B+. I went on a busy Saturday dinner rush, so getting the waiter's attention did require a bit more effort. Additional loss of value when you need to use the bathrooms. Hold your breath and ignore the worst designed bathroom on ear

Company Holiday Party! Separate dining area. Food was great. Service was excellent. Steak was perfect and dessert Creme Brulee was delicious. Plan to visit again soon!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Leila · Sep 2025

The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful! However, I had higher expectations for the food, especially the paella. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the reviews, so I can only give it 3 stars for the food. The steak was pleasant, but it lacked something special. It’s a great place for a celebration, but it might not be the best choice for a memorable food experience.
