The empanadas were the highlight for sure&mdash;crispy, juicy, just the right amount of filling. We went on a Saturday night and the place was packed, so our roast beef came out a bit cold and way after the sides. I&rsquo;d still go back, just maybe on a quieter day.

Good spot for a casual meal. Portions are solid for the price, and the space is comfortable. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area.

The grilled fish was so fresh, really hit the spot. Staff were friendly too. Nice spot right in the center, easy to get to.

Came for the lamb chops, left thinking about the sauce. Meat was cooked right, juicy, not overdone. The wait was longer than I wanted, but the plate made up for it. I&#39;d eat here again just for that dish.

Came for dinner, place looks great inside. Clean, even the bathroom. Menu&rsquo;s got options and portions are big. Alejandro and Lalo took care of us, super attentive, helped us pick. Solid spot.

The seasonal fruit bowl really stood out&mdash;so fresh, and the presentation was lovely. I could tell they actually care about the quality of what they serve. The space felt calm too, with soft music in the background. Nothing fancy, but it worked for a quiet breakfast. Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but I&rsquo;d still come back for that fruit.

The grilled fish was solid and the wine list had a few decent Malbecs by the glass. Portions are generous, maybe even too much for one. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

Came after the hot springs, food hit the spot. Place was packed but service stayed quick.

Steak sandwich was drowning in mayo, kinda threw off the whole thing. Place itself has a decent vibe though.

The croissant was flaky and buttery, and the latte was solid. Cozy enough to sit and chat, but honestly the prices felt a bit steep for what you get.

The chivito came with coals underneath, kept it smoky the whole way through. Best one I&#39;ve had around here. Coke in a glass bottle was a nice touch too.

The waitress pointed me to the flank steak and it was solid, just came out a little cooler than I like. Right in the middle of town, easy to find.
