Jump in....on a culinary level, Buenos Aires delivers an authentic flavor. The baked meat empanadas are the real thing, just like back home (filled with ground meat,eggs, olives, spices), the meat cuts are tender and juicy, the thickly cut french fries lack crispiness but not flavor, especially prepared a la provenzal, with garlic and parsley. We ordered Felipe Rutini's Trumpeter malbec very reasonably priced -for a restaurant- at 26 dollars. The wine was definitely too warm .The wait can get a bit long but is worth it. The servings are very generous. Service was quite good. Waiters were solicitous. The only thing which bothered me was the 2 large tv sets which dominate the small room. It was explained the owner is a rabid soccer fan, however, you get the feeling this is imposed upon you. The atmosphere would be much more pleasant if there was soft tango music in the background, especially when the images flashed on the screens are of internet access advertising. It is distracting. The desert, panqueque with dulce de leche was exquisite. As far as the food is concerned, I rate it an 8, service a 7, and ambience a 6 (due to the tv sets).-
Pros: Authentic argentine grilled meat fare and wine list reasonably priced.
Cons: The 2 large tv sets detract from the candlelit atmosphere and the dining experience
