| - Very solid Argentinean restaurant. I'm from Argentina, so I'll offer my critique from that perspective...
The dishes are all very good (we tried most everything.. favourite was the chicken, but of course the entrana (inside skirt steak) was solid, with nice chimichurri sauce to boot. Would have liked slightly larger portions on the starters (especially the provoleta) because the intent is to share the food.
Inventive, modern twist on everything, without losing the core ingredients and preparation style that make these classic Argentine comfort food dishes so great. Cocktails were also tasty. Our only complaint was the salchicha (sausage) was a bit undercooked... but it didn't stop us from eating it all!
I would love to see an expanded menu, with some more cuts of meat that we don't see in Canada, such as bife de chorizo, vacio, and morcilla. Would also like to see full-sized empanadas, not just cocktail-sized, and more variety of fillings -- which is a great opportunity to be innovative. And of course, if their hallmark is the Parilla, they need to offer a Parilla Mixta for the table, where we can get a sampler of various meats (and chorizos please!) on a spectacular wooden cutting board to dig into! Not to mention way more substantial steak knives, please!
Overall, really pleased to see Argentine food done right, and we'll be back.
