"great food for the value; would recommend that staff not mop floors while diners are still present as the smell of the cleaning product overwhelms the room and detract from the dining experince"

"We always enjoy Friday evenings at this restaurant. The food and service are great. Friday evenings there is usually authentic live musicians from South America performing romantic songs in Spanish with acoustic guitar, harp, accordion, etc. There is a friendly atmosphere including the staff and patrons. The wine list is extensive and offers a great value. Includes a small Argentinian grocery store and bakery."

"There was nothing outstanding or terrible about this restaurant. Perhaps it was what I ordered. I was a little disappointed they could not accommodate a request I made, but I wasn't too upset about it.

The service was good. We had a server that was in training, but he did his best and was attentive. I lied. The Tres Leches was actually very tasty. It was the star.

I cannot recommend going or not going. It was just okay."

"Live Duo(Guitar and Harp) played bohemian music. Very appropriate for those whom enjoy classical oldies from Spanish ballads, boleros and tangos. As for the palate, the meat was grilled just right. Meat was well seasoned and moist enough to tease ones appetite. Wine stock is quite extensive.You may order by the glass or bottle. Prices are appropriate and reasonable."

"If you are looking for that place that reminds you of Buenos Aires, this is it
Look no more, El Patio is a little piece of Buenos Aires in Rockville. The food
is great, really good wines too, deserts are amazing, the staff is very friendly
but please go with patience, waiting for a table can take some time even with
a reservation but for us it was well worthed.
Great place to enjoy good Argentinian food."
