    We went with family to celebrate two birthdays and were super excited to try this place since we love Argentinian food. WOWWW the bad reviews of this place are EXTREMELY ACCURATE! If I could I would give it ZERO stars. WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Our waiter was utterly disrespectful and rude! When I was trying to order he walked away. My husband and I ordered the same steak and his came correct and mine wasn't. It came with Chimmichuri which I have a severe allergy to vinegar so obviously would never order. We nicely told the waiter we ordered the same thing and he fought with us telling us no it's our fault. After arguing with us he then proceeded to tell my husband every time time I walk by you guys ask me for something. WE ASKED FOR WATER ONE TIME! (Which they make money off of) we also ordered Cesar Salad as starter...never saw the salad. We asked for the manager and repeated multiple times we aren't asking for anything but just wanted to let him know and explained to him what the waiter had said. He was nice enough to comp something on the bill but still ended up paying a hefty bill for extremely UNDERWHELMING food and TERRIBLE experience. Would never recommend this place to anyone. The best part was the live music..that's all.

    I have never been to a restaurant that does not serve regular tap water . They are pushing only bottled water and they said it is because of the Coved. It was a very bad experience. Also the servers were not very accommodating and snotty. My lamb was excellent and so was the salad, however our friend had to send his dinner back it was not good. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday, and were looking forward to the eve. We were very disappointed.

    The restaurant was nice and the wine was great. We enjoyed our dinner, but the services could have been a lot more warm and personable. We were celebrating our first year and we didn’t feel anything special besides a “Happy Anniversary” on our way out.

    Outstanding genuinely warm professional service. Some excessive salting of food. Wine is too expensive with lowest priced bottles at around $90. Overpriced water bottles.

    Food was very good. Meat was by far the best part. Our waiter was a little smug. He was a know it all. He even came back to the table after telling me I couldn't have a sauce I requested and said "I was right about the sauce, wasn't I?"

    Fabulous intimate setting with great ambiance. Back entrance easy to access for “outdoor” seating. Was enclosed with heaters so didn’t really feel outdoors which was good given the weather. We went for our 1st year wedding anniversary. The wedge Caesar salad had homemade dressing to die for. Stuffed mushrooms were great. Even the bread was perfect. Husband had wagyu short ribs and I got the veal ravioli. Both of us were perfectly full and very satisfied. Dessert was reason enough to go. We had the house specialty which was a peach dessert with caramel accents, cake, and meringue. Beautiful people all around us. Very responsive weight staff but not over bearing. Will definitely be back. Would like to sit inside next time to feel the ambience of the original restaurant. Really had a lovely time.

    We have been going to Carlitos Gardel for over 20 years. Don’t tell my midwestern friends, but this place is the best steakhouse in Los Angeles. The empanadas, pasta, creamed spinach, and stuffed mushrooms are also amazing. Brother Gerard knows his grass fed beef, and Brother Max knows his Argentine wine. The ambience and service are perfect. I only wish I could afford to eat here more often.

    The place and food was great, but we had a bad experience with our server. He was very rude and we felt that he was constantly on top of us, He also was very disrespectful a couple of times. We spoke with one of the owners and he was very understanding and comforting. Overall I will recommend this restaurant and I will go there again. Hopefully we don’t have to deal with the same server again.

    Herbert was the best waiter we have ever had and our prime ribeye steak was probably the best we have ever had in our entire lives. You have no become my wife and our wedding anniversary location (which is an achievement since I proposed to her in a different local restaurant).

    A small but very special restaurant on the "Not so Safe" end of Melrose in downtown LA. The quality of food is incredible...their steaks, are the best you will ever have in Southern California. The prices are high...but I never mind paying a high price for the best. This is the best.

    The best Argentinian food in LA and beyond. I brought a group and we devoured the Parillada and bone marrow and empanadas. The Malbecs are first class, as is the courtesy and attention we received from everyone there. The meats are generally superb and decadent. Bring your appetite and indulge in this first class experience

    My girlfriend and I found this restaurant after watching an episode of one of our fave shows, Bake Squad. Her Opa was Argentinian and we recently lost him so seeing the family who runs this restaurant truly gave her joy. I immediately booked a reservation and they did not disappoint. From the spectacular lighting, to the charismatic waiter, and of course the delicious food, we were in heaven. Our personal highlight was the Dulce de leche with peaches and cream cake. We had seen it on the show and it was the best cake we’d ever tasted. It was so wonderful seeing the family working in the restaurant as well. Makes you truly feel like you’re being taken care of. My girlfriend works very hard for our family and this place gave her a night she’ll never forget. We will 100% be back again one day.
