    Amazing atmosphere, food, service and prompt attentive attention for us. Great food and was more expensive than I imagined…not that I looked at the prices beforehand or anything; and all good as it was a cool celebration space for my new job!

    The restaurant was nice also the service. The food was good but overpriced, I order the potato Gnocchi, it didn't have flavor. I don't think I'll go back again just because the food is similar to other average Argentinean restaurants.

    Our experience at Carlitos was Top Notch from our arrival greeting and the attentive service elevated higher from there. Superb appetizers, food, and dessert. The Spinach & Cucumber and Caesar salads were exceptional, the steaks and Branzino were cooked to perfection and all tasted amazing. We didn’t think it can get any better… until our homemade desserts arrived. Oh My God! The Peach Layer cake, Mascarpone pie, and the Chocolate Tart with homemade gelato… Grand Slam Home Run!

    Gardel's used to be our favorite restaurant years and years ago. We moved, so we hadn't been there since the change in ownership 20+ years ago. So we went for the prix fixe Mother's Day dinner. It's a different ambience from the old Gardel's (a little more chi-chi, the service more formal), but the food was excellent (although a few items were a little too salty for our taste). Several of us had the Prime Rib Cap - a cut from the end of the rib eye we had never had before - and it was tasty and tender, a cut we are going to look out for in the future. All in all, a lovely evening, though be prepared for $$$$.

    Food was good but not great. But TOTALLY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET! ambiance was horrible! Felt like a Jack in the box ambiance with a Masteros price tag. I'm still feeling disgusted over the $300 I spent on this place.

    This is the place for entrana! It was cooked perfectly. We also loved the empanadas. The service was good but they didn't bring us 1 of the appetizers ordered which was disappointing. Great wine list if you are a wine drinker.

    Everything was really good for the most! The patio is so-so. Way too much light, not a romantic environment at all. Way better for business thing or with friends I would say. Would have preferred to sit inside. Not sure about the bread they offer at the start, it's a bit mediocre considering the price you will pay for everything else. Maybe some freshly baked Pebete or some Chipa. That said the Chimichurri is lovely. They are very generous with that. We had the Hongos Rellenos which is the mushroom stuff starter - if you love the straightforward taste of mushroom then this might be your thing but the flavors are just that. Not complicated or busting with different notes. Just a very traditional home style version I would say. Also had the Burrata, but the one on special. It was okay. I've had way better at many other places. As per most reviews and from the direction of the server we went for the Ribeye and the Prime skirt. Good options. Solid. Really good. Loved it. For sides we had Papas Fritas Provenzal which was insane. Seriously good. I'll go back just for that. This is a vampire protector. Trust me you will be safe after this. Don't worry about any bits in the neck. And a generous portion! We also had Verdes (Asparagus) which was nice. Good. Decent. Good portion. Apart from the hair in our salt everything was great. I will definitely come back but my focus will be more on the get in and get out side of things. Keeping it simple while chilling with friends. Meat and fries and a good bottle of wine. Disfruta la vida!!

    Returning to The Gardel tonight was to pick up where we left off with an old friend. The only thing that has changed was we’ve all just aged a little bit. Gerard and his staff are as personable as ever, the service is outstanding, surpassed only by the food, which was delicious all the way around. While this establishment is not inexpensive, you always leave feeling that you received value in excess of what was paid, separate and apart from the overall pleasure of dining there. Go and enjoy!
