The downside to dining outside on the "patio" is the portable pottie. This was a complete surprise! I wish they would warn you about it beforehand. Other than that, everything else was great.

This restaurant is amazing! The outdoor dining setup is a great addition to one of my favorite restaurants in LA!

The absolute best steak and service and ambience. Don’t miss their patio

Wonderful service , the food is excellent and is our favorite restaurant

Great candlelit atmosphere, that feels intimate and welcoming. Service was amazing and the food was incredible.

Always magnificent

Food was excellent and service was wonderful. Highly recommend!

stunning food and service...

Carlito's Gardel is a go to place for me. It is a treat so I don't go all the time. But, certainly not for nearly two years. It's just as good as I remember.
The Patio Piazzolla is a nice touch to afford dining opportunities and keep the lights on for a small business. It was a smart move and felt very intimate. The two tops have partions between then and the breeze from the slat walls made for a very comfortable environment.
We were greeted by Jennifer and after a temperature check, we were shown to our table.
The staff was very attentive and accommodating. We ordered the provolone for a starter, a salad each (Mixta and Veranae), and entrees of the ravioli and Filet Mignon. The meat was cooked expertly and the entire meal was lovely.
Dessert was the ricotta cake with dulce de leche and a surprise of some of the homemade ice cream.
A strong espresso to top it off and what you have is an overall lovely dining experience.
I'm glad to see that the restaurant has been able to maintain their signature flavors and ambiance while being able to pivot as needed in this ever changing landscape.
Jerard and Max and the entire staff are top notch.

The service was great. The chicken was ok but it needed more flavor or salt. There was a fly that kept flying around our food. The mashed potatoes were yummy and the asparagus too.

Anniversary

Excellent food and great experience. Feels good getting back to normal. Will definitely be back!

Outstanding service in their beautiful back patio. A wonderful post - covid world experience.

Very tasty and juicy steak. Mashed potatoes were great, empanadas were so good and dulce de leche delicious. The waiters were so attentive, professional and knowledgeable. Overall awesome experience :)

It’s a must when I come to Los Angeles; the best argentinian meat, lamb chops, Bife de chorizo, a 2006 Cabernet, just amazing!

I must say, they have this new terrace, post covid that’s so nice and well designed

The attention as always the best. Dulce de leche for dessert it’s the tradition

Great food and the service was quite attentive. The outdoor patio they built is very classy and comfortable. Covered and climate controllable. Thoughtfully built.
However, everything is pricey so watch out as it ticks up

Good quality but seriously overpriced

What a terrific dining experience!

First off, their outdoor patio is beautiful! the lighting and ambience is terrific.

We were a group of 6 and we were very satisfied with the amount of food ordered and the serving sizes.

Our waiter was awesome. He was very knowledgable and knew the wine menu basically by heart. He suggested we have a 2012 Malbec which was very fairly priced. The Malbec was perfect. Lighter than the usual Malbec but it paired very well with our dinner.

The spicy chimichurri was phenomenal. we got two rounds of it!

Appetizers:
1. prosciutto burrata - has 3 servings. very light. the burrata was fresh. the prosciutto was not heavily salty. I actually added more salt to mine.
2. ricotta spinach gnocchi- so good. has the texture of gnocchi WITHOUT the potato so it actually was very light but satisfying at the same time.

Salad - we chose something simple with mushrooms in it. Also Very light. not heavily flavored. I liked that I can still taste the salad more than dressing.

Entrees:
1. Brnazino - delicious! MUST ORDER if you like seafood
2. Bone in Rib eye- cooked medium. it was a thick piece. the perfect amount of fat. very delicious and perfectly seared. the waiter graciously provided doggy bags so I could take the bone with some meat on it home for my dog.

We will definitely be coming back!

A very pleasant experience at Carlitos Gardel. Food was perfectly prepared. Excellent wine choices. Service was exquisite.

Best Sweetbreads!! Service here is always great, too. Steaks were great to but both of them were under cooked( came out rare) this time. It was so hard to cut them. We asked one them to cook more but still came out under cooked , so we took them home . ( still tasty on next day!). I’ll stick with Parrillada Argentina next time :)

Everything was exceptional as usual with Carlitos!!! Family owned and operated with love and pride. Beat meals and exceptional wines!

I took my wife here for her birthday. We had the branzini. Everything was perfect!

Delicious but we politely declined as we were hungry. For the cost I think they should've offered a complimentary dessert or something.

Really amazing food, great ambiance, and good service. Would love to come back on my next visit to LA

Amazing steaks and flavors, and an ambience that transported us out of our daily lives in Los Angeles.

The food is excellent. The ambiance is charming. The service is top notch. There is really nothing about the experience at this restaurant that is negative.

Always amazing food, service and wines. Thanks again for making our evening a special night.

Sat outside in a tent, service was pretty bad for how nice and expensive the place is. Charge you for water??? How you gonna charge for water. Overall
Not the best experience for that fine of dining

Food was pretty good but over-priced. Ambiance is also very minimal since they only have a small patio in the back.

5 Star all the way! From Jose accomodating us, to our server whose name Im blanking on because I was so struck by the welcome, engagement and pride he displayed to us (disculpame hermano por no recordar tu nombre). He made us feel that we were his single priority despite having a full restaurant while not being annoyingly overbearing. He is a class act. And the food well. The buck stops here for any Argentinian steakhouse. We had Strip steak, Cap steak and Filet and the Spinach Ricotta Gnocchi which was perfectionately light with flavors that carressed your pallat. The Fennnel salad was the perfect complement to our fine cuts giving u a little tang with a touch of sweet to bring out the richness of the Filet, the earthy char of the skirt steak and the buttery rich perfection of the Cap steak.
Argentinean wines were on point enhancing the experience to heaven. Desserts were beutifully crafted, Riccotta pie beats any NYC Italian spot barnone. I dont ever write reviews but this place deserves a visit from Michelin or James Beard. Carlos Gardel defined a genre in music and this Gardel defines their own standard for others to follow. Best wishes.

What a wonderful experience! We had a truly elegant dining experience and the food was impeccable. The outdoor dining is beautifully done and each table is set up in it's own area with a divider, ensuring an extra level of privacy not often found in an open dining situation.

The service was wonderful and the portions were generous. We will definitely be going back.

Loved our server and the food was amazing!!

Order your favorite wines, meats, sausages, salad and fries or ask the owners to for recommendations! Best dulce de leche ice cream!!

Absolute perfection, every time.

A neighborhood gem!! Amazing service and food!!

Excellent food. Steak cooked to perfection. Garlic fries and creamed
spinach were good sides. Exhaustive
wine list

Great food. Ambience and the wonderful care of the owners

Best skirt steak in Los Angeles by far. Such a great staff and always a welcoming vibe at this place.

Skirt steak was amazing, my husband had the chicken with eggplant was also delicious..thanks for making our 40th anniversary dinner GREAT…

We had the bone-in ribeye steak for two and it was the juiciest, tastiest steak I have had for a long time. They also have good selection of appetizers and an excellent selection of wine from Argentina, France and California.
