Experience Buenos Aires’ Golden Age at Artango Bar and Steakhouse, where the rich cultural heritage of Argentina comes alive. Set amidst a tableau of Art Nouveau and Neo-classical architecture and décor are the exciting tastes, lively music and dancing of Argentina.An evening at Artango feels as if you’ve traveled to Buenos Aires, and guests have the opportunity to enjoy authentic imported Grass-Fed Argentinian steaks. Selection of 120 day wet-aged, grass-fed black angus beef cuts are grilled on an Argentinian parrilla at a slightly lower temperature and for a longer period of time – similar to the Patagonian method of barbecuing crafted by Buenos Aires-born celebrity chef, Francis Mallmann. Argentine cuts are lean, tender and full of flavor.Pair your meal with Prohibition-era cocktails and both classic and rare European and Argentine wines. Dining at Artango is a memorable journey to Argentina.

    Overall the food here is amazing. I love the ceviche and the steak is the best I’ve had in a while. Service was a little shaky. One of our empanadas was ice cold , so we sent it back. Then it took several reminders to get the replacement—almost 20 minutes. The food is really, really good though, so if you can overlook some service issues, it’s worth it.

    We went there for Brunch to celebrate a birthday. They had a customized menu already printed for our table with a personalized birthday greeting. The dessert plate had a chocolate handwritten personalized Happy Birthday. It was such a nice surprising gesture! Staff was very kind and friendly. Liz was our server. We payed $59 pp for a three-course menu and this was great value for the curated food and drinks (beverage are separated). Ambience was great. I highly recommend the North Pond Restaurant, specially if celebrating any occasion. Thank you for a great culinary experience!
