   Ordered the platter for 3-4 the strip and filet were fine but certainly not very tender but the other cuts were so blackened that almost could not cut through them. All in all a pretty mediocre experience

   We came for the set thanksgiving day menu - two of the three steak choices were sold out (leaving the third, salmon, ravioli, or turkey - only the third steak was comparable in effort or price point). The live Latin jazz, although advertised, ended as our reservation began and no other act came on stage.

   Very nice restaurant and the service was excellent but slightly slow-paced. It's part of the dine-in experience and the lack of rush was nice. The dishes are well done and unique. The bar was able to make a particular drink my wife liked so they can deal with custom service.

    Unfortunately, we were not really that impressed as this was our second time coming to Artango after being a little disappointed with our first experience but wanted to give it a second try just in case it was a one-off. My Dad was having the 2-month anniversary of my Mom's death and I wanted to do something nice for him to cheer him up. The first time we went, they said we could have a Flamenco dancer and show so we were very excited. When we showed up, the restaurant was half full and the stage side was dark so we only had a duo playing set up on the other side of the bar. This time, I called AHEAD of time to make sure there would be a Flamenco dancer (female) like the one that you show online at your site. They assured me that there would be one. Well, that did not happen and we only had the person who was the instrumentalist (percussion) stand up once and do a 5 min dance. It also said that the show and music wer from 8pm-11pm online. They stopped at 10pm and put on background music. What? I thought the reason we paid more for the food prices was because of the Flamenco Show and the great music for 3 hours. Not 2 hours of music and then one 5 minute Flamenco dance. I'm sorry but this is very deceiving as an owner of a company and seems not to be transparent or honest at all. If you go online there is even a video of a lovely woman dancing Flamenco. We didn't get anything near that???? The food was great, even though they brought our appetizer after we finished our meal but I could even deal with that. But not having the proper dancer there was unacceptable for me. Also, the lack of the full 3 hours as listed online. It's ok to have only 2 hours if it's billed that way but not when you're promised 3 hours. The same thing with the dancer. If it's the percussionist for 5 min fine but don't show an amazing video of a female dancer for a nice long show and then deliver 5 min. Anyway, it's unfortunate as we really liked the place.

    We’ve visited a handful of times and always loved the food and experience. This last go around fell short, unfortunately. The temperature of our steaks were wrong, the service was severely slow (20 minutes sitting waiting for our check) and I requested to sit near the stage when making my reservation because this visit was to celebrate my husband’s birthday. They sat us all the way in the back at the last table where we could barely see the stage, which was disappointing considering they had a table near the stage empty and sat another couple there after us. Every experience I had there for sure was 5 stars, this last time was a 3 at best. I’m hoping this was a 1 time thing, but it’s unfortunate since we were celebrating a special occasion.

    Went on a Thursday night, good space, missed opportunity with entertainment and music. Should be playing Argentinian music, tango, French style, etc. For the price should have live entertainment with guitars or dancers. Lighting was too bright and use of harsh led lights needs more muted incandescent warm lighting if not a darker romantic mood. Food was delicious but overcharged for the $80 tasting menu, items were rung separately and added up to $12 more to the bill instead of charging a flat $80 plus two drinks we had. Didn't have time to dispute the bill since we were in a rush to leave to a show, only had 1 hour to dine and had to take dessert to go. Only got one flan too, not sure if it was supposed to be 2 or if it was to share. Not in a rush to return as it is priced as fine dining but doesn't feel like a fine dining spot due to the location and ambience of restaurant. The food was great but pricing is off again for the reasons above. Popular, it was busy with 2 servers and one busses, perhaps if better staffed the service could be a little speedier for those I a bit of a rush like we were that night.

    We went on a Sunday and it was pretty empty. There is a stage, so guessing the weekend nights are likely festive? We were there to celebrate a birthday and unfortunately they mixed up our food order and brought things out out of order so we could not enjoy meal together. Thinking it was an off night, as they even brought the dessert out "Oblivion" that I was dying to try & had mentioned to server upon arriving, without the gelato. He seemed to be confused as to our expectation when the menu clearly describes the molten cake with the sea salt GELATO...

    Would have given Artango an overall 5 stars for the tremendous, tender, tasty, and perfectly cooked steak flight, the empanadas, and the wonderful show that began at 8pm. BUT our entire experience was marred by our waiter who rushed us to order from the moment we sat down and then throughout our dinner (and never smiled), and by the busboys who were constantly trying to take our plates and drinks away before we were done. Artango, I realize you want to turn your tables but diners like to talk to each other and enjoy the experience. Let them!

    Go for the live music and drinks, that’s it. Food is subpar, salty, pricey and takes forever to arrive. I’m happy to pay for good food and service but was incredibly disappointed with both tonight. We ordered the provoleta which was burnt but we were told that’s how it’s supposed to be. Hahaha, they served it with a spoon so one would assume you can spoon it out; however, not even the knife worked. Burnt, that’s what it was. We ordered a side of mashed potatoes that NEVER arrived. We ordered short ribs that was all bone and hardly any meat. We also ordered the halibut special which smelled. Fish should not smell which leads us to believe it wasn’t fresh!! I was so looking forward to a lovely meal but left knowing we would never return nor will we recommend this place. Ugh, lesson learned.

    Great restaurant experience overall. Live music was the huge reason to attend. There was duo of musicians, absolutely brilliant violinist Alex Koffman and Alex Babyi - singer and percussionist. There were many Frank Sinatra songs, beautifully performed among many others. Great food and ambiance. Somewhat pricey, but great experience made it worth coming.

    Food is always good BUT …. They said they couldn’t find my confirmed reservation and then once seated, took over an hour to receive our empanada appetizers and it was so loud it’s impossible to speak to your dining partner. If you go in with the correct expectations you will enjoy your evening.

    It was a nice, cozy/romantic spot. Service was fine. Food was good. For the price, I thought the food would be a little better/the portions would be a little bigger. It’s been on our list for a while and glad we went, but don’t really see myself going back. We had 2 empanadas, the steak flight para compartir, the paella, and a couple of drinks.

    This was my first time coming here. Beautiful restaurant and wonderful service from our waiter although I didn’t catch his name. This experience would’ve been 5 stars if the chefs weren’t having an off day. Empanadas were cold, and entree took a very long time to come out despite not being a very busy evening. Side dishes were delicious (mashed potatoes, kale & mushrooms,) but my chicken was very undercooked. It was raw in the middle. Our waiter promptly took it back, but I was ready to go home by then. Overall, I think there was a lot of potential here, but the kitchen had a bad day. I hope that this is not a common occurrence. I’m not sure I’ll give them another chance.

    The TLDR version: This gets 2 stars because the food was merely OK (a couple dishes were good, at least one really bad, and the others, they were fine), the drinks were OK (if you can get one), the service was inexcusably bad, and all of it was very expensive. Longer version. I am starting with service. My one word description of Artango is "indifference." It is my opinion the the owner must not care about service. The place is full, so who cares about service? At the one hour, forty-five minute mark of us being there, I had been served one drink (the first one took twenty minutes to show up and I had, at that point, ordered the second one twice) and one empanada. It was so bad that, at that time, we tried to cancel the rest of our dinner, so we could go somewhere to eat and drink. Understand, I love nice leisurely dinners with drinks and food and I do not want to be rushed. But, that assumes I can actually receive drinks and food. When we tried to discuss the issues with someone in charge, we got indifference. They did comp us one of our drinks, but with the price of that drink and the third one that I probably would have had, they could have hired another bartender for a couple hours and had better service for the entire place. However, I truly believe they do not care; they are full. The food: Starting with the good: my Rib Eye was excellent and my wife's Ahi-Tuna Ceviche was, she said, very good. The bad: my wife's grilled prawns were pathetic; either frozen or WAY over-cooked. The "Fine, I have had worse" was everything else. The aforementioned empanada, the chorizo, and fried potatoes were the same quality I have had in a lot of places, no better no worse. Passable? Sure, but nothing near special. Again, I ENJOY a nice long night out But, this place, for the meh quality of the food, the exceptionally poor service, and the indifference just isn't worth the price. If you go here, bring a snack to eat while you wait for your food.

    Overall we had a great time. Our server was fantastic, but the food took forever to come out, and then when it did, both steaks were well done. ( we ordered Medium Rare to Medium based on our servers advice). They cooked us new ones and they came out perfect and were delicious. Server comped us some apps and took some $$ off the bill. Overall we enjoyed it.

    Ordered a flight of steaks medium rare. One came well done. Ordered two cocktails one for my date and the other for myself. They tried to charge me for several more so an extra $70+. I usually don’t check the bill. I am glad I did this time. That was sketchy.
