Location: Situated near the Bellevue Square shopping center and downtown Bellevue in Bellevue, Washington. Very convenient.
Cuisine: Genuine Argentine steakhouse. Known for high quality beef from grass-fed Argentine cattle. Also has other specialty cuts, seafood dishes, salads, empanadas and so forth.
Atmosphere: Actually it’s a little bit elegant; a relaxed steakhouse with dark wooden furniture and soft lights around. Can be calm enough to talk though can be loud when full of customers. Friendly waitresses/obliging employees.
Food: Steaks are what they do best – absolutely perfectly cooked cuts that are very tasty. It is well grilled on the outside and tender inside them only Seafood dishes like salmon are also prepared well while salads taste fresh
Service: Professional and caring. Waiters who know what they are doing will advise regarding cuts as well as matching sides. They have good options of wine by bottle/glass
Value: Expensive for some upscale steakhouses within this area. But large portions make a difference so you won’t leave empty handed when it comes to food quality same goes here
Overall: A place where many people go during special occasions as well as an old-favorite steakhouse of Bellevue residents for years and years. Consistently offering authentic Argentine delicacies in a beautiful setting is all this place does right Steaks take center stage here too The service makes dining even more enjoyable This is undoubtedly one of your finest dining choices on any celebration occasion
