Disappointed at the quality of the food considering my expectations were so high from all the 5-star reviews in google maps. Nothing was memorable but the aspargus. The meat wasn’t particularly tender or flavorful, the morcilla wasn’t specially spiced nor had a special texture, and the empanada felt heavy on the stomach. Staff was really great though and the space is really nice. The food wasn’t worth the price tag and drive in my opinion.

In a city full of big name and high profile steakhouses, this one is the BEST. I've been multiple times but am highlighting last night's food selections. Starters included pork belly empanadas, a burrata dish with imported heirloom tomatoes and finally, scallops resting in some sort of creamy sauce made and sent from heaven. We ordered three cuts of steak for our party of five to share: 2.5 lbs of ribeye cap, a New York strip and a skirt steak. All cooked and seasoned perfectly. Sides included sautéed spinach, creamed corn and fries. Accompanied by multiple red Argentine wines, selected by their expert.The service is exceptional, as is the food. For passionate meat eaters, it's simply perfection.

If you're in the mood for an Argentinian food or just a cozy DELICIOUS food/steak/real good food then visit this place. Our waiter Carter was exceptional. The owner and his son are on deck and willing to help in any way possible. They greeted us open arms as if we knew them forever. Love this place our first time but not the last. Many more to come.

Very nice, small, business casual place but the quality of the food was amazing! The chef would come out himself tl greet the guests, take orders & explain the menu. Service was outstanding & this is definitely a hidden gem !

Excellent choice for this special occasion dinner. The food is always delicious and on point. The service was outstanding. Beautiful table with a view of the street through the large front windows. Recommend going on the earlier side as it is quieter than when the restaurant fills out. Noise level gets very loud and it is less enjoyable. Overall I would highly recommend and we will go again, and again.

We had the gambas, the Entrana steak, the fries, the Churrasco steak, and the penne bolognese. Everything was excellent. The steaks were cooked to perfection - medium (Entrana) and medium rare (Churrasco). Wine selection was great too. Service and staff was attentive and knowledgeable. It's a little pricey but this is a great spot for quality food/service for a special occasion.

We always enjoy coming to one of our favorite places. Almost always order the excellent meat, but the other choices also look great and soon will break my habit and try some of the other treats!

This place never disappoints. Everything was delicious. We had the scallops in a a leek beurre blanc, the heirloom tomato and burrata salad with prosciutto, and the spinach and ricottta gnocchi for appetizers, and all were A+. Two of us had their lamb rack chops, medium rare with a char on the outside, and it's hard not to get these every time I come here. The ribeye steak with a Malbec and portobello reduction was reportedly very good, though the person who ordered it wasn't sharing:). Carter our waiter provided excellent service. We're already planning our next visit.

This place is definitely worth every penny! From the service ,to the food , everything was so perfect and we couldn't be happier ? we had dinner reservations, and we didn't know where to park, since they don't have parking, we walked in real quick to ask , and they do valet parking, while they were sitting us at our dinner table , they had taken our car to a parking lot. The steaks here are sooo delicious, we also tried the flan which was so good. We also wanted to be "adventurous" and try the blood sausage, which was different, but my boyfriend seemed to love and even wanted more ?I highly recommend this place to everyone! You won't be disappointed

The service at Carlitos Gardel was excellent. The food was amazing. Top quality rib eye steak. Great place to enjoy a quiet dinner.

Amazing food and service! Made the night special. Fair warning though they are super expensive. Our meal was $300 for two, with no alcohol ordered, and still water (1 big bottle between us) was $12. Came for an early Valentine's Day. We did street parking but there was a valet up front. Service was really great and attentive, and they guided us and gave us recommendations. They were thoughtful about when to bring out certain dishes to complement each other. It did start to get busy as more people came in. People mostly come to share food. There's small tables for groups up to about 6. Food (* = must order!) - bread and chimichurri - yummy! - Caesar salad - split between 2 people was plenty. Each wedge had a piece of anchovies in it. Good - * champiñones rellenos - so good!! The truffle butter cream was rich and delicious. We enjoyed dipping our bread in - creamed corn - it was bigger than I thought it would be. Tasted okay and we were honestly getting too full - * papas fritas provenzal - they said these fries put them on the map. They were really good! And it was a huge plate for 2 people - * tapa de ojo/ ribeye cap (12 oz) - they said it was exclusive to their restaurant. It was yummy! - * entraña/ skirt steak (8 oz) - this was our favorite! It was just a bit too much food for 2 people. We packed most of the creamed corn and fries to go but finished the rest. A great experience overall!
