Everything is very delicious, the prices are a little high, but it's fine to go from time to time... the only drawback is the ambient light, very dark.

Went there last night after reading good reviews. We were sadly disappointed.Things we liked:-We were seated right away-waitress came quickly to take our drink food order-beef empanadas were fantastic-Beef tongue was delicious-Meat mix plate: short ribs, flap loin and the potatoes were good.-Chocolate cake was goodWhat we didn't like:-Octopus was dry, chewy and over cooked.-Meat mix plate: sausages were dry and burnt on the outside. Bread on the plate was very hard.-After the dishes were brought to the table, service was nonexistent (waitress came one time after food was served). After we finished we waited a long time and finally had to flag down a person to have them remove dishes.-After guests came in and more tables were filled, it became REALLY loud. We could barely hear each otherOverall, We would give this place 3 stars. Although this is a very trendy restaurant, there are better Argentinian restaurants around.

I started with Ensalade de Palmito (heart of palm salad). Very balanced and light salad. I loved the delicate taste. Then Hueso Asado (bone marrow) was cooked right. Medium rare Hager stake was great. My most favorite is Alcachofa (charred artichoke). Amazing marination and taste. I will definitely come back.

Extremely solid place. I enjoy coming here for the empanadas, tons of veggies options, and spicy chimichurri.This is one of my go-to spots for when I need to plan a work dinner with varied tastes— there’s simple delicious food for folks with less adventurous palates, and flavorful interesting dishes for those who like trying new things.What keeps it from being 5-stars to me is off and on service. Sometimes I go and before I can ask to get the coffee I just ordered in decaf, the waiter has already run back to another table, for example. Another time, Dustin was extremely accessible and friendly as he helped our large group. So it depends!

Everything was delicious! The ribeye was excellent, especially with the chimichurri sauce that came with. The empanadas were nice too with a very lemony dipping sauce. The highlight were the churros that came with a dulce de leche and chocolate sauce. Incredible! We've been dreaming about the churros for weeks now. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Great for birthday dinners or date nights. It was a little loud but i was seated next to a large birthday table. The place has low lighting. Great service!

Sooooo good. My friends and I shared the ceviche, empanadas, pulpo, chicken skewers, steak, and papas. The chimichurri sauce that came with the steak was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and delicious. One friend thought the potatoes needed a dressing of sorts, but no one else felt that way. I will say that it's pretty dark in there, making it a tad difficult to see the menu. However, the food was really good, so having to break out the flashlight on your phone isn't a dealbreaker.

Very loud , loud , loud, loud place. Tables are next to each other and your elbow can touch your neighbour elbow. It's very dark in the dining room and too crowded.The food just ok nothing special. Howeber, our server was attentive to our requests and to details. The value is not great since the portions are small , so in order not to be hungry you must order more. You on potatoes for$9 sounds great bout what will you get?A paper pocket with 5-6 Yukon potatoes sticks in it and aioli on side . The smallest portion I have ever seem. Headache will accompany you after you finish your meal.

Great place and service , I loved their Tounge, prices are a bit on the high side but that's expected, as it is very nice place.

Normally I love this place, but the food just wasn't up to its normal standard. Hey, you can't win every time. So what was good: the food sounded good. What could be improved: it was a little boring taste-wise. Like I've had this before. Even the ceviche, which I had had before, was not as delicious this time around.

Love the ambiance here, everyone from the hostess to servers were amazing. We tried the ceviche de pescado, pan de queso, ojo de bife & bife de chorizo, it was delicious, highly recommend!

Wood fired grill is amazing! Good ribeye, the asado mixto should be better

If you're looking for a flavor blast with share-able plates in an elegant setting, lolinda's is your go to. I've never had a dish I didn't like, and I can honestly say I've had almost everything on their menu. I order about 1/3 of the menu each time I come. You can never go wrong with their ensalada de palmito, ceviche, pulpo, empanada de carne, chuleto and shishito peppers. And that's just to start ?

Our server was excellent and willing to remedy some glitches we experienced with the expediting & table bussing staff. Food was also excellent. Good cocktails. A bit too dark in there for my liking.

My boyfriend took me here for Valentine's day and we enjoyed our time. Our server Nefris was very kind and attentive, being that he was able to swap out our drink for another with no hesitation made us feel very well taken care of. We ordered the Ceviche de Pescado which was sooo good and it had so much lime juice it was so delicious. They made their own twist to a tostada with fried corn which was so tasty!! We ordered the (Cholgas) mussels that could have used a bit more seasoning but if you like your mussels in only wine sauce then order this appetizer! For our entree we ordered the 2 person Ribeye that was extremely flavorful and tender. This place is definitely for a fancier night out or date night but it was worth it!!
