Great food, authentic flavours and preparation, but not really authentic experience: parillas aren't fine-dining in Argentina (with a few exceptions), they're mostly low-key, family/community oriented places and generally much better value for money.

Food was excellent, service less so (very poor floor management - wrong orders came to our table, too few staff for the number of customers), but they're finding their feet.

I'll be going back, but more careful on the consumption level of excellent Malbec - blew the tab right out!

I ate here last night, thanks for the heads-up Claire. They're now serving a full menu, and the place was 3/4 full, on a Tuesday night. There's a few wrinkles to be ironed out FOH, but the staff are really trying to impress, and they were genuinely interested in what we thought of the meal.

The food was excellent. We thought portion sizes for the meat dishes are relatively small, given the cost (many $40+), but we were surprised that the total bill was just over $300 for the 4 of us. We had 4 sides, 3 meat dishes, and 3 desserts, plus about 6 wines. And you're right, the alfajores, the cookies - *drool*

We'll be back, and they welcome drinks at the bar, if you're just after an after work knock-off. Although, with the great smells wafting through the place, I challenge you to go there without eating.

I was just reading about this place on the Agenda and was hunting around for an idea of the menu, looks like an amazing dining experience though. Thank you for sharing, hopefully will get to pop by soon... :)

I love that they're doing a good skirt steak - it's such an underrated cut and pretty hard to find around Melbourne.

Glad that Melbourne's finally catching up with the Argentinian grill craze that's hit Sydney. Will give them a week or two to sort out their teething issues! :)

Oh wowsa's clearly I have to check this joint out! I've recently moved to Melbourne and while everything is still very exciting I have been blogging up a storm on my new site http://heyprettythings.blogspot.com.
Hopefully you get to check it, thanks chica.

Thanks for the news! Looking forward to trying this place. Because we are such dessert-nuts, can you tell us how many desserts were on the menu, so we can round up either a small or large group of friends? :P

Thanks again for your insight! :)
