I’ll start off with a positive, and possibly, the only positive.A very cosy restaurant in a cosy setting.Service - PoorThe server wasn’t exactly unfriendly, but he wasn’t very welcoming either.We made a reservation and upon entering the restaurant, the server saw us, but did not acknowledge us.Made us stand there for about 5 minutes, at which point, 2 other gentlemen walked in.Finally, when he did come over, he went straight to the other gentlemen first.No biggie, but not a good start.Bear in mind this is a cosy restaurant and the tables are quite close together. There are around 10-11 tables, with only 4 being occupied.When we went to take our seats, being 3 stocky lads, we sat on a table which didn’t have any diners on either side.But the waiter then said this wasn’t our table and sat us, bunched up next to another couple.We had no issues with this and swiftly moved as we believed it may have been reserved, but throughout the night, that table remained empty and we were dinning from 8:30-9:50pm, 10minutes before closing. So really not sure why we were made to move.There was only 1 server, not sure if this is the norm but service was very slow, even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy.Server missed out one of our starters, and also one of our sauces.Food - TerribleWe wanted to try an Argentinian Steak House and this had glowing reviews, so was expecting a super juicy steak.This is definitely NOT what we got!We ordered 1 meat sampler for 2, and a 350g sirloin steak, all to be cooked medium.What we actually got was, not just well done, but steak that was burnt.It definitely did not look like a 350g sirloin… the 220g steak I get from Tesco looks bigger than this… ALTHOUGH I accept that it possibly could of shrunk since it was burnt to an inch of it’s life.The chorizo was pretty good, but the bread again was burnt and rock hard.The chips were oily and did not taste freshly fried.The pastry for the beef empanadas were piping hot, but the filling inside was lukewarm.Initially, we wanted dessert, but after the steak, we just wanted out.

The steak was truly amazing the same with the service. However, the chips that we ordered was not good. They were pale and soft, like they should have had a few more minutes in the fryer. That was really a shame. I know people visit the place for the steak, but the side dishes are equally important, especially when you have to pay extra for them.

Small cozy restaurant. Went for a date with my husband. Reasonable price. We got the platter, and chorizo sausage. It was all lovely, one of the steaks was much nicer than the others. If you like medium rare, ask medium as they come medium rare.

Amazing! Honestly, the service we received for Shai was brilliant! He talked to us about what to order and the food was tasty, cooked to perfection and very well presented! We where full and yet he still managed to sell us dessert! Brilliant evening! The place is small but it's buzzing! Excellent!

This place simply has it all. I've enjoyed one of the finest cuts of ribeye I've ever had, made to absolute perfection, and paired with an unbelievably good, yet reasonably priced malbec. The team is truly lovely, and I'd from now on order anything on their recommendation in an eyeblink. A gem, not to be missed.

Without a doubt one of the best steaks me and my partner have eaten. The staff were friendly, steak was beautifully cooked (medium rare) and charred on the outside to perfection. The cheesecake was surprisingly light and I couldn't have asked for a more intimate and flavourful dining experience.

Love love love this restaurant. I’ve visited twice now and both times have been immaculate. Steak is always cooked to perfection and it truly does melt in your mouth. Their desserts are really good too!!The waiters are lovely and tend to your needs without hesitation.I highly recommend reserving a place as it does get quite busy sometimes. :-)

Best steak restaurant I have ever had in London. The portions are big and the staff are quite friendly. We ate a special cut of Rib Eye and Milanese Napolitana. Very happy with the choices. Well worth it. Thanks Chamuyo
