Extremely disappointing and uneatable meat given the main selling proposition is Argentinian meat, yet this was actually the terrible part.
We had the mixed platter that included filet, rib eye, rump steak and sirloin, each one of them was hard to chew as the fibers of the meat were not tender, similar to those from an old animal or cheap quality.
Not only the meat cuts with dry fibers were hard to chew, but also full of chunks of hard nerves and fat that I had to spit and roll in the tissues.
Moreover, as I was chewing one piece of meat, I discovered a very tiny yet very hard white translucent spine…
The steak platter cost a hefty £56 given the bad quality, definitely a ripoff. As a comparison, Macellaio restaurants have fantastic fresh quality cuts and perfect cooking at similar pricing.
The chimichurri sauce was the other horrendous experience that made me nearly throw up at the first taste as it was overflowing with nauseating oil that had literally burnt my esophagus and persisted in my throat with reflux for hours thereafter.
The sauce was obviously not fresh and dubiously homemade, but rather alike to a pre-prepared powder-like dried mix that some kitchens buy and finalize by dripping it in oil…
This is really a shame as we were expecting an Argentinian meat feast with a striking full body Malbec at a beautiful venue with garden and veranda, wines have been of good quality yet not overpriced, and starters/sides very good as well.
I do not however recommend in a million as the meat should be their unique value proposition, so such poor quality is not acceptable, especially given the premium prices to be paid for an appalling meat quality - dreadful meat experience.
Burnt money. Needless to say, we will never return unless they undertake a radical transformation of quality of their food supplies, quality of the chefs’ brigade, and managerial style and mindset.
