We went as a group of 8 for a mate's birthday dinner. Was instantly impressed by the decor and service. All the waiters were very friendly and professional.

Once we placed our orders, entree took about 30mins to come out. The mushroom and the smoked salmon were delicious. While everyone else ordered steak (rump, T-bone or scotch), I decided to try something different and picked the prawns - BIG MISTAKE!

Prawns were first out...about 45mins after the entrees were cleared. Some of the prawns were not cooked - still had that shiny grey slightly transparent texture that you see in raw prawns, not the nice light orange and white. I decided to try it anyway, in case I was just being picky, but when I cut into the meat near the head, all this browny green liquid squirted out from the prawn head. I love prawns and from my experiences of eating and cooking it, I believe that usually if the prawn is cooked properly, the liquid from the head (that I was told by the staff was 'brain') usually hardens so it shouldn't squirt out unless not cooked. I only had 3 prawns before I couldn't stomach anymore - by then feeling a bit ill. The stir-fried vegies and potatoes were the highlight of the main course for me - delicious! The waitress came over and asked politely if I enjoyed my meal - I explained that I didn't think the prawns were cooked. She took them back - apologising and came back later to tell me that the chef and the manager had tried the remaining prawns and agreed that they were not cooked enough. For my troubles, they only charged me for an entree size instead of for the main size - which was very nice of them considering I only ate what would have been entree size, if that.

Dessert was lovely although a little disappointing. The creme brulee was smooth and creamy as it should be but the flavour (normally a rich vanilla) was overpowered by a strong citrus taste. Maybe this is the Argentinian way of making creme brulee? Still nice but unexpectedly different (as there was nothing in the menu about the citrus component). Oh...and because I was still hungry, my friend offered me some of her steak - was moist, and tasty. So if you do decide to go to Buenos Aires, order their signature steak!   (Yum!-Raw prawn and prawn brains! - See my reviews (3) - August, 2009)

very friendly service from the moment we walked in. food was excellent and serving was huge. we could have fed 2 more people. very impressed with the meal coming out quickly considering the restaurant was full. book ahead as this place is always booked. we now know why it was so full.   (July, 2008)

I’ll certainly go back there to introduce my friend to this restaurant. The steak and prawns was great Awesome condiments! Love all the garlic!   (July, 2008)

The food was acceptable, without being an experience to remember. The lamb on the menu should be specified as lamb "chops" as we were expecting a back strap or similar. Pretty fatty and lacking actual meat.

The hostess and staff are lovely people, however when you are the only group in the restaurant, you don't need to be hearing her "cackling" everytime someone says something.

One of my guests from interstate got chili oil splashed on her top when the waiter picked up the used plates. The snapper cutlets whilst grilled were rather dry according to the guest that had them. A different experience overall.   (July, 2008)

Very good food, but poor service. Had to wait 30min for a bottle of wine and ask for the bill three times. Tables too close together.   (June, 2008)

Excellent. Brilliant food, attentive and impeccable service. One of the best dining experiences i have had the pleasure of having in Adelaide. Well worth a visit.   (JJ181 - April, 2008)

Great location, great staff, but not overly impressed with the food, had octopus to start...little tough for my likings, followed by the lamp chops, husband had a steak....even with the flavouring found the meat to be bland...spice it up a little - tasted like it was just thrown on the grill - no flavour enhancement at all!! At a certain price point, the minimum flavouring should be done for you with option to add the extra flavour at the table if required!! Fix this and this will be the best restaurant Adelaide has ever seen.   (bond - See my reviews (3) - April, 2008)

What a fantastic place to have the best steak and seafood in town. The flavours from the chargrill together with the chimichurri are out of this world. Fantastic range of wines also on offer. Thanks Norberto.   (Buenos Aires Brasserie - March, 2008)
