About
An Argentine steakhouse across from the National Theater, with an upstairs balcony that's a fine perch over the street. The steaks are the headline, cut and cooked to order, and the milanesa, beef or chicken, with homemade fries is a hearty favorite. Add a good Tomahawk to share and excellent chimichurri. Staff are attentive and welcoming, even to solo diners.

The steak and the salad were outstanding! A great restaurant across from the Theater. We were lucky to get a table for 2 overlooking the street (ok, it is San Jose so the view is just interesting).
I loved this restaurant! On the early weekend evening I visited I was one of the only people there but the atmosphere was still great and the service outstanding! There’s a ground floor bar area with kitchen, but upstairs is a great dining area complete with ‘outdoor’ balcony seating which is a great spot to watch the world go by on the street below. The food menu is great, with a wide range of options from snack, sandwiches, traditional mains and full blown steaks. The same is true for the drinks, with something to suit everyone. The staff were able to give recommendations and throughout the meal they remained so attentive and friendly, making me feel welcome and not rushed, even as a solo diner. The classic milanesa has the option of beef or chicken, and with the homemade fries was a large and tasty main. The ice cold beer also went down a treat. With everything to admire in the decor, the service, sizeable and good value food and atmosphere, I’ll certainly return here next time I’m in the city and would highly recommend.
The atmosphere and service was exceptional. I ordered a filet mignon, medium and and it came out rare. Mashed potatoes coulda used more flavor. Besides that the food was decent.
