This restaurant was spectacular! We had the 18 course (!) tasting menu with wine pairings. It was very expensive but worth every penny.
The food was exquisite: creative, beautiful, and delicious. After a few days in steak obsessed BA, it was nice to have a menu more tilted toward fish and vegetables.
The setting was beautiful; modern but austere, very understated. Every table seemed to have a great view of the kitchen and the chefs meticulously assembling the next course.
The service was also perfect. Friendly, attentive, accommodating, but relaxed and not at all pretentious. My wife's stomach was feeling a bit uneven after several days of rich porteño cooking and was unable to finish one of the courses. The chef came over and asked if everything was alright and whether she would prefer something different. It was a touching and sincere gesture.
The wine pairings were also inspired. The selections were weighted towards white and orange wines, appropriate to the sea food oriented menu. In the USA, we tend to only see mass market, bargain priced Argentine wines, mainly Malbec. In reality, Argentina produces some fantastic white and sparkling wines. They are not cheap, but I think the locals tend to snap up all the production from these boutique wine makers.
After the final savory course, we were upstairs to an intimate room with comfortable tables and seating. There we were served several dessert courses (with wine pairings.) Coffee, tea, and cordials were on offer, but we were completely sated.
This was one of, it not the finest dining experiences I have had in my 67 years. The chef richly deserves his two Michelin stars, and the wonderful supporting cast of chefs and waitstaff were all eager, professional and seemed to be enjoying their work. If you can afford it, go!
