Patrick Cameron
Great steak. I tried the NY Strip. It was delicious, prepared just as I asked. I tasted the flavor of the steak and enjoyed some of the edges steak that were blackened by the griĺling / oven process. My salad was also very good. The atmosphere and service are impressive. You can't go wrong here on date night or just hanging with friends.

My partner and I attended the NYE dinner (2nd seating) at the Artango Bar & Steakhouse.The live music was so loud I couldn't hear my partner who was right across from me. We asked to switch tables, somewhere more quiet. However, the new table we were seated in had a couple necking each other through out the whole night and music was still loud enough that my partner had to shout for me to hear anything. Even ordering food was quite taxing, we had to wave the waiting staff down a couple of times to get anyone to come to us. We ordered drinks first before ordering our starters, but the staff has forgotten our drinks, despite us reminding them 3x about it. They only served it after we started our desserts. We had to drink service water with our steak and Lamb. Crazy. Speaking of their food, the NYE course meal was part of their regular menu, nothing special. We could have easily gotten it for $80 on a regular day, but we paid $150 instead. Crazy prices, neglectful staff, loud music and food was alright but not worth $150. I would not recommend this establishment.

Vibes are great here, everyone is having a great time, staff are kind and knowledgeable (they all look great too 😅), bar is in the center of the dining room with a view of the stage as well. We were seated at a table quite next to the stage but music isn’t overly loud so we were still able to have a conversation. Our waiter was quite confident and knew even the extensive wine menu like the back of his hand, though he seemed a bit annoyed with the ordering process of our large group. Their cocktails are great and strong too! The shrimp ceviche was unusual but empanadas with chorizo were alright. I enjoyed the steak flight and the Argentinian wines I tried. The dulce de leche soufflé I got per our waiter’s suggestion though was to die for! Hats off to the pastry chef back in the kitchen, they have ruined me forever, I will now be comparing any soufflé I ever eat to that plate. Overall it’s a great place for a date night or something.

Very attentive service. Delicious food and drinks. The steak was perfectly cooked. The chicken was very juice yet crispy and flavorful

I have been to many Argentinian Restaurants and this is so far the best one. Food is so tasty, wine was amazing and services is fine. Rest room is very clean and the restaurant is very big. Definitely coming back and highly recommended!

To be an authentic Argentinian restaurant in my opinion should be better. The severs took almost 30 min to get our order.The only thing I liked was the empanadas. However the atmosphere on Fridays are really nice.

We came here for the first time for my son's birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. Everything from start to finish was delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked and so tender, the Argentinian sausages were delicious. The empanadas were extremely small, maybe 2" long, but were wonderful, we wanted more, I wish they sold regular sized empanadas, the chimichurri was delicious and the perfect accompaniment to everything..the flan and churros, which by the way came out piping hot and light and crispy were the perfect ending to my son's birthday dinner. The only complaint I had was, today was almost 90 degrees and there is no air conditioning. I think we'll be back in the fall or winter, when it will be be more comfortable, while enjoying our dinner, they also didn't charge us for my son's flan for his Birthday..which was greatly appreciated, we can't wait to come back.
