Cute lil place to eat

by Gaby

I liked this place. The food was good and so was the service, everyone was really nice. The steaks were really good. The only thing was that the place was pretty small.

• Pros: The Food
• Cons: A bit small

HK gem

by jenlen

The steaks are to die for, the service is attentive and friendly, and we loved the wine list.

Definitely a Hell's Kitchen gem in the rough.

By the way, they are now at 609 9th Ave, across the road from their former location.

• Pros: Great service, amazing steaks.
• Cons: None that we have found.

Not as good as the reviews say

by inagaddadavida_loca

Sure, opinions are subjective when it comes to restaurants. I'm sure to the average American clod, this joint would be impressed by this place, but don't for a moment begin to think this is an authentic Argentinean place. NYers are being fooled it is. The food was good, but Argentineans would laugh their arses off at this place. Moral: If you want something different than the usual fare, by all means check it out. But if you want something authentic, then it's just a pretender - like all the others in the city. My biggest gripe? The chimichurri sucked!

• Pros: Empanadas
• Cons: Chimichurri; staff not up to NY-specs

Wonderfull quiet place with great food.

by mohctep

Service was superb. Unrushed and attentive. Waitress looked and spoke like PHD student. Meats are great. Deserts are tasty. Prices are very reasonable.

Highly satisfied with food and atmosphere.

There were 4 of us and all had the same good things to say about food and service.

Stumbled upon this place completely by accident. What a great find. I love NY:)

• Pros: Food, Service, Deserts
• Cons: none

Better than Buenos Aires!

by doczibs

This is by far one of the greatest restaurants in the city. We eat here at least 2 times a month and have never been disappointed. The service is fantastic and the food is authentic and wonderful. The restaurant is charmingly cozy and allows for leisuely dining and unhurried conversation. Friends often join us to find out for themselves what is so great about "Chimi" and are always impressed.

• Pros: food, service, atmosphere

Bad Service, Bad Restaurant, Bad Value

by samjones2

I would like to start by saying I am a restaurant owner and have been in the business for 10 years. I have never seen service such as this and the attitude given when questioned. I realized that it wasn't just with the waiter but with management. I am a firm believer in appreciating the customer, this restaurant clearly didn't care about their attitude and knew the service was't their best but said it was acceptable because it was thier restaurant and they could run it how they wanted. Unfortunately for this Grill, they will have to realize that to stay in this business their attitude it going to have to change. I don't care where they are from and how they did it there, this simply won't cut it in NY. There are too many good restaurants in NY to waste your unappreciated time and money at this one.

• Pros: No Pros
• Cons: Attitude, Service, Out to take advantage

Always a Pleasure

by jaybob23

I've eaten here a few times with friends, and everyone always enjoys the perfectly cooked steaks, the wines, and the pleasant service. It's a bit cramped, but otherwise comfortable and even romantic.

why bother asking how I want my steak

by mjsharkey

I visited this restaurant a few weeks back and was disappointed with the food. The Calamari starters were served luke warm, however we were still looking forward to our steaks. I asked for my filet mignon medium rare, what I got was definitely more medium. One of my companions asked for his steak medium rare and got a very well cooked steak presented to him. For this kind of money I would expect that they would get the steaks right. Why bother asking how we want them done if you serve them anyway you want. I won't be returning

A Gem!!!

by harrietvane

This restaurant had been highly recommended to me by several friends (and strangers as I was examining their menu in the window one day). I was NOT disappointed. The manager actually negotiated for a party of two to vacate a larger table to accomodate my party of four! The food was unbelievably good, lovely presentation, gracious, attentive service. Yes it's pricy and not very big, but totally worth a visit. Even the non-beef eater in our party loved it!

• Pros: the food, the service, the wine

Great Old World Poststamp

by nycitikid

This place is a great find away from the usual nonsense of the Great City dining scene.... real staff, bustling interior, cosy interior. Meanwhile, the food is tops without pretension. If you can't take New York City attitude from the staff or cramped quarters, then get out of town. ;)
