"Love this place! The environment is great for people who want to have a great time, enjoy music, and NOT concern about young crazy kids getting into drunk fights! Not that there are no younger folks, just people who aren't looking for trouble. Last night we had empanadas, which were amazing! They were golden and perfectly cooked. Crispy outside, meaty and soft center, great seasoning, and very good portions! Not on the small side at all. The green salad has an amazing balsamic dressing. It's a bit on the sweet side, but a very nice contrast to the freshly grated parmesan cheese they give which is conveniently on the side for those who prefer not to have it. The dinner ordered was flank steak, medium well. Excellent portion, worth the price! This part was a bit inconsistent as my husband's was perfection! Buttery soft meat, just under with salt (as is the norm for restaurants), perfect amout of herbs. The second was a bit tougher but not much. Slightly over cooked, and the bottom had a bit of charred crispy surface on one end. Normally this wouldn't be bad on a cut of steak, but not what I expect on a churrasco. Just an oops this time I guess. The chimi sauce for the meat was okay. Rice and beans were standard for restaurant. Next time I would love to try the seafood dishes as they smell exceptional when those platters pass by! On previous visits I've had tostones, wings, and calamari all perfectly cooked. Never had a cocktail. The bottles here are also priced quite nicely in comparison to other bar/lounges. The DJ is also very good! They have a bit of dancing space as well if you are the type to get down. Def recommend going here!"
