We saw several open tables, no line, and no waiter came after 15 min. We told the door person this and his response was “Well you can leave if you want” It was as if he wanted everyone to leave, not come in. The level of rudeness was truly remarkable, go somewhere else please!

Although we arrived at 6:30pm we still had an over an 75 mins to wait, we tried to book, but weren't accepted, although other parties, smaller than our four, did seem to walk straigh in. What we didn’t know, until we sat down, is that the restaurant doesn’t have a liquor license so it is bring your own. Fortunately, the next door café does a great sideline in off sales of wine and beer at a very reasonable price. The food is Argentinian, and that equates to steak. Be warned that rare is exactly what is says, slightly warm and very rare. The food was fine, not wowable, and I suspect that because was served in almost total darkness – just one candle illuminating the table – meant we couldn’t really see clearly what culinary delight was being served.

The EL FILET used to have 2 medium size filet mignon, enough to share with the husband. Now you have the option of 1 filet for $36 or 2 filet for $45. So the cost has almost doubled for their previous portions. Also, they charge an additional $10 if you split a dish, even if it is a salad. So the prices now are almost comparable to other restaurants. Food however is as DELICIOUS as ever. Given that it’s BYOB with no corkage, I would still return to this place if I was in the neighborhood but wouldn’t go out of my way to go here just for what used to be a great deal for a meal.

Service was brisk, prices a little on the high side. Have been to better Argentine restaurants around the world, but this one is just OK.
