Asado

Not sure where to begin with this review. Location excellent & decor wise, it is stylish and cool. Our table was one in the centre which is never pleasant with so many patrons and wait staff constantly passing by. This is certainly not a venue you can hear yourself in. Our waitress talking at a million miles an hour in a heavy accent that none of us understood. Food that was brought out all over the place. 4 tapas arrived, 5th tapas shortly before main meal. 3 got their steaks-placed in the wrong order of medium/well done and 2 with the chicken that arrived a good 10 minutes after. The food is “fine dining priced”with bistro quality. I felt it was overpriced for the presentation and size. Steaks arrive pre cut plonked in an oblong dish-not a single garnish. Vegetables/salad and potatoes all a hefty price extra. The bread was delicious as was the chicken. The name should be changed to ASA-NO. Can we sit over there? -NO Can I have my steak rare-NO (we don’t do rare) Can I have this cocktail-NO (we’re out of rum) May we please have any other condiment other than chimichurri-NO What about a little bbq sauce or any other sauce-NO (I get it’s Argentinian, but give patrons a little variety) Is the steak gluten free-NO (bread is grilled on it) Is it possible to have this dessert with that hot fudge on the other dessert-NO. Cost for 5 people: $730 Will I be returning? NO

Honestly, the service & food was outstanding, well informed & polite. 🙌 To our Gluten Free dining partner: “Coeliac or Gluten Sensitive? Would you like us to treat you as if you were coeliac?”
