"I ordered t-bone steak with roasted vegetables in San Rafael but it's not the best beef I've had compared to my time in Buenos Aires where it's the best here It was a little bit chewy in parts not the usual quality I'm accustomed to but the staff were very good"

"The ribs my wife ordered where perfect, I was very disappointed with the burger, it was like eating cardboard and my chips arrived cold, for the price i paid for the burger it could at least have been made from a better grade of meat."
