Porteno

Intimate spot with **amazing** food. Every ingredient of each dish was top notch in quality, the best olive oil and freshest vegetables, seafoods, and meats. I tried the grilled vegetables, calamari, and salmon salad, and all of it was amazing and fresh. Tried one of the Argentinian malbecs too and it was really well-rounded and delicious. The staff were also very friendly, warm, and helpful. I highly recommend this as a cute place for a date and an amazing dinner experience.

The service was very knowledgeable about Argentinian food specifically the dishes served at this restaurant. It helped to know what the specialties were, and how to narrow in on options on the menu, based on our desires. It seems like you can’t go wrong with anything you got, but I highly recommend getting any form of red meat.

You have to know what to get. The risotto was not it: way too watery. But the rest of the food was awesome! I took off a star for the atmosphere because it was heavily packed and not enough space for the number of tables and guests they have each night. But the prices are reasonable and with the quality of the food, I can't complain.

I really liked most of the food (first time trying Argentinian food) I feel the portions were a bit too small compared to regular portions which might be a cultural thing. She asked me if I liked (mantequita) fat because the plate I asked for had a little bit which I do love mantequita but that was a lot of fat on that short rib, my side dish was not of my liking either something made out of corn. On the other hand the empanadas, calamari, fish and vegetables were delicious. The desert (hot bread pudding to die for). Services was excellent they're very nice. The price was a little high we have paid higher for 2 people but that's when we each have a 24 or 18 ribeye or a tomahawk, lobster or somethingof the sort. They also included the tip in the bill and yet had a space on the receipt for extra tip 🤔 (optional of course). The place was very clean but very tight space (again that might be a Manhattan thing but it feels like everyone is eating together in a common room. Parking was a nightmare after 25 min of circling the block and many private parkings filled to capacity we paid $45 for a 90 min parking. I definitely would like to visit again because it seemed like there's other plates that looked very good or maybe try another Argentinian restaurant and compare. Overall it was a mostly positive experience and I'm glad we went.
