| Comments: | Went here on a recent visit to KC. Made reservations three days in advance but was forced to wait half an hour for a table anyway. Directed to bar where staff aggressively tried to upsell me on yuppie vodka (they simply couldn't believe I'd prefer Stoli). Service was OK after that and steak was cooked to order and very flavorful -- I enjoyed the spicy rub they put on it. Water glass unfortunately included a gnat. Very good food and lovely view but long wait for table despite reservations is arrogant. I would not return if I lived in KC. |

| Comments: | I do believe that if there is anything negative to be said about this restaurant it would be that it might get a bit noisy on a Friday or Saturday night. You really cannot blame service staff, hostesses or management for a reservation that is held up, if a table is having a great time and does not get up in the 2 hours alotted per seating, the waiter cannot very well ask the table to leave, can they? It's not like piropos, or any other restaurant purposely overbooks reservations. Sometimes you need to look around and observe your surroundings. Would you like to eat in a resturant that had no wait on a saturday night? Probably not |

| Comments: | A large metal nut was found in one of the salsas placed at my table. Waitstaff laughed it off, said it had happened before. Mgnt ignored the incident in "Argentinian style." I will not return to this restaurant. Also $25 for a 4 oz glass of Fonseca 20 is ridiculous!! |

| Comments: | Once, my womens' group tried to figure an appropriate tip, only to find the waiter following us out the door asking if his service was
bad? However, another time I watched a rainbow settle over Parkville
College. What a dessert after a fabulous meal! Generally, food and service
are very good.

The waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful in making our selection. We told her it was our anniversary and I believe she went the extra mile to make it memorable, including our delicious flan that was complimentary! I highly recommend this restaurant and hope to return soon. |

| Comments: | Very nice place, beautiful views, good food, but they must be trying to support the restaurant on the bar profits. $25 for four (small, weak) drinks is ridiculous unless they pay huge $$$ for the soap to wash the glasses! Food was good but not memorable--see above. Won't be driving back here again. |

| Comments: | We went there for our anniversary, the service was lacksidasical, adequate, but no more. Spent over $100 on two appetizers, two entrees and two glasses of wine. The appetizers were very good tastes of Argentina. The entrees, however, didn't seem particularly Argentinian. We had chicken and a KC Strip steak respectively. My steak had 3 stalks of asparagus as a vegetable accompaniment. The food was good but it was little portions for a large price. If you want to check it out, I recommend appetizers on the patio to get the ambiance. |
