    Waiter asked right away if cash or credit. We said credit and asked why. He said they don't get tipped out at end of night. From there on out service sucked.

    Had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday at the Barre N. Food was delicious and the person who greeted us and made my birthday a bit more special was darling. ( I don’t catch his name. Our server was very attentive and I highly recommend the skirt steak with the chimichurri. I came up from Milwaukee and we all really made some memories!

    Food very bland. I had the empanadas and the crust was good but it seems like they used canned vegetables to fill the inside of them. Wasn’t as good as I expected in terms of ambiance, food and liveliness. I tried it but won’t be back.

    The food was so good. I would rather have sat in the back because of the noise level at the bar but it was still ok and very good!!

    Honestly the ceviche and the skirt steak was some of the best I’ve had. It brought me back to Argentina. I truly enjoyed the ambiance but the food was my favorite. I will be back here 10000%

    Waitress forgot to bring one of our appetizers but the rest of the food was great and plentiful, it's probably for the best.

    Tortilla de papa was low on seasoning and tasted like a plain omelet. Asadito is recommended to share with two people but they only bring out one salad for you to pass back and forth. Steak was good, ribs were chewy, and mollejas were soaked in oil.

    Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent drink menu. Very responsive service. And truly delicious food, steaks perfectly cooked. Music enhanced the ambiance. Likely the best quality/price value steakhouse in the city. Felt like we were in a neighborhood parillada in Buenos Aires.
