    Enjoyable meal. Argentinian Tango was quite good and the swordfish was excellent. One of my companions really enjoyed the lamb special.

    Stylish atmosphere and good service. Food and drinks are generally good, although some dishes better than others which can add a little inconsistency.

    Good Saturday night dinner experience overall with friendly service and decent food for the price. Main disturbance was the noise all around that made it difficult to hold a conversation at the table.
