Frommer's Review

Hillary Clinton once visited this restaurant; a picture of her with the staff hangs proudly on the wall. This casual parrillada resembles one you'd find in Buenos Aires -- except that this one also serves an outstanding range of mariscos (seafood), such as the Spanish paella or lenguado Las Brasas (a flathead fish) served with prawns, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes. From the parrilla, the filet de lomo is the best cut -- order it with Roquefort, mustard, or black-pepper sauce. The restaurant's fresh produce is displayed in a case near the kitchen.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
