Good
: Crikey-mer-wikey this was good.  I had a tuna starter that was so fresh that I though it was a carrot; and I had the Argentine steak that was so delicious that I thought I would go back the next day.  The waiter told me that the meat is flown over from Argentina.

The wine was beautiful and the coffee made me think "even the coffee is good."

If this place was in Cambridge, it would be packed.  It is good unpretentious food that makes you want to live in Argentina.

Bad:  My pet hate: big bowl-plates instead of plates.  Also, the occasional ping of a microwave.
