    The grilled globes of artichoke at this Latin-inspired steakhouse are some of the best around. The char plays off the natural flavor of the vegetable, and is smoothed out by a squeeze of lemon. Read more

    Bife de Chorizo was amazing with side Acelga (perfect touch of side spice) --> will come again just for that!             Top floor more quiet, dark and private than the hectic open space

    Steak and empanadas are sooo good! Their chimichurri sauce hmm. Reservations recommended and be prepared for some tasty tapas and steak in dimly lit/kinda noisy restaurant.

    A very meat-driven place.So obviously everything you‘ll have from the grill is great.The Ribeye is the king.Good wines & drinks.The cauliflower was our favorite starter. Great place.

    Great setting and amazing Argentinian food. Start w the pork belly and end w a steak. The chicken is tasty too but still not as good as the beef. Great for the next time you are craving red meat 👍🏻

    Croquettas and ceviche are musts. The wine list is overwhelming but well priced. We had a great wine from Portugal and a carmenere from chile. Just ask your server for assistance!

    Ceviche and octopus salad were delicious. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere for a fun night out. Bone Marrow (pictured) was a favorite by other but not me :)

    I wish I could have tried all the meat!!! Had ceviche, ribeye, short rib, and bone marrow, which were all excellent and perfectly flavored. Meyer lemon panna cotta was also bomb.

    Start with empanadas and the ricotta croquettes. The croquettes were so smooth and puffy we ordered two servings. The NY Strip is a solid steak to split between a few people. Try a cocktail too.

    My favorite restaurant and rooftop bar! Lolinda is an Argentinian steakhouse and El Techo is the rooftop bar on top that serves really good apps and margs.

    Everything is amazing. Get the ceviche, the pulpo, palm heart salad, pork belly, the outstanding pork chop, the gaucho rib eye, the peanut mousse and a daiquiri anejo.

    I'm in love with this tapas-style steakhouse. Order the Croquetas, Carne Empanadas, Pork Chop, Flank Steak and a side order of the Papas. Pair it with one of their signature cocktails & you're golden!

    Really delicious pescatarian options even at a steak house. Burrata plantains, ceviche, and octopus were all awesome! Also their cocktails are unique and tasty!

    Excellent cocktails and, even on a busy night for the restaurant, it's possible to get a seat at the upstairs bar. 50/50 Martini is nearly perfect. Did I mention the food is really good too?

    1st off, the food is AMAZE. The cocktails are DELECT. But what sets this apart is the beautiful rooftop space with gorgeous views and friendly, smiley staff.

    With its combination of “Latin American flavors with Californian sensibilities,” Lolinda puts most Argentinian steakhouses to shame. Every single dish on the menu is absolutely perfect.

    If no tables -- go up to the bar upstairs, order drinks, and food while you wait. Generally bar space is tight, but you can find something. Host will get you when a table frees up. Restaurant hack.

    My favorite place for red meat. I brought many of my friends and they all loved it. Go for the bife de chorizo, it’s the best rib eye I ever had.

    Start with the Carpenter's Hand cocktail. Order the empanadas and the lentil salad and share the Asado Mixto. Drink a Malbec and finish with the peanut butter mousse. Amazing.

    I can't remember which of the individual drinks were particularly good because they were all so boozy, but I know they were all very good.

    It's like they went into my dreams and made the perfect menu. Delicious steak, ceviche, empanadas, grilled artichokes, dulce de leche, malbec, bourbon-based drinks.

    Get the skirt steak or porkchop to balance out the ceviche you should start with. The corn fritter thing in the ceviche is amazing.

    flank steak with chimichurri is one of the best I've had. Chicken empanadas are delicious - don't be turned off by the raisins.

    The chicken empanadas are exceptional, the croquetas are amazing too. Bone marrow is delicious too but very rich - not for the faint of stomach.

    High quality meats, but can serve them overcooked... Try their corn empanadas: so good! Service can be slow, as they seem to get pretty busy.

    Oaxacan Cross is a delicious smoky mezcal cocktail here. Their Chimichurri is delectable! And their ceviche with fried corn (I don't even like fish usually)

    Any kind of steak will be great, but the short rib was a little fatty for my taste. The flat iron was my favorite, very tender

    Order a bone marrow or a tartar, some croquetas, and a plate with different kinds of meat. Go downstairs, upstairs is usually too noisy.

    Three small plates, a steak, and a side is good for two. Everything I had was unbelievably good. Get the Ceviche.
