LaVondilyn Foods!
I was excited to come back to Carne – the first time, the food was actually pretty tasty. Tonight, I was happy to see they are now a Black Bird Restaurant – I fly for $FLY!
We didn’t have a reservation, so it seemed difficult to be seated. The hostess insinuated that there was only ONE table open, as she looked at her tablet. We were urged to sit at the bar – but 2 hours into our visit, the restaurant was still mostly empty. That was disappointing. But, Tiffany, the bartender, was super kind and welcoming. She did a great job Even other servers who were passing by us were friendly.
I ordered the Picanha, which will always be my go-to if it’s on the menu. I ordered it a notch above medium – unfortunately, it came out to me well-done. The chimichurri was excellent though. I enjoyed the risotto, and the warm bread loaf. My friend loved her spinach dip.
Overall, it was a good experience, and I will return. But, next time, I will make a reservation – again, it seems to have been a problem that we didn’t have one.
I am very glad that they are a Black Bird restaurant, however. As a Denver foodie, it greatly affects my decision-making in dining options.
Would I recommend it to friends? Sure!

First time here, the food was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend the filet or the smoked bison. The fries were seasoned to perfection. Omar was our server and they were SO attentive and helpful. They recommended the blueberry & lime cider. Absolutely exceptional.
Recommend for a date night.

Ordered two steaks. The New York strip and the bison. Requsted mid rare, but the New York was closer to mid rare as the bison was not. Overall the food tasted good. They have dry rubs which were very distinct and flavourful. I was very disappointed in the risotto. Severely overcooked which made the rice soggy and to top it off was pretty bland. There was one bar tender at the time we went, so drinks took a bit of time before we received them. Seating is kind of a messy cluster. Sat way more than close enough to hear other customers speaking, as they heard us as well. Staff was super nice, polite helpful. The real issue for the shortfall is little things here and there. I had made a reservation, but this is not a place for that. Personally okayest, not bad but not good.

I had a fantastic meal at Carne last night! The bartender (Miles) was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The green chili cheese potatoes were so good that I had to get a second order to take home for later!
The restaurant is a little bit on the smaller side, but the vibes are perfect for a date night.
I did have to circle the block twice to find a parking spot, but it was totally worth it! – I will be back!

Came in here on a Saturday and it was busy so recommend reservations but was able to get a spot at the bar. Great location in the heart of Rino. All the food was amazing! Had the octopus, root vegetables, and the picanha. Also the cocktails were great and very balanced. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

Wasn’t too impressed
Definitely not traditional Argentina cuisine
Very salted.. everything.
Had the octopus, tritip/sausage, side of fries
Food was fine
But expensive; so should have been better
Sat at bar with somewhat rushed service
Loud atmosphere with 20-30 year olds enjoying cocktails
So many restaurants in the area for the same price or cheaper
Good luck

We made reservations and were initially sat at a 2 top table between two other tables. It was quite loud so we asked to sit at the bar. It was a great move. It was our first time at the restaurant and we were given a complimentary cheese appetizer from the kitchen. This was soooo good, I could eat a whole plate of them. Might have to say it’s my first time again the next time I go. I will also be dreaming about the mushroom risotto! The standout of the night was our bartender Shanna! The drinks were amazing and the service was outstanding! Shanna was passionate about her job and we were so glad we opted to sit at the bar.

First time at this establishment. The décor will have you reminiscent. Customer service is top-notch. Definitely enjoy my experience at this location. The meal was absolutely scrumptious.

Our server was excellent, I wish I remembered her name – she had some fun goldfish earrings and was so nice and helpful, especially compared to the less friendly bartender. Our food was great but they need slightly less rich/heavy sides. We got the octopus which was excellent, highly recommend. We then got the green chile potatoes and carbonara and both were quite heavy/rich. The carbonara was far too creamy, it was tasty but just not quite right for the dish. We did get the bison special and wow – I’m not a huge red meat fan but this was tasty! I’d get that and the octopus again & would likely have gone with burrata and bread but lessons learned.

Came here for a holiday dinner with two of my best friends and Jes couldn’t have been better. She was so personable, had amazing recs, went above and beyond, and didn’t rush us out. She is a gem. The food was also incredible, but I would come back for that woman alone. Excellent experience!
