What an experience! This place has been on my list for a while and I can say it was a great dinner. The highlight of the night were the appetizers. Super tasty and full of flavor, you can’t go wrong with any choices. The steak was also tasty but we loved the pork belly and croquettes. They have a traditional Argentinian grill, with moving the coals to the different stoves too. We are so excited to come back here after their wonderful service!

I’m still trying to decide how I feel about this place. 4 stars overall seems reasonable. They have a separate person for bread and water, however, drinks and water were empty and No one came around to do refills. We ended up sharing waters. The best part is how quiet it was when we first arrived with only a few others tables that were seated. It filled up as we dined-in and it was still at a reasonable noise level. The filet was fantastic. I’m not sure why the New York strip is so expensive when the filet is a better cut. I recommend sharing the porkchops. It comes with 2!
Another table ordered something that cooks food at their table and the venting inside the building is not good enough to suck out the smoke. It got very hot and smelly inside, which caused a few headaches. One thing I forgot was you can’t customize the dishes. They force you to order everything exactly as the menu says. Because of that, one of us got sick from it.

For appetizers, we ordered the Provoleta Dehumanda, Cerdo a la Gardel, and Crocchettes. The Crocchettes are good, especially with the sauce, but the Cerdo a la Gardel is unreal. Tough to go wrong with pork belly, but the guava barbecue sauce puts this on another level. Our table couldn’t get enough. For main entrees, I ordered the Ojo de Bife, and others ordered the El Lomo. All the steaks were cooked a level lower then asked. Our server was happy to take them back for a little extra cooking, but we weren’t too bothered. But if getting it spot on matters to you, ask a step above your preference. I wasn’t impressed with the steak. There’s no flavor, and not enough side sauces to move the needle. For sides, the Papa Provenzal (French Fries) are the top item. The Puré de Papas are good too, but not as good as the fries. The Crema de Maiz Dehumada are interesting. Literally the first word everyone said after trying a bite was, “Hmm, interesting.” It grew on me, but it’s distinct in its flavors. If you like trying new things, you’ll enjoy this side. The El Condor mocktail is good (a member of my party felt it was the best mocktail they’ve ever had), and I’m curious about El Puma. None of the desserts we tried landed for me. The Panqueque de Dulce de Leche is flat in its flavors, and the Alfajores de Dulce de Leche was too rich for my palate. However, in defense of the desserts, if you enjoy the flavors of Latin-American desserts, these will likely be up your alley.
The service was good, but confusing. It was like the servers were playing “nose goes” between each service and the loser had to come help us out. To be fair, I was eating with some high maintenance people, but wasn’t experience I was looking for. Both servers were nice and helpful. One was good to engage in friendly banter with our party, which was appreciated. And they went out of their way to make the birthday of one of our party special.
The atmosphere is the highlight of Libertango Steakhouse. Great ambiance, cool setting, and being able to see the oven with fire spewing out hits a cool factor I didn’t know existed.
The ultimate question every restaurant, but especially a high-end restaurant must answer, is does the experience match the dollars spent? The answer for Libertango is no. Spend a little more and go to Ruth’s Chris, Fleming’s, or even Carver’s just down the road. Libertango has nailed the atmosphere and it’s a great location, but the food and service are a step beneath the other steakhouses.

A great semi formal date night. Food was presented well and delectable. I thought the purple sweet potatoes was a unique addition. Both meals were very good. The red and white wines we had were great. Their list of wines had a lot from Argentina and South America. The staff was appropriately attentive. The bathrooms were beautiful.

Honest review . I wouldn’t come here again because it’s too overpriced for basic food . The glowing menu is the only reason I came and it kinda made it seem like it was all that but turned out to not be all that. Restaurant was very fancy looking tho! Food is very overpriced. I ordered salmon and it only comes with rice . I’m Mexican and that rice taste like the rice I make when I messed up and put too much tomato sauce in it. I also ordered the brócoli rice and that was really good. The bread way half good enough and the other half is not edible . It was too hard but the butter it came with was 10/10. The salmon was big and it actually filled me up but it’s sad how it comes with the nasty tomato rice only . It would be 10/10 if it came with a better side . I feel like this dish has so much potential if it had a better side.

We’ve been twice and have loved it both times. Their steaks are to die for tender add the atmosphere is spot on. My Moscow mule was great. This time, two of us shared the $230 barbeque. The 3 steaks were cooked perfectly, chicken was quite dry. The charcoal box kept everything warm while we ate through it all. That broccoli and rice and French fries are devine. I investigate the prices are high and though, we couldn’t eat here every month, we love to travel up every few months to indulge.
The establishment is spotless with neat touches like light up tables and menus along with the barbeque placed front and center to watch your meal being prepared. Staff was wonderful, attentive and respectful, with only a young girl reaching over people to fill drinks which was not acceptable. We highly recommend this place and wish the owners and staff well!

Dear Mr. Jorge Serodio,
Owner and Founder,
I would like to express my deep disappointment with the extremely poor service I received during my first anniversary celebration. I am Argentine and have lived in Brazil for many years; I am familiar with steakhouses from both countries. I am passionate about fine dining, and my partner is a chef. I chose your restaurant based on the photos I saw online and the promise of a phenomenal, five-star-quality experience.
I have worked aboard the finest cruise ships of the Regent Seven Seas line, and I truly enjoy visiting restaurants that claim to offer a unique and high-quality dining experience. Everything started well — the busser offered us drinks, but we chose to have only water due to medication. At that moment, the waiter’s attitude changed, as if not ordering alcohol made us lesser customers.
The busser insisted on removing the bread from our table — twice. The second time, I explained that in Argentina, we traditionally enjoy our meals with bread. His response was, “Well, I’m not Argentine to know that.”
When ordering the sides, I requested farofa, to which the waiter — in a rather condescending tone — asked, “Do you know what farofa is?” I replied that yes, I do, as I lived in Brazil, and he asked again if I was sure I wanted to order it.
We ordered creamy rice, Buenos Aires salad, and farofa, and for the meats, the ribs and the vacio. When the ribs arrived, that was the first major disappointment — how can an Argentine grill serve “Asian-style ribs”? The cut was as thin as the ones used for Asian hot pots, and it was priced at $50! Rancho Market gets the thickness and the cut you need!
The vacio was pre-seared and then reheated — the center was cold. The farofa was overly salty, and the salad came with mustard dressing. When I raised my hand to ask for another dressing, a waitress approached and, when I asked if they had a different option, she replied rather rudely: “You want another? What kind?” and then said to herself, “Something with honey…” I said yes, something different — I just didn’t want mustard on my salad. The waiter later brought me balsamic, which I appreciated, but the salad itself was poorly prepared: it looked nice because of the tomatoes and cheese on top, but underneath it was a bed of wilted greens, not fresh at all, as if left too long in the fridge.
The water glasses had stains. Since it was our anniversary, I didn’t want to speak to the manager — though I’m not sure there even was one that night. I ended up spending a total of $169. I honestly didn’t want to leave a tip because of the poor service, though I was never disrespectful, but I did give a tip.
Please, I hope you take the time to respond to this review sincerely — from the love you have for your restaurant. Unfortunately, I did not feel welcome in your establishment. It was, sadly, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in Utah. I truly believe that those who leave positive reviews are people who usually eat only fast food. Honestly, I’ve had better steak at the Intermountain Hospital café in Provo than at your restaurant.
And allow me to add one more thing: instead of spending money on illuminated menus and decorative details, you should invest in properly training your management team and staff to provide genuine, five-star customer service. Only then will your restaurant truly live up to the experience it promises.
Sincerely,
I hope I can get a refund.

Jonathan and Henry were fantastic. Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Parrillada Gringa with three different steaks and one chicken, and it was cooked to perfection. We added the cheese rice (do not skip this side!), vegetables, and the arroz con azafrán, every bite was incredible.
The service was outstanding. They took the time to explain what everything was and how it was prepared, which made the experience even better. This is officially our new go-to spot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This restaurant has a very pleasant upscale ambience. The decor is cohesive, warm, and intimate, great for a special date night. The sound level was pleasantly calm, conducive for conversation. The chairs are uncommonly comfortable.
The staff was welcoming and on top of things.
The food was deliciously prepared and nicely plated, simply but elegantly.
The prices are quite high with dishes being between $35-80 per plate. The sides are extra if you are ordering the steak.

My review is for the Valentines Day “special”. Went through meticulous preparation when making my reservation speaking directly to the restaurant. Reservation was made for 6pm and made sure they were well aware of my wife’s food allergy and some substitutions could be made. We were very excited to try this place and was really looking forward to it. We arrived for our reservation 5 minutes early and probably 5 other parties arrived at approximately the same time. They were clearly overbooked and we waited for around 15-20 minutes before being seated. We reminded our waiter of the allergens, and he had no idea what we were talking about (clearly no notes were taken for our reservation). The chef (she offered the best service there), came out and worked out a couple of substitutions for my wife. This was a 5 course meal. The bread course they had nothing to substitute (which they said on the phone they would). They did substitute the appetizer for her after the chef came out to speak to her. The salad was brought out, and we still had nothing to drink and the wine menu still was not brought to us (ridiculous to be into the 3rd course). The manager came to the table and said he would take care of the wine and 2 glasses were finally brought. We then ordered our entree…2 filets….and they were brought out within 3 minutes. Clearly not cooked to order. We cut into them at the waiter’s request, and they were both well done (ordered medium rare). They were taken away and about 15 minutes later, 2 more steaks were brought. They were delicious, I will give them that. The waiter never did check back throughout the meal to see if we wanted more wine or anything. Desert eventually followed which they were able to address this for my wife, however we were pretty much over this whole experience by this time. The bill was brought to us, and not only did they attempt to charge us for this “prepaid dinner”, but the wine was not taken care of as we were told it would be from all the problems we had. They had to fix the bill, which the waiter brought back and made sure he let us know that gratuities were not included. This was a very expensive meal (close to $400) and wanted it to be a special valentines day meal. The service and numerous mistakes, not only soured the experience, but certainly made this far from being worth what was paid. The food was good, but it was no where near worth it. There are numerous upscale steak houses such as Ruth Chris or STK that are half the price with much better attentiveness to their customer and detail. I would doubt I would return here, and certainly would recommend other places over Libertango.
