Reviews
The two servers (Dominic and Francisco) spoke Spanish and English, were quite passionate about the food, and knew the menu well.
Salmon tartare. Highly recommended. A layered stack of fresh greens, chopped avocados and mangos, delicious raw salmon, and rice. The aioli and shoyu sauce added a nice flavor to the dish.
Chorizo sausage and patatas bravas. Chorizo sausage is house made and has a great chunky texture and flavor (recommended). The cubed potatoes were deep fried with sauces in little plastic cups.
The seafood paella came with hearty servings of calamari, clams, mussels, shrimp, and saffron rice. It was piping hot and the acidity from the fresh lemon juice helped to balance the dish.
Parrillada Argentina. Large serving of meats for sharing between two or more people.
Favorites were the skirt steak and grilled angus short ribs. Enjoyed the meat quality and pairing with the Malbec wine.
Sweet bread was thinly sliced and tender with a mild beef flavor. It was highly marbled and I preferred the more well done sections that seared the fat.
The blood sausage was juicy and had a soft consistency that reminded me of a tofu-like texture.
Instead, I later received a text message stating that my reservation had been placed on a waitlist because the restaurant had no availability, and that I would receive a call if a seat became available. Despite this, I was later told that they had tried to reach me by phone — which is not true. The only communication I received was that text message, and it came two days after I made the reservation.
What made this experience even more frustrating was the complete lack of effort to help as a customer. No alternative times were offered, no solutions were suggested, and no attempt was made to accommodate me in any way. I was simply told to wait and hope that someone else canceled.
If the restaurant was already full, I don’t understand why their system allowed me to accept reservations and send confirmation emails in the first place. Being placed on a waitlist after receiving confirmation defeats the purpose of making a reservation.
Unfortunately, I never even got to try the food because of this experience. Clear communication and basic customer service were completely missing here.
Our favorite was the appetizers. We had the bruschetta and the blood sausage. It was nostalgia to find a place that made sausage without potatoes. While it wasn’t my grandma’s recipe, it was delicious. The herb dip with the bread was full of flavor. Service was fantastic, and they brought us right in on a Friday at 7 even though we didn’t have reservations.
My son didn’t care for his stake, it didn’t quite look like the marbles ribeye we are used to, but mine was great. Patrice leches for dessert was to die for. The kind you want to lick the plate. We ordered their specialty drink, Tango. It was small but you didn’t need more than one. We didn’t feel rushed. It was a little spendy, but we were celebrating mother’s Day and my son’s birthday. I found the or chose the restaurant because the conference I’m in town for says show your badge and get 10% off. We forgot that part, but that’s okay because we had a wonderful time.
Malbec Argentine Steakhouse offers a calming ambience with a warm, inviting vibe that immediately puts you at ease. The seating areas have a unique appeal, and if you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend arriving early to snag a window seat. The view adds a lovely touch to the dining experience, making it feel extra special.
Upon sitting down, we were greeted with bread and butter, but this was no ordinary butter—it had a deliciously fresh flavor reminiscent of chimichurri sauce, adding a flavorful start to the meal. The menu is wonderfully crafted, offering a range of mouthwatering options.
I opted for the Ojo de Bife, and let me tell you, it was a chef’s kiss! A gracious portion of tender, perfectly cooked meat, where every bite felt like a little piece of heaven. My mother ordered the bacon filet mignon, and the smokiness from the bacon complemented the steak beautifully.
Their dessert menu did not disappoint either. We tried the Budin de Pan and the Flan de Coco, both of which were an explosion of amazing flavors, leaving us completely satisfied.
Malbec Argentine Steakhouse is a must-visit for steak lovers, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
