I don't how many times my boyfriend and I have driven by Carlitos Gardel and we never stopped. After going there Friday we realize we have been missing out on an amazing dinning experience! From the warm greeting we recieved upon entering, to the very friendly and knowledgable wait staff, and finally to the best steaks we've eaten in ages! My boyfriend had a thick ribeye steak slathered in homemade chimichurri! I opted for a hardy New York steak bathed in a white wine, peppercorn sauce. You must share a plate of the best garlic fries this old lady has ever come across! We started the meal with an order of Hongos: Mushroom caps stuffed with diced chicken and vegatables! The food instantly etched a permanent memory upon our senses! You'll won't visit another steak house for ages! The best part, however: The little touches: An amazingly expansive wine list for such a quaint place. Servers who pay attention to the finer points (We had at least three stop by to make certain everything was as good as could be)! Live music (a nice duet of piano and violin), and an atmosphere that transports you back to Buenos Ares in the 1940's. Hollywood, you have finally gotten it right! We'll back before the weeks out! Bravo! A++
Pros: Giant, savory steaks! Fresh baked garlic everywhere!
