Restaurant Description

Before you head out on the lake, or right after, or of course anytime you feel like a great Argentinean meal, we would love to see you. We specialize in beef and chicken empanadas, grilled steaks, milanesa's and chimichurri sauce. We hope to see you soon. Please make sure to take a look at our Facebook page and become a fan.

We went there only because it was on restaurants.com and was about half way between where I live and the people we were meeting. We did not have high expectations, especially since the parking lot was empty. But we were greatly surprised! The food was delicious, reasonably priced and generously portioned. I ordered a salad of greens and tomato and mozzarella cheese. It was enough for my lunch and dinner! There were hearts of palm, artichocke hearts, specialty olives and the cheese was the extra creamy stuff that is packed in water. The balsamic vinagrette was wonderful. Two people in our party ordered burgers and both were large with lots of flavor and came with a choice of sweet potato fries, onion rings, or regular fries. The last person in our party ordered the empanadas. He was quite taken with the flavors. The children in our group got much more that they could eat. The children meals came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The only drawback is they could have halved the scoop and the children would have been happy. I hope this restaurant can survive people getting to know it is there because the food is very good and the prices are quite reasonable. The location is not great: it is a barely a turn to the west of Main Street on S Colony. You can see the lake from the windows but not by much. The ambiance is minimal but the service was very friendly and, like I said, the portions are very generous, tasty, and priced reasonably. I would certainly recommend it.
