Down the staircase into the buzz. Late in the evening the restaurant and bar are usually at capacity so there\u2019s always a quiet roar in the room. Plus, soft electronic-jazz and electronic-dance-music keep the vibe high.<\/p>\n Classy and sleek enough to be frequented by those used to posh surroundings. Edgy enough to be frequented by young hipsters with tattoos and piercings.<\/p>\n But enough about the vibe. I was dining alone on this evening so I decided to sit at the bar. I ordered a glass of Malbec. They gig you a bit when you order by the glass. 115 pesos. Ouch.<\/p>\n Perusing the appetizers, I had to ask what \u201ccarac\u00fa\u201d was. Turns out it\u2019s bone marrow. In most of Latin America it\u2019s known as \u201ctu\u00e9tano\u201d. But almost anywhere you try it, it\u2019s delicious. Bone marrow is not all that common in the USA. But when you do find it there or in Europe it\u2019s a delicacy. Usually one of the most expensive things on the menu. Oddly enough in Argentina this stuff is as common as an alfajor. It was the least expensive appetizer and I was pretty sure it was going to be the most delicious. Easy decision on the appetizer.<\/p>\n I was right. Three huge pieces of bone full of creamy marrow. Two pieces of crusty toasted bread. Other than the tiny spoon for scooping that good stuff out onto the bread, that was about all that was required to make this a successful appetizer. Just in case you wanted to mix it up a bit, it was served with a salsa made of pureed capers. As good as the marrow was without the sauce, it was even better with a dab of that sauce placed on top.<\/p>\n For the main course I ordered the braised veal. Not sure whether this was the shank or the shoulder, but it was perfectly cooked. Braised in Malbec wine for what I presume was 8 to 10 hours. Perfectly fork tender. It was glazed with a Malbec reduction and sitting on a truffle flavored potato puree.<\/p>\n The dish included a choice of one of about fifteen side dishes including glazed carrots, grilled asparagus and saut\u00e9ed broccoli. That may not sound all that unique if your visiting from North America or Europe. But, believe me, that\u2019s a pretty rare collection of side dishes to see on a Buenos Aires menu. I ordered the sp\u00e4tzle gratin with wild mushrooms, even more rare than carrots and broccoli.<\/p>\n So now we have another place that can\u2019t decide if it\u2019s a bar or a restaurant. Doesn\u2019t matter. It does them both quite well. The cocktails are as good as the food.<\/p>\n Prices were a bit higher than what you\u2019d typically see in Buenos Aires but considering the location and the trendy personality of this place I don\u2019t think the prices were really out of line.<\/p>\n The only downside was that sitting at the bar, service was a bit sketchy. The bartenders were taking care of the customers at the bar and mixing cocktails for the entire restaurant. They were a bit slow to pick up the plates once I\u2019d finished a course. But I doubt if that would be an issue at a table. The only other downside is that about half of the seating is either at bar-height or sitting in comfy sofas with dinner served at a cocktail table, seat-height. That can make it a bit awkward eating dinner. A minor drawback that won\u2019t be a concern to most diners.<\/p>\n Now let\u2019s make it clear. It\u2019s a trendy bar. It\u2019s loud. It\u2019s great for people watching. But if you\u2019re looking for a more traditional dining experience, one of these restaurants in the gastro-pub genre might not be the ticket.<\/p>\n But we think the buzz and the noise make the place more interesting. We\u2019ll be back.
