My European colleagues and I were in Uster for work when I spotted an Argentinian steakhouse. As a Brazilian who loves Argentinian culture and gaucho barbecue (Argentina, Uruguay and south of Brazil), I convinced them to try it. I had enjoyed my honeymoon in Buenos Aires and knew the food would be great. On our first visit, the kitchen was closed, so we returned the next day, at 7PM, only to be disappointed.
The waiter informed us there were no seats inside but suggested the garden. When we said we wanted to eat, he warned it would rain soon (it didnât). I insisted we didnât mind and ordered Quilmes beers. Strangely, the waiter brought the payment machine immediately, which was unusual in my years in Europe.
When I asked again about dining, the waiter claimed it wasnât possible due to the impending rain and lack of indoor seats. His excuses felt insincere and reminded me of dubious ones Iâd heard before. It seemed they either distrusted us, thinking we might try to scam and run without paying or didnât want to serve us, despite other tables being attended to. This was humiliating and frustrating, as we had the means to pay.
I was extremely disappointed, unable to enjoy a good chorizo, some papa fritas, and maybe an alfajor. I refrain from giving a one-star review out of respect for the potential quality of the food and my admiration for Argentine culture, but I canât hide my frustration.
This is sad, as I remember a colleague from the Swiss company mentioning how good the...

   Read moreThe location is absolutely stunning, offering a breathtaking view of Uster that truly sets the scene for a memorable experience. The food was great; the meat was cooked to perfection, and the wine selection was reasonably priced. A special highlight was the delicious chocolate cake offered for our birthday. It was a delightful and unexpected gesture that we greatly appreciated. However, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant felt a bit cold. Despite requesting a table with a scenic view during our online reservation, we were seated with a view of the parking lot, near the entrance, which was somewhat disappointing for a birthday celebration. Additionally, the service did not quite live up to the high standards set by the food and location. The two waiters seemed somewhat disengaged and not particularly customer-oriented, which did not help to warm up the ambiance. We understand that every establishment has its challenges, and we hope that this feedback will be taken in the spirit of constructive...
