The vibe

Upscale Argentine-influenced steakhouse in the West Loop with an open fire kitchen visible from the bar. The one-hour daily happy hour is brief but worth knowing about: $13 Caipirinhas, $11 wine, and $6 grilled oysters at the bar (must be seated at the bar). The empanadas at $5 each are exceptional value. Popular — queue at opening is common.
