buenos aires

chk pls:
$88 w/tip, 2 diners, $44/person
overall a disappointing dining experience for the price. 

from the menu:
  • ensalada tropical
  • mollejas a la provenzal (sauteed sweetbreads)
  • morcilla (blood sausage)
  • chicken empanadas
  • flan
  • postre balcarce (caramel cake in meringue)
notes:
  • amazing empanadas but that's about the only highlight
  • sweetbreads contain a chewy membrane that made it tough to eat
  • blood sausage had some rubbery tendon-like chunks that threw off the mouthfeel
  • the flan and the balcarce rank among the worst desserts i've had
  • inept service
