Carlitos Gardel Restaurant Review:
Family-owned and -operated since 1996, Carlitos Gardel offers the robust beef- and garlic-centric cuisine of Buenos Aires. An air of romance is created by low lighting and a live keyboardist playing Tango music on weekends. For a light beginning, share the refreshing ensalada de la casa, a platter heaped with diced cucumber, hearts of palm, raw onion, tomato, egg and organic greens, all tossed...
It feels like the "Buenos Aires of the '50s" at this "charming" Melrose Argentinean "attracting expats" and locals alike with "mouthwatering" grass-fed steaks "as big as the table" and other upscale "comida excelente"; with its "dark, romantic" digs, carefully curated wine cellar and "top-notch" service overseen by a "dedicated family", it's a "real" find – "all that's missing is the tango."
