This Argentinian steakhouse is located in LKF Tower, with a theme of the the exclusive specialty polo club. Arriving on the night we were greeted warmly by the staff, and after completing the health declaration and tested our temperature, we were shown to our table in the dining area, passing through a nice bar where one can enjoy some nice cocktail or other beverages before starting their meal.
Seated in the comfortable table in the middle of main dining room, and looking around we found there were a wall with a lot of paintings showing the polo sports. There are also mallets and caps decorating. For someone who were not familiar with the sports like us, the experience was interesting and fun.
We ordered a Golf Salad ($178) to start. The portion is quite big, with plenty of baby gem lettuce, avocado, hearts of palm, tomatoes and egg. Seasoned well with salt and some black pepper, the dressing had some nice acidity which helped to bring out the freshness of the vegetables and even though it looked simple, a nice appetizing starter for sure.
We also had the Wood-Smoked Bacon ($178). The long strip of bacon has been nicely grilled, not excessively fatty and having a nice smoky note. Pairing with chimichurri, the tomato and olive oil were a good complement to the flavors. Both the appetizers were good, but remember that it was meant for sharing as the portion would be too big for one in my opinion.
Next we had the Grilled Angus Beef, with me opting for the 20 oz Bone-in Sirloin ($548) while my wife had the 10 oz Tenderloin ($398). Personally it was a bit over-charred for my liking on the outside, but cutting it up, the meat was grilled to the correct level per our order, very juicy also. There were four sauces provided to accompany the steak. And we also had the Maitake Mushrooms ($118), with garlic and parsley, served as the side dish.
For dessert I had the Don Alfajores ($138), a signature South American treat, with the sandwich cookies having a filling of dulce de leche, plenty of chocolate and some vanilla ice-cream, accompanied by some strawberries. Certainly indulgent, it was quite sweet for me but good that the strawberries did give a balancing effect. My wife had the Strawberry Sorbet ($58) which was in fact very good.
I also ordered a glass of white Recuerdo Torrontes 2012 ($98) and a glass of red Catena Zapata Malbec 2017 ($368) to accompany the meal. The wine in my opinion was decent but a bit too over-priced. Service overall was nice, and seeing how they sang and used pops to help celebrate birthday for some of the diners was quite fun.
The bill was $2,440 and I would say it was overall a bit pricey considering the overall food quality. Even though the atmosphere was one of the highlights, it might not be sufficient for us to return again.
