The food was ok. The service was very good

This place is pretty good. The portions are huge so I could say you'll get your money's worth. Food isn't bad at all. We got... Argentina style empanadas for appetizers and Italian pastas for entrees.. I was hoping for some kind of fusion but its safe tosay the flavor is traditional. My favorite was the antipasto though. Not only was the presentation beautiful but everythingfrom the cheeses and meats to the spreads was great! The place is well kept and staff friendly. It's definitely a laid backkind of vibe.

Excellent service, delicious food, and good ambiance. I love their wine selection.

I absolutely love this place!!! I haven't been disappointed in the slightest. Sometimes dinner service takes long but the food... is well worth the wait. I love the cambalache sandwich, their filet mignon is fantastic, as well as the salmon champagne. Can'twait to eat here again!!! Read more

Delicious food! Amazing personal and the owners are the most generous people I’ve ever met.

Good place, good food, false online advertisement. First time here! The ambience was nice, friendly customer service, thy have... many options of drinks (sparkling water) were great, the food was yummy, and low on condiments...pizza was yummy Sadly it had afew downsides: TIME...It tooked them an hour to bring our order, is understandable that is made on the spot, but an entire hourwithout anyone coming to your table to say your food is gonna take a little longer or any courtesy (besides bringing an extrabowl with bread lol). FOOD: Ordered 3 parrillada for two....way too much food, as a first timer would've loved to know that theparrillada feeds 3 people...or a suggestion from the waiter, which we asked, but that's completely on me.....However, asked mymeet to be cooked 3/4ths to well done and received the parrillada super bloody, definitly not even closed to 3/4ths or welldone....not a fan of having blood in my mouth while eating so that tooked out a chunk out of the experience. If we have sent itback, it was going to take I don't know how much longer... COST: Since it was a first time going here, we checked the pricesonline and thought they were resonable....parrillada online says $36....at the end of dinner we get the check and the parrilladawas $52.... Would recommend, but make sure to have time enough to sit around, their website is not up to date, so ask waitersfor current prices.... A plus...bathroom were clean! Read more

Initially, we found it strange at the Argentinian & Italian concept but a visit to the restaurant made perfect sense. The... restaurant had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating although, a reservation is highly recommended for large parties on theweekend. The ambience was very comfortable. It seemed like dinner with the family. Our waitress was quick and attentive. Westarted off with the drink menu--there were mixed drinks, wine, beer. Basically, it had selection for a variety of guests. Bring a bottle of wine, if you prefer your own. The dishes we ordered were all good with the exception of the paella. It felta bit too dry. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience at the Cambalache. Will definitely come back for the other disheson the menu. Read more
