Restaurant Meal delivery

😐 Went for an early dinner with my son and my wife. We ordered a drink each from the bar and even though there were 3 people working there, it seemed like forever but they finally served the drinks. My son had ordered the salmon and strangely enough the waiter asked him how he would like it cooked.... People often mention steak, good, great, service, meat, ordered, steaks, worth, ribs,

    Went for an early dinner with my son and my wife. We ordered a drink each from the bar and even though there were 3 people working there, it seemed like forever but they finally served the drinks. My son had ordered the salmon and strangely enough the waiter asked him how he would like it cooked. My wife ordered one of the hamburger choices and I ordered the barbecued ribs. Both of these dishes came with your choice of fried potatoes or a salad. We both ordered the salad. This also took a very long time which I could forgive if the place was busy, but it wasn't. Anyway, my son said his salmon was mediocre, as did my wife about her hamburger. I tasted it too and I agreed. It seems that I was the only one that was happy. My Ribs were delicious. Soft, like falling off the bone, and a very tasty barbecue sauce. Delicious. Well...that's it. I will leave it up to you. You can try this place if you like and see for yourself.

    We had the pork ribs, and they were fantastic. This place was a 6 min walk from our hotel, and I am glad we found this place. Their steaks looked inviting, but they were out of our comfort zone. $60 for a steak in Medellin seemed a bit much. Is that normal for here? Anyway the only problem that we had, was we had so much wonderful food, we could not eat everything. This restaurant has an outdoor patio and has a great vibe!

    We arrived here by mistake while looking for a different place. There was a long waiting line, it was about 30-45 mins before we were sat. The drinks were very good and so was the food. My steak was prepared just as I requested and the service was friendly. The corn mashed potato is to die for. Wanted to come back but was short on time.

    Everything about the place is great. Staff are attentive and helpful, they also speak English if you have trouble with Spanish. I’ve eaten here 4 times this trip and put all the photos in one review. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in medellin (or 4 visits).

    NOT RECOMMENDED!!! Low quality meat cut, expensive and bad cooking techniques. They don’t know how to cook steak. I got porterhouse steak and they use spices to cook steak which is no no. I got porterhouse steak and beer. I paid total 180000 COP. Prices are similar to US but quality of the meat is really bad and cooking technique includes spices to hide quality of the meat. They need to learn cooking steak from professionals.

    There's a many places for great meat in Medellin, and this is just another one. I'll start with the good. Desserts are truly amazing, they are worth the try. And the Sangria... WOW... that was really gooood. There's a wide variety of starters and garnishes, and that's good, but when it comes to the main courses, there's really nothing that extraordinary, especially considering the prices. When your main thing is meat, there's gotta be something great to the flavor that makes you feel that's the best meat you've ever had, but here is just good, not great. For all the buzz and price level, I was hoping for quite more. If trending sites are your things, by all means, swing by... But if you are looking for an out of this world culinary experience, I suggest you dig a little deeper in other choices.

    A bit highly disappointed during my first in-person visit here. I've ordered via Rappi several times and the food has been great. I'd 100% recommend the ribs and sides. Those are consistently delicious (esp. the corn). I went for the imported porter house and yeah, I was far from good. - Not seasoned well (Salty) 🧂 - Medium-Rare came out more like Rare - Porter house was chewy with tendons and a lot of fat - In general not a stellar cut of meat Skip the higher priced imported cut. I've had their local tenderloin via delivery and that was better.

    8/21/23 Best place for steaks and ribs in Provenza! They really know how to cook meat. The Sterling butterflied is my go-to on the menu. The pulled pork nachos are very good, but need more BBQ sauce. Chips are a little stale/tough. Chimmichuri sauce is awesome. The name doesn't do this place justice. It looks very casual and average from the outside, but it's absolutely the best I've found for steaks. Decent customer service too.

    10 oz tenderloin with fries and a glass of wine was approx $30 usd. Filet was good, definitely not the best I’ve had. It was juicy just not a charred crust that I love with my grilled steaks. The vibe is legit, music selection was a mix of old school hip hop and regatón.

  • 5/5 Will G. 4 months ago on Google
    If you want a steak this is the place. Decent wine selection as well and they decanted it for us, nice touch. Get the sliced steak preparation. It is worth the wait for cooking time. Pro Tip: share the steak entree with three sides in a party for two.

  • 5/5 Charles M. 5 months ago on Google
    Quality food. Meat temp was a bit off. Medium-rare order came out blue (I don't mind though). Impeccable service. Above others.

  • 5/5 Melany M. 5 months ago on Google
    Fantastic Experience. Best Rose Sangria I’ve had. Meat was cook to perfection. Delicious Food. Server was attentive. Nice Atmosphere. Definitely worth trying once.

  • 4/5 Long 1 year ago on Google
    Can’t go wrong with a nice juicy piece of steak sautéed in mushrooms and carrot cake to polish it off. I liked the music selection here and vibe. Didn’t feel like a black sheep eating solo.

    This place is really good! It has good service, good food and good ambience, so you can’t beat it. I had the ribeye steak along with a cream corn dish that were both excellent. I started off my night with a drink and nachos, which were good as well. The cost of this place is not quite western but it’s not Columbian either. The cost is with worth it if you have the money.

  • 4/5 Adam T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice steak house with burgers etc. nachos are great! Expensive meal but worth it if you want to pig out. Service very good. Nice atmosphere with music - bit more of a party vibe with hip hop tunes.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good steak house. The beef is on point and from top quality. It’s not cheap but totally worth it. We had a burger with was filled with cheese which was cheese Heaven :) and also we had three different beef tenderloins and all were prepared as we wished and very delicious. We can totally recommend this place if you want to have some good beef in Medellin.

  • 5/5 Edward Murillo M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place ever to eat if you like meat in every roasted form. The staff is terrific and very kind. English speaking and perfect to go alone or with a large group. One of the best choices in Medellin.

  • 5/5 Michael U. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is absolutely amazing. Me and two of my friends went here for a dinner. We each ordered steaks. I had the ribeye, my other friend had a porterhouse steak and another friend had a t-bone steak. These things were cooked to perfection. if I could recommend any place it would be this one. Bring your friends and family and enjoy

    Great service and the smoked beef ceviche was tender and tasty.

  • 5/5 Paul A. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow what an awesome place! Such a well designed place fist off. service was great too. But what it shines at most is the amazing food. I had the ribs and friend had the smoked steak. Both quality. Best side dish I think I've ever had is the creamed cord with bacon and parmesan cheese! Insane..... Going back for sure 👍

  • 3/5 Sandy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Not sure why the high reviews the steaks were extremely fatty and believe me I tried I gave it two different times. Not a bad restaurant the cauliflower was actually great, but do not come unless you like a real fat steak that’s literally hard to cut through.

  • 4/5 Sagar F. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was very solid. I don't really have any complaints. I can't rave about it. I did like the pork knuckle or shoulder whatever it was. My pictures show my plate. It had a crunch outside and tender inside. I can't describe my feeling but I am not sure I will go back......waaaait. I just remembered the sangria. OK ok the sangria definitely placed it into a solid 4 star . I think the best sangria I have ever had.

  • 2/5 chr v. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was bad. Colombians are not good with steaks. I had a steak that look decent but the it tasted horrible and was overcook. You can eat way better at other places. Don't let the look or the reviews trick you into this place. I gave them two stars because the service wasn't bad and the alcohol was cheap too. Again there are way better places for a lot less money. Don't order steak.

    Excellent steak and great service. Highly recommended.

😠 We ordered a mixed ceviche and it was very acidic, you couldn't eat it, the presentation was terrible in a plastic cup. We paid 28,900 each and it was just onion, a small fish bite and 3 shrimp.

👍 Very nice food and very good service. It's a good restaurant for typical and authentic food, but it's a little bit pricey and the menu is rather limited.
