Carmine's Steak House - Mar del plata

Have a nice evening.The T-Bone was awesome.Hats off to James, a first class butler.Note for the French: in Saint Louis during the week, restaurants close between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. !!! : plan to dine early ?

Food was ok but the bill was not. Market price for everything. Got a bone in filet. $197... FOR THE STEAK ALONE. Nope. Never again. Wasn't even that good. My fault for not asking, but who would've ever dreamed a filet would cost that? The lobster bites appetizer was really good. That was about it.

Food was good, but for the money I expect way better. The wait staff told a few people at our table that Medium Rare was not an option, to just choose Rare or Medium because Medium Rare is not possible....... Alrighty then.

The food was wonderful! The creamy mushroom risotto was hands down one of the best side dishes I’ve ever tried.We had crab cakes, glazed rack of lamb with risotto, and sea bass over angel hair pasta with a loaded potato. For drinks we had the Cardinal Sparkle and the Sniper.They waiter was very knowledgeable and checked on us often. Overall wonderful experience.The only downfall was that the bathroom was absolutely repulsive. Trash all over the floor, people coming and going without washing their hands, barely any room for more than 1 person at the sink…

OH .. MY .. GOD!!! This was the best steak I've had in a VERY long time. Cut like butter. The steak was so tender! It was EXCELLENT!!!
