What people say, in short
Commenters recommend Palermo for Argentinian food, including steak, while one especially likes the dishes beyond steak. A diner describes the atmosphere as resembling a seat around a fire grill, and another singles out the Argentinian cookies. Price is the recurring qualification: two commenters describe it as expensive. Others still name it as a favourite or a first choice for a meal in the city.
