What people say, in short
Commenters recommend San Telmo for Argentinian steak. One repeatedly praises the food, while individual favourites include the empanadas and cheeks with a Malbec. Two commenters find it expensive. A diner is cautious about judging it after only two visits, and another thinks it feels like a business-meeting venue despite preferring it to Farmer's Daughters. The food draws positive support without universal enthusiasm for the setting or value.
