Roman’s selection of 120 day wet-aged, grass-fed black angus beef cuts are grilled on an Argentinian parrilla at a slightly lower temperature and for a longer period of time – similar to the Patagonian method of barbecuing crafted by Buenos Aires-born celebrity chef, Francis Mallmann.

Beautiful light coming in the large windows that face south. Was not too busy for Saturday brunch (maybe because it was Thanksgiving weekend), and the service was excellent. We both had the breakfast sandwich and added bacon and avocado. It was really delicious. Mine came with a kale salad that was surprisingly good and my daughter had the fruit which was very fresh. Also had the monkey bread which was a small portion - perfect since we were already stuffed.

The menu varied from what was posted online, but the choices were similar. The Goat Cheese tart appetizer was outstanding. We had the short ribs and the chef's special (whitefish). Both were excellent, as was the dessert (the Napoleon) we shared. Portions were just right. Service was excellent. I wish I could remember our server's name and compliment her directly. we will definitely return.

My family made reservations for the Thanksgiving dinner, and it did not disappoint. The food was spectacular and now I'm curious about what Artango's regular menu is like. The service was great, I appreciated so much that they were working on Thanksgiving day. The live music was also a really nice touch for the experience. I would definitely recommend Artango to others.
