Great place to eat. Staff were friendly and accommodating but not intrusive. We empanadas for starters which were delicious. The best steak for main which was cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable meal.

Excelente servicio, todo el staff muy amable. La milanesa a la napolitana , mejor que algunas que comí en Argentina! La música quizás un poco alta, pero nada muy grave. Un lugar repetir!

Simply a wonderful experience if beef is your thing. Greeted at the door like they knew us. The food was just exquisite. Perfectly cooked to order. Creamed spinach, fries all reminiscent of the finest NYC steakhouse. And a great value for the money. Quality, Service and Value all in one place! Magnificent!!!!!

As an Argentinean myself, Bife feels like home. Food quality is amazing, I fully recommend the empanadas, the rib eye and the Flan with Dulce de Leche. Friendly staff will do everything to make your experience unforgettable. The place is a little bit noisy, the Argentinean way, making it a 100% genuine experience.
