I finally made it! And I'm upset that I waited so long. From being greeted at the entry (rear for my event), to the chats with the Executive Chef, to the food and service. Everything was top notch. All the menu items sounds amazing, but I stayed with the ribeye medallion and the creamed spinach. Both were exquisite. "I'll be back"

Saw a promo on KTLA and decided what better birthday celebration, so I made a reservation which is a must. We arrived and valet our in front, as we have never been here before we were in the wrong place. We had reservation in the patio which is behind the store front, and entered behind from the alley. Just keep in mind where your table is reserved for. Anyway the greeter was super nice, we were early yet still seated right away. Service was very professional and I would describe it as not the most engaging interactions. Not rude, not mailed in platitudes, just straight forward information and results. The ambience is nice, covered patio that is heated when needed. Very charming. Now for the reason we went. The steaks. They were by far the best cuts we have had. The milanesa is so tender it can be forked cut. The skirt steak was a big hit with wifey and our girls. Well worth the trip and expense. Can’t say we will be back very soon as it is west of LA and we are closer to OC. But when the opportunity is there we will make it.

Had such a great experience at Carlito's Gardel. We sat on the back patio, and it was the perfect ambiance — cozy, elegant, and such a beautiful setting for dinner. The food was absolutely incredible and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The scallops were buttery, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The branzino was decent, and my mom really enjoyed the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The service was just as impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire dining experience feel special without being overbearing. One thing that really stood out was that the owner made his way around to every table, checking in with guests and creating such a welcoming, personal touch. You can tell they truly take pride in both the food and the overall experience. The only small downsides for me were the espresso martini, which I personally didn’t enjoy because of the orange twist, and some confusion around parking since I was told three different prices. However, those were minor compared to the overall experience. Overall, I would definitely recommend Carlito’s Gardel if you’re looking for a memorable dining e

The best part of the best expensive restaurants, or at least tied with the incredible food, is the quality of the staff. There's nothing better than interacting with people who love their jobs and are true subject-matter experts, and everyone at Carlitos Gardel fits that description perfectly. It's a small, intimate place with some of the best food I've ever eaten, and as long as you're not worried about the number on the check at the end of the meal, I think this steakhouse sits right in the top echelon of LA restaurants.

Carlitos Gardel Argentine Steakhouse is fantastic. The ambiance feels straight out of Europe- romantic, lively, and perfect for a special occasion, date night, or group dinner. It’s expensive so definitely more of a special occasion spot, or if you just want to treat yourself! The food is excellent across the board, with the steak being the highlight, served hot and sliced tableside. Pastas, appetizers, salads, and sides were all great, especially the beef empanadas and french fries. The warm complimentary bread served with chimichurri sauce is SO good! Service was attentive and professional, and the live music the night we visited added so much to the experience. Highly recommend, especially if you love steak!
