"My beef-filled week included a visit to chef John Manion’s ode to Argentina’s traditional asados. Opened in 2016, the restaurant recently underwent an interior renovation, but the menu — thankfully — remains as stellar as ever. A wood-burning hearth powers the kitchen, cooking steaks as well as a variety of other offerings. The grilled prawns were the standout: served halved and simply dressed with olive oil, cumin, and a hit of citrus. For a moment I feared they’d be overcooked — a tragedy for such pristine shellfish — but one bite erased all doubts and set the tone for the meal." - Jeffy Mai
