Critic Giles Coren Claims Ella Canta Is the Worst Restaurant He’s Ever Reviewed | Eater London

"An uneven but ultimately likeable neighbourhood Argentine-leaning hangout in a bleak area: despite some politically fraught asides from the reviewer, highlights include perfectly done steaks, 'obscenely rounded' black pudding and chorizo, and beautifully crimped empanadas stuffed with tuna and spicy chicken, combining to make it a solid local option." - George Reynolds

By far the best place in the Kingwood area for dinner, drinks, and apps. Our server (Alpha) was amazing. She offered suggestions and was very attentive without being overbearing. This was our second time here and the food (steak, seafood, and sides) are all on point. The place is decorated well, very clean and gives a classic steakhouse vibe without being pretentious. 100% recommend and will be back.

Have been here several times. Have ordered the chilean sea bass, different steaks but usually order the butcher's board. Butchers board is good for 2-3 people. Have yet to be disappointed with the butcher's board or with the restaurant. Good service and atmosphere. Update: dined here Saturday, January 25, 2025. As stated before, have been here several times, but this last time, the service was not very good. Had to ask for drinks and wait several minutes to have them brought to the table. Asked for two drinks and they never came so we canceled them. Food also came out slowly. It was busy, but service could have been better. The food though was excellent. I will still go back and hopefully there will be better service. Returned again and food was excellent. Disappointed that they no longer offer the butcher board. Give the crab fingers a try. They were excellent.

We dine at Chimchurri’s about 2-3 times a month. We love the Executive Lunch, as well the the wonderful menu for dinner. We have never had an unpleasant experience over the 12+ years that we’ve been regulars. The food, service and atmosphere are always wonderful. We did take out tonight and it was awesome !

Every bit of my experience here was 10/10. We sat at the bar for dinner and the bartender/server was so kind and eager to share recommendations. She was extremely polite and had such a lovely way about her. I kept it simple and got a Caesar salad and a 8oz filet which was cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had with some added cracked pepper. The quality of the filet was great and the chimichurri sauce on top was absolutely delicious. I’m craving it again right now!

Go somewhere else! Ruth Chris, Steak 48, even saltgrass is better than this place. Great service, great cut of steak, horrible cook.... just horrible! Will never come back! Steak was way overcooked the first time and cooked right the second time but zero flavor. Like zero! Great example of a place people would go to feel special. Go somewhere else to feel special... please! Seriously a 14 dollar HEB steak that you cook on the grill is better than this place. Had a birthday party there and spent over 700 dollars... when we all walked to the car nobody was saying that was good.... just disappointment all around. Please go somewhere else!

Great tasting and affordable lunch special. $20 for a starter, entree, and dessert. I tried the salmon and the steak and it was amazing. They also bring you plantain chips with a dip before you order your food. Ambiance is superb and every single dish I tried was full of flavor. The ceviche soup and flan were my two choices with the steak. You won't regret! Only minor issue is service is a bit slow. Had to wait long for a party of three's food. Almost no one in the restaurant and to get the check we had get up from the table and find the waiter. I understand it's Latin culture to eat and dine slowly but not everyone in Texas abides by this.

Valentine’s Prix Fixe Night Wonderful dark wood walls up to vaulted ceilings. Windows views of the lake. Floor to ceiling glass cases and wall art. Cozy romantic atmosphere. South American flare on a variety of meats and fish. This is not our first trip, just first review. Raul, our server, was kind, attentive, and his rich accent really set the mood. You feel royal in the treatment by the staff. “Cupid Wings” splayed deep fried drumsticks, ornate and richly battered, with blue cheese sauce. Fresh crispy, sweet, orange bites in a mixed green salad, vinaigrette. Stellar Peruvian sweet corn soup, the star of the evening in my opinion. Silky, full flavored, original mixture of spices and roasted corn flavor…6 stars. 4 oz. Beef Medallion (supreme soft texture, subtle grilled flavor with a hint of char) Rainbow Trout, my favorite swimmer, beurre blanc sauce (think, very light roux) Alforjores (dense short bread like cookies filled with dulce de leche sweet cream. We added a cappuccino, and the dark cinnamon strip across the foam tastes of hickory smoke, so original it took me to a foreign clime. We love this restaurant. One of the few places where service still makes you feel cared for. Lovely quant board walk lakeside behind the restaurant, in line with several other restaurants. Do add this place to your list!

Everything was perfect! Thank you for making my hubby's birthday a special day! Ramon was our server and he was outstanding! Very well versed on everything. It was our first time there, which seems unbelievable since we live basically next door! We will definitely come back. Thank you!

Chimichurri's in Kingwood is a solid spot -- good food, good prices, and a really pleasant ambiance. For the area, it's definitely one of the nicer options, and everything we tried was well-seasoned and fresh. Service was friendly, and the space feels relaxed but polished. That said, it's more of a "great if you're already in Kingwood" type of place. If you're thinking of driving all the way from Houston just to eat here, there are definitely closer spots in the city that offer a similar or even better experience. But for locals or anyone nearby, it's a dependable and enjoyable choice.

Sitting on the lakefront, Chimichurri's offers dining with a view in their indoor patio room with lots of natural lighting from the windows. The lake isn't the prettiest, but the food is beautifully presented and tasty; I loved all the colors! We ordered a la carte, but they have an amazing lunch menu with an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $20... definitely trying that next time! ** Empanadas-- you can mix and match beef, chicken, shrimp, and vegetable, so we got one of each. Served hot, the dough was crispy on the outside but also had a nice chew. The shrimp was my favorite with the vegetable being a close second, both having more of a slightly sweet curry-like filling. The beef and chicken were more of a meat paste, and the chicken was a little drier. But they were all flavorful enough to eat without the ranch/tartar sauce! Would order again. ** Sizzling ceviche soup-- ordered out of curiosity of how ceviche could be sizzling but also a soup, and this turned out to be more of a seafood broth with chunks of shrimp and fish. It was nice, hot, and enjoyable. ** Ceviche-- so pretty with all the colors! The texture and taste of the white fish was very nice, but the shrimp was no bueno for me. The herbs and yam were nice touches. ** Champagne Truffle Risotto-- super creamy and soft (potentially described as "mushy" but I liked it!), slightly sweet and nice mushroom flavor. Loved how hot and creamy this was! ** Caesar salad-- the most mediocre of the meal, was okay, but the additional chicken was super dee duper dry. On a weekday afternoon, the lunch crowd was pretty small, so it was a nice intimate meal by the waterside. We're adding Chimichurri's to our lunch rotation when we're in the area! Our waiter, David, was friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. There's parking in the plaza as well as the garage just across the street.

We love Chimichurris South American grill in Kingwood! Such a great place and the food is excellent. The Arepas with shredded beef and the crab fingers for appetizers are over the top! Our entrees were all cooked to perfection. Steaks cooked perfectly, chicken and shrimp were so fresh, I could go on and on! Service was impeccable. We celebrated our anniversary with another couple that share the same date as ours, and we had an amazing night! I highly recommend this place, especially for a special occasion. The restaurant is so beautiful and feels so special! We love it!

Had a great time here, loved the quiet chill vibe, the staff were super nice and the food was great! Since it was our first time there the manager recommended the Uñitas de Cangrejo which are the crab "fingers" served with an arepa over mashed potatoes. While these crab finger's presentation could have been better and the crab meat was just crab meat, it was the Sauce that really made the dish! Really glad it was recommended to us! My husband insisted that we try the bone marrow, it was my first time having bone marrow and it was pretty good, I especially liked the sweet pickles that came with it! We also ordered a few drinks on and off the menu and the bartender, Nicole did not disappoint! She made one of the best Espresso Martini! We're really glad we found this place and look forward to trying other dishes!

Chimichurris has probably the best steak in Kingwood. The service is always spot on. The restaurant just has that old school steak house vibe. The three course executive lunch is a great deal too.

I visited Chimichurri's for a work function (during the week) and it was delicious. The ambiance was really great, they even had a violin player onsite. Great date spot. I had the sea bass and beet salad. It was SO delicious, light, flaky, and perfectly seasoned. The beet salad was nice and light and the perfect addition.

My sister recently held her birthday dinner here. Initially the service was slow & we sat too long before we were offered menus or water, fortunately the service progressed as the night went on. The complimentary fried plantain chips & chimichurri sauce were probably my favorite part of this restaurant. The food was good, we ordered the beef empanadas to start, I opted for the ribeye as my entree and we ordered several different sides to share family style. I was able to try their mashed potatoes, asparagus, yuca fries, and truffle Mac & cheese. The ribeye was cooked to perfection & well seasoned, overall my family enjoyed dinner. The restaurant offers a complimentary dessert for special occasions.

Service was great, very attentive and professional. Food was so delicious, I tried bites of other dishes too and nothing disappointed! Chimichurri sauce on everything is the way to go. Nice atmosphere, dimly lit and not too loud or quiet. Leave room for dessert! :)

I've been here a few times for the lunch special which is a very good deal! Last night I went for the dinner service. Dress code is strictly enforced at dinner so keep that in mind. Service was very good. My water glass was never half way before someone was topping it off. Food and drinks were excellent. Only complaint was an automatic 25% gratuity included with the bill. I have never seen such a high amount before. But overall this is a great spot for a date night or special occasion.

Tasty food but small portions It was our first visit here. We parked in the garage because around 6:30 pm it gets very busy and there were no parking spots on the street. Luckily it's free. Since we didn't make a reservation we sat by the bar, which was still nice. Even though our server was busy he was attentive. As an appetizer we got the arepas with shredded beef. You get 3 which I thought was odd, they should you give since one generally shares appetizers. You do get free plantains with chimichurri. It's acidic which I loved but the person I went with didn't. I got the pargo which is snapper. It was good and it came with four scallops. He got the fried crab risotto. Both were good but like many fancy restaurants the portions are small. My cocktail was also good, it was the lavender citrus. The lavender was mild, the cocktail had a nice light aroma and was refreshing. With appetizers and the plantains you do leave feeling full.

I started writing this before my main dish arrived, and I'll finish whilst eating my dessert, but my opinion hasn't changed since I walked in for lunch; 5 stars. My attire was probably a little too casual in jeans and a tee...designer jeans and a linen tee, but still, I should have been a few notches more formal, and had this been a dinner crowd, I'd have left out of sheer respect for the decorum. Anyways, the staff are extremely attentive, the food was amazing, the ambience was pleasant, the presentation of the food was better than it tasted..did I say it tasted amazing? I did? Good! Now go, your turn Try this place you won't regret it, but don't look like a pauper and dress up a little nicer than I did

I've been meaning to stop by for awhile now, as I had heard good things about this place. As one of the more upscale restaurants in the area, my expectations were high. Unfortunately they did not quite deliver. When we requested the wine menu, it wasn't available. Apparently it was being redone. This made it a little more challenging to select a glass. We ordered the kabob special as an appetizer instead of main, requesting the meat to be cooked medium. While we were waiting, the server asked if wanted to add another appetizer, as the kabob would take longer to cook. So we went ahead and ordered the empanadas. The kabob came out less than two minutes later. Oh well. While the bacon wrapped shrimp portion of it came out deliciously, the beef was well done and tough. The table side show seemed a bit unnecessary and excessive, as it involved melting a disc of butter over the meat. The empanadas were quite tasty and of good size, though I didn't care for the included basil cream sauce. As for the mains, my dining partner and I split the rack of lamb chops, which came with sautéed zucchini, squash, and carrots. We ordered this medium as per my dining partner's request. As it was being carved table side, I noticed the lack of pinkness, and while the server said it was cooked medium, it was obviously not. I mentioned it to the server as it was served to me plated, and she asked if I would like it remade but mentioned it would take awhile. I said I would give it a try because I didn't want to wait. Well, one bite, and I knew it wasn't going to work. It was cooked well done and was extremely tough and dry. It took quite some time for our server to reappear, and I had to flag her down to have the dish remade. This time I asked her to go ahead and cook it medium rare, as it was my preference and the chef had a pattern now of twice overcooking the meat. While it did take some time, It came out beautifully the second time with a beautiful pink blush, well seasoned, and tender. Pass on the mint pepper sauce that was served with it. I really disliked it. The meal ended with a complimentary tres leches cake which was quite delicious, since we were celebrating a birthday. I wish we could have been given an extra dessert to take home or some other comp for the inconvenience of the lamb fiasco, but none was offered. The lamb ended up costing over eighty dollars at market price, which I felt was a bit steep. All in all, it was a mixed dining experience. The overcooked meat especially dampened our visit, as that was what we were most looking forward to.

From start to finish, this place was excellent! We were that party that showed up 20 minutes to closing and they served us very well. The customer was incredible! The restaurant is beautiful and tastefully decorated and the food was on another level. Guyon (pronounced Gwyn) recommended dishes we went with and were very pleased with. Sea bass and the torrejas for dessert. We also had some empanadas and another dessert I can't recall but the outside was flaky, fresh and tasty with a mango chutney filling. We ended up here after a poor experience at another restaurant, and now I know where to visit every time I visit Houston. It's great food, great prices (compared to Miami) and excellent service. Can't wait to go back! Enjoy!

This restaurant screams upscale. No hats. Flip flops not appropriate. With all the restrictions, the food and service needs to step up. Fortunately, it did. Once our guest doffed his cap, he was deemed appropriate and seated. We showed up two minutes later, ready to indulge. Our server, Davidly, has super interpersonal skills and made the evening pleasant and memorable. She guided us through the menu and helped us pick selections from cocktails to entrees. We started the evening with cocktails, old fashioneds and a Paloma. All were good. The mains were also great. Chimchurri steak, the Braised Short Rib and the platter with three meats were consumed. After dinner coffee selection is stellar.

Great experience! Food was good. Service was excellent. Beautiful room. Parking was easy. We had a little of everything on the menu for our party of six and nothing disappointed. From the drinks to the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts, we were totally pleased. Steaks were cooked to perfection. The sea bass was light & flakey with a marvelous taste. The braised short ribs cooked in Malbec were over the top. And the array of desserts topped off a wonderful meal. However, I do have one regret and that's on a Saturday night this placed wasn't just slammed with customers. It's a poor reflection of this economy that as affluent as Kingwood is supposed to be this establishment had numerous empty tables. People complain online that there are not any good places to eat in Kingwood and this place was half empty. Come on people, drag your a**es out and patronize this fine restaurant before there are even fewer good places to eat in Kingwood. And don't blame it on the weather. Last Saturday night was beautiful.

This restaurant gets it right. Food and service excellent. We had our 14 anniversary lunch here 6/3/23. Executive lunch menu is excellent and a great value with tea, soft drinks or coffee included. The fried plantains with parsley garlic oil dip is amazing. My favorite starter is the ceviche soap and for dessert their flan is to die for. The Argentinian steak and Salmon are my favorite entrees both served with grilled veggies.

Fantastic experience. We made reservations for our wedding anniversary dinner. Everything was delicious. My husband is very picky, and he loved the meal. I had chicken with the crab meat. I could only finish half. I think I filled up too much on the plantain chips. Service was friendly, and it was a beautiful touch to have someone playing a musical instrument in the background. We will definitely be returning!

I hosted a party (18 people) earlier this week. David was our amazing server! And the manager Isidro, made sure we felt welcome and had great service. I realized sometimes large groups are hard to work with. They were awesome attending to all of our needs! Of course, the food is top notch! I had Churrasco A La Chimichuri salad that melted in my mouth! It was a great celebration and I highly recommend hosting events at this restaurant!

It's been a long time since I've dined here. I recently found by happenstance they are operating lunch Monday through Friday and I dropped in. I dined on an exquisite entrée of medium temperature salmon with miso glaze, served over a Portobello mushroom risotto. This was topped off with a mango salsa and a delicious cream sauce. Also included was grilled, potato, squash, carrot and a deep fried plantain. The service was impeccable and what other high end establishments should strive to be.

We went to the Eastern European Wine dinner they hosted last Tuesday and well they exceeded all my expectations! The braised ribs were so fall off the bone tender and the flavor omg just amazing. I wish that we knew they were hosting these monthly wine dinners and we would have came much sooner. I also want to say what a fantastic idea it was to host an Eastern European cuisine dinner because this style of cuisine is definitely something we are sorely lacking in this area Of Houston

The food had excellent flavor, but unfortunately, it arrived at our table cold. The sancocho de pollo I ordered was tasty but lacking in vegetables, and the sirloin special my husband and I shared also had great flavor but was served cold. Despite the delicious taste, we felt that the dishes were overpriced. The service and ambiance were pleasant, and overall, we had no major complaints. However, we were disappointed that our meals were not served hot as we would have expected, especially considering the price we paid. Total was $170 for cold food.

Was really looking forward to this place but was sadly disappointed. Beautiful location. We ordered 3 appetizers and a nice bottle of wine. Our waiter was great up until the food came. For our meal we ordered the butcher board for 3 of us. Medium rare. Lamb was overcooked but ok. Sausage looked unappetizing. Bone marrow was good on its own. But The ribeye was one of the thinnest cuts I've ever seen and under seasoned. We had to ask for salt and pepper. We sent it back twice bc it was over cooked. On the 2nd time another waiter brought it to us and when we cut into it and said it was still overcooked he said "eh, it has some pink in there"! . Who says that to a customer? We know what medium rare looks like. No manager ever came over to ask how it was which was super unprofessional. Will not be going back.

My husband and I came in for Valentine's dinner, and although we've heard rave reviews about this place, we had never been. Our server was Angel, who knew the menu extremely well. I ordered the tropical martini, and my husband had the Manhattan. My husband said it was the best Manhattan he's ever had. I informed Angel of my gluten allergy, and though I don't think they took all precautions to avoid cross-contamination (our appetizer was served with fried and grilled shrimp on the same bed of mashed potatoes), I didn't have severe symptoms like I normally do. I did appreciate the GF items being marked on the menu, and our waiter informed us that they ran out of GF flour, but they usually have it on hand for those who can't eat gluten. We had the lobster bisque sauce on the appetizer and on my plate, and it was incredible. You can honestly share an appetizer and entree because the portions are quite large. Their mashed potatoes are to die for, and the ambiance is incredible. I don't recommend coming here if you're in a rush - they want you to savor the experience. We were here almost two hours, but the time flew by, and we loved watching the sunset on Lake Houston. We will definitely be back!

What a classy, unexpected delight the restaurant is set up beautifully with a modern South American flare to it, almost like walking in out of a Hemingway South American adventure. The food is spectacular to begin with. We were served plantains with chimichurri sauce, which was excellent. I had shrimp empanadas as a starter, and the crust on these empanadas was so flaky and so light, it did not distract from the wonderful pocketful of yummy shrimp and other fixings inside the empanada. I had the Mediterranean chicken soup and the Brazilian house salad both were absolutely brilliant in flavor and plating. My colleague had the 8 ounce Argentinian beef steak and roasted vegetables, which looked so good I wanted to ditch my food for his, he said the steak was spot on Rich flavor beautifully seared with medium rare finish and was almost for tender. The roasted vegetables were crisp, soft, and the flavor really highlighted the steak the cup of coffee I had after lunch almost stole the whole show incredible yummy, coffee, deep, roasted rich flavor, which was totally unexpected. I absolutely love this place. The service was impeccable and friendly with lots of highlights of things to eat. We will be back 100%.

Although it was an ok experience all around, I was pretty unimpressed with this place. There is some level of back up to be expected on a valentine's day, so the wait time was reasonable. Their restroom...was only somewhat clean, with only one working toilet that didn't flush all the way unless you messed with it quite a bit. They have chimichurri sauce with plantain chips, and that was my favorite thing there. Their charcuterie board was a really decent spread as well. Their empanadas had some strange stringy meat inside that kind of made it difficult to enjoy for me, but was fine flavorwise. I got the soft shelled crab over mushroom risotto. I was curious about their famous champagne risotto, so I got that too. It is literally the same thing... The chimichurri steak and ribeye were ok, but kind of disappointing for the pricepoint vs flavor balance. They had complimentary plate that had grilled veggies and rice on it. The carrots were great. The only thing that annoyed me was that he offered me soup or salad, so I assumed that it came with my entree. No. It was a $12 not delicious salad. Like if it was a good Caesar, then whatever... I'd gladly eat the cost. But paying for a bad salad is a sad face moment. The server did really well considering the holiday crowd. One thing I noticed is that if we asked anything of someone not our server, like the hostess or the water filler, it would definitely not get done or answered. Ex: menu question or to go box. Overall, it is somewhere I wouldn't refuse to go eat at, but not one I'd pick to go to myself again.

We used to be regulars before Covid. It was our #1 date night choice for special occasions. To be fair, it has been a couple years since we last visited, however the menu is completely different, and not in a good way. We had steaks, but they weren't the quality we have gotten in the past. I was disappointed to find that they no longer served the plantain chips with chimichurri appetizer. In fact, despite the name, there are hardly any dishes served with chimichurri sauce at all. I ordered the steak with this sauce and it was very bland. No flavor. We finished our meal with absolutely the worst dessert I have ever had at a restaurant. Flan and tres leches cake were both horrible. Sadly, we won't be back.

A top favorite for the area. Everything is done well from seating service to food. However, it would be nice to have wifi available for customers. In my opinion, it would help, I was there to eat and create content that I could not post since the cell service is not the best there, for my phone. When I politely asked about connecting to the in house wifi I was told "  we don't have wifi for customers ". Hmm . We can do better.

We recently flew into Houston to spend time with family and Paul and Diana our host and hostess took us to Chimichurri's for an elegant dinner. We were very happy with their restaurant selection. The restaurant is located on the water which provided amazing ambiance. The service was outstanding and the full bar along with the outstanding food that was prepared and served to us by Gwen our server was excellent. We definitely will be returning to this establishment when back in town.

Disappointing food Fine service Snapper and pistachio: not a good mix. Overwhelmed fish Butterfly shrimp: 4 shrimp for 30$. Bland. Zero flavor. Raw veg to accompany. Yucca fried: a dull veg like this should come with a sauce or something. Batter was tasteless on a tasteless veg. Our fault for ordering but why is this flavorless veg on the menu?

Food was great! Service was good too. The dinning room was a bit crowded and small. We sat a little table which was wobbly. After stating our concerns we were accommodated another table. Over all it was good!

Y'all seriously I'm not sure who's working today but everyone needs to go home and start over . The rain is getting to them . I called to place an order and asked for the fillet with the chimmichurri sauce . The young lady then informed me that there is no filet with chimmichurri sauce only bernaise . I asked her what bernaise was she said I'm not sure it's just a weird sauce . I said is it wine based or no ? She went and asked and to my understanding it's like hollandaise for a steak . I said no you guys have a steam that comes with chimmichurri sauce I order it all the time . I then asked to speak to someone else . I said the name Of the restaurant is literally chimmichurri's im not sure how you guys don't have a chimmichurri steak ........this man says it's not chimmichurri it's called churrasco ....... Churrascos like the restaurant that's not this one lol ? It literally says it on y'all's big ass rug and the bags like what in the world . Everyone go home .

Everything was delicious, loved the empanadas Don Pedro ($14) the provoleta Argentina appetizer ($14) was the best but the charcuterie board ($18) was not as special as it was priced. I had the kabob special - Pinchos ($32) which was amazing, with the champagne risotto ($3 up charge). The kabob was flambé'd tableside, with two bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp, vegetables and two thick and juicy chunks of tenderloin. Everyone else got the chimichurri steak filets (6 Oz $25, 8 Oz $31) which were surprisingly thin, but good. Everything is a la Carte, from $5-$7 per) we had the sautéed mushrooms (excellent), mashed potatoes (pretty bland), whipped cauliflower (delicious) and yuca fries (acquired taste, our son loved them). The side Caesar was $9 but fresh and enough for two to share.Travis was a great waiter, we had five adults and an 11 year old. Not the place to take a two year old! she behaved well and it was her Moms birthday choice, so.... Definitely a special occasion place. It was a $370 dinner so a little over $60 a person (gratuity included). Our bar bill was a good portion- $62 for two wines each for the ladies and two Tito's & Sprite for our son. We had a great time, were seated in the enclosed patio as requested- reservations via Open Table - and were granted one free Tres Leches dessert for our two birthdays. A one time great experience!!! In fairness the restaurant was spotless and they did lose everything in Harvey so we were happy to frequent and have the experience.

It's a nice, quiet, fine dining atmosphere. The staff are really sweet and helpful, and the food wasn't bad. I think it just depends on what you order. I wasn't a huge fan of mine, probably because I came to realize that I don't like risotto. But the escargot Provençal for appetizer was absolutely delightful. And I loved the plantain chips with the green sauce that came with it was so good.

First time in Houston and the surrounding area. Our Great Friends moved here to Kingwood....aka Wonderland! Treated us to dinner to kick off our visit.....epic!!! They have been coming to ChimiChurri for lunches and dinners for a while and knew we would love it!!! Sebastian our waiter for the night was amazing and readily recommended the "special" for the evening a 16 oz. Filet with grilled veggies (for two) we ordered two for our table of four. We started with salad which was very very good....and 100% devoured. Banana chips and Chimichurri dip was a home run. I will be waking up mornings wanting this. Filets were prepared perfectly and plated table side, delicious!! I can absolutely say one of my favorite meals of all time. Fun nite with best friends. Looking forward to next time. :-)

******UPDATE********* I really appreciate Isidro, manager of Chimichurri, reaching out to me regarding my unpleasant experience. He invited me back to the restaurant and made sure that the steaks were cooked properly and all sides tasted amazing. I realize that even the best restaurants can have an off night and Chimichurri really provided customer service and proved to me that I wasn't just a number. I would certainly recommend it to my family and plan on returning. If this is how they respond to a negative review, this restaurant will continue to flourish and be even more successful. Thank you for your response and attention to this matter.

For the price I would've expected more, the steak wasn't flavorful and doubt I'll go back.

Five star all the way. Above all for us was the service by far better than the best fine dining in Houston.
