"R40 is for meat lovers. That is, two lovers who really like to eat meat. The Argentinian BBQ restaurant is one of the best options in LIC for a special date or celebratory dinner, in what feels like a fancy getaway house upstate. An obvious choice would be the $120 parrillada platter for two, but that might leave you too full to try all of the other non-grilled dishes. The crab empanadas, focaccia, and seasonal vegetable dishes, like zucchini carpaccio, are worth making room for too." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
"R40 is for meat lovers. That is, two lovers who really like to eat meat. Carnivores can have a pretty steamy date night in Long Island City at this Argentinian BBQ restaurant, which feels like a fancy getaway house upstate with woodsy candle lit interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a greenhouse patio. Order the $105 parrillada platter for two, which comes with more than enough steak, ribs, chorizo, blood sausage, chicken, and sides to get you full. Add a bottle of red from the wine cellar below, and a slice of chocolate olive oil cake, and you’re set." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"As the saying goes, the nose knows. These are words to live by at this vibrant Argentinian parilla. With big meats sizzling over a roaring grill, a subtle smoke wafts through the long dining room, built out of sleek wood, exposed brick and dangling greenery. When the nights are cool, the party is further back out on the well-tended patio. Everything here is meant to be shared, starting with the hearty empanadas that come stuffed with everything from filet mignon and raisins to pork shoulder and potatoes. Housemade pastas and chicken milanesa are always tempting, but first timers should dig into favorites like skirt steak with chimichurri. Only serious appetites should order the combination platter featuring steak, ribs, chorizo and sweetbreads." - Michelin Inspector

Carnivores can have a pretty steamy date night in Long Island City at this Argentinian BBQ restaurant, which feels like a fancy getaway house upstate with woodsy candlelit interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a greenhouse-like back patio. A wine cellar, visible under a glass floor, adds to that fantasy. There's a $105 platter for two that gives you a lot of meat for your money—but that leaves little room to explore the other, non-grill sections of the menu. Instead, get individual plates of steak or pork chops, and order crab empanadas, fluffy focaccia, and seasonal vegetable dishes like zucchini carpaccio on the side." - Neha Talreja
