Food, the best ! tasty, real flavor, service good, the steak take abit longer but sooooooo worth it!!!
Desserts wowoowow!
Decent prices,
We got there (we had a reservation), the place was empty but the waiter, who was in the back of the restaurant, made us wait for about 10 minutes without even coming to greet us (he just waived his hand).
The menu seemed interesting (bife de chorizo, entraña, milanesa, chorizo, etc). We got one bife de chorizo, one entraña, and one parrillada, all with french fries.
The bife the chorizo was more like a cheap cut from walmart. It didn't look like bife de chorizo, it didn't taste like bife de chorizo... I believe it wasn't a bife de chorizo at all :).
The parrillada was a mix of bad pieces of meat put together. And the fries... were frozen (McCain?) fries..
The place is bizarre.. The music was first reggaeton, then salsa and merengue, nothing less argentine than that..
The only good thing was the wine.. that helped us stay there and "enjoy".
I have never been in a worst restaurant in my life.
The service was horrible, the waiter didn't know anything about the menu, but he made things up to cover his ignorance and mislead us.
Let me explain first that when we arrived it was almost empty, only one table was taken.
We order some appetizers, it took forever to bring them.
The "empanadas" was an option as an appetizer and that we ordered, but instead of empanadas they were perogies, yes fried perogies.
Then we ordered "parrilla" it was supposed to be a kind of bbq. In the menu it was listed what items were included.
Well there were not all of them there and the meat tasted fried instead of grilled. When we complain about the missing items, the waiter order them. When we were ready to leave the brought them to the table and some of those were still raw. It looks like they were frozen before.
I don't recommend this place, they really don't know what they are doing, it is very expensive and it is a total scam!
As one the owners of Las Brasas, Id like to invite to our regular and new clients to our restaurant. Everybody can personally check our service and our food, and of course our price list, nothing is hidden, everything is here to be enjoyed. We are always open to suggestions and of course we understand that we can sometimes make mistakes, but when that happens we react quickly, we understand that our business is based on quality food and quality service. I have access to check our reservations system, customer service system, client data base, etc,; we have different reservations for different ocassions, but none for Steven and his unhappy birthday. We trust on our people and what we do, that's why we have loyal customers, and, of course we pay attention to any complain, but no complain was received from this person.
If the situation was real, why the complain was not made on time to the right person?.
We think that some people has time enough to try to boicot places, not only this, but many others just because they are not happy with their own lives, which is ok. Here at las Brasas we enjoy and we do everything we can to please our customer, we are no hidden, we are not a profile behind internet, we have an address a tasty menu and our doors are always open for our regulars and new customers. Thanks
I visitid Las Brasas this week for second time with friends and family, I have to say that we had an amazing time, the music was good, the environment ok and what they do best is the Parrilla, which is mix of grilled meats. The place is small though and gets busy and loud... but its nice to have a place like this in Toronto. The only issue is I think we waited around 20 mnts for our Parrilla.
But one thing that really turns me off is when an owner calls a customer a liar when all they did was read a story on a blog. Sure there are probably haters out there, but your establishment should speak for itself. It does make me wonder what kind of service I would receive from an owner that easily jumps to conclusions like this. In this case, the customer is not always right, it seems.
Table of four people. Took forever to order drinks. Once we got our drinks, they were wrong. Server Brought out bread an "salsa", but no plates. Once the plates were brought out , one fork was missing. Asked for a fork 3 times. Took forever to order food and round two of drinks. Apps were ordered but never got served. Drinks were wrong again and main was served while still waiting for fork! One more drink was ordered...a vodka soda....when served it def was not vodka. Server had no idea what it was but did say bar was out of vodka. So rather than come back to tell us that, the bartender decided to make some random drink. Dessert was ordered but not served.
We were charged for the apps we never received, and the mystery drink that was sent back. The waiter argued that we did in fact get the apps.
The food was ok. The music was lame and annoying.
I should say that the server did try to make up for it by giving us free pisci sours and a free half liter o wine, but seriously.... How many times can you screw up???? The free stuff did not make up for our "wasted night out".
I would never go back nor would I recommend the place again.
Pancakes are to be served cold or hot if dessert, unlike wraps or crepes which aren´t from Argentina. In general, more than one month is needed to understand Argentina. Everybody´s experiences are different according to our mood, what we expect, the way we treat people and the way we want to be treated. Our experience as a family is pretty satisfactory with this place. Good Luck!
One advise for Canadians, be open minded to try new places and dont expect always what we always expect... for me, places like Las Brasas are more relaxed, they wouldnt kill anyone to serve a customer... if you know what I mean, that isnt bad service... is a different approach to the customers.
Guys if you see my review... Thanks again for the party!!! and sorry for our mess!!! Carla.
We are part of the Argentinian community in toronto, these guys are far to be a shame for our country as they are always helping out people and doing non profit activities at their resto. People should be more responsible with what they say/write regardless whether they are or not happy with their own lives. Andá a cagar!
Chileans are cool and sophisticated and their food: Just exquisite! Salud! I'll go back and bring more people.
