"My European colleagues and I were in Uster for work when I spotted an Argentinian steakhouse. As a Brazilian who loves Argentinian culture and gaucho barbecue (Argentina, Uruguay and south of Brazil), I convinced them to try it. I had enjoyed my honeymoon in Buenos Aires and knew the food would be great. On our first visit, the kitchen was closed, so we returned the next day, at 7PM, only to be disappointed. The waiter informed us there were no seats inside but suggested the garden. When we said we wanted to eat, he warned it would rain soon (it didn’t). I insisted we didn’t mind and ordered Quilmes beers. Strangely, the waiter brought the payment machine immediately, which was unusual in my years in Europe. When I asked again about dining, the waiter claimed it wasn’t possible due to the impending rain and lack of indoor seats. His excuses felt insincere and reminded me of dubious ones I’d heard before. It seemed they either distrusted us, thinking we might try to scam and run without paying or didn’t want to serve us, despite other tables being attended to. This was humiliating and frustrating, as we had the means to pay. I was extremely disappointed, unable to enjoy a good chorizo, some papa fritas, and maybe an alfajor. I refrain from giving a one-star review out of respect for the potential quality of the food and my admiration for Argentine culture, but I can’t hide my frustration. This is sad, as I remember a colleague from the Swiss company mentioning how good the restaurant is."
