Fodor's Expert Review Bandoneón

Entering Bandoneón you might think you're in Buenos Aires. The broad menu features starters like smoked marlin and charcoal-grilled provolone cheese; mains include pasta, fish, and chicken—but steak is the star. The sizzling rib eye is extremely tender; however, health-conscious diners should request a leaner cut. If you still have room, order the brandy-soaked cake roll with caramel filling for dessert. Every detail here replicates the streets of Argentina, right down to the cobblestone floors and dramatic tango music. Walls are adorned with antique bandoneons (concertinas, similar to the accordion) and paintings of tango dancers.  With 160 seats, this place can be a bit chaotic; reservations are recommended Thursday through Saturday.
