In a nondescript area of the famed Melrose Avenue tucked between a lingerie shop called Agent Provacateur and a clothing boutique called Lotta, is Carlitos Gardel restaurant. From its location and simple black awning, one might anticipate an interesting throwback night club upon entering. What you'll find instead is chicly designed Argentinean Steakhouse appealing to plenty of 'eye candy' and... More

Very nice atmosphere and servers. Everybody was helpful and knowledgeable. Portabella $12 - Grilled Portabella Mushroom, layered with melted provolone cheese, sautéed spinach and feta cheese - very good, of course, because it's smothered in melted cheese! Pasta Di Mare $22 - Fettuccine tossed with mussels, shrimps and mushrooms, in your choice of tomato or cream sauce - HORRIBLE! Completely... More

Located in a strip of shops in West Hollywood, Carlitos Gardel is my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. Whenever I fly through L.A., I make it a point to get together with local friends there. The food is spectacular the the wine choices are excellent. It is a little dark and moody inside, which I love. The service is top... More

Two of us for lunch -- seriously the best lunch I have had for many, many moths. The food was outstanding and the wine, even some of the cheaper glasses complemented it well. Service could not be faulted. Altogether a very memorable lunch, and the food and service made it special! Really, I cannot rate it too highly.
