"It’s an awesome place with an awesome staff. And the location couldn’t be better. One thing to keep in mind if you’re a tourist to Argentina is most places do not open for dinner until 8 PM. San Rafael is a smaller city in the wine country and does take the traditional 1 PM Siesta very seriously."
