They even messed up on the description of one of their desserts and when we pointed that out they comped it! That is something that is so rare in Argentina. I have since recommended this place to anyone who would listen. And no, I can´t remember what the mistake was. I do remember the service and the food being excellent though.

I do use a flash, and I used to get odd looks, and sometimes someone from the restaurant would even come over to ask why I was taking photos - but these days, so many people do, and with the increase in tourism, I'm just one of many snapping shots in a dining room. I tried without the flash, but find that on closeup work they don't come out well.

The presentation is nice but you did great work with the photography. Curious, what kind of camera are you using? It looks like you are using a flash, does anyone ever look twice at you--especially in nicer restaurants? The baby squid picture and desert picture are my favorites. Nice work!
