Buenos Aires Restaurant in Maidstone

We went on Saturday for my mum's birthday, it was my first time at the venue but I doubt I would be returning. The food was lovely and the service was friendly but unfortunately that's where the positives end. The first negative I want to address is that I'm thankful I didn't go for the starter that 4 people on my table had as one person had ordered the spinach pastry and everyone had to swap around the starters to make sure they had the correct ones, I have a iron efficiency so I can't have spinach or I get really ill, I wasn't asked about any dietary requirements and only saw the allergy and intolerance message in the desert and cocktail menus handed to us after the main. The main meals were served with the steak coming out first and the people who had starters didn't get cutlery to replace the ones used for starters until after everything came out by which time the steaks were just about warm and my partner had to chase up the sauce for my steak as our server had started taking another tables order without checking we had everything. Me and my niece were considering ordering desert so a lovely member of waiting staff brought us over the desert menu but unfortunately we didn't see the original server for about 40 minutes so we just went up to the bar to ask for the bill. My sister then asked for the service charge to be taken off and asked what else could be taken off to which the server apologized and was attentive as possible and went off to find out what could be removed..... sometimes a open kitchen isn't the best especially when you see the chef throw the bill back at the waiter. All in all, my mum didn't enjoy her birthday meal and we wasn't impressed, especially with the prices as high as they are.

No draft beer, only overpriced bottled lager, expensive night out didn't think it was value for money, as for the 12.5 % gratuity that was steep as well

I had a a very good evening as always at Buenos Aires, food was excellent steaks cooked to perfection, service was impeccable very professional, atmosphere was good not to loud, I was in a group of four, two of my group hadn't been before and they/we all thoroughly enjoy it. I would highly recommend this steak house, it's not cheap but good quality. , I've been on numerous occasions and have always had good service and food. A big thumbs up to ALL that work there BIG THANKS MARK

Please come to this restaurant. The food was amazing! We had the experience platter and it was soooo tasty, the meat was cooked perfectly! Great service too! Highly recommended 🤘

Really enjoyed my anniversary dinner at this place. Service was excellent and the food was brilliant. I will definitely visit again. Highly recommended

Fillet steak had a terrible cheese like odour and taste, although the restaurant offered to re-cook, it arrived after everyone else had finished their meal. We ended up rejecting the new meal. Such a shame as this use to be a great restaurant, but we will not be returning.

Been looking forward to our night out buy what a disappointment. Over priced dried out steak. Tiny portions and a total let down. One positive was staff were fantastic and very attentive. We won't be revisting !

A little expensive... considering that the meat is from the area... Tasty but if you want to enjoy a good piece it is very expensive. The service is average, there are excellent waiters and others mediocre... To try

Steak was great, service was great, ate early so the atmosphere was a bit flat.

Mind blow to the taste buds, cooked to perfection, ambience was spot on. I'll be returning. Thank you for a pleasant evening.

Best restaurant in Maidstone for a steak. Lovely cocktails. Needs to be a go to for a good meal.

Visited based on good reviews for a Kent Steak House. The 3 steak eaters thoroughly enjoyed their meal, one saying it was the best they had had in years! The burger was also really good. Oh, and the olives were raved about as well! We will definitely be visiting again!

Hands down one of the best steakhouses in Kent

The steak tasted absolutely amazing, was cooked well. Dessert was delicious. Service was outstanding, very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Would definitely be going back there again. Would highly recommend. First class.

Spectacular food, very calm and relax place. Service is very good.

We have eaten here many times. My husband loves the steak he choses here over many steak places. We took other people with us this time and they really liked it as well.

Great night. Food was prompt and amazing. Thanks again

Amazing service and even better food! I had the best time celebrating my birthday here and will definitely be back for more 10/10 will always recommend. Drinks are strong as well extra points

The steak (Lomo) here is fab, highly recommend. Little pricey but delicious.

Very nice friendly staff, great tasting food , had the set menu to try, was tasty and great sauce flavours too , quick service,

The most amazing steak we've ever tasted. Prompt,cuteous service, couldn't ask for better.

As always, Jay was super helpful in assisting me to retrieve a voucher. The service and food was very good. We regularly eat there and every time is great.

Excellent steak & great service. Best Morcilla I’ve had outside Spain.

I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and inviting ambience. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring a seamless dining experience. The restaurant's warm, rustic decor created a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere perfect for a memorable evening out. Loved the wine, creamed spinach, corn mash and massive Queen olives. However, while the steaks were deliciously seasoned and cooked to perfection, they arrived only lukewarm, which was a slight disappointment in an otherwise stellar meal. Despite this, Buenos Aires remains a top choice for its outstanding service and delightful setting.

Food was really nice. I had the empanadas starter and steak main! Was delicious. Staff were very helpful and very polite! I would definitely return (note I came from London so this was well worth it).

Went here for my boyfriends 30th birthday, lovely service and amazing food

I recently went to Buenos Aires for dinner with my partner. When I arrived I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcoming. The food was impeccable, delicious and very well presented. The atmosphere was so inviting, I will definitely be returning.

Great food!! Great service!! We will be back again 😁😁😁

Amazing night! Lovely staff! Food was also so good.

Food was really nice and atmosphere was lovely. Service was good when we had it but there was a lot of waiting around. Drinks took quite a while to come and Our plates were collected and asked if we wanted dessert, we said yes. After 20 minutes of nobody coming back to take our order we decided to go. It took 3 attempts to try and pay.

Superb steak better than miller carter nearby It is expensive I guess but it’s worth it Great for special occasions

Had to change my review after 2 years wow what a shame. Used to be so good, the last 2 times I've come they've got the order either entirely wrong or missed a meal and somebody has had to eat entirely on their own after everybody else. Is it that difficult to get an order right the place is completely empty other than us? What a shame the steaks were cooked wrong and they forgot a meal completely. Won't be coming back unfortunately. Also, make sure you order the right chorizo as a starter as one of them is actually just a Cumberland sausage, I wish i could tell you which one is the good one but roll the dice and good luck. Manager very rude when complaining although completely fair complaints. Oh deary me.

We were so disappointed with the food at Buenos Aires! We payed £77.95 for the steak sampler in the photo. Only the fillet steak was tasty, the others were really chewy and flavourless. They had clearly all just been chucked on a grill regardless of which cut they were. The two sides were single portions so you had half each to work with. The ‘sauces’ were also in the smallest little pots and one of them is oil based, so more like a dressing than a sauce. We asked for some blue cheese to go with and that came out in an actual ramekin. We had the flan casero afterwards as we still had plenty of space. This tasted nice but it was split, the texture was grainy and so we didn’t finish it. We were served by a really helpful lady and the food came out quickly, but for over £100 for a meal, we expected so much more. Really gutted to go to a steakhouse and not get good steak!

Located in the heart of Maidstone, from the outside the resturant looks quite small but is surprisingly spacious inside. A great atmosphere and amazing food would highly recommend for anyone who loves steaks.

Fantastic staff couldn’t have been more helpful and five stars all round - Thank you so much - Victoria

Service was amazing, food was the best steak I have ever had. Just overall amazing

Excellent food Got of to a bad start as the wine was of However it was changed immediately without a fuss The steak was amazing

We will 100% revisit. The food was amazing and the staff were patient and friendly!

Second time I have been in the last few months. Outstanding food, great wine choices and the cocktails are delicious! The staff were lovely, very helpful and just overall great. Would recommend this resturant to everyone who asks !

Came here for a solo steak (while waiting to pick up my teenage son from his first date) and as solo meals go, it was perfect. Steak beautifully cooked, lovely glass of Malbec, the waitress Patricia was attentive without being overwhelming, and the atmosphere was exactly what you want from an Argentinian steak house, down to the low level jazz in the background. Can’t recommend enough.

Brilliant food and service but expensive. Recommend for special occasion

Best steaks in town and great service. Great bottle of Malbec as well

The steak tasted amazing one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Prices are decent for the cut. After many disappointing visits at other steak restaurants this was by far the best one and only one we will attend . The staff are always helpful too

Lovely steak and environment. Friendly staff. Good value.

Had a beautiful meal here! The food was served in a timely manner and so delicious. The service was also wonderful, a special mention to Charlotte who was so great, especially with us being slightly nervous bringing our 6 week old baby with us! You made us feel perfectly comfortable thank you so much :) 10/10 experience!

Amazing food. Fillet steak melts in the mouth. Chips are crispy on the outside , fluffy in the inside . Gorgeous . We visit the Maidstone restaurant regularly, had a bad experience last Sunday 14/4/24 but went again on Friday & things were back to amazing . 👍

I was a party of 4 and we were the only people in the restaurant all evening(Tuesday night) Our waiter was lovely and very friendly, the food was amazing as always the only thing I will say is the cocktails are much more expensive in comparison to other restaurants I've been too so really pushed the bill up at the end. Will definetly come back again though😊

Disappointed cold in restaurant, had to ask for mash potato to be reheated as cold when served, chicken very dry to eat. Would not recommend, will not be eating there again.

Never disappoints. Great food, excellent service.

Amazing service and wonderful food. I am very particular about my steak and this is easily the best steakhouse in town. The staff are very polite and the venue itself is a beautiful and romantic spot. Really happy with the experience

After visiting Buenos Aires Nights Steakhouse in Maidstone, I can confidently say that it was indeed a top-notch dining experience. The steaks were exceptional, cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed and well taken care of. The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, with a cozy and elegant ambiance that added to the overall dining experience. The wine selection was impressive, offering a wide range of options to complement the delicious meal. Without a doubt, this steakhouse is a must-visit for steak lovers looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

Fantastic food, very friendly staff. Steak cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the mushroom sauce with the steak! Staff all friendly and helpful, very quick service. Would definitely recommend and will most definitely be visiting again!

Service was brilliant along with the food itself. We got the platter between two of us and it was plenty! Staff were lovely and welcoming and tended to us very well. We will definitely be back and we can’t wait!

Haven’t been here for a while and decided to come for food again and I was so pleased I made that choice. From walking in the door we were served with a smile and seated at our table with being able to order in a timely fashion without being rushed. The starters and steaks were amazing and cooked to perfection! I would not go anywhere else for steak! The team were amazing all serving with a smile and ensuring every guest had what they needed! They made the night extra special! Thankyou buenos Aries! I cannot wait to come back

Whilst the service was good we unfortunately suffered awful food poisoning resulting in myself and my partner being off work for 4 days. We both hadn’t eaten during the day and saved ourselves for this meal and then became very ill within a few hours. Despite raising this with the restaurant manager we was not given a satisfactorily report outlining their investigation but simply told that no one else reported food poisoning so couldn’t have been there restaurant which I fail to believe. I really don’t like complaining or leaving a negative review but feel strongly that this needs to be put on here as we was both extremely poorly!

Buenos Aires is where it's at if you're craving some top-notch steak and killer service. Seriously, this place is the real deal. Let's talk about the fillet steak—it's like a slice of heaven on a plate. But what really seals the deal is the service. Jay knows how to treat you right. She’s on it without being all up in your business, and her recommendations are on point. So, if you're in the mood for a taste of Argentina with a side of awesomeness, do yourself a favor and hit up Buenos Aires. You won't regret it.

Great place, amazing food, lovely service, a bit pricey 🤭

A complete shambles place needs closing down the meat was grey and had to send it back. Staff was extremely poor

Been a long time since a steak tasted so good. Cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly. Highly recommend

Great steak, but everything else is mediocre, under seasoned, with poor / average service. Waited for jug of water that never arrived, staff too busy and not interested, food just bland, no wow factor

Great steak, don't bother with anything else, fiercely overpriced and mediocre service. Really object to a 'forced' service charge but couldn't be bothered to argue.

Great steaks, buts that's all. Very very expensive for what you get. There's no doubt, Argentinian steak is some of the best in the world and that was good. The salad is pretty poor / average, Tesco mixed salad with some dressing for £6. Peppercorn sauce, bland. Many things needed seasoning, a bit of salt and pepper. One pudding was inedible and sent back - credit to staff there, but we waited for the bill, for drinks, for a water jug that never arrived .... I absolutely object to having a 10% service charge automatically added. As I didn't want the embarrassment of a discussion that would have spoilt the night; I paid. Shame because we have another celebration next month but it won't be here.

We had a fantastic meal Beunos Aires, our third or fourth visit. The food was amazing, the steaks juicy and brilliantly well cooked, and the service was to a great standard. We'll done guys, we look forward to coming back.

Great food, tables are a bit small and cramped, you can eat and have a drink but you can't stay and enjoy the company your with as you only get an hour and half to have a 3 course meal

Great food and service. Would highly recommend to others.

Worth every penny. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and accommodating and place has a great atmosphere. Thanks all for a great night :)

The food was lovely I cant complain at all service was good too although something was missing from my plate and I hated having to tell the servers as I hate looking like a complainer but they bought my missing tomato to me

Highly recommend this place. Best steak I've ever had, sometimes you just wanna pay that bit more for something special and this ticked the boxes.

Steak was amazing, I ordered the rump but was so tender it tasted like a fillet. Cooked amazingly throughout and cut like butter. Atmosphere and service great too! Can’t wait to come again

Had a lovely early valentine’s day dinner here this evening. front of house staff were attentive, helpful and informative. Lovely meal, steak was beautiful but the real standouts from this meal were the peppercorn sauce and the fluffy chips. great choice of wine. great atmosphere for a private evening.

The best tasting steaks & lovely setting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We ordered Rib eye steaks and considering the price I was expecting a nice steak. The quality of these steaks were really poor and we have actually had nicer home cooked steaks from Aldi which was truly disappointing. We wouldn't return for this reason.

Rib Eye steak very disappointing, whilst I am conscious it is a fatty cut, half of it was inedible (extremely hard chewy fatty pieces. Certainly not the quality from a place charging Michelin Star prices! I pointed the fattiness out to the waitress who said she would take up with the chef .... but did not and we heard nothing from the manager or Maitre De (the short haired lady) ..... we were presented with a 'full' bill. My wife's fillet steak was very nice. We are fair people and we know the difficulties hospitality has had throughout and post pandemic ... so we paid to support the restaurant. I expect to receive some feedback from the restaurant ... if not, we will not be going back.

We are regulars to the restaurant and it never disappoints. The manager is always so friendly and takes time to speak with all customers. The food was great as always.

Amazing stakes, we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Too expensive for food and location.

Great steaks! Good wine (Malbec). Friendly service!

A great steak Busy on a Saturday night so best to book

I cannot recommend enough…. My son wanted to take me to London to another well known famous Argentine steak restaurant for my birthday 🥳 but I couldn’t make a journey like that as I had been unwell…. So he checked reviews and the website (typical millennials 😂) and found this amazing place! Well I am so glad we changed our plans and he discovered Buenos Aires in Maidstone…. The most delicious, melt in the mouth ribeye steak I have ever had the pleasure to taste, I didn’t want the meal to end! The calamari starter was amazing too…. We had a lovely time, staff were lovely, attentive, but not crowding, lovely atmosphere, perfect for a special date, or occasion. We will be back again very soon, my mouth is already watering at the prospect 🤤

This is the second time we have eaten in this restaurant, spent about £220 for the two of us. meal was great wine was fantastic, seemed very busy but no drop in service to when we last came here, staff efficient and very friendly, dinning room very clean and tidy and modern. The only thing I never like in any restaurant is the gratuity being added to the bill automatically, I always like to leave cash for a tip, apart from that excellent evening

This was our first time at this restaurant, and I'm sorry to say we won't be back. The food was fantastic, that can't be faulted, but a 45 min wait for a starter followed by another 45 min wait for steaks is not acceptable, especially when a table for 4 cost us over £200. Very disappointed to say the least.

From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent throughout the evening, I had been before, but I took my brother & sister in law for dinner, they were very impressed with whole evening, as was I Thankyou for a lovely & memorable evening

First visit to this restaurant will definitely be going back everything about it was very professional

Excellent food and services all round. Highly recommend. Steak was cooked perfectly

Lovely restaurant. Relaxing atmosphere and music. Delicious food.

Over priced rubbish. If a specialist steak restaurant can’t cook a ribeye steak perfectly first time then they are failing at all levels. Creamed spinach dry and tiny portion. Green beans a mix of over cooked / cooked and /under cooked which is a feat in itself. Harvester/beefeater level of cooking. Do not go here if you want value for money and good steak

It's been one of my favourite restaurants for many years and today's steak was as good as ever.

Putting it simply do not eat here If you want this level of cooking go to harvester or beefeater as this is over priced for what it is. A dedicated steakhouse that can’t cook a £40 steak to perfection is quite literally failing at all levels. Creamed spinach that is dry is unacceptable and green beans that arrive as a variety of overcooked/undercooked and cooked well is a simply a feat in itself. Can’t really say how over priced and under whelming this is as a restaurant.

Food was great. Drinks were good but value for money on some drinks was appalling. Didn’t mind paying £7 for a bottle on beer BUT did take offence at being charged almost £7 for a soda and lime for my children. Three drinks of soda and lime costing almost £20. Which I considered an absolute rip off. When challenged I was offered a refund for one drink. Other venues charge considerably less. Sad to say, loved the food, liked the Restuarant but won’t be going back….. will head to Miller & Carter.

Although they was short staffed they handled things very well. Starters wasn’t excellent but ok. Steak was spot on and perfectly cooked.

Lovely staff and quick service. Food was amazing. Chorizo in Malbec was a highlight and the steaks were like butter ! Will return for more !

Steak was excellent quality. Burgers extremely underwhelming and sides a little sad. Cocktails tasty but lacking in alcohol, like single or small measures had been used. Steak was literally a piece of steak and some chips. Overpriced sauces on the side were okay but silly additional costs, plus we don’t realise there would be zero veg on the side. Service was great, very open happy and helpful, but specially for an early sitting the price tag just wasn’t worth it. Would have settled for an inferior steak, but also would have appreciated a better selection of flavours and sides in a generic steak chain such as Miller & Carter (and I am not a big fan of their misplaced belief they’re anything but a polished Beefeater). Put simply - really good steak, but the bang just not worth the buck.

I've been to many many steak houses all over. And this is bar far the best. Amazing food. Steaks are on point and the staff are great.

My partner and I came here just before Christmas for a date night. We were served the loveliest meal either of us have had for a while. The quality of the food is nothing short of exceptional, as was the service we experienced. We were checked on multiple times and our water jug was refilled as soon as we had finished it. We were more than happy with our meal here and will definitely be back.

The staff were brilliant, it was extremely busy with Christmas party's but the staff done a great job.The onion salad was poor just red onion and cherry tomatoes other than that the food was great chips were best I've had for a long time

The back of the restaurant was draughty so I had to keep my cardigan on. The Christmas meal was a washout. Wouldn’t recommend it especially the potatoes. The waitress was really good.

We visited on a Wednesday evening, we thought it might be busier being a few weeks before Christmas, but for the majority of the evening, my wife and I were the only 2 customers there, so that obviously impacted the ambience to quite a large degree. Couldn’t fault the food though, steaks were excellent and the 2 female staff were pleasant and attentive.

It was a really lovely birthday meal and our waiter was excellent, they were so patient with us especially when it came to figuring out what we wanted, it was also nice that all the food came in it at once even considering the fact that we had quite a large group! And the food was delicious, me and my partner have already said we will definitely be coming back

Myself and my partner go here every year for our birthdays and anniversary and have never had a bad meal, so on Thursday 30th November we thought of no better place to spend the evening From the moment we walked in we were greeted by nothing but friendly, smiley and very professional staff. from the host (Mia) to the chefs. The food was perfect, the atmosphere was amazing. The service as always to the highest standard and did not fail this time either. Our waitress for the evening was a young lady called Patty, we remember her on our last visit (i believe our last visit was her first shift so shy but amazing that evening too) and she was as nothing less than perfect this time either. What an amazing young lady and a real assets to the staff at BA. I've worked in and around the catering industry for over 2 decades and I would be honored to have the staff at your restaurant working in one of my teams. Thank you so much to Mia, Patty and the chefs at BA Nights for yet another amazing dinner and evening.

As always a great meal out, special thanks to patty and Lexie for amazing service 👌
