El Baqueano sounds like a really good restaurant, but I'm traveling solo. Would it be weird to get a reservation for one?
Any other recommendations for a solo traveler who is really into grilled meats and trying new things? First time to Argentina/BA. I have 4 days in BA, and I love to eat.
I prefer casual with really good food. Not much of a wine drinker (more of a beer guy but probably won't be drinking much regardless). I like fancy/expensive, but only if the food is that good.

In fact, dinner was excellent last night. Dinner for the set menu plus an extra course, a glass of bubbles, a bottle of wine, 3 bottles of water, with tip, came to approx. US$50 a person. (This was with "Dolar Blue" exchange, and paying in cash, which gives a 10% discount there.) We also discussed with the owner how it would be for a solo diner, and she encouraged it, and said it would be a good experience.
For reference, this same dinner would have been at least 3 to 4x the price in the USA.
