Actually, the Monday tasting is different because the weekday schedule of the Hotel is different. This means that on Monday we will begin the Tasting at 1130AM, giving us time to have the Lunch start on time and have folks that need to head to the AIrport directly from Lunch get to EZE on time....

In the past, I've taken taxis to get around. Would Uber be a safe and less expensive option now? Many of the restaurant listings in Trip Advisor give an estimated Uber fare.
Do some of the restaurants have WiFi? I'm supposed to have data here but some of my mobile apps don't seem to work unless I'm on WiFi.

So far, I've had taxi fares under AR$200 for reasonably long distances across town but without traffic jams. YMMV.

Given the still somewhat problematic state of affairs with Uber here in Buenos Aires, I would recommend not using the service. Taxis are currently such a great value (in USD terms) that I think that the savings are just not significant and do not repay the potential risks of bumping into a militant unionized Taxi driver that wants to take things into his own hands..... its just not worth it.

EPL was fine. We had the bright idea to order a few steaks to share instead of everyone ordering their own. It cost a lot less and there was still plenty left over.

Lots of very good dead cow and I thought their version of the grilled cheese appetizer was much better than that at Fervor. It was also fun to do the large format wine bottles, Malbec Cab Tannat blend.

Glad to hear..... although communal orders at such a large table can lead to issues with how cooked (or raw) each person likes their meat. I usually suggest doing shared orders amongst pairs rather than chinese style throw everything in the middle, but no matter - I guess it all worked out in the end.
