My friend's husband has wanted to go to Santa Maria del Sur http://www.santamariadelsur.co.uk/index.html ever since Gordon Ramsey's TV program that searched for Britain's best restaurant. Santa Maria was one of the contenders with their Argentinian beef, grilled over open flames in the kitchen. However, being on TV also means that you can't get a table for months and months.. so my friend Karin finally managed to get a reservation for an early dinner only at 6:15pm on the 12th of June.. we didn't realise it until a week prior to the dinner but England was also playing the USA that evening in the World cup!
So upon arrival our partners were ever so quick in ordering food and drink in order to eat and move on to a pub to watch the footie.. charming! ;-)

Anyway.. none of the starters looked enticing so we all ended skipping starters and ordering big hunks meat for mains instead with sides of chips and sauces. This is actually a very rustic restaurant that has very good argentinian meat.. and that is what you come here for. The atmosphere is great and they have lots of nice red wines on the menu. We were too full for dessert and left to watch the second half of the football.. turns out we didn't miss much ;-)
