Libertador Steakhouse - Brooklyn

This was my first time at this restaurant. My boyfriend and I went to dinner on New Year's Eve and our reservation was for 7 PM. The place is not very big and it was packed. It was also very loud. The food was very good. the staff was very friendly and helpful, but we only stayed about an hour because we could barely hear each other talk. I would definitely like to go back to this restaurant, but I will pick a day that's not a holiday and maybe go a little earlier in the day.

My bff and I came here for my pre nyc marathon dinner and let me tell you I was certainly not disappointed. She made reservations and when I arrived the place was pretty empty, but it was still early. I perused the menu and started out with a ham and cheese empanada as well as a spinach empanada. When my friend arrived shortly after the empanadas came out and they were hot, fresh, crispy, and so good. We split them and considered getting more! I had the ribeye which was a huge portion, cooked to medium perfection, full of flavor and some fat. For the side I chose the mashed potatoes and they were buttery soft. My friend had the braised short rib with sweet potato and I was so jealous of the flavor of her dish I wish I had ordered it. The short rib was pull apart perfection. The sweet potatoes were amazing! We shared the Brussels sprouts Caesar salad and it was definitely heavy on the dressing, but the sprouts were so fresh and crunchy. We both were so full we skipped dessert but this little gem we will certainly visit again! Quaint place, great and attentive service. Prices affordable.

Swing by for some steak and eggs for brunch and the short ribs were perfectly cooked! They were juicy and tender! Great cappuccino! Staff was so friendly and nice! Loved the homemade bread and butter!

We went to dinner on Saturday evening at the Libertador. It has been a couple of years since we ate at this restaurant.The food was delicious.They have a full bar, but their Sangria is one of the best drinks on the menu.We started with the ham and cheese empanadas and Burrata with tomatoe confit.Both apps were delicious.I had the filet with fresh cut garlic fries.The filet was cooked perfectly and the fries were hot and delicious. The chimichuri is outstanding.The restaurant was quiet around 7 that evening.Service was pretty good.Highly recommend if you are looking for a delicious steak in this part of Brooklyn

Food was good service was ok. The place is cozy lol that's the nice way to say it lol but it was cool. Just don't be of a certain size. You have to squeeze by ppl to get to you table.

We came here for a date night and it did not disappoint. The candles are also real, which really sets the mood. To start, we got an order of two empanadas ($10). We chose the beef and spinach & cheese flavors. The empanadas were the only thing that I wasn't too impressed with as the pastry outside was soft instead of crispy. The spinach flavor also tasted too mushy for the filling.For the meal, we paired it with a bottle of Malbec ($50). If you're here with two people, I'd highly recommend the Mixed Grill for 2 ($72.95). This also comes with a side of mash potatoes or fries, which we opted for the latter. The fries were so crispy and delicious, so pick that option. Now all the meats come sizzling hot on a grill brought to your table. There's plenty of food and we were both stuffed by the end of the meal. My favorite piece was definitely the NY strip, although all the beef was yummy.At the end of the meal, you get a platter of sweets brought to you filled with Lindt chocolates and freshly baked cookies. The service here was also very attentive as well. While I can't say anything was the best I've had, but the experience and ambiance was great and food was still solid.

Basic. Drinks are mediocre and the food was bland. I'm not sure how they are still open.

Worth the trip from Manhattan to visit this place. Charming surroundings complemented the delicious food. I had the skirt steak and it was flavorful and very tender. Great service -- everyone was friendly and attentive.

This place has really good food, a great atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Haven't reviewed lately but absolutely had to after going here, a really great experience. It made me wonder why other places aren't as good, and I also wanted to sing "If I were a rich man" because it made me feel like I was having a high class experience. We were there for "Copa America", there was an indoor space and outdoor, one air conditioned, other obviously not. We tried both and management was very accommodating to the change, even though they'd already set us up, so if you are a Gemini always changing their mind, as my partner is, then this place will work for you. The wait service was old fashioned in a good way, dressed up and just THERE. They had great attitudes, and didn't seem like actors moonlighting as servers. One great touch was after serving drinks one said, "cheers", they totally made it an even better experience.I hate going to places where service is great but food not so, so it makes you feel guilty when they ask "how was it", well, they never asked us that here, maybe because we didn't wait and had to tell them how good it was. We didn't really have a meal here, but tried many things. The best was the desserts, rolled crepes, warm dulce de lecha on the inside with a scoop of ice cream, OMG and wow, how well those things mixed together, we also had a chocolate martini thing. It was a great way to end the meal and a good option for one who likes the affects of drinking but not the taste of alcohol .Other great things, salads-we had a chopped. Brussels sprouts thing. I'm not really into salad and loved it, and we were quite surprised, thinking steak and such would be the specialty. We also had empanada, something I've had before, and it was really good, soft and even perfectly done in the crust. I actually don't think much while having empanada, but this was whole other level.Let me add some caveats at end, we didn't actually have a big meal but will def be back to try that after this great experience, BUT price is an issue, it ain't cheap, but I def think this is a place that proves you get what you pay for. At this moment I believe this place deserves a way better rating than it has, so I am giving 5 stars, and it was a perfect place for us that night. As South Americans like to say, amazing.
