Classic Palermo Soho parrilla delivering flavorful Argentine beef with big portions and lively service, though timing, occasional rudeness, and rare billing/tip friction can mar an otherwise strong value experience.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Calden del Soho Grill delivers excellent grass-fed steaks with proper char and juicy centers, backed by attentive, knowledgeable service and a charming Palermo Soho setting. However, quality variation in doneness and side timing plus isolated food safety reports prevent a higher grade. It's a reliable choice for beef lovers seeking authentic parrilla tradition at fair prices, though it falls short of the area's premier steakhouse standards.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and bustling with wood-and-brick charm and a lively Palermo Soho sidewalk scene. Servers are often professional and accommodating, guiding wine and steak temps, though a few diners reported slow checks or brusque moments. One guest put it best: "the ribeye had deep grill flavor with a juicy center." On the plate, the approach is classic parrilla cooking: grass-fed beef, simple salt, kissed by wood or charcoal. Cuts like ojo de bife, bife de chorizo, and lomo headline, backed by provoleta, achuras, and heaping fries. Portions are big (even half cuts suffice), prices feel fair for the quality, and the wine list suits the grill-driven flavors. Expect tradition over theatrics, with the grill doing the talking. Families are welcome. Kids can share steak or go for pasta and fries; simple salads and mashed potatoes help too. No kids menu is noted, but familiar dishes make it workable. Early seatings are calmer, and service is flexible for family needs.
