Lively Argentinian grill in Brickell with standout steaks, empanadas, and warm service; great happy hour and balcony seating, but expect loud vibes, auto 18% service charge, and occasional service delays.
⚠️ Review concerns: This assessment reflects moderate uncertainty due to questionable review patterns. See details in Authenticity Assessment. Novecento delivers reliable Argentinian grill dining with strong food quality highlighted by well-executed steaks and empanadas, paired with attentive service that earns regular praise. However, inconsistent execution during peak times—including variable steak doneness and occasional delays—prevents grade A territory, while unusual review patterns create moderate uncertainty in the overall assessment. The lively Brickell setting with balcony appeal and strong local loyalty make it a solid neighborhood choice, though not a destination restaurant.
Set in the heart of Brickell, Novecento buzzes with lively energy, balcony tables for people-watching, and a staff that many guests call out by name. One diner summed it up: "Our server checked on us often and the steaks were spot on," while another noted the room can be a bit loud at peak times. However, there are some review authenticity concerns - some review patterns are consistent with solicited or influenced feedback. The kitchen leans Argentinian grill with Italian touches: think well-seared steaks, stuffed empanadas, provoleta, and pastas like bolognese or truffled mushroom ravioli. It is elevated traditional rather than experimental, with solid ingredients and generous portions when the line is clicking, though a few guests reported inconsistent doneness or delays during rushes. Families do fine here thanks to burgers, pastas, fries, pancakes, and friendly servers who are great with kids. There is no formal kids menu noted, but the accessible dishes and brunch classics make it workable for younger eaters; adventurous items are optional, not required.
