  "description": "Francis Mallmann's fire-kissed Argentinian cuisine transforms any group gathering into a primal feast at this Meatpacking District gem, where the intoxicating aroma of wood-fired grills fills the semi-private dining space. Your party of up to 54 will bond over impossibly tender asado meats and rustic vegetables that taste like they were cooked over an open flame in the Patagonian wilderness. The theatrical presentation of whole fish and lamb emerging from the flames creates those spontaneous moments of collective awe that turn a simple dinner into an unforgettable shared experience.",
