After a day at the beach we were looking for a watering hole to quench our thirst whilst overlooking the beach. True south fit the bill. A good selection of beers on tap at a reasonable price for the location $14 for a pint of Carlton draft. Beer was cold. The food Entrees Croquettes 3.5/5 - ok at best, had a lot of potential Tuna ceviche - 5/5 a standout dish. Unbelievable flavour. Could have used a smidgen more of tuna Chorizo - 4/5 the value for money dish. Flavour was good. Mains & Sides Porterhouse + bone marrow butter 6/5 - absolutely outstanding. The cook was a perfect medium rare. Flavour was fantastic. Calamari - 4/5 solid entry. Not great but pretty good. Was lacking seasoning. Greek island fries 3.7/5 - pretty good for chips, light on the feta and a little expensive for what they are. Overall great dining experience 👍

Went for lunch recently. The croquette of the day was pretty average. The prawn sliders were really good. The tuna and mango ceviche was fresh. The rice bowl with prawn and avocado was great and I would order again. Steak was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were a little rich with the salsa verde. The brûlée was awesome. Service was excellent. Would return and recommend

The pricey steak was decent but not even any chips or salad with it. Beers on tap are fine. Croquettes we’re pretty good.

Liked this place quite a bit! Interestingly for a place that bills itself as Argentinian that one normally associates with meat, meat and more meat, we enjoyed the fresher non-meat dishes more (e.g. Ceviche). Croquettes were a hit too.

Good cocktails. Great food. Perfect for sharing. We did our own mix and were very happy. A shame we were shuffled out for the next sitting after being told to take our time, but great overall.
