One of our favorite restaurants is Lomo on Costa Rica and Almería in Palermo Soho. Lomo means tenderloin in Spanish and is supposedly the best cut of meat. I personally favor both the Ojo de Bife (rib eye) and the Solomillo de Pulmon (hanger steak). That said, the Lomo grilled a punto is great.
Lomo - the restaurant - is a very unique place, a mix of a bar, a restaurant, a lounge and a music store. The only negative is that their main courses are quite pricey. Lomo a la Lomo, which is their signature dish with tenderloin, potato gratin and sauteed mushrooms will set you back AR$38 and the Lomo Mulata with tenderloin marinated in soy sauce and honey AR$35.
Unfortunatley they don't allow for free sharing of main courses but charges an additional 50% if you care to. That is silly and to my knowledge the only place that does among our favorites. Sharing a dinner, being able to try more things is one of the true joys of eating out.
The result is that we usually skip starter and the desert to make up for choosing two main courses instead of sharing one. There is no way we would be able to eat a three course dinner each. That said, their dishes are delish, the enviroment pretty cool and the service excellent.
