Wonderful show, good food - The show was excellent. Very well organized and with a lot of interaction with the public.
I went with my 10 and 14 year old children. The food was good and there was plenty of it.

Acceptable experience - This experience is a “disneyfication” from what I can tell. The performers and serving were great , but the wine and food were (in my opinion) acceptable only. The wine was lower grade as was the food.
The venue is beautiful, however. Not an authentic experience.

Reasonable - The presentations are pleasant. Nothing spectacular. Old place. Dinner is regular.
There's not much to add.

Multicultural dance show mixing tango and samba - The program well introduced various cultural dances and songs of Uruguay. However, some of the dancers were out of synch and the food was less than mediocre. To the location’s credit, we attended the show on Christmas Eve’s eve (December 23rd) so maybe the usual dancers and cook were not working that day.

Don't go for the food. - The tango performances were great. The cambonde was sort of pathetic, but I was spoiled by seeing the real thing first night of Carnival. All the performers and staff were very professional
You'd think for $85/person there would be a decent sound system. Not true. Sound came clearly from one end of the room as the singer stood, apparently vocalizing, at the other.
The steak was tough, thin, and grizzly. The sides and desert were totally uninspired.
Still, if you don't mind paying the price, it's a good show.
