On Tuesday evening, tables at Graciela in the West Village filled early. The new steakhouse, led by Buenos Aires restaurateur Pablo Rivero, opened this month on a quiet stretch of Hudson Street. Rivero is best known for Don Julio, his Michelin-starred restaurant in Argentina.
At Graciela, the menu lists grass-fed ribeye, short ribs, and a rotating selection of Argentine wines. The dining room seats 60, with white tablecloths and a charcoal grill visible from most corners. Cuts start at $54, with sides like provoleta cheese and chimichurri potatoes.
On Wednesday, servers carried plates to a mix of locals and visitors. Several tables lingered with bottles of Malbec. The kitchen closes at 11 p.m. on weekends.
Rivero said in an interview that he sources beef from small American producers but uses Argentine grilling techniques. He plans to offer a seasonal lunch menu in October.
Reservations for Friday and Saturday nights are booked through early October. Walk-ins are accepted at the bar.
