Talk about an experience!! My husband treated me to this restaurant for my birthday back in April. We were being taken care of... by Larry at the time and when we walked to the table all of the staff had signed a birthday card for me. That evening I orderedthe Halibut and would recommend to anyone! While eating Larry (whose absolutely amazing) recommended that I save some room for abanana foster, because it would end our evening the right way. Well of course he was not wrong! Watching Larry make the BananaFoster, educate us on how he makes it, and get to know more about the place was definitely a memory I will not forget. We hadsuch a great time that we came back that same week a second time and we taken care of by Doug! Immediately Doug and Larry teamedup to ensure we had the best dining experience a second round (I also got the Halibut again with Mac and cheese). After leavingwe knew this would be our spot where we will celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and everything in between! 3 months later wecame back and was again treated with so much care and the food the seafood was fresh. I’d highly recommend trying eating herefor your anniversary or birthdays! Read more
Such a nice touch done by the staff at El Gaucho. The table was set with rose petals half in yellow for a birthday and the other... half with red rose petals for anniversary. The food was excellent like always. We order the tuna tartar for the appetizer, crabbisque soup, Cesar salad, filet mignon, lobster, Mac & cheese and French fries. Read more
An absolute family favorite. I had my birthday here ???? I love El Gaucho and have for years there’s just something so special... about it, probably has to do with the live piano. Absolutely adore coming for drinks here with friends too. Read more
Service was exceptional. Food was amazing. Ambiance was a bit loud that it drowned out the piano music. Overall enjoyed our... night. The staff took the time to recognize our anniversary and greeted us warmly. I'll be back. It's pricey but to me it'sworth the great service and food. Read more
We stopped at the bar before our reservation and had a lovely time with Shawn! Delicious cocktails and his service was very... entertaining! Our server, Colette was also wonderful. Highly recommend the table side flaming tenderloin. I didn’t catch hisname but the man who does the table side bananas-foster service is our favorite. We’ve had him before and adore him everytime.

Had a fantastic experience here. The service was great and really loved the table side dishes like the caesar salad and flaming... sword tenderloin. The background piano music was also great. Food was delicious especially if you like meat but they do have acouple of vegetarian options. Highly recommend for a nice date night or fancy dinner with the family. Read more
I came here for seattle restaurant week. So glad I didn't pay full price since overall the experience was lacking. Food took... forever. I think it took at least 30 minutes to get our soup. It took awhile to get drinks and all the courses. I don't thinkthey had a coat check in since nobody asked me. FOOD: The group felt that the lobster bisque was too salty. There was nolobster in it either. The wild truffle soup was creamy and delicious. They had free bread for the table. I didn't eat any butaccording to my friends it was acceptable. Bread is already buttered. The gaucho cosmo is extremely sour. It took me nearly 2hours to drink it. The sangria and old fashion was a group favorite. I got the filet mignon and it did not come out with thedesired temperature. My friends got the sirloin and their food was more cooked too. I waited so long for the food, I wasn'tgoing to wait another 40 minutes. The desserts were okay. The key lime pie came with berries. It is not the season forblackberries or blueberries hence sour berries. I got the sorbet. It was not memorable. At the end we were served a freecharcuterie plate. It consist of goat cheese, fig jam, grapes,crackers, apples and pears. I had great company which made eating mediocre food tolerable. Service was ok. The waiter had a sarcastic personality. Bathroom was clean and located on the secondfloor. I took the stairs. I didn't see an elevator. Parking They have a parking garage. The parking garage is labeled El gauchowith arrows. They also have valet. I parked at the parking garage and got validation. The parking garage is near the valet. Itis not right on the street. Read more
