El Che Steakhouse was a wonderful experience paying homage to the power of simple, delicious, high quality ingredients with... excellent preparation. I was able to start off with scallops, oysters, and shrimp which were prepared on the grill delivering alovely cross of the delicate taste of seafood with that deep flavor you can only get from a grill. We also enjoyed the wedgesalad. I really appreciated it as the lettuce was nice and crisp with thoughtful toppings. It provided a nice palate cleansefrom all the grilled meats. We tried the sweetbread, a meat I have never had before but believe it is a cut from around thethroat. Honestly, I was so happy to have tried it. It has almost the texture of fish but the flavor of grilled beef. Thesweetbread provided a really interesting and tasty experience that I would most certainly repeat. Next was the dry aged ribeyeand the meat was so nice and tender packed with flavor on a perfect medium rare preparation. I would be curious to try more andsee what magic they work with different cuts of beef. Last but not least, I sat at the bar for my meal and was able to talkwith the lead bar tender while we ate. She was super passionate about the work she did and it really showed up in the drinks. Ihave had several cocktails off the menu and would recommend any of them. If you are a fan of steak and seafood, do yourself afavor and visit El Che Steakhouse. I would happily return to enjoy a meal here and am ready to try a few more drinks from thatgoregous cocktail menu. Read more
Visited for dinner on a Saturday evening. I recommend reservations if you want a table, there were open seats at the bar though.... Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The beef empanadas and Japanese sweet potatoes were delicious.The filet and steak frites were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The rum old fashioned was different and good. The only itemwe did not like was the sundae. The herbs and nuts flavors were a bit overwhelming. Read more
We LOVED the chef's counter experience for my birthday. The entire team was incredibly attentive, friendly and informative. We... had a great night with Alex and Chefs Adam, Sam, and Jimmy. (I hope I remembered everyone's names right!) The food wasabsolutely delightful and we walked away without being able to pick a single favorite. We came up with a top 5 instead (in noparticular order): oyster, grilled shrimp, quail, agnolotti, steak + lobster with lobster butter....so half the menu! ???? Theother half was delicious too. They even made my fiance - who hates seafood - say some of the seafood items were his favorite.They were also incredibly accommodating of our requests. We did not do the wine pairing but Alex was super helpful in helpingme pick a few glasses for the meal. We thoroughly loved it and will be back for another meal soon. My pictures don't even do itjustice - and I forgot to take pictures halfway through because I could not wait to dig in. One tip if you're doing this: dressaccordingly. It does get balmy, you're sitting 10 feet from a live burning fire after all. Read more
Here's what you need to know: this is a review of the 'Hearth Table' experience that's only purchasable on the restaurant... reservation platform "Tock". It's a family style meal experience where the the menu is pre set by the restaurant for $100/diner+ T&T. Overall, the service and ambiance make for a 5 star experience. The quality of the steaks and sausages I would rate 3stars (quite Underwhelming) but the overall rating warrants a 5. Oh, and be ready to eat because it is SO MUCH FOOD on thehearth table. The hearth table experience is a great way to bring in a celebratory night. The restaurant allows for seating of6-10 and all participants must participate in the experience. If you're celebrating a special occasion and want to pair thatwith a nice rare Wine, they so allow BYOB with corkage ($45/bottle) for up to 2 std sized bottles of your own wine. For thefood, we started off with an outrageously delicious olive bowl with assorted Spanish style olives in warm Olive oil brine. Thenwe moved on to an empanada and endive salad which was a perfect combination pair. Then on the stupendously well seasoned quail(poultry) plate with delicious croutons. Next was the super indulgent warm seafood platter with oysters, prawns, and lobstertails. That was chased with the grand offering of their signature meat platter filled to the brim with sweetbreads, short ribs,blood sausage, chorizo, and massive ribeyes. Surprisingly, the red meat platter was decent but the weakest of the courses whenit came to seasoning and quality. Short ribs were a little too fatty and rubbery, ribeye was average quality. We finished witha dessert platter which had amazingly delish alfajores and ice creams. Overall, great celebrating. Bill was $135 for food withtax and tip included, and the rest was for cocktails and bottles of wine (which varies for each party ) Read more

My friends and I chose this place based on Instagram and reviews and the food did not disappoint! Sadly, our server reduced the... quality of our experience. There was crazy traffic and we were going to be over 45 minutes late, so we called to see if we couldchange our reservation. They told us they were very booked but they would see what they could do when we got there. When we gotthere we were seated right away. The hostess just told us we had a time limit on our table which was much better than notgetting to eat!! So, we REALLY appreciated that! Everything we had was amazing! I'm from Louisiana and the oysters were good.Not like Louisiana, but still good. The mashed potatoes were a small bowl of love and the steak was absolute perfection! I can'tsay enough about the food! Our server came to the table and never introduced himself. He immediately asked if we knew what wewanted to order. We asked for water and ordered a few drinks. When he came back my friend basically had to flag him down to askquestions. He didn't seem overly busy or hurried just uninterested in helping us. We had to drag answers out of him instead ofhim telling us the specials or giving suggestions. We asked our questions and our answers were short and made us feeluncomfortable asking anything. Shortly after we received our food, we heard him explain specials, offer drink suggestions and goabove and beyond for the table next to us. When we asked him about it, he said we already knew what we wanted and didn't givehim a chance to explain anything. Later, a manager stopped at our table and asked how things were and we told him what happened. He was extremely polite and apologized. He brought my friend a drink and when he came back to the table he stayed fora while and talked to us. He gave us other restaurant suggestions for the rest of our trip. He was very appreciated and madeour visit a little more enjoyable. Read more
