We have been to El Gaucho 6 times in the last two years, each time for a special occasion. We love going there and the experience every time. Would recommend going to anyone who wants a special night out. more

This is everything a great steakhouse should be - a place to celebrate a very special occasion with top-notch service, intimate atmosphere and memorable food. The diver scallop appetizer was fantastic and the steaks prepared al la "el gaucho" rivaled those we have eaten at the original 'Palm' restaurant in New York. The impeccable service and the duo playing romantic... more
