I rarely give 5 stars, and ElGaucho deserves 10. From the valet greeting, to the hostesses, the menu with my man’s name on it for his bday, to the perfect table overlooking the fire, to the rose petals on the cloth, to Luca, our server extraordinary. Wow! Our meal was perfectly prepared. Best steak I’ve had in Seattle. The two gentlemen who filled the water and cared for our table were attentive and friendly. Cesar and another person. When it came for dessert- which I saved room for- the bananas foster was prepared by Kirin, the GM. It was so smooth and delicious. Amazing. My guy got a tour of the kitchen he enjoyed and we may go back to learn how to prepare the bernaise sauce. So, if you have a chance - go. I will most definitely be back. Thank you, Luca, Kirin, and Cesar. I felt so beautiful and special last night. Jonathan too.

Came in here while visiting from Chicago. Probably one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life. I tried the New York Strip with Mac & cheese and asparagus. Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Jimmy was our server- very friendly and knowledgeable! Will definitely be back next time we visit Seattle.

Fantastic visit from Canada to try this place and met a few Canadian workers or some who know of BC Canada!From when we walked in to seated and left the service was amazing, food and experience. We split the rib eye steak, potatoes , amazing Brussels and cheese garlic toast, to escargot and tuna tartare! So so good! Not to mention the paper plane cocktail. Will be back!

Top notch all the way. I typically do not like steak in restaurants as I feel there's nothing like getting a steak out of my freezer and making it myself.The chef at El Goucho knows how to cook a steak! And the banana foster...oh my, mouth watering!Parking: Quick and easy, they park and bring it back to you at the front door

Impeccable perfection! This is everything you'd expect and hope for from a fine dining restaurant. My server was fantastic, engaging in personalized conversation, and everyone on the service staff was attentive to anticipating any dining necessity. The atmosphere is great - live piano music, dancing flames in the middle of the dining room, beautifully set tables, and an immaculately clean environment. Every dish was prepared with careful attention to detail and mix of ingredients. Mixed greens salad had the perfect amount of pecans, cranberries, and dressing to complement the fresh greens. Asparagus was cooked just right with a light sauce, just he way I like it. NY steak was cooked prefeclty with an amazing crust, juicy interior, and delicious seasoning. Fig preserves with the charcuterie plate was so good and the perfect complement to goat cheese. The sorbet was a remarkable balance of flavors, pear with a ribbon of contrasting raspberry, a well thought out conbination. I am eagerly looking forward to the next time I return to dine here, and recommending to all my friends.Dietary restrictions: My server was awesome at understanding specific allergies, making recommendations and taking care of specific modifications.

Absolutely incredible experience. Food was DELICIOUS, service was impeccable, and the bottle of wine that was recommended to us has become a new favorite. Thank you for an unforgettable night celebrating our anniversary! Even got custom made menus with our names on them. Very nice touch!
We visited El Gaucho for a birthday celebration and were pleasantly surprised by the rose petals on the table and the customized menu. Server was extremely knowledgeable, he mentioned he had chef experience and could guide us through recommendations, and very friendly, and food was very well cooked. The Caesar salad was a fun experience; it was served tableside and our server explained each ingredient as he added it. Prices are definitely on the high end, but we both considered it worthwhile for the quality.
