Mach and Sarah are amazing! If you get the table side Caesar then take the time to watch them make it or order a different salad! The wagyu poutine is to die for! Brussels are delish Chateaubriand* sub out asparagus for something else and unless you really like broiled tomatoes you can skip that too.

Went to El gaucho while visiting Seattle and OMG 5 stars aren't enough. Upon entering you see a fire pit and a beautiful bar and very luxury decor. They don't have a dress code but is a place jf you want to wear your Sundays best you can. Our server Jimi was on top of things. Never let our water glasses get low and he was very informative of the menu from starters to dessert. My old fashion he recommended was smoked and was exactly how an old fashion should tastes. He had wonderful energy and was pleasant to talk to. Also the manager Mauch was amazing as well. He kept us laughing and entertain upon his visits to our table as we were one of the last groups to leave. They start you with a garlic/cheese type of bread that was toasted and freaking phenomenal. We ordered crab cakes, fried calamari and lamp chop lollipops to start. The crab cakes were flavorful and the batter was perfectly cooked. Calamari was well seasoned and came with a sauce I would dip anything in. My favorite was the lamb as it was cooked perfectly with a great char on the outside. For the main course we all had steaks that were cooked and season to perfection. My first bite tasted like butter. Just melted in mouth. We ordered the Brussel sprouts and mash potatoes as sides. Brussels sprouts were charred but flavorful and the mash potatoes were whipped perfectly. For dessert I had the key lime pie and that crust and filling and me wanting more and more. All in all this was a 10/10 experience. Would highly recommend. You will pay for this service as it is not cheap but it's worth every penny.

Drew and Jimmy provided exceptional service that was clearly authentic and sincere. This was a special treat for my daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed the meal, service and experience.

If 10 stars were possible, El Gaucho would receive that rating. My wife and I have crazy busy schedules and we were not able to go out and celebrate Valentine's Day. We did manage to book a reservation for the Tuesday after and we were really looking forward to our visit here. I had been to the old El Gaucho many years ago and learned that they have a new location since 2020. They relocated to a new downtown home in the union stables building. This historic site once housed 300 horses who had the job of pulling Seattle's street cars and fire engines. The building has retained many of its distinctive features and the inside is laid out very well. There is plenty of parking nearby. Our waiter, Back/Boch, warmly greater us, and gave us a rundown on the history of this location. We scouted out the menu in advance and decided on fried calamari for our appetizer. It was the perfect size portion and the calamari was tasty. For our entrées, I had the bone in ribeye, which was 18 ounces of perfectly grilled medium rare. My wife enjoyed grilled scampi pasta, which was a generous portion and the shrimp were perfectly done. Throughout the meal, the servers kept our glasses topped off And appeared quickly when we had a question. For dessert, we enjoyed the crème brûlée, which was anointed with fresh berries and mint. As with the rest of the meal, it was incredible. We watched as they prepared bananas Foster table side for an adjacent table.Outstanding presentation and it looked amazing. Have to remember to try that next visit. The food was outstanding, and the ambience was incredible. What truly made this meal special was our server. He was extremely kind and considerate and took the time to visit with us. He's been working for El gaucho for a number of years and really enjoys what he does. The entire staff has to be complimented for their outstanding customer service. We very much look forward to our next visit and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a special night out.

Every experience has been first class. Recently celebrated a birthday with small group and the special touches the staff provided made it such a memorable night. The steaks have never been anything less than perfect!

Good time, company, and food. Our family of 4 came here for Christmas Eve dinner. We were seated on time for our 7:30pm reservation. Starters: French onion soup 10/10, lamb chops 10/10 Mains: chatbriande for 2 10/10, medallions Oscar 8/10 and kimchee creamed spinach 4/10 (sounded better than it tasted), Scampi pasta with Crab added 7/10 (it's a steak restaurant.... But I don't eat beef). Fruit and cheese platter: honey drizzled Macon's almonds, red grapes, red pears, jam, a soft cheese, rosemary crackers. 10/10 (I had this as my dessert) Family's Desserts: key lime pie, cream brûlée, and bread pudding 10/10. We skipped the" easy lay up": bananas foster for individual preferences and everyone was pleased.

OMG. This was the best dinner I have ever had! My brother brought us here for our birthday dinner. It was amazing. From the steak, potatoes, Mac and cheese, bread and drinks. The deserts are to die for. This will forever be my favorite dinner. I can not wait to go again. The service 5 , food five , desert 10 , drinks 5 . If you want a delicious and memorable meal give them a try

I have eating countless times at the Portland location, first time at the Seattle for a memorable bday Dinner. Ambience and service is first rate plus. Abundant menus of great drinks, amazing sides and a made at table Caesars can't be missed of course you come for the steak! Must have sides are the sweet corn, Mac cheese and mash potatoes and every steak here is first rate. The after dinner cheese and fruit plate has shrunk considerably but given the quantity of food we often never were able to finish it. For BDay they offered us a wonderful dessert to go. Most certainly one of my favorite steak places in the US

I have been to El Gaucho many times at three locations (and in there Reveler's Club), but attended a special even there and wanted to write a review on that. It was a really spectacular meal. This was the Pepper Bridge & Amavi Cellars Wine Dinner. It was very well organized in a separate room. We were greeted with a nice cocktail and an appetizer that was excellent. The Pepper Bridge/Amavi Director of Winemaking Jean-Francois Pellet was there to talk about the wines along with El Gaucho Executive Chef Kirin Chun to talk about the food. It was great hearing them speak. Needless to say the food and wines were awesome. It started with scallops and beets matched with a Pepper Bridge Sauvignon Blanc. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the beets were a very nice complement. The next course was a cassoulet along with Amazake sourdough. First, it can be odd to point out bread, but it was really outstanding (and sounded like it took a few days). Then the cassoulet was rich with beek, pork, and lamb--but really tasty. This was matched with an Amavi Syrah. Next course was Chantrelle Potato Gratin. This was a really original preparation and so delicious. It had stacks of thin layers, then the mushrooms were so good with it. This was matched with an Amavi Cab. After that was dry-aged Kagoshima ribeye (in tallow). This was another really unique course. The meat was really rich and flavorful and the Pepper B ridge cab matched absolutely perfect iwth it. For dessert, there was a velvet carrot cake. This was so delicious also, just incredible. This was matched with Pepper Bridge Trine, which I had never had before but loved. This was an absolutely wonderful experience. I strongly encourage others to sign up for these events.

It has been almost 20 years since I last dined at El Gaucho. Back in Seattle for the weekend, I knew it was time to re-visit Seattle's premier local steakhouse. It moved to a new location in the Union Stables Building in 2021. I knew when my daughter and I arrived we were going to have an amazing evening. It started with the hostesses at the front desk and continued with Todd our server. He knew we were heading to the Metallica concert that evening and made sure everything arrived timely to our table. We both started with a martini, my daughter order gin, and I selecting vodka. The blue cheese olives that we requested were simply delicious. We first ordered a half dozen Oysters, followed by the Boned-In Ribeye, plus Baked Potatoes and Asparagus as sides. Each course was beautifully plated and prepared exactly as we requested. I was super impressed that Kirin Chun, the GM and Executive Chef, came by our table to personally slice our steak so it could be shared. I also have to commend Kirin and an assistant for prepping our potatoes. It was like they massaged the potato to ensure it was consistently soft and flaky. In terms of an unexpected treat, the piano player even played several Metallica hits, including Nothing Else Matters. I presume few diners in the room had any idea they were hearing music from one of our premier metal bands. It was a fantastic experience and makes me hungry for another trip to Seattle and El Gaucho.
