El Gaucho Review

El Gaucho
$$$-$$$$, Steak, Belltown
Fodor's Review:
Dress to impress here -- you don't want to be outclassed by the waistcoated waitstaff that coolly navigates the packed floor of this retro steak house. El Gaucho serves some of the city's most basic, most satisfying fare in a swanky, expansive room. For the complete show, order the items prepared table-side. From the flaming lamb shish kebab to the cool Caesar salad (possibly the city's best), the virtuoso presentation seems to make everything taste better. Ritzy yet comfortable, El Gaucho makes you relax no matter how stressful your day. Of course, you may get heart palpitations once again when you get the bill -- by virtue of its entrée sticker shock alone it's likely the most expensive restaurant in Seattle (the smallest steak on the menu is $39).

Best all around resturaunt

We went there during a vacation. Made reservations, and was sent down to jazz bar that was neat. Service was excellent and our server had some personality as well. I drink a ton of water, and my water glass was never less that half. Tableside ceasar salad was great. I make ceasars myself, and the server asked (while making) what ingredients I enjoy more than others. That was unique. The steak was really good, and the lamb kabobs was good as well as the flambe show. I used to cater fine dining, so I am always critical of service-- our staff was top notch. From start to finish, this experience was great.
