El Gaucho Review

Waistcoated waitstaff coolly navigate the packed floor of this retro steak house serving up satisfying fare in a swanky, expansive room. Flaming lamb shish kebab, double-thick venison chops, King crab legs, crispy seared chicken, and cool Caesar salads (possibly the city's best) all tantalize, but the eatery is best known for perfectly cooked steaks—and 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 see the prices—just sit back, enjoy your luscious cut of meat, and listen to the live piano music.
