Tim BushnellAugust 6, 2017Some of the best steak you will ever eat, served by an amazing staff who take pride in full service. Afterwards enjoy some jazz music at the attached Pampas room
stephane bossNovember 23, 2011It is a destination. Incomparable ambiance and great food. I love their Caesar salad and how they do it in front of you and the cheese/fruits/nuts tray to end an amazing dinner. Never disappointed.

Andrew MartinezMay 26, 2019Best steak I've had in Seattle. Also, the brussel sprouts were excellent and the baked potato was very well done. Attentive staff, great atmosphere. Great place to enjoy your dinner and conversations.
AnaC Sauer LiberatoOctober 22, 2017A steak with mushrooms took 30min to arrive at the table and came with ONE crimini mushroom. I called the manager to share my experience and he just nodded and acted like he didn’t care.- El GauchoAugust 26, 2014Save the date to join us for a 4-course dinner featuring Chef Matt’s genius food pairings with Glenfiddich scotches and cocktails.

Chrissy PuccioApril 2, 2016The ambiance was top notch and the food equally as amazing. Nothing like a good steak and martini.

I am a Seattle native and this is by far my favorite restaurant. Start with oysters and let the wine captain pick your wine, trust him he knows what's good.
The Seattle TimesJuly 21, 2010In the dimly lit, cabaret-like ambiance, a vodka cocktail can cost up to $22. A porterhouse: $65. More of an expense-account and celebratory-steak-dinner kinda place. Happy hour: Su-M 5-11 & T-F 5-7 Read more- The Ahi Tuna Tartare is simply delicious! And if you're feeling wicked- get the Wicked Shrimp! Great HH on Sunday and Monday 5:00 to close.

They serve until midnight and that's great on Fridays and Saturdays! A skeptical foodie friend RAVED about the burger. It is the best in town and 1/2 price for all day Happy Hour Sun & Mon!
Happy hour steak, and table side Caesar salad made right there. Dinner theater, literally!- El GauchoJanuary 7, 2015Join us for Love is in the air: A Valentine Cabaret!

Laurentia HAugust 19, 2014One of the best bread pudding around... and I'd travel near and far for bread pudding!
@WABrokers http://wabrokers.comDecember 13, 2009The El Gaucho - Seattle experience is second to none. The ambience is amazing with plateau seating, dark lighting, blue walls, attentive staff, flaming steaks and cocktails. They used to have a nice Read more- The Seattle TimesMay 14, 2010No one else does a burger like El Gaucho. It's not just piled with toppings just to look gluttonous but it's nicely structured. Half off for happy hour ($7.50) all day Sun & Mon, 5-7pm Tues-Fri Read more
Jared KaneMarch 27, 2012I've got a new shot for you called the Johnny Vegas. Half oz Patron, half oz watermelon Pucker shaken poured into a 1oz of Red Bull. Twitter: @jared_kane tell me what you think
Katie YamadaMay 31, 2015Get the Iconic El Gaucho, can't miss the bananas foster and who doesn't love meat on a flaming sword. Exceptional service- Charlotte S.January 28, 2013The wicked shrimp is wicked good. And the forbidden sundae? YES. Totally worth $14.
One of the best happy hours in Seattle! Brent is the best behind the bar!
Carrie Gogerty-RoseSeptember 2, 2013Come here before going to the Big Picture for a movie...you won't be disappointed!!!
Nathan CoolinOctober 18, 2015Steaks so bland, and such mediocre quality meat that it's a sin to call this place a steakhouse. It's the Epcot Center version of a steakhouse: cliché style and no substance.
Sunday and Monday... All night happy hour in the bar. Do it.- Go during happy hour - there's a whole back room if the the bar is full. They have the best burger and bread pudding in the city!
Seattle Happy HourMarch 2, 2012Happy Hour Sunday - Monday is All night from 5pm to close! Tuesday – Friday: 5pm – 7pm http://www.elgaucho.com/Menus/EGS-Bar.pdf
Andru EdwardsApril 13, 2011Bananas foster is the truth. Ask for it with 1/2 cherries and 1/2 bananas!
Clara TSeptember 7, 2013Sunday – Monday: All night 4pm to close Tuesday – Friday: 4pm – 7pm Saturday: 4pm – 5pm- El GauchoAugust 7, 2013Ask about our loyalty program, the Reveler's Club!
Josh HwangSeptember 13, 2011They prepare the bananas foster right in front of you. It's the choice dessert.
Wicked linguine at happy hour is a great bet! Goes really well with the garlic bread.
Chris PotterApril 23, 2010They have a great happy hour, and their Gaucho Collins is refreshing and delightful!
Andy AffleckJune 9, 2011People are not kidding about the burger. Heavenly. About to try the bread pudding. I may never leave.
Ahsanul HikmahJanuary 16, 2011Go during happy hour - bar menu half off. includes what us possibly the best burger in Seattle.
MazdaOctober 26, 2010Seattle’s original El Gaucho was part speak-easy and part Hunt’s breakfast club. That was 1953 and it was run by Jim Ward. By 1985 that era had come to end.

"Classic steak house that won't break the bank. Great brunch on the weekends. Ask for a side (boat) of hollandaise for a few $ extra and another everything with it."

"Amazing service every time, fantastic steaks, and the best clam chowder I think I've ever had. And this is one place that can make you a lover of brussel sprouts. Come on payday though. $$$$"
