The whole dining experience was excellent! You feel like you are back in the RatPack Era. Very low lighting...great for smaller groups. Amazing tableside service and the food was top notch. My guests all said hands down best experience (and steak) ever.
I love this iconic and classic favorite Seattle spot! The service is always above & beyond and I have never been disappointed with anything in my glass or in my plate. The Insane Truffle Soup, Thai sticky short ribs, table side Ceaser’s salad, perfectly prepared steaks and so much more. From the bar to the table every moment is always exceptional.
We've been to El Gaucho several times and have yet to be disappointed. Wonderful ambience, top notch service, and steak done right every single time. Last night our server was Ashley, and she went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed a superb dining experience. This is the perfect place for a special occasion dinner.
El Gaucho has earned its place as our favorite Restaurant in Seattle - we have never had anything that was not on point - highly recommended!!!
The ambiance at the Seattle El Gaucho was nice but a little too dark. The staff was very friendly. The truffle soup was a bit salty but was good. The main course was really nice and the dessert (chocolate ganache) was decadent! �
It was my nephew's birthday and they gave him a card and a candle on his dessert. Also liked the live piano music.
Overall, a very nice experience.
The staff were superb, made my wife and I feel like we were important. The food was to die for. Worth every penny.
We went to El Gaucho to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and the experience, service and food was unbelievable. We were made to feel special the minute we walked in the door! Worth every bit spent!
Obviously we had Amazing service and even better food... I was thrown off by the auto-grat, as a former sever I wouldn’t think of tipping less than 20% at a fine dining establishment. However, the server wanted me to tip above and beyond that? I’m legitimately wondering if I am missing something regarding that?? This is NOT something that would keep me from fairly eating or not coming back... just genuinely curious.
Another amazing dinner at downtown Seattle location. Service impeccable and food as good as always!
We've been to El Gaucho many times over the years. We've always had an excellent experience. From the service to the food El Gaucho is a must.
A truly remarkable dining experience! The Best Steak in Seattle!! Accompanied by a team that consistently delivers outstanding customer service! I highly recommend El Gaucho!
The best of everything I have ever experienced at any restaurant! Hands down it's a #1, 5 star facility for an awesome dining experience!
The food was amazing and the attention was wonderful. Great place to have a great dinner.

I had the pleasure of dining at El Gaucho in Seattle for a romantic anniversary celebration, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the low-light atmosphere created an intimate ambiance that set the tone for the evening.
The customer service at El Gaucho went above and beyond our expectations. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making us feel like valued guests. They even surprised us with a table adorned with rose petals and a handwritten note signed by the staff, showing their genuine acknowledgment of our special occasion.
But the highlight of the evening was the incredible taste of the steak. Cooked to perfection, it was succulent, tender, and bursting with flavor. The option to have a side show to watch how they prepared the steak was a unique touch. It added a theatrical element to the dining experience, giving us a deeper appreciation for the culinary artistry that goes into each dish.
Our romantic anniversary dinner at El Gaucho was truly unforgettable. The combination of the low-light atmosphere, exceptional customer service, mouthwatering steak, and the personal touches of rose petals and a note made it a night to remember. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply indulge in a remarkable dining experience, El Gaucho in Seattle is a top choice.
Fantastic dining experience. Our waitress was extremely polite and made sure that the 4 of us had a fantastic experience. The appetizers are delicious and well thought out. We each tried a different steak and had 2 bottles of champagne. The sides are a must, and are shareable. We will be returning customers in the future. Having paid the bill for my party I will say, be prepared to spend !
I visited El Gaucho Seattle last weekend with my husband and best friend to celebrate my husband's birthday. When we arrived, our table had flower petals, a birthday card for my husband, and menus that read "Happy Birthday" at the top.
We ordered the tableside caesar (a must!), several shareable sides, the roasted chicken, and my husband had the steak el gaucho. The food was INCREDIBLE, the cocktails are delicious, and the service is unmatched.
The little touches for my husband's birthday were very cool, but what we left talking about was our server, Sarah. She was so amazing and really made the evening for us. We travelled from Ellensburg just to dine here and had a blast.
I have been to El Gaucho Seattle twice now and both times were perfect experiences. The space is a dramatically lit rustic space in Belltown. Service is attentive and friendly. Each time I have done a couple of appetizers, steak, and dessert. Most recently for my sister’s birthday where we had the table side steak tartare, steak El Gaucho, and bread pudding. It is not a cheap night out, but it is certainly memorable! Be sure to signup for their loyalty program as you get the occasional perk. I will definitely eat here again.
Mandy is the best waitor with a great sense of humour. He is fast & efficient too! This restaurant specializes in steaks however we ordered the roasted chicken & wildcaught King salmon. It was excellent. This is a very good restaurant to try out too. 😋
I celebrated my anniversary at this restaurant, the food was delicious! This place has a great happy hour menu, and the drinks are very good! The music was lovely, and there was even someone playing the piano. The atmosphere was great, and they scattered rose petals on the table, making it even more romantic. At the end of our meal, our waitresses surprised us with a complementary dessert and some delicious fruit. The service was great and I really recommend this place for anniversaries!
The food was good, service was great, but the atmosphere was pretty loud though. Such an elegant, and romantic place but the bar area was just LOUD.
We picked El Gaucho for a birthday dinner. The food was regular American steakhouse along with fantastic service. Maik was attentive, listened to things we had to share, and made great suggestions. For example we weren't sure which side to get so he suggested half orders of a few (not clearly listed on the menu). The bone-in ribeye was seared to almost perfection (maybe a few degrees lower than we'd like but no complaints) and the meal overall really worked from start to finish.
The ambience was SET, the food was good, and the service was great. Didn't let our water get to half full. They were very attentive, but the bar was a disruption. As a typical bar, people were drunk and extremely loud!! Still had a good time but....
Outstanding service! Everyone was attentive, the food recommendations were stellar, and I felt very comfortable dining as a solo traveler. You absolutely must try the bread pudding!
