El Gaucho Tacoma - (Near Tacoma, WA)

A. M. A. I can confidently say this is the best steakhouse we’ve been to in the U.S. The quality of the steaks was outstanding, and the grilled chicken was the best we’ve ever had. My kids absolutely loved it! The bone marrow was incredible, the fries were perfectly seasoned, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance—especially if your party has more than four people—to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit. Update: We visited the restaurant again for dinner and had a wonderful experience. The menu offered great options, and William, our host, was once again very welcoming. Be sure to reserve a table in advance, as the restaurant tends to get busy.

Cece Chime I have spent the last 4 birthdays here and have enjoyed every last one. From the atmosphere, to the service which is unmatched and the food which is phenomenal. My guests always rave about this place and have become regulars as well. This has become my favorite restaurant hands down.

Erica Shekari Flawless execution of dishes and service. They were so careful about my pregnancy restrictions and I never even had to ask if anything was safe for me. They were so friendly and welcoming and of course we so enjoyed the food, that, in many aspects, were brand new flavors for me. The dishes were bold and creative, yet found a way to be nostalgic in some ways to me. What a wonderful place, I hope to return to again and again.

Yenlik (Enlik) A Truly Unforgettable Dining Experience at the EL Gaucho! We celebrated our anniversary at EL Gaucho, and it was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly host and immediately immersed in the warm atmosphere, complete with live pianist playing beautiful classical and contemporary music that set the tone for a wonderful evening. Ambiance & Service: The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and they even covered our table with rose petals, wrote a personalized card, and created a customized menu with our names to make our anniversary celebration memorable! Food: Everything we ordered was exquisite: - *Bone Marrow and Scallops*: The sauce from the scallops perfectly complemented the bone marrow. Our server kindly served it as an appetizer, even though it was listed as a side dish. - *Salad with Pistachios*: A delightful mix of flavors and textures. - *King Crab Legs*: Succulent and flavorful, with a delicious butter sauce. - *Flaming Steak*: Tender, juicy filet mignon with a fun presentation. - *Crème Brûlée*: Creamy, crunchy sugar coating, and perfectly balanced with fresh coffee and espresso. - *Sea Bass in Shoyu Sauce*: Melted in your mouth, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. *Cocktails:* The mixologist truly outdid themselves! The *Filthy Martini* with a Grey Goose and *Old Fashioned with Woodenville Bourbon* were among the best Ive ever had. We also enjoyed the *Sparkling Rosé Cremant Brute*, which paired perfectly with rich foods like bone marrow and oysters. Overall: El Gaucho exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff is amazing, and becoming a member is a must! If youre looking for a special occasion spot or just want to treat yourself, look no further. Well definitely be back!

Inna E This place offers a delightful dining experience with its delectable food and impeccable service. Despite its high prices, it’s always packed and booked, making it an ideal choice for a romantic date with your loved one.

Trypp Adams Love the mid century modern building. This was my first visit and I went solo. I booked an early time, 5:15 and had a window view. Service was amazing. If you work in any sort of service roll, you should visit to see what top service is. Arrive hungry as there are so many more courses than the 3 you order. Im usually not a fan of service charges but the service here is as amazing as the food, and they dont ask for a tip on top which is appreciated. Free valet only parking.
