Went to my senior prom at the old one on Olive in 1966. I still love the place. The food is great, the service is great, and cherries jubilee.

I have been El Gaucho a few times and had a good experience. This time I felt the lighting was too dim to read the dinner menu and steak was charred.

Great atmosphere and quality of food and service doesn’t disappoint. Only complaint is the high cost of drinks. One 6 oz. glass of wine cost us $25. Automatic 20% service charge is also standard. This is a high end venue so we did expect the meal to cost more. Overall enjoyed our dinner there.
