El Gaucho Tacoma 2119 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402

"Last night was my first time at El Goucho. I was fully impressed. The service from our awesome server, Sheena, was exceptional. She made my dinner there a wonderfully memorable experience. I also want to recognize David, who helped table our food, including both our steak dinners and fiery bananas foster. He exuded class and charm, adding to my extremely positive impression of this upscale restaurant. Not to mention that the food was incredibly tasty, and the atmosphere is like something out of a 40s film with dim lighting, high ceilings, and live piano music from a very talented performer."

"The best steakhouse around. Classy atmosphere and staff, stellar service and incredible food. We come here regularly to celebrate special occasions or sometimes just for Happy Hour. Our go-to is the Steak El Gaucho and table-side Caesar, but you never want to miss the key lime pie. It's absolutely out of this world. The topping is light, fluffy and airy, and the pie itself is the perfect balance of sweet and tart and not too overpowering or heavy. We recently came here for Valentine's Day and tried the Chateaubriand (a table side service for two). Absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly. The baked potatoes were an unexpected surprise. Fluffed table side to the point they're almost whipped, with all the fixings and it just melts in your mouth. There were some off the menu dessert specials from a local bakery, and we had to try the pink champagne cake. Everything was top notch as always."

"Outr server, Elizabeth, was amazing! Very polite and kind. She explained all the dishes very well. The food was out of this world. A perfect steak, potato, lobster and oh the bread was so good! Dessert was the perfect ending! A fabulous choice for a special dinner!"

"Easily one of the very best dining experiences we’ve ever had. The service was absolutely top tier from start to end. Beginning with the valet service (which is complimentary with your meal), including the lounge area to wait for your table, continuing with your wait staff who know you by name and frequently check in on your satisfaction, it was beyond what we expected. Amazing. The food was also delicious at every step. Table side cocktails, starters, an amazing array of steaks and seafood, and all rounded out with hearty side dishes and capped with stunning desserts… just wow. We didn’t have a single dish that wasn’t just perfect. Our favorites included: - Pork belly starter - Diver sea scallops - Oscar style filet - Lobster mashed potatoes - Cosmo (cocktail) We’d order it all again. We also really appreciated the extra steps to celebrate a special occasion- they went so far as to customize the menus to celebrate my husbands birthday. Stunning service all around. The automated 20% gratuity on your check is probably an understated value of the experience. 10/10 recommend."
