El Gaucho is definately considered to be the best steak place to "see and be seen", and to pick up women (hence the Playboy and Mens Journal accolades). But personally I prefer the quality of the steak at the Met and Daniel's Broiler to be superior. Our filets at El Gaucho were kind of tough (even after we sent them back) - of course, by that point we were pretty trashed on Opus One.
