Ah, El Gaucho...what a pompus, arrogant place. The only reason they could ("re-")open their business and expand to Tacoma and Portland was the dot-com boom since they attracted the flaunting-look-at-how-much-I-can-spend-on-a-cigar-types which the boom created. Hope you don't mind the cigar smoke, and please do self-park your car if you want it back in one piece. Oh and just ignore the day laborers who hang out at all hours on that stretch of First Ave., the Seattle PD and the INS apparently don't care about what they do to passing women.

The Met, the Union Square and Daniel's Broiler.

Hell, Ruth's Chris is far more enjoyable than El Gouge-o in my experience.

Union Square will often have Buffalo or Venison. The Martinis are great as is the table-mixed Ceaser Salad.
