From the restaurant's website:
"Seattle’s original El Gaucho was part speak-easy and part Hunt’s breakfast club. That was 1953, and it was run by Jim Ward. By 1985 that era had come to end. Paul Mackay wasn’t satisfied with that so he reopened El Gaucho in 1996 with a simple truth: Guest-first mentality, genuine, passionate, hospitable, caring, supportive and engaged. Mackay wanted it to be more romantic; We’ve created what people dreamed the past was and amplified it for today’s guest. The restaurant would go on to become a Seattle institution."
Full bar. Serving dinner nightly. Late-night Fri–Sat.
"Though we are partial to the dry-aged porterhouse and the New York peppercorn steak, fish is handled here with equal finesse."
