I opened the doors into darkness. Slowly my eyes adjusted, dim candlelight barely illuminating one of Seattle's most renowned hotspots -- El Gaucho's. A kindly old server guided us to our table and our waitress introduced herself. The service was impeccable -- our glasses of water never reached the bottom. I ordered the Wicked Shrimp a New York and a glass of Nelm's Road, my girlfriend ordered the Filet Mignon. Advice: Get the Wicked Shrimp, Get the Filet Mignon, Do not get the New York, and while there is no dress code, please bother to look nice. Anyway, the Service is incredible, while it's okay for a date, it is the perfect place to close a deal. Other tables have a way of fading away, creating a more intimate setting, but one not particularly romantic.
While the food is good, there are better restuarants for less money.
Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Private
