Very disappointed in the new El Gaucho since it moved to First Avenue. A far, far, far cry from it's prior location in downtown with regard to service. Actually the food is still excellent, it's just the cooks don't know the true meaning of a rare or medium rare steak or how to judge thickness when cooking these steaks for the customer. HINT: go to Jak's and take a lesson on how to cook steaks.
Service very uppity and slow (unless you plan on having a 4 hour dinner with more wait time than eating and relaxing).
As for the women with the baby complaining about the extreme kissing couple - El Gaucho may be listed as a family friendly restaurant - but it's NO place for an infant. People that go to nice and expensive restaurants go to relax and enjoy the company their with - not to be entertained by a fussy crying baby from across the room. Use you brain lady!!
