The star of El Gaucho was the phenomenal service, our waitress was extremely kind and attentive. Not once did we have to pour a single glass of wine and as a wine guzzler myself, she was exceptionally on point. The atmosphere itself is nice and cozy. The tables can be a bit close together but thankfully we were positioned with space in between, crowded days I imagine might impact the dining experience. There was live music playing as well which was nice and upbeat, not too loud or chaotic, which was a nice touch.Food, while pricey, was absolutely delicious. Portions are small so order some side dishes along with your dinner. My only issue on food were the crab cocktail starters and the oysters. The crab cocktail left much to be desired and overall a regrettable purchase. The oysters weren't terrible but likewise, was regrettable, there are far better options for oysters for a similar price point.Overall I had a great experience They even gave us a platter of cheese and fruit as a free service at the end. The fruit wasnt exactly fresh by any means but cant complain about free stuff and the gesture was kind. More...

My wife and I celebrated our 19th here, the hospitality was great! Douglas our sever was on point! The ambiance was great! When reserving a table, it was a snap online and I requested a red rose for the table, they met my expectations above and beyond. Yes the price is higher, but the food was fantastic! For the appetizer we had the Escargot, delicious! Prefect blend of buttery, garlic and herbs. Ceasar Salad is made table side and was terrific!We both had the Baseball Cut Sirloin, perfectly cooked and great flavor, I had mine with a baked potato and she had the asparagus. Overall it is must in Portland. They are located next to the Benson Hotel in downtown. More...

The two thing you must get when going are the table side ceaser salad and the chateaubriand. Also if it's your birthday you get some nice decorations on your table as a bonus.

This is a fabulous resturant and the service was incredible. The food was delicious, the crab bisque was the best I have ever tasted. Overall it was a wonderful culinary experience and could rival any you may have in some on NYC's most famous restaurants. More...

Love this restaurant! The ambiance, our table, the food- it was all perfect. Our server Brandon was absolutely amazing! He made a delicious steak tartare and Caesar salad table side. He ensured my husband had the perfect glass of wine. All around he helped make my birthday dinner incredibly special. Total professional! Will return. More...

We chose El Gaucho to conclude a business summit in Portland based on a great experience at a Christmas party nearly 10 years ago and again had my expectations exceeded by the quality of food-- but especially by the attention of our server Sundiata. Our entire group was comprised of sales professionals and very quickly we were all taking notes on Sundiata's enthusiasm, heart, delivery and cadence. He made our night. Looking forward to returning to his section in the future. More...
