El Gaucho Portland offers a sophisticated ambiance, with attentive service, though the dining experience can be mixed. The steaks are well-marbled, but may be cooked slightly more than requested. The food can take some time to arrive, and the dimly lit dining area may detract from the presentation. However, the restaurant strives to provide a memorable celebration, as evidenced by the positive experience for a birthday party.
The calamari is delicious and crispy, and the Oaxacan old fashioned is bright and spirit-forward. The escargot and oysters are fresh and perfectly prepared, while the 6oz filet is buttery and tender. The A5 wagyu is unreal—melt-in-your-mouth and packed with flavor. Scalloped potatoes are creamy and cheesy, and the table side Caesar salad might just redefine your opinion of a Caesar.
Live Spanish guitars add to the festive atmosphere, and the service is next-level, making guests feel like royalty. However, prices can be sky-high, especially at the bar, where drinks like the Manhattan cost $32. While some find better value elsewhere, El Gaucho Portland delivers classic steakhouse luxury with warmth and attention to detail.
