“The interior was beautiful. It was cozy and you could tell they put a lot of work into the tiny details (there was some beautiful woodwork). Not only was the ambience great, but they also really took in to account sound, you couldn't hear other tables and didn't have to talk over music. The food was an experience! I believe they're still in beginnings, but they didn't disappoint. Served with beautiful plating, the sight was just as much a part of the experience as the taste. We went with the Zabutan which was amazing. Normally we consider sauce on steak sacrilegious--but the sauces that came on the side were also so delicious and complimented the steak perfectly. The prices were typical for this type of restaurant. in Lakewood, this is the first really nice date spot we've had since moving here. So I think some folks aren't used to the price point, which has lead to some not as great yelp reviews. But we felt pricing was on point. We'll be back again for a date night for sure.“
“Service was quick, attentive, and friendly! The food was spectacular. They came around at the start of the meal with water additions (citrus, cucumbers, mint). The food came out pretty quickly and it was all delicious. The potato was massive- more than the 2 of us could finish. The salsas were delicious. The vibe was date night- kinda more lax but still fancy. It was loud in there. But because it was so cute, it was tolerable.“
“My wife and I enjoyed a delightful evening at El Gaucho Tacoma as we celebrated our 39th anniversary. Shelly provided impeccable service and the food was marvelous! We particularly liked the special recognition on the personalized menu and card on the table. Thank you for making our visit a wonderful experience.“

“Servers were very attentive and friendly. My steak was cooked to perfection. I've been living in Washington for 20 years now and I've always held the opinion that every chef in this region only knows how to overcook steaks. It was very refreshing to get exactly what I ordered.“
“El servicio es de lo mejor muy amable te hacen sentir como en casa y creo k son 17 tipos de carnes pero no sabes ni cual escoger como favorita xk todas estan deleciosas lo mejor k hay para todo tipo de gusto bien cocida a medio o como lo deséese.. si me preguntas si regresaría seria una CLARO K REGRESO MIL VECES MAS!!“
“Let me start by saying Fnu Alvian was an excellent server at Zesty. He stopped constantly to make sure my fiancé and I needed anything. The food over all was so delicious , just the wings weren’t what I was expecting. This is a great place for a date night, birthday celebration or family night! They also had a live band playing when I was there! Good place for a dance night. lol“
