come in early during the summer and grab one of the outside tables , there are a good number where no reservation is needed, the views are the best.

An El Gaucho restaurant focused on seafood , yes please! Don't just limit yourself to surf and turf tho.. Sauces are amazing. The spicy crab bisque also hits the spot!

The seafood feast with giant king crab , scallops , swordfish , and giant jumbo prawns was absolutely incredible. Worth every penny.

Although famed for sunset views , we recommend getting in by 6pm for a signature Happy Hour mojitos .

Truffle gnocchi was amazing!!! As well as the crab cakes !!!

Mark Manchester

The ‘surf n turf ’ portion is very small. Ordering a steak entree and a fish dish provides a more satisfying meal to share.

Terri Lundberg

You must try the Thai Style ribs . OMG!! I love them.

Aqua by El Gaucho's service and professionalism is inversely related to the amount you'll spend. Expect rude or bad service if you've been saving up for a special night out.
