Food was great. Coming from NY where we have great Italian food, this was a pleasant surprise. It was a nice, attractive restaurant, good staff service and tasty dining. It was just as good as being in NY.

Restaurant | "El Gaucho (Argentine Grill)"

OMG I can't say enough about this place. Definitely make a reservation. If you plan on weekends, well in advance. Like when you first arrive. It is a steakhouse to rival that of Peter Lugurs. Waiters take orders without even writing them down. Our waiter took orders for 6 all cooked different and everything came back flawless.

The restaurant is located down some side street a bit off the path, but sooo worth it.

Ribs, ribs, ribs! We used to have one of these in New York. They are famous for their ribs. The frizzled onion loaf is good, too. It has all around great food and is somewhat like an Applebee's or Chili's. The menu has pretty much American cuisine. If you're into the Applebee's/Chili's thing, you will love this place. It can be crowded during peak hours.
