El Che Steakhouse & Bar

An independent restaurant worthy of your time and tastebuds, El Che Steakhouse & Bar is inspired by Chef John Manion's love affair with South America and specifically Argentina's renowned Asado-style eateries. Executive Chef and Owner, John Manion, cooks 90 percent of the menu on the open fire, (a 12-foot custom-built wood-burning hearth) furnishing that undeniable smoky flavor to Hangar steaks, pork chops, NY Strips, bone-in Ribeyes, quail, and swordfish, among others. El Che's Parrillada, meant to be shared, features a variety of traditional meats, including morcilla, chorizo, tira de asado and sweetbreads. "It's a representation of a Sunday afternoon in Argentina," says Manion. Ordering empanadas as a starter is mandatory and do try the red and green chimichurri sauce on your steak. For dessert, the caramel flan and cheesecake with yerba mate and a ginger snap crust are outstanding.
