El Gaucho Tacoma

This ultra fine-dining steakhouse is the Tacoma outpost of Seattle restaurateur Paul Mackay's Northwest empire, with additional locations in Seattle, Bellevue, and Portland. Entering from the unassuming entrance on Pacific Avenue, you are engulfed by a cavernous room, stepping into what is the mezzanine level before descending a grand staircase to the main dining room below. The focus is on the finest ingredients prepared and presented with exquisite attention to detail – either from the open-concept kitchen or tableside – the whims of diners catered to at every turn. Choose to be entertained by tuxedoed servers and captains whipping up Caesar salad, chateaubriand, and flaming bananas foster right next to your table.
