DINING Frommer
El Gaucho
2505 First Ave

tel.: 206/728-1337
Cuisine: Steaks/Chops
Price Category: Very Expensive

Conjuring up the ghosts of dinner clubs of the 1930s and 1940s, this high-end Belltown steakhouse looks like it could be a Fred Astaire film set. The pure theatrics make this place a must if you're in the mood to spend big bucks on a thick, juicy steak. Sure, you may get a better steak at one of the other high-end steakhouses in town, but you just can't duplicate the experience of dining at El Gaucho. Stage-set decor aside, the real stars of the show here are the 28-day dry-aged Angus beef steaks, definitely some of the best in town -- but know that the perfect steak doesn't come cheap. All the classics are here, too, including Caesar salad tossed tableside, and chateaubriand carved before your eyes. Not a steak eater? How about venison chops, an ostrich filet, or Australian lobster tail? There's also a classy bar off to one side, a separate cigar lounge, and, for after-dinner dancing, the affiliated Pampas Room nightclub.

Main courses $16-$90 (steaks $32-$42).Open: Mon-Sat 5pm-1am; Sun 5-11pm.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V.
