Fodor's Expert Review El Gaucho Argentine Grill

Faux-leather-bound books, tulip-top lamps, wooden chairs, and tile floors decorate this Argentina-style steak house, which has been in business since 1977. The key here is meat served in mammoth portions (think 16-ounce steaks), and the "biggest shish kebab ever served" is also their specialty. But it's not all about meat; their seafood platters are something to consider as well. It's a boisterous and fun atmosphere with strolling musicians, and the kids will enjoy the separate children's playroom. Appropriate attire is appreciated.
