BarFly's Review of El Gaucho
Spendy enough to break your sugar daddy's bank, but if you've got the flow, this is one of the best places in PDX to blow a wad. Yes, that tall guy is a Blazer. Dark and clubby bar offers somewhat more affordable options, off hours.Ace Cleaners at Ace Hotel, Aura, Bailey's Taproom, Benson Hotel, Blitz Pearl, Bo Restobar, Boxxes, Brasserie Montmartre, Brig, Bush Garden, Cabaret Lounge, Candy, Cascade Cigar and Wine, Casey's Nightclub & Lounge, Club Rouge, Davis Street Tavern, Departure, Deschutes Brew Pub, Embers, Fez Ballroom, Ground Kontrol, Huber's, Invasion Cafe, Jake's Grill, Jimmy Mak's, Kelly's Olympian, Kenny & Zukes, Living Room Theater, Magic Gardens, Mary's Club, Momo Bar Maximo, Pasha, Pazzo, Portland City Grill, Red Cap Garage, Red Star Tavern, Rialto, Rocco's Bar, Rocco's Pizza, Roseland, Satyricon, Saucebox, Scandals, Silver Dollar Pizza II, Someday Lounge, Sweet Masterpiece, ten 01, The Crown Room, The Original, Tugboat Brewing Company, Urban Farmer, Urban Studio, Virginia Cafe
I have never had a bad dinner at El Goucho. It is a place to be seen, or if you wish, an excellent place to hide. I have a 100% hit rate but you must qualify your lead first. This place is very expensive so wear your best ‘doors’ T shirt and let the Lizard King do his thing ...
I take only the very best ladies to this place, or very expensive VIPs from work, sometimes one in the same.
I order healthy; ostrich, pan cooked corn, and a good wine. You must get the table side salad and you must have Sherwood for the main man. He is my brother and has been defining excellent service for years. He is the best Maître di alive.
Pick your best target, take her there, and then score like George Best at half time for as long as Elvis can perform...
The place is not cheap, but if you are able to walk properly up to 3 days later then you probably did not eat at El Goucho.
