We arrived in the host is a super nice and God is seated outside and accommodate us to the table that we wanted with a good view. Our waitress was very attentive and knew what to recommend. We started off with the bruschetta and it was really nice. Nothing amazingly special but just nice. I was craving a good chop salad and I know that they make a really good one and of course it did not disappoint. I also tried their tomato shrimp bisque soup, which was delicious. We also got the Cuban Panini sandwich, which was delicious. The kettle chips were whatever I would've preferred french fries lol. I also got a glass of rosé which they have a great wine selection there. And he got some pink drink. I can't remember what it was called, but it was really nice. Overall, this is a stable to come visit you and relax and enjoy the views.

THE BIG: Beautiful Texas hill country backdrop with tons of pickleball spots in Spicewood, Texas…read more Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with family friendly spots for kids to run around. Parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here on a Sunday afternoon since this place doesn't close until 9pm. The place was PACKED! We were fortunate to find a parking spot and there is also a on-premise brewery if the wines aren't your liking. We got the wine tasting which had six wines that were all made from Monterey, California grapes. I wish there were more Texas wines here, but they were delicious. We got 3 whites, a rose and two reds. All different varietals. My favorite was the chardonnay. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the wine tasting was around $40. Pretty expensive in my opinion. I wouldn't go for the tasting and focus on getting a glass or a bottle to share.

I had a wine tasting with three different glasses of wine. The chicken empanadas were delicious with their red sauce. We also had the sausage. I had steak with rosemary potatoes. The steak was flavorful, the chimichurri was vibrant, and the portions were large. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. My partner had the carrots, which were also tasty with a slight smoky flavor. We had the dulce de leche cheesecake as well. It was very delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return to El Gaucho.

This used to be one of my wife's favorite restaurants dude to the brown sugar salmon salad... But…read morewe're not going back any longer because the quality and consistency are just not there. The salmon this time was ordered medium and it came out perfect on the edges but the inside was stringy and raw. I'm not talking pink, but the red, gooey, translucent flesh color. Waitress said "next time we'll order it well done." She was trying to be funny but it came off as a little dismissive as she didn't look at the fish. The chicken strawberry salad was very good except for the chicken. I thought a restaurant like this would know that a salad with bright acids shouldn't be mixed with fatty, lumpy chunks of dark meat. Apparently they use a rotisserie chicken that's stripped by a machine - then they just grab a handful of whatever comes out and throw it on the salad. For the cooks it's easy to remember - if it's slathered in sauce use dark meat, otherwise use breast meat. Service was attentive and the outside patio was nice.

Every dish reflected the chef's incredible talent and passion. One of the highlights of our evening was getting to meet the chef personally. She was so warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about her craft. It made the experience feel especially personal and memorable. The service, food, and atmosphere were all outstanding. Plate is truly a special restaurant, and we cannot wait to return. We highly recommend it! A must stop for folks visiting Austin Tx.!

No that I'm that hard to please. Was looking for an elevated meal with my lovely wife…read more Here are my reasons that, in my opinion, is not worth the price or the time spent. Ambiance - Average. Bar area looked loud and fun. We wanted their elevated dining experience, so they took us to a table in an empty room that had what looked like Christmas ornaments hanging from the ceiling, that was quite warm. We mentioned it and waitress said she thought so, too. Really, we had to ask? The Elevated? I had to physically change chairs because mine had stuff on it from and earlier meal. Ew! Food - good but not elevated. Not for the price. Wine list - extremely over priced. As a partner of a Napa winery, I know what wine costs and the 'by the glass price" is what they pay for the entire bottle. Cellar bottle prices were 3X to 4X plus. Clincher - After the meal I received a call from them questioning our payment of the bill. We left a gift card, plus cash for the tip (we know wait staff like cash). Seems they only saw the cash and decided to call. I expect when the find the card and realize their mistake, they will not call to apologize (they can/should check their cameras to verify us making that payment). In my opinion, this a bar restaurant with decent food. Not fine dining, at all. Go there for a beer and elevated burger. But it will come with a price.

And the amazing warm homemade sourdough bread with the whipped garlic butter. Yes, I know it's a steak house and I didn't have steak but that French Onion Soup was just that outerworldly - rich carmelized onion base with a circle of bread and a thick gooey layer of melted gruyere = HEAVEN! I also had a bite of the ahi tuna appetizer ($14) and the firecracker shrimp (swimming in mayo), tasty but nothing noteworthy - hence a 4 star overall rating. I wish I could give half stars.
