   This app lets you make reservations to 11:30pm. So we assumed that the restaurant closed late. We booked at 9:45pm. The waiter was really pushy on ordering. Food was grate but the waiter killed the experience

   Our waiter was great. Food was very disappointing. First time I actually sent a dish back. Had high hopes for this place from other reviews but I would not go there again.

   Hello! I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the service, but I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your dish. Upon investigating it appears you didn't enjoy your first steak but had it replaced with a different cut entirely. We do our best to provide the best live fire steaks in the city, whether that is a Tira de Asado or NY Strip. I'd love to hear more about your perspective on the experience. I'll reach out to your email address associated with your opentable account.

   El Che Steakhouse & Bar offers a warm, inviting ambiance that sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The service was consistently attentive and helpful, making us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. The food truly impressed—from start to finish. The surf and turf was rich, flavorful, and beautifully executed, while the filet mignon was cooked exactly to the requested temperature—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Every bite highlighted the kitchen’s skill in grilling and seasoning. To round out the experience, the cocktails were expertly crafted, adding a creative and refreshing complement to the meal. El Che nails the details on all fronts, making it a great choice for a date night or a special evening out with friends.

   We had an incredible dinner for my husbands birthday! They offered us a seat at the chefs table and we were able to interact with the Chef and have the most delicious view. Everything we ate was incredible. We had been here before and liked it, but now I think we are in love with El Che!

   The party steak is way above our expectations, it was wagyu flap big enough for 4 people. Probably one of the best steaks I had in a while, so tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection. For sides, we got and the mushroom polenta. Both were good, I especially like the polenta. For dessert we got the coconut tres leche and the flan. Flan was delicious and dense, and I love how it comes creme fraiche. The tres leches was good too, but a bit too dry for me. I like it when tres leches are soaked in milk. The tres leches was topped with candied coconut and these were yummy and I wish I could buy a whole bag of it. All the cocktails we got were great too. Overall we loved it and thought the price was worth it.

   Wow—thank you, Yu-Shan! We’re honored the party steak made such an impression. Great picks on the polenta and flan, too (and noted on the tres leches—appreciate the thoughtful feedback). So glad the cocktails and experience were a hit all around. Come see us again soon! – El Che
