I love eating on the patio. We had a later reservation so the temperature was fine. The air cooler was a bit loud but our server quickly turned it off when we mentioned it. The food and service were spectacular as always. Thanks for a lovely birthday dinner.

This was our first time at El Chorro since it closed for a second summer in a row. The positives were the table service, drinks and food (except for the dessert, the brownies were DRY, but they took that off our bill). The negatives would be first the lack of available reservations between 5:50 and 8:0 pm, despite it being half empty during that time period (perhaps having trouble with adequate staffing?). Second would be the absence of valet parking. I was informed this was due to new owners (or was it management?). Third would be the lack of choices on the menu compared to the past, and last would be the increase in the cost of menu items. It has never been an inexpensive dinner, but the price increase was noticeable. Taking these into account, I don't know if I would recommend El Chorro right now.
Thank you for returning to dine with us and sharing your thoughts. We were sad to read that your visit wasn't perfect, as we work hard to provide an extraordinary dining experience. We will look into your concerns and make any necessary corrections with our staff. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and please come back another time. Our menu is always changing, and our staff constantly improving. We do hope you'll join us again soon. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
Briefly this, the waiter Joe was awsome.
The food and drink came so fast you didn’t have conversation time.
Any executive chef would know that stroganoff is a Russian dish and does not taste like chop suey with Asian spices
Any grill chef would look at a 70 dollar prime grade rib eye so it is not full of tuff connective tissues or over fatty.
Any house manager would have removed or discounted my steak charge.
Any house manager would have called back this customer after they called the next day to see how my dinner experience was.
Our bill was over 425 dollars and any competitor in the area could have done better.
I’ll come back for a cocktail and the stick buns
Below is a prime grade rib eye. Not what I had.
Thank you for choosing to dine at El Chorro and for your review. While we are happy to read you enjoyed Joe's service and our special sticky buns, we apologize our food didn't meet your expectations. We will speak with our culinary staff about your concerns and, of course, any necessary changes will be made. We hope you return soon and give our menu another try. We know you will have a wonderful experience. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
The food was ok, we had chicken and beef. Both were cooked perfectly however the sides were bland without much flavor. We also had a Moscow mule, - no lime, just straight vodka flavor. Not worth it for the price, too bad the location is so prime.
Dear Silje, we are glad you chose to dine with us and that, for the most part, you enjoyed your experience. We are very proud of the high quality of food we serve; however, we apologize that you did not find it up to the mark. We will speak with our culinary staff about your concerns and, of course, any necessary changes will be made. Please return soon, and give our menu another try. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you again! Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

Not the same as years ago. No rack of lamb on menu. To loud for my comfort. Had to ask for lemon for water three times. The best thing was my trout dish & my wife’s pork dish were prepared PERFECTLY.
May I suggest live entertainment outside when it cools off.
Gerald, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We were sad to read that your visit wasn't completely perfect, as we work very hard to provide a genuinely extraordinary dining experience. We will look into your concerns and make the necessary corrections. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and please come back another time.

Celebrated my birthday with my family and everything was amazing. The shrimp pot and sausage appetizers were incredible, the beet salad was the best we have ever had (such flavor) and we all enjoyed our entrees (lamb, rib eye steak, short ribs and Chilean sea bass). The service was on point with the food and location.. Last but not least the sticky buns were super delicious and a nice connection with their history as a former bed and breakfast. Couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate!
Food & service were excellent. Great place for special occasions

Thank you again for your kind comments, and we hope to welcome you back to El Chorro soon! Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
We have been to El Chorro several times over the years and, as usual the ambience on the patio was outstanding. Service also very good. Only concern is food prices, especially for meat dishes, have gotten quite high. $62 for "special" double cut (4 chops) was quite a bit for chops that were good, and cooked as ordered, but were not outstanding enough to justify price.
It has been and always will be one of the greatest. Their filet mignon is outstanding to say the least. Our server Ron was amazing and went above and beyond to make our evening special. Absolutely love the place!
Thank you for dining with us and sharing your experience. We are pleased you and your friends loved your time here, and our chef will be happy to know you enjoyed the GRILLED FILET MIGNON. Our team works incredibly hard, and we will enjoy sharing your comments with Ron. Thank you once more for including us in your evening plans, and we all look forward to seeing you again at El Chorro. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

I can't say enough good things about this place. It's beautiful inside and outside on the patio. The sticky buns were incredibly tasty. I enjoyed the shrimp pasta and drinks were amazing. The service was probably the best part, though. We never had to wait for water, our waitress or anything.
