My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with a week in Chicago and this dinner was the highlight of our trip. The staff was friendly and welcoming especially since we were quite underdressed for the occasion. Every course was beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. I don't want to try and list everything we ate because I recommend trying something you usually would not. My wife loves mushrooms, I do not like them at all, but one of our dishes was mushrooms with mushroom breading in a mushroom sauce... I ended up loving it. It felt like someone had taken a Michelin star restaurant to a bonfire in my backyard where I could eat the best and feel comfortable at home. The taste and experience has now become the benchmark we will use to compare all other meals. read more

A must try!! My girlfriend took me here for my bday and I couldn't thank her enough!! Delicious dinner with amazing service and perfect date night ambiance. Food 5/5!!!! The rib eye was perfection. Hands down the best steak I've had. And I've gone to many steak houses. Ordered the rib eye medium well plus as recommended from the server since I like in between medium and medium rare. It was amazing!!!! We also had the branzino, charcoal prawns, spinach empanada and wedge salad which all were delicious. Service id give 5/5!! Guillermo was our server along with a few others helping clean the table. They did amazing. Water was immediately filled, they would clean things immediately and were extremely kind and helpful. Ambiance 5/5!! Great date night vibe! 100% recommend this restaurant read more

El Che is another great and unique steakhouse with their own specialties. Their Wagyu Picanha had a very special smokiness to it while the Japanese Sweet Potato had a warm bed full of vinegar caramel, making it a sweet and enjoyable side alongside with our steaks. The Beef Fat Fries that came along with the Steak Frites were absolutely delicious with its crunchiness and not needing to be dipped in ketchup to be enjoyable. Our server, Geneva, was amazing. We loved how she acknowledge the birthday we were celebrating, gave some recommendations, and even went as far as personally walking me to the restroom when I asked where it was! Service was just extraordinary. The staff paid extra attention when your cup needs to be refilled, when you're done with appetizers to bring out the entrees, and even just helping clean up as fast as they could. After ordering our food, the appetizers came out in less than 10 minutes, which was very impressive as we had expected to wait about 15-20 minutes after ordering. The restaurant inside was beautiful with low lighting and intimate settings. They even had outdoor seating, but I am glad to have seen the interior, sit inside the restaurant, and enjoy the ambiance. El Che also served us a scoop of ice cream with a sparkler candle for celebrating a birthday. This was a wonderful personal touch from the restaurant that made this experience feel like it was extra special. El Che amazed me, truly. read more

El Che is such a gem. Cozy, moody, and perfect for a memorable night out. What really sets this place apart is that they offer three halal steak options, which isn't easy to find at an upscale steakhouse. The steak was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor and a great char. The empanadas were golden and crispy, and the sides were just as good as the mains. Dessert was rich and indulgent absolutely worth saving room for. Service was friendly, attentive, and never rushed us, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for an elevated steakhouse with great vibes and halal options, El Che is definitely worth a visit. read more

TLDR: get the BONE-IN RIBEYE! I was looking forward to this dinner all week as it is listed as one of the best steakhouses in Chicago. And they did not disappoint! We knew we wanted the Wagyu Picanha give it was an Argentine steakhouse but our waiter convinced us to get the bone in ribeye as well. That was honestly the best decision we made all night. I would have honestly regretted it if we didn't get the ribeye. The ribeye is hands down one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was tender and so flavorful from the aging. So if you just get one thing, make sure you get the ribeye. I guarantee you won't regret it! read more

The standout were the Argentina pizza bread the foi butter was so good with the sweet berry too!! The papas bravas delish and and bone marrow too. We so enjoyed and were super happy. They even gave us a cool list of staff picks to visit. Super cool !! read more

I chose this restaurant for my boyfriend's birthday and the entire experience from start to finish was nothing short of phenomenal. Without a comparison, this is the best steakhouse we have ever been to and we have visited many steakhouses in various locations. What made our dinner so outstanding was the food and service. We ordered the spinach & cheese empanada, coal grilled prawns, wedge salad, bone in ribeye, and branzino. All of the dishes were spectacular but the standout was the bone in ribeye with chimichurri. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection over an open fire which is impressive as it is difficult to do. The chimichurri's acidity and herbacious flavor left nothing lacking. I will be dreaming of this steak for years. Our server's name was Guillermo and he was extremely kind and informative. The other servers cleared our plates and filled our waters quickly. At the end of our dinner, we declined dessert, but Guillermo brought out some ice cream for my boyfriend's birthday regardless. We felt welcomed and attended to all night. 10/10 for the food, service, and vibes. We will definitely return the first chance we get and will be recommending this restaurant to any and all who visit Chicago! read more

Every time I'm in Chicago, I make it a MUST to get a reservation at El Che. The vibe alone is worth it. The restaurant is beautiful with dim lighting and a super romantic atmosphere, perfect for a date night or a special occasion. It feels upscale without being stuffy. The staff is genuinely amazing too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without hovering, which I really appreciate. Now the best part: the food. The steaks and seafood are consistently cooked to perfection. Everything comes out flavorful, well-seasoned, and exactly how you ordered it. El Che has never missed for me, and that's why it's always a repeat visit whenever I'm back in town. read more

My family and I came here for our annual fancy steak dinner. We decided upon the monstrous 40 oz party steak and got some sides to go with. The crust they got on the steak was incredibly delicious. It was more than enough to feed 4 people. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Another wonderful steakhouse experience in downtown Chicago! There is a parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant, however the pricing is pretty typical of downtown (expensive). I wouldn't rely on getting metered street parking, so if you don't want to pay much for parking, I would use Spot Hero or do some research ahead of time. read more

Ambience was on point. It's intimate and has a romantic vibe. The service was impeccable as well. The food: it's all good just not great sadly for me. The lobster tails were good. The sauce was mediocre. The filet and the rib eye both were a bit more done for my taste and unevenly cooked but pretty bland. The sauces definitely helped. Empanadas were yummy. Chocolate cake was good as well. read more

Made a reservation for our anniversary for El Che. The girls at the desk were so easy to talk to and they quickly seated us. Definitely a date vibe inside with some outdoor seating too. Our server Liam was the man. He helped guide us through the menu with me ultimately deciding to start with the prawns on polenta then having the picanha with the sweet potato side. The prawns were grilled to perfection. The polenta was nice and light. The sauce was subtle. Not spicy at all.The picanha came out a perfect medium rare. Every bite was fantastic. The sweet potato was sweet but not overpowering. For dessert, we had Liam pick one of the two we had chosen and he came back with the banana split sundae. Holy crap we devoured that thing. Bananas had a great brûlée on them. Whipped cream was plenty and the ice cream was so creamy. The peanuts added a nice crunch and the blueberry added a nice tartness. Everything was fresh and made with love. Will be back for another special occasion! read more

845 W Washington (Fulton Market, Chicago) This place has been on my list forever and I was excited to finally try it. The space is dark, intimate, modern, and warm. The host was inviting and gave us table options. Loved the funk/old-school music in the background. The butternut squash salad was fresh and cold, but underdressed and under-seasoned with very little squash. We also ordered one of the house sausages that turned out to be a blood sausage--wasn't for me visually, but the chimichurri was excellent and my husband liked it. Does anyone else hate when a martini comes in a coupe glass? Because same. And at this price point, the blue cheese olives should be stuffed in-house, not jarred. Entrées: My husband (Wisconsin born and raised fish lover) ordered the trout and was shocked it was seasoned and cooked well--he genuinely loved the shellfish butter. I ordered the surf & turf. Filet cooked perfectly, lobster tail too, but I needed to season both myself. Requested chimichurri and THAT made the filet good, but again... at this price point, I shouldn't need to salt and pepper my own lobster. Additional side: The shoestring fries fried in beef marrow, served with aioli and ketchup -- piping hot, perfectly seasoned, insanely good. They brought a complimentary dessert (vanilla ice cream, fresh whipped cream, brownie crumble) after we said we were celebrating life -- appreciated that. Service and ambiance were great... but the food didn't match the spend. Bright star of the night = the fries. Overall: (5/10) Glad I tried it. Would return for fries & vibe only. read more

100% recommend. Loved this place. Came here for my birthday and my husband and I did the option where our waiter picks our meal for $175 each. We left SO full. We basically tried almost all the appetizers. All the seafood except lobster and tried the A5 wagyu (my husbands favorite). Our waiter start of by asking what caught our eye to help best accommodate including it during our meal. He also made accommodations for this pregnant mama who can't have raw food but allowed my husband to be able to try it. When things just kept coming out we were in shock because it was so much food for the price we paid. A highlight to my birthday! Make the reservation, you won't regret it! read more

I dined her for the first time last night. We shared a ribeye steak. I asked for it to be cooked medium well, but it was cooked medium which wasn't too bad, but not what I expected. The beef fat fries are very good as well as the baked oysters. I ordered a drink which was 75% ice and 25% actual drink. I need to remember to ask for easy ice when I order drinks. The drink was a mojito which was very good. The prices were a bit high for what you get. Service was very good and the hosts were excellent. read more

Wow! Got the Seafood platter and I have no words! From the first step into the restaurant, the host staff and atmosphere was incredible.

His wine pairings were great for our meal. Can't wait to come back! read more

The food was great! I'm only rating it a 4.5 if I could because of the snag with the misinformation about the "Tira de Asada" . As I thought it would've been a nice cut of steak instead of it being 2 pieces short ribs. So when I received it, I let them know there wasn't any description. I then changed my order to the 14 oz Wagyu NY Strip and it was on point, finished every single piece. *Get the grilled prawns! It was my fave app over the oysters! Service was also great and they kept checking in on us periodically to ensure everything was good. Ambiance has dark, cozy, and intimate vibes. read more

El Che is an outstanding dining experience that easily earns its praise and then some. From the moment you sit down you can tell this is a place that takes its craft seriously and delivers with confidence and skill. For starters we had the parrillada, bone marrow, and sweetbreads and all three were fantastic. The parrillada was rich and complex each component perfectly cooked and seasoned in a way that felt bold yet balanced. The bone marrow was indulgent and sumptuous, and the sweetbreads were beautifully prepared with flavor and texture that impressed on every bite. Also had the New York strip and it was cooked to perfection with excellent seasoning and depth of flavor. This steak stood up well to other top steakhouse experiences we have had and really showcased the kitchen's ability to execute classic cuts with finesse. Overall the balance of starters and expertly prepared steaks made the meal feel special from start to finish. The atmosphere was and the service was attentive and knowledgeable without ever being intrusive. If you are looking for a steakhouse that delivers fantastic flavor excellent cooking and a memorable overall experience El Che is absolutely worth a visit. It stands proudly among other great steakhouses I have enjoyed in Chicago and is one I would gladly return to again. read more

Chicago, my new adopted home town, is probably the most "Meat-Centric" [sic} city in North America; maybe even the western hemisphere (sorry Buenos Ares)! In my past four years living here, I've eaten at over 8 steakhouse's and all have been fantastic. My favorite steakhouse was Bavettes. Most unique has been Asador Bastian The most convenient was Sophia's on the Gold Coast Most comfortable for me and the place I call home is Gibson's; and I could keep going on and on! Then tonight there was El Che Steakhouse here in Chicago's Greek Town. I don't know how to categorize this exceptional restaurant other than the fact, it has got every bit of the charm and brilliance of the fore mentioned steakhouse's named above. The service here at El Che was fantastic! What a team of proficient personnel they have put together. From the entrance to the finale you are treated like welcomed guests. This alone makes your time here treasured. The menu at El Che is not your usual steakhouse fare. First, their Argentinean wood fired steaks have this "smokey" flavor that's almost hypnotic. Then they add a serving of chimichurri sauce that just take these grilled meats to another level. Us four shared: * Bone-In Rib-eye of 22 oz. Prime Dry Aged 45 Days cooked absolutely medium rare which was awesome (a word I seldom use) * A remarkable Wedge Salad with Baby Romaine, Chimi Ranch, 'Point Reyes' Blue Cheese, Lardons, Focaccia Micro-Croûtons - A wedge Salad so good that we all scraped our plate * Heirloom Tomato Salad with Nichol's Farm Tomatoes, Basil, House Soppressata, Champagne Vinaigrette, Ricotta Salata which was also excellent * Japanese Sweet Potatoes Vinegar Caramel, Green Chimichurri was a huge hit at this table * I had a great Dirty Martini and a glass of 2020 Luján De Cuyo, Argentina * Two Desserts - a Caramel Apple Sundae and a Coconut Tres Leches Cake - both were the best way to end this really great dimmer El Che Steakhouse really delivered! I will absolutely be back. read more

This was my second time here, came back because of the interior decor and overall vibes. The food was decent, a bit mismatched portions in my opinion: large shareable sides but fairly tiny main plates (the plates themselves were huge, but the portions - tiny), service was attentive and courteous - the only snag was the seemingly random "administrative fee" of 3.25% added to the check, this fee was then taxed and it was suggested that we add a tip on top of the fee. Why would we tip the fee? Why was the fee taxed? It's not a food item. The fee should be added after the tax, or better yet, apply it to large parties only (6+ people). Otherwise, it comes across as an odd money grab scheme in an already overpriced restaurant. read more

Chose El Che for my husband's birthday dinner last week. We were super excited for this experience, and trekked to the west loop. A couple feet away from the entrance, a host opened the door for us and welcomed us. It was so cozy in the entrance and the indoor and outdoor hosts were both so friendly and warm. They kept our excitement going and took our coats. The interior is so welcoming, dark and beautiful. We were sat in the main dining room, and our experience fell totally flat when we were "greeted" by our server, Marco. I only know his name from the check, because he did not bother to introduce himself. He walked up, pen and paper in hand and just said "do you know what you want to drink"?. He didn't really look at us. It was honestly pretty jarring...everyone else was so warm up to this point and when you're looking at a $300 dinner, you expect a sort of experience. Instead I felt like our server was a temp borrowed from TGI Friday's. He suggested nothing for food, just asked us what we wanted. When asked what foods he liked by other tables, I heard him say "they're all good". He was rushed and disinterested, and he really ruined our experience. I wish we had a better server. Fortunately, the bussers and server assistants were lovely. They changed out our plates, made sure we had what we needed, and were very nice. For starters, we shared the tartare, fugazetta, and wedge salad. The fugazetta was not what I expected- I thought it would be some sort of cheese dip but instead it was like a cheesy breadstick. It was ok, I don't think it was worth $15. The wedge salad was excellent- I really enjoyed this. It was fresh and delicious, and the dressing was delightful. My husband loved the tartare. For the main, we shared the Waygu strip steak with the papas bravas as a side. The steak was served sliced on a platter with chimichurri. It was really good, I enjoyed it immensely. It was cooked to the perfect requested medium rare. The papas bravas potatoes were also delicious. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the sauce and bacon was tasty. Also a bit overpriced at $18. When it was time for dessert, the server asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu. When we said yes, he said "I'll just tell you what they are" and proceeded to spew off 2-3 desserts super fast before we could really understand what he was saying. We went with the flan and then he also brought out a vanilla ice cream sundae with a sparkler for my husband's birthday. That was nice, but it felt perfunctory and this server was just so disinterested in general that we were kinda annoyed by the whole spectacle. Overall the food was good, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. I think this would have been a 4 star experience if we had a decent server, Marco was so disappointing that it truly detracted from our experience. read more

Feel this place is more for a special occasion celebration. The prices are a bit steep for the average person walking in. In total 1 appetizer, 2 main entrees and one side is 300$ for 2 people. Grilled oysters for starters was flavorful yet the $24 for only 4 oysters is pretty high. I ordered the 16 oz Prime NY strip for 76$ which did not include any sides; those are an extra cost. At first the steak arrived extremely undercooked so I had to send it back. Medium rare is more like rare and medium cooked is medium rare in this restaurant. Surf and turf includes the filet and lobster. The butter sauce paired nicely and added a ton of flavor. Per our waitress recommendation we ordered the beef fat fries to dip in the lobster sauce which was a solid combo. Overall our server was pretty attentive along with the rest of the staff. You have the option for a high or low top table and regardless the spacing of tables are pretty narrow and close. Expect to be sitting rather in close proximity to another group of guests. read more

I enjoyed my time at El Che. I saw so many influencers chatting about this spot so had to see what was the hype. Now my first time was great but there was a hiccup. Drinks were tasty, salad was a 10/10, fries delectable, but the steak was just not it. It was so fatty and hard to swallow but the flavor was good. The 2nd time I came we tried the happy hour special and got lobster frites because that's what everyone raved about. Expectations were high, but honestly I had better lobster at Red Lobster. We felt like it wasn't cooked all the way or even have a chat with Smokey flavor. Everything else was great but it missed the mark. And the overall price for what we got just wasn't justifiable. Service was great and attentive both times and the overall vibe of the place is warm and inviting. Would i come back? Sure, if I wasn't paying the bill. But on my own? Maybe just for the empanadas & drinks. read more

Food, drinks and service were great. We got the bone in ribeye and wagyu strip. Both delicious, tender and flavorful. Aside from the steak, my favorite item was the Japanese sweet potato side. The oyster appetizer was only alright. The sauce was too overpowering for my taste.

One of the best most tender steaks i have ever had. Went on an annual trip get together. Sat in booth near bar but wasnt overly loud and felt quite cozy. Great cocktails to start i had a fat washed old fashioned and ted had a regular old fashioned -- i iiked teds a lil better but bother were great. Split a rib eye with sean and it was so tender you could cut it was a fork. But was also super flavorful. We had broccolini to go with it and it was amazing very tasty seasoning. Since we split a steak we had a few starters, i love marrow and this was one of my faves i have tried because had a lot of marrow and wasnt all melted and good topping on it as well. We also split grilled (maybe baked) oysters that were super tasty. read more

Simply amazing! From entry to exit, you know you experienced a magnetic evening of food, and drinks! You can walk in, but you are better off getting a reservation, especially on the weekends. I arrived 10 minutes early for my reservation, but they had a table for me! The place is perfectly lit, and the ambiance is more of a romantic feel. Since it is an Argentina steakhouse, I wanted the entire experience, so I started with a nice bourbon on the rocks, and an Argentinian beer called Quilmes Clasica. It is a very delightful beer that I would get again. For my appetizer, I had oysters that were similar to Rockefellers, but not as big. Probably the only thing I regret ordering. I made up for it on my entrée when I ordered the Wagyu Picanha, with lobster tails, and roasted vegetables. This meat was simply to die for! I didn't even ask for butter for the lobster. I used the extra sauce they provide for the steak, which was more than a generous portion. 5 stars across the board! If in downtown Chicago, I recommend going here! read more

10/10 for service, atmosphere, and food! I came here for a birthday celebration and to try their happy hour menu. FYI, you can only order from the happy hour menu at the bar. We got the bone marrow, grilled oysters, steak frites, steak sandwich with frites, lobster frites, mate mule, and old fashioned from the happy hour menu. We also ordered the crème brûlée and sponge cake from the regular dessert menu. EVERY single item we ordered tasted marvelous. I loved how the mule had a spicy kick at the end. Honestly, I thought their fries were some of the best I've ever had--we couldn't stop raving about them! Personally, I felt the ice cream that came with the sponge cake was a bit too citrusy for my taste, but everyone else loved it. The dimmed lighting and spaced-out seating created an intimate and cozy experience. The music wasn't too loud or too quiet, so we could easily hear each other while feeling confident that other parties couldn't overhear us. Our waitress at the bar was incredible. She was attentive and gave us great suggestions for how to cook our meat to best enjoy each dish. She was incredibly sweet and remembered that we were celebrating a birthday. She made sure our dessert came out with a nice sparkly surprise, which truly made our experience extra special. read more

Small Space, Big Flavor! Checked out this new spot over the summer. The place is pretty small and the seating is a bit tight, so just a heads-up if you're coming with a group. It was also pretty hot inside, and unfortunately, even after asking about the AC, it didn't get any cooler. That said--the food was absolutely marvelous. The Italian beef empanada is a must-try! We also ordered the smaller grilled shellfish parrillada platter, and it was easily a 10/10--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. If you can handle a warm room for some top-tier food, it's definitely worth the visit. read more

El Che Steakhouse is everything you want in a neighborhood spot you shouldn't live this close to. The dark, moody vibe is gorgeous, the kind of place that instantly feels special.

How can you not visit this place multiple times?! It's beautiful inside and outside! Chic & Sexy but comfortable as well. Our first time was so GOOD we had to do it again!

The bar staff are literally the best! The kindest, most attentive and Fun! We celebrated The Man's birthday on a Saturday night so we walked in just when they opened, grabbed our favorite seats at the bar and had a great time! We ordered every cocktail off the Happy Hour menu! All delicious and boozy! I'm a gin drinker and the bartender was kind enough to swap the vodka and tequila cocktails for gin which was amazing and much appreciated! Those empanadas are to die for!

I came here on a Wednesday for Happy Hour - it's 5-6pm and only at the bar so get there at opening to snag your spot. My friend and I tried the grilled oyster, the Marrow Bone, and the Steak Sandwich & Frites. Do yourself a favor and skip the rest and just go with the Steak Sandwich! The Steak Sandwich was large and delicious! The couple next to us each had their own and that was all they ordered. The steak is DELICIOUS - cooked perfectly and a great meaty flavor. It comes with a lot of bread and is a tall sandwich. The French fries it comes with are thin and very crispy! Overall I'd come back just to order this again. Lastly, the bartender was also our server and she was great! Very friendly and was always there when we needed her for another wine refill ;).

Service was amazing! Steak and sides were spectacular! Great date night spot! We came here for my husbands birthday.

The ambiance was cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot for celebrating a couple of birthdays on the weekend. Our group needed accessibility accommodations, and the restaurant was gracious, making everything smooth and easy. The entrance had no steps for easy entrance. With a party of eight, we were able to sit together without any issues. Most of us opted for the steak and fries; while the steak was good, it didn't wow everyone. The prices might be a bit steep for some, but the paella was definitely a standout--it's large enough to share, though no one in my group is a fan of seafood.
