Highly recommended are the aged meats and the wild mushroom risotto. The New York Steak done rare/medium rare can be ordered for either one person or two and is one of the best I've had in Seattle. I was somewhat dissapointed by the veal masala, at least in comparison to the NYSteak. The wild mushroom risotto is *the* best in Seattle, hands down, Unless someone can recommend a better one elsewhere. El Gaucho's can add up though. Dinner for two (two entrees) with drinks, possible appetizers can run approx. $70 at least. Of course if one person orders the risotto and the other a meat or seafood based dish, two will be fed extremely well (and a cheaper bill) and won't leave overstuffed, as is usually the case at El Gaucho... On another note, my partner and I will be trying The Metropolitan Grill this weekend. Neither of us have ever tried it. ANy recommendations? s
