EL GAUCHO  
El Gaucho is the northwest's steakhouse legacy focused on elegant old-school, tableside service for people celebrating their lives.

Locations in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, as well as the newest location in the heart of downtown Bellevue in the new 26-story City Center Plaza.

WATERFRONT SEAFOOD GRILL
Showcasing the dinner-as-theatre philosophy and signature Mackay hospitality, this ultimate waterfront dining experience offers visitors a vast array of deliciously imaginative fresh seafood creations and 28-Day Dry-Aged Certified Angus Beef® Prime Steaks in an alluringly airy atmosphere. Its thoughtful interior is accentuated by a spacious lounge and an expansive, 85-foot bar that glows from within, alternating between rich shades of blue to complement the colors of the restaurant. The walls of glass reveal a magnificent panorama of Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, Magnolia Bluff, and the Space Needle, and the expansive summer dining deck that hovers over the bay, both of which provide guests with spectacular views of sunsets and sailing regattas.
