Aqua by El Gaucho Menu and Prices
The name Aqua by El Gaucho sounds reasonable-a brother brand of El Gaucho, an old steakhouse in Seattle, specializes in seafood. The raw oyster bar is quite lively. The grilled salmon and crab patties are all solid. They are not the kind of things that can be tired of just two bites when they are set up. The environment is exquisite and the lights are dark, making it suitable for dating or taking important people out for a serious meal. If you want to find a place where you can relax in order seafood and have a less hospitable atmosphere, this is the right place to go.
