El Che Steakhouse & Bar Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Went here for date night and was thoroughly impressed.
We had reservations (which I highly recommend) at 8:15pm. We got there early and sat at the bar and had drinks before being seated. We were seated at the kitchen table which wasn't too bad. It can get a little warm due to the grills, but overall I enjoyed dining there. The hostess even lit candles to set a romantic vibe (lol). We indulged in appetizers and main courses. The food was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. We enjoyed scallops, an empanada, bone marrow, and a steak dinner. Everything was so filling that there wasn't any room for dessert. The appetizers we shared and each got our own entree. We had leftovers because each dish was just that filling. Highly recommend this steakhouse if you're a steak or seafood lover. Everything was great from the meals to the customer service. I have to say that our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Even the chefs checked in with us to see how we were enjoying our meals :)
We dined at El Che for my partners birthday and thank
We dined at El Che for my partners birthday and thank goodness we had a reservations because it was packed. The night started off a little wonky, we were seated almost immediately however it took forever for a server to help us. Our water glasses were filled twice and we had to ask to get a server since nobody was taking our order. Anycase after asking for service we had a great waiter who was very informative and made some great suggestions! We ordered some cocktails to start off with- a Manhattan & caipirinha. Both drinks were cute and tasty. For apps we ordered the grilled oysters & truffle empanada- with the oysters they add bacon & the (bacon) taste was very overwhelming still tasty tho. The Truffle empanada stole the show! We were super impressed by the flavors, it was Creamy and just enough of the Truffle flavor. We were super indecisive about our mains but our waiter made a great suggestion to get half of the shellfish parrillada and add steak to it- it was great! They do a little 'show' when they bring the parrillada which we enjoyed. Everything about this meal was spot on- the super tasty seafood, tender steak w fries topped with a Creamy garlic buttery sauce was everything! Would 100% recommend! We were too stuffed to even order dessert but since it was my partners bday they brought out a sundae which we enjoyed. We had a wonderful time at El Che and will be back! *our bill came to about $330 (including tip) **parking is a bit hard in this area, we had to circle around a couple of times and then got lucky
This was my birthday dinner, we were racking our brains
This was my birthday dinner, we were racking our brains trying to figure out where to go. The mar de plata was what sold us. It was delicious, fresh and mouth watering. The lobster butter was the icing on the cake. We literally had everything we had dropping in the lobster butter. With 4 pieces of everything (shrimp, half lobster tails, scallops and grilled oysters) it was filling. My partner isn't a fan of raw oysters but absolutely loved these grilled oysters. The service at El che is above par. From the hostess to our server to the table helpers/bus boys. So kind, helpful and extremely attentive. Seating isn't spacious, you're really close to whomever you're near and it gets really loud but, expected for a downtown restaurant that I'm sure gets several reservations. I would absolutely come back again, it was well worth it.
Dined here for a friend birthday.
Service was amazing. Food was ok. I had the roasted oysters that was over powered with seasoned onion chips. But with a side of the roasted potatoes that were fantastic. Tried a piece of steak and it was delicious. I also had 2 drinks one was water down with juice and the other was amazing. I would have gave 5 stars but upon leaving signing the check the sever came over to the table to grab the check and was handed a cash tip. He then waved it off saying that's ok me assuming that wasn't enough for him. The other guest at the table had told him we we're also tipping on the card. He said okay and walked away. After that he had a attitude until we left. Great restaurant but that sever needs a conversation held!
El Che's service moves like a well oiled machine.
The staff is extremely attentive; I observed how quickly they move and I appreciate it. For my birthday weekend, I had a 5 o'clock reservation- I'm not sure if you HAVE to have a res but I'd recommend it. My server was wonderful, had great suggestions. My app was the Italian beef empanada..I would go back just for that and the sauce choices that came with it were elite. Main, I had 8oz filet with a side of broccolini.... as tasty as the filet was, the broccolini was thee star of the show, for me. I can't describe the flavor profile but it was a damn good time. They tried to force macaroons on me since it was my bday, which was so gracious, but since I'm not the biggest fan of macaroons, I gifted it to my lyft driver. This is a higher priced menu so be ready to drop some money. Great for a date night, after a meeting or double date. Seating is great but the place does fill up quickly so again, recommend to make a reservation. There's a parking garage right across but it doesn't seem big, street parking is also avail but you'll likely need spot hero.
Great ambiance, exceptional service and outstanding food.
The prawns were hands down my favorite - expertly cooked and soooo flavorful, the steak was absolutely delicious too!
I was excited to try this place after seeing the chef on
I was excited to try this place after seeing the chef on tv, & I thought his fish preparation looked enticing. My husband loves steak so he had also mentioned a few times. Sadly, our experience here was a pretty bad one. We went last summer & sat outside. Service took a while. My husband actually ordered the premium $45 margarita (because he refuses to wear reading glasses). When I told him as the waiter left, he followed the waiter to change his order right away before it was entered. So then, how did someone still bring him the drink?? As for food we started with the endive salad which was ok. A bit too smothered in dressing. My husband had the filet with dada sauce & didn't care too much for the sauce. My salmon, however, was terrible. It was pretty much inedible. I honestly wondered if they messed with it as they were upset about the drink. The chef actually came & stood outside for a bit leaning against the wall...I was wondering why he felt the need to watch me try to eat this tainted fish. I ended up filling up on the carrots instead since I couldn't eat this. In the end, not just bad food, but bad wine, bad service, & what appeared to be unethical standards.
Ambience 10/10.
Service was 10/10. Food was 8.5 out of ten. I also needed to order and try more things other than salad, octopus and splitting a steak. If I'm in the neighborhood I will be back. I would recommend El Che to my friends and family.

Where do I begin.
.. Well, to be fair clearly they are doing something right because they've been open for a long time. I think it's awesome that they take food allergies so seriously. When you walk in the place is lively. A nice ambiance. Our waiter was very nice. The menu is interesting. I didn't understand the layout. Are all the appetizers at the top half? But then you have some in the middle...is it a new take on tapas...I'm still not sure. I guess I should have done more research before coming. The menu is also small and the focus is steak. I wish there were more options. I think that's the mistake I made. I ordered the scallops when I should have ordered a Steak. The scallops lacked flavor. They sat on a pile of something puréed with a mound of diced apple in the middle with onion decoration on the side and some type of hard chip. The textures were all over the place but there was just no flavor. They needed to add something to cut the sweetness of the apples or balance it out. The wedge Salad was not a normal wedge. Never have I had it with romaine served with a MOUND of crunchy...whatever that was. They left butterfly shrimp with the heads on. So strange. I love shrimp with the heads on....but this was just...different and flavorless. The drinks we ordered weren't made correctly, so we sent them back. The Wine menu is so big that it actually says "Table of Contents", so I'm guessing that's what I should have ordered. I think the worst part was the busboys. I mean they kept coming, asking if we were done. No matter what we said they would come again. I think they wanted us to hurry because they wanted the table, but MAN was it annoying. I didn't finish my food and finally, I said " just take it". The fries were made perfectly but they were too salty. I was over it. This place just wasn't for me. I ended up back at Bavettes for my dinner part two. All 4 dishes were over $100 without a tip. I didn't snap a photo of the shrimp. It was not worth it.
Solid steak house option
Enjoyed this for our annual steakhouse dinner. Service was good, was seated promptly and the food was delicious. Had the Endive Salad which was very good and perfect to split. All steak options were very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Papas bravas were so good but carrots were prepared nicely but maybe a bit undercooked. Duck fat fries were forgettable. Desserts were phenomenal, got the sundae and molten lava cake. Really glad we tried this place but probably a one and done. Open flame fire in the kitchen at back of restaurant was cool.
Very good. Not Great
Great food. Very good menu. Steak was cooked perfectly. Service a little slow. Little overpriced in my view. But an overall Very good experience.
Best Dinner in Chicago.
We did a chefs tasting... WOW! Service was amazing starting with Alajandro on the phone to Julio who served us and was spectacular, then Alex the GM and Wine guide, and man did we learn about central and south American wines, delicious, Then the Chef and owner John checked up on us to make sure each course was perfect. We loved it all but stands outs were- Grilled Oyster, the whole Shrimp, my wife's fav, for a real smoke experience go for the sweet breads, I loved them. The Scallops were delicious and then the Wagu picanha steak, a true Argentinian treat. Huge flavour, I mean amazing but eats like a good sirloin which is what it kind of is. I loved it. We had a chocolate dessert with the perfect Pas wine that was a real treat. I encourage you to go for snacks and drinks or an amazing dinner experience.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Payout Limit weekly and monthly the same??
I see with my user status I can only cashout $1,500 a week. However is my monthly linit also that same $1,500? That doesnt make sense. Why even have caps, the sales went thru and its 2 days after by the time you release the hold to me. The monthly cap of $1500 (if thats what it is) really limits your good sellers profit potential as of that $1500 only a fraction is profit as the reservations cost a lot to reserve anyways at Carbone and Torissi.
Hoping the weekly is $1500 and the monthly is a glitch you can fix for me.

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
