Best Seasonal Restaurants in South Side

First time at El Che and it did not disappoint! Ambience is so cute. For apps we got the beef and mushroom empanada. Beef was amazing. My husband and I shared the Steak, Lobster and Beef Fat Fries for our entree. Steak was perfectly cooked and one of the best steaks I've had next to Bavettes. Lobster diavolo was soo good, that sauce! Added a side of the sauce with the fries, chef's kiss! We both had pisco sours for our drinks. For dessert, we shared the horchata and dulce de leche gelato, don't skip on dessert! Highly recommend El Che and will definitely be back!

The table bread is a must. The Cacio e Pepe pillows (so fluffy) and Rigatoni (just a little spicy in a good way) were delicious! Fried potatoes and delicate squash were excellent. Roasted chicken was just a little crispy and so flavorful. Soppressata pizza was sweet and salty. So good. Can’t wait for leftovers. Tossed salad was just ok IMO.

One of the best meals I've ever had. I ordered the duck as my main entree which was outstanding. The starter and appetizer was so delicious and creative I wanted another. The dessert was a perfect finish to the meal. I can't give enough stars for this meal.

The service and atmosphere were both wonderful! The food overall was very good. The sweet potato bisque soup was delicious…the garnish was a little off though - not sure what it was. There was also a spice I could not identify in the otherwise beautifully dressed house salad that was unpleasant enough I didn’t eat it —fine to add unique tastes to other dishes, but not something I’d expect in a basic house salad. I’d ordered the hamburger the last few times I’ve eaten there — always a winner! My friend took my advice and agreed! Glad I ventured out to try the Cuban sandwich - a new favorite. Last but not least the beignets were amazing! Always a great experience at the Gage!
