El Gaucho steakhouse, the new Argentinean flavored restaurant, has already made its mark. I have been there 2 times, and each time I left completely satisfied.
When you walk in, you feel completely surrounded in this really warm, and inviting environment. Everyone is out to please you. The waitresses are so helpful and sweet, you just want to pinch thier cheeks! ( I almost did when one of them kept refilling our bread basket!)
The most delicious and fresh baguettes are served as you place your order. The first time I was there I was not that hungry, so I ordered a salad. It was the Coconut Pineapple Salad. It had lettuce, pineapple, walnuts, grilled strips of juicy chicken, coconut, and a vinaigrette dressing. It was really light and refreshing. The second time I went, boy, was I hungry so steak was on my mind!! I ordered the Entrania, an amazingly succulent skirt steak served with 2 side dishes, garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. They brought us a few delicious steak sauces and it really complimented the steak. My dinner companion ordered the Rib Eye Steak, and she was really satisfied ( she is really hard to please when it comes to steak.)
For dessert, ( I was so full already, but hey, my friend was paying, so why not?) we got the grilled apple cobbler served with vanilla ice cream. It was really good, and a perfect way to end our meal.
El Gaucho is located at 4102 18th ave in Brooklyn.
I rate El Gaucho Glatt 4 stars.

Hibachi Steakhouse
Hibachi Steakhouse was a fun night out!
If you do not know what it means, it means there are table-top grills with seats around them, and U watch them grill ur food and they perform flips and stuff with ur food!
We were seated at a table with another family at the other side, it was fine. They then served a cold salad with ginger dressing. THe dressing was really interesting, and I would have really enjoyed it had the lettuce not been wilted and horrible..
The chef then arrived, wheeling a cart with our raw meat orders on it. He then proceeded to light the grill with fire, and flame up an onion, it was exciting, but was nervous of burning my sheital off! He then dumped raw veggies, and rice on the grill, and tossed it around to coat it with teriyaki sauce. Then came the meat. We ordered a mix grill of steak and chicken. It was really good. All in all, it was a different night out, prices were decent, and the food was good!

Bon apetite!

Rimonim
Located on Coney Island and Ave J, Rimonim is a gem.
I have been there 4 times, and every time I walk out so satisfied, and so happy, I promise to go back again very soon. The decor is so tastefull, and relaxing. I specially love the beaded curtains.
The service is the best EVER. Hands down. THey are so attentive to your needs, and ready to please you. THe bread is delicious and served with 2 dips.
The prime yoshida is a winner. I got it 3 out of 4 times! One time it was really fatty, so they got me a new one right away. The side dishes are delicious, like onion flowers and herbed potatoes, and the presentation is stunning.
I will have to write about Rimonim again once I remember what else I got there, but go check it out, it is worth every penny.

solo nyc
solo was eh. The service was good enough, had to wait for ages to get our order taken, but our waiter was very nice, and took us thru the menu. I hate restaurants where they give u a piece of bread, and leave with the basket. Excuse me, I like more bread than that! I can eat the whole basket! I usually dont eat the whole day when I know I'm going out to eat!!
The chummous they give u ( they actually leave that on the table! yippee!!) it was really the best tasting chummous I ever tasted. Rich, creamy, and delicious flavor!
We did not order an appetizer. nothing sounded tempting. And I do not want to spend almost 20 bucks on soup, thank you very much.
We went straight to main dishes. I got the reserve cut steak. And let me tell you, it was a mighty reserved looking piece of steak at that! The thing was tiny. Oh, and make sure you order a side dish for an additional 8 bucks, cuz the side dishes they list with the steaks are merely garnishes. THEY FAILED TO MENTION THAT. And by the time we finally realized that, it was too late to order side dishes, we just wanted to eat.
The same went for my hubbys steak. His was slightly larger than mine, it was really delicious. It was called the Argentenian steak. They brought us delicious steak sauces, and I reccomend the red wine sauce.
Dessert was the chocolate souffle of course, with pecan ice cream. A perfect way to end our snack, I mean, meal.
Overall, SOLO serves great food, but it comes with a price. A hefty one at that.
