El Chorro

Nice ambiance and attentive service. We had bone marrow, chicken liver mousse, and tuna stack for appetizers and prime rib for dinner. The food was very tasty and portions of good size. We did not get any side dishes as we did not want to pay $15 for a baked potato or $17 for mack & cheese - this seems excessive. I suggest folks order wine with dinner as cocktails were not good even though they charge $20.Good experience overall, but prices for salads, side dishes, and cocktails are unreasonable.

Upon entering the restaurant, one is immediately struck by the beautiful setting--a harmonious blend of elegance and tranquility that sets the stage for what should be a delightful dining experience. The ambiance is a perfect backdrop for the culinary journey that awaits.However, the journey takes an unexpected detour when presented with the menu. The $19 cocktails, which one would anticipate to be the highlight of the beverage selection, are underwhelming. They lack the refinement and balance that one expects at such a premium. Similarly, the sides, while presented as accompaniments, carry price tags that are nothing short of outrageous.The culinary offerings, featuring bone marrow, shrimp cocktail, shrimp linguine, short ribs, and chicken, promise a diverse and rich palette of flavors. Yet, the reality of unavailability casts a shadow over the meal. For a restaurant not bustling with patrons, the absence of several menu items is both surprising and disheartening.On a positive note, the service shines through. Attentive and courteous, the staff provides a glimmer of excellence in an otherwise lackluster experience. Their efforts are commendable and offer some consolation.In summary, while the setting may be picture-perfect and the service commendable, the exorbitant pricing and lack of menu availability lead to an experience that can only be described as disappointing. One leaves feeling that the potential for greatness is there, but the execution falls short of expectations.

My grandparents used to bring me to El Chorro when I was a kid, and I'm still going there today. We take all of our out of town friends here for drinks and the amazing view on the patio. We've always had a great experience and look forward to going back. Food is great !! If you like Happy Hour go for the margaritas!!

My first time here was for a wedding at the venue near the back of the restaurant and I've wanted to come for dinner. The ambiance is very pretty. They're famous for their sticky buns that's almost like a cinnamon roll but less doughy and more sticky sweet (which I love). Service was great and fast. We ordered their pigs in a blanket to start and I felt like it was a bit too salty for my liking and the dough was not cooked all the way. My halibut I ordered was more on the drier side than I've ever had but my partner's short ribs were divine. I'll be back to try something different in their menu next time!

This place is stunning: absolutely stunning. I wish we would have eaten outside, but I was here with 7 coworkers. I'm going to speak only to my dish and service: we ordered a LOT: most was pretty delicious. Tbh the sticky bun was good and weird placement: pre salad post appetizer. I got the special, sea bass. It was...fine? The fish itself tasted a little flat, the pesto on top was bright and summery: LOVE. The cauliflower on the side was poorly roasted and more wet than roasted. The couscous was the star: cheesy and bright with the sauce.Would I go back? Not on my dime, but maybe on business? Definitely a place to impress with the mountain backdrop and cacti.

They offer elevated flavors and ambiance, a lovely patio with mountain views, and a fireplace to set a mood at dinner; making El Chorro perfect spot for dates! They mix great cocktails and offer many wines to choose from. Delicious food and desserts! Service and food is always exceptional. We have been here for a Sunday brunch and dinner. This last experience was for a wedding they catered. They were on top of everything. Food was great. The bride was a joy, but I noticed a couple of guests were very rude and demanding. All food was pre-ordered and accounted for, yet a couple of guests were still demanding special treatment. Christa was so kind and handled them so professionally. She made even the grumpy appreciative. Everyone serving did such a great job. The food was delicious. I never knew until this wedding they did catering. Every experience has been lovely.

Had Valentines dinner here last night they had a preset menu.Ambiance/setting is stunning it was dark out and the waterfalls, lights and fire pits made it feel magical.Food, bread service is what I would refer to as monkey bread it's like a big warm cinnamon roll it was FANTASTIC next time I will request this after my meal as I prefer my sweets after my savories.I got the French onion soup and loved it.We bother ordered the filet and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly to complement the crispy potatoes, asparagus and beets all delicious.I asked our server about the risotto that accompanied the salmon and he offered to bring me a side complimentary with my meal and I was so happy it was also delicious.We tried both deserts and shared they were both yummy but the bread service would have sufficed for dessert.Service was exceptional and Tye our server was very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we got the best seats in the house and were comfortable.Will definitely return.

Came here for a nice dinner with some friends. After looking over the menu, we decided to start off with the crab and tuna stack to share. The crab and tuna stack was absolutely delicious. There was a nice balance of flavors and the textures between the chips, ahi tuna, crab, and avocado worked well together. For our main entrees, we ordered pork chop milanese, grilled filet mignon, and a side of creamy mac and cheese to share. The filet mignon itself was grilled to medium rare perfection. The scalloped potatoes were good, but a bit overly salty for our tastes. The vegetables accompanying the dish were standard. For dessert we decided to order the sticky bun bread pudding and the cheesecake. The flavor of the sticky bun bread pudding as a whole was good, the sticky buns themselves were a bit on the dry side, different from what we were expecting. The cheesecake was standard. Overall, service was professional and friendly, and at no point during our meal did we feel rushed at all. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, with a classic vibe indoors. The outdoor patio seating is also quite lovely with stunning views.

My son worked very hard to find a great brunch place for my big birthday with family and a friend. He chose it because of the lovely patio. Of course that Sunday it poured rain. We sat inside at a round table. It was very nice inside. The tables had tablecloth's which I think always dresses up a restaurant. The wait staff were great. The sweets served at each table were tasty. A few of us had the tamales and egg dish. It was a great dish even the next day. The hamburger looked delucious and the huge plate of fries were perfect. We had a few bottles of champagne snd orange juice. It was a great birthday celebration.

If you're looking for a fantastic spring or fall outdoor seating, great food, and great service restaurant, you've got to come to El Chorro. The ambience is spectacular. The service is phenomenal. The food is fantastic! We sat at a table that was indoors, but we were welcomed by an open double door that allowed us to have the experience of the exterior patio. The selection was wonderful, and the salad was fantastic. A little pricey, but worth it. I don't give a lot of five star reviews, so you know this met the expectations of a five star.
