What people say, in short
El Che earns steakhouse recommendations with several specific dining details. One diner recalls memorable lamb at a birthday meal. Another describes it as an Argentinian, wood-fired alternative and reports a great experience. A third calls it excellent and finds reservations more flexible than at a preferred competitor. A separate recent visitor considers it worth the cost and wait. The reservation comparison is one diner's experience, not a current booking guarantee.
