Wonderful staff,and our waiter Joe is a seasoned veteran in hospitality and service. From the moment we were greated and check in by a very kind & inviting Hostess, to the amazing attention to detail of 4 different a staff members. Being a former Chef I was very impressed. Well Done El Chorro!

While we still love this place, the menue has doubled in price, even the stroganoff is now $55! We will still continue to go but will limit to birthdays and special occasions.
