Hello, my name is Danny Hollis and I had the privilage to eat at El Gaucho when I was
there in 1995. I rate your restuarant #1 in my books, I will be in Aruba in mid 1999 and
will again look forward to eating at El Gaucho a few more times. I would also like to take
this time to let you know that the Trapisch Chardonnay wine was the best. I wish there was
some way that I can order a few cases and have them shipped to Bermuda (That is where I am
from). Please let me know if one can buy a case or two of Trapisch. I am very much looking
forward to my next visit to Aruba. I have been to a lot of Islands, but Aruba hits my
heart… I stayed at the Tamarijn, and had a blast for ten days. They treated us very
well…I look forward to staying there again. Drop me a e-mail if you can….. Yours
sincerely,

Danny L. Hollis St. George, Bermuda

My husband and I came to Aruba for the first time on our honeymoon in November of 1997.
We went to El Gaucho on our fourth night. It became my husband’s favorite restaurant in
the world. He practically counted the days until we went back to Aruba in November of
1998. We were back at El Gaucho on November 9th, 1998. I have a picture of my husband
eating his steak and smiling the biggest smile!

Hello,

Last week I requested reservations for 12/29/98 at 7:00pm for 5 people. The name is Ken
Klimasewski. I also requested an email confirming my reservations. I did not receive my
email confirmaiton. Last night (12/15/98) I called direct and spoke to HELEN who told me
she did not have my reservation request and to make matters worst she could not make a
reservation for 12/29/98 at 7:00pm for 5 people. The only time available for that day was
5:30pm. I am not happy about this. Can this be corrected?

thank you,

We were at your restaurant Thanksgiving week and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the
service. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert was outstanding! We are returning
to Aruba the first week in March and the number 1 thing we both agree on is a return visit
to El Gaucho’s. Can you tell us how far in advance we should make reservations? We are
looking forward to our return and the wonderful El Gaucho steak!

Thank you,

No trip to Aruba is complete without a visit to El Gaucho….only wish it were larger
so reservations would be easier.

My family and our friends visited your restaurant on 7/18/98 and even my 4 year old
found something she liked. We enjoyed it so much we came back on 7/21/98 without the kids
so we could enjoy the great Argentine Wine’s and meat. It was great both times and one of
our highlights of Aruba.

We visited El gaucho twice in June. We had been to El Gaucho 3 years prior, and the
food is just as great as it had been. The first time we had been there the restaurant had
not been renovated, you did a wonderful job of creating this atmosphere. It was nice to
see Michele.We had spoken about opening in Miami . It would be a much shorter trip for
dinner. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!!

We’ve enjoyed your restaurant a few times and look forward to a return visit in
September, 1998. Your Gaucho steak is really one of the best values on the island. Our
only regret is that we didn’t get there in some of our earlier visits! We will be writing
again to make a reservation as our weeks in Aruba get closer!

I have been coming to your restaurant since 1988 except for the year you were closed in
October. You have the best beef on the island. My favorite dish is your “mixed
grill” – just scrumpcious. Don’t ever change. Will be arriving October 10th this year
for two weeks and plan to visit your place at least 4 times. Keep up the good work.

You are the greatest. We look forward to visiting your place each year when we are down
there. We own a place at Sonesta Suites and my best friend also. Wouldn’t miss it for the
world. Last year was a big disappointment for us. We were down the 2nd. week in August
only to find that you were closed for vacation. Will be down this year from July 31st. to
August 14th. Please confirm to me that you will be open and we will make our reservations
accordingly. Continued success and we will look forward to seeing you in August. Many
thanks Paul Emas

ElGaucho has the best steak I have ever had and we eat there twice each year for the
week we spend in Aruba and have been there for the last 11 years. We took our children one
year and they demanded that we eat there the last night also. The staff has always been
pleasant and friendly.
