The first time I visited Valparaiso, IN was 2007. My girlfriend was new to the area, so neither of us had a clue as far as any of the good restaurants in the area. It seemed that in order for us to find fine dining we had to drive an hour north to Chicago. Luckily, we happened to drive past Gaucho’s on Highway 30. Not only was the food good, the service was great. At the end of our meal we went into the cocktail lounge. Tanya had recently been introduced to Mai Tais and wanted one. The bartender did not know how to make one, but with a little guidance from me, she provided a tasty beverage. The fact that she was willing to give it a try impressed me enough that we return there almost every time I come to Indiana. Justin was our server yesterday, and he maintained the high quality of service that we have become accustomed to receiving.
