"Che" is used a lot as a polite way of getting someones attention if you don't know their name and also seems to have extended into a friendly term among friends

Sounds pretty much like the equivilent of the American-english, "Dude." Or even, "Hey Man."

Pretty flowers on your coffee-table.

It's pretty hard to not have a steak here unless you are trying to be different.

Friend of mine is a lawyer for a human-rights group and travels to various Latin American countries a lot.
He's also a vegetarian.
He mentioned that he loved Buenos Aries in his 3 or 4 visits there but mentioned the steak obesession as being a significant obstacle for him. He gets away with eating fish some of the time. Other times even that isn't even an option and he's stuck with rice and potato or something.
