Food Quality
Pros:
"Drink options were great, and starters (bread, empanadas, sausages) were incredible!"
"Had a great ribeye beautifully cooked."
"Had one of the best Ancho steaks I've ever had, discovered Tanito, a blend wine, and it's honestly just hit home."
"Steaks were tasty and the chocolate brownie was nice and rich."
"Food was superb. The steak was very well made and clearly a good cut."
"The steaks are the highlight of the menu and are generally excellent."
"Food and drinks of top tier and of high quality."
Cons:
"We ordered medium steak but one was well done."
"However the steaks served for the mains and the desserts left a lot to be desired."
"The steak was a bit on the well done side when my partner asked for medium but still tasted really good."
"Overall food is nice, the only thing I'd complain is their chips."
"Food was average at best razor clams sold as scallops !!"
"Strongly suspect the steak I received wasn't a fillet."
"The steak was not nice at all. It came undercooked in the middle section and had the texture of jelly."
Service
Pros:
"The staff were lovely and could not do enough for you."
"From the moment we stepped in, service is warm and impeccable."
"Had an amazing dinner at Gaucho, attentive staff, we were greeted at the entrance."
"The atmosphere is very friendly and service was impeccable."
"Our waitress was super nice, very knowledgeable of all dishes and knew what to recommend based on our preferences."
"Rossella is one of the best waitresses I have come across ever, she treated us with respect the moment we came in and her customer service was 10/10."
"Thank you to the incredible staff (especially Rossella & Carolina)."
Cons:
"I was missing a fork half way through the meal, so picked one that was randomly left on the side of the table."
"Waitress was a little slow, but I put that down to serving too many tables, not her ability."
"Time restraint for brunch were too strict."
"Sides not worth it at all. Very overpriced for the most basic of ingredients."
"Even though they deducted the fillet it was still a £70 a head meal without drinks so feel a bit ripped off."
"Service was bad - our guest (3rd person who joined 2 of us for just a drink) wasn't offered food or drink."
"The last issue was the toilets - there were not cleaned between each person using them."
Ambiance
Pros:
"The ambiance is elegant and very discrete."
"The décor is tasteful and reflects the harbor within which it sits."
"They do a very reasonable magnum of champagne too, the final bill was good value for the quality of food and service."
"Food and ambiance was really good. We had ribeye steak (300g) and a cookie dough (to share) for dessert."
"Attractive modern venue and décor."
"Great venue with exceptional service. One of the best Gauchos I've been to, lovely decor and great food as always."
"The ambiance is also unique in that is an underground cavern for the main dining hall while the bar upstairs is in a modern glass igloo/trapezoid shaped structure."
Cons:
"Was slightly on the noisy side but what's to be expected from a Saturday night in London Liverpool street?"
"It's a shadow of its former self and perhaps not moved on with the times."
"The drinks were very poor quality (you could taste the chemicals in the poor quality alcohol)."
"The facilities were very poorly maintained as seen in the pictures I've posted."
"Ridiculously dark bathroom & no hand cream??!"
"It's mostly hard surfaces (lots of glass and wood) and can get very loud when busy."
