    The service simply wasn’t good enough for what you are charged. Feeling of being rushed, quite dismissive and having to ask three tines to get some tap water and a candle lit shows the basics not being executed well enough. The food was fine, but not exceptional, considering the cost of the dishes.

    Gaucho went above and beyond to make our anniversary special. They even handed us a card that was signed by a few staff members. This extra touch has made Gaucho one of our favourite restaurants.

    Slow bringing items for the unlimited Sunday lunch. The chef having an argument with other kitchen staff for the majority of our sitting was not desirable. We could hear his whole rant at other team members. As the kitchen is so open to the dining room, somebody needs to give him some strong feedback to control his temper and how he talks to other colleagues. We could hear everything and this poor experience overshadowed the whole meal!
