Had messaged the restaurant before hand to let them know it was a special occasion , We arrived at 8.10 .. weren’t seated at our table til 8.45 , even though similar party sizes arrived after us but were still seated before , when I made enquiries as to when our table would be ready was given only ASAP also asked for a quiet table in advance , we were seated slap bang in the middle of the seating arrangement .. although Food was superb won’t be returning in a hurry after the service we received tonight

Absolutely amazing restaurant for a contemporary feel. If you are looking for romantic, this is not the place to go as it is quite loud but if you are going for good food - their steak is absolutely to die for. Service from the moment we walked into the restaurant until our departure was the best I have ever experienced.
I was introduced to new wine that evening, White Malbec - never heard of it but the taste with the steak....10/10.

The service was 5 star however the food did not match the setting or service. The steaks shown on the board before order were not the size u receive. The sauce that accompanied the steak was poor, very bitter and acidic. Not much like peppercorn that was ordered. The £5.00 extra mushrooms were poor, tasteless in fact. Wine not served by the glass so my hand was forced to drink red( not my favourite) as I wasn’t paying for 2 bottles of wine ( one white/one red ). Very disappointed and not cheap. Won’t recommend and won’t return. Service charge was presumptive at 10%. Not clever and whilst discretionary don’t like the way in which it’s done
HI Richard, Thanks for taking your time to leave us your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the food aspect of your experience. I will certainly pass your comments about the sides and sauces to our head chef for review. All meat will shrink when cooked as it contains moisture which will evaporate when cooking. We offer over 20 different types of wine by the glass which can be found on the wine list given to you at the table. Regards, Sean Weeraratna General Manager
The chateaubriand was delicious and cooked to perfection. We enjoyed it with a bottle of wine recommended by our waiter and some sides and sauces which were also delicious. Awesome way to pass a wet February Friday. We’ll be back and would recommend a visit.

Dined on Valentines with our best friends (as 2 couples).
Great steaks, rump recommended, we had them cooked Blue, Rare, Medium Rare and Well done. It was very very good and reasonably priced.
Very swish inside, cool trendy decor, background music not overpowering. Generally a young hip crowd dishing that night.
All in all very good, although disappointed the wine seemed expensive. £49 for a bottle of entry level red and £57 for a bottle of Sauvignon is fine dining prices.
Would recommended based on the steak alone, service also very good....
Hi Craig, thanks for leaving us some feedback. I'm delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your Valentines dining experience at Gaucho, Edinburgh and were so well looked after by our team! Both our entry level red wine and Sauvignon Blanc (both from Argentina) actually start at £29 per bottle..
