Food and table service was good
Restaurant decoration was excellent but underground setting wasn’t for me.
My fault but didn’t notice service charge otherwise would have given it a miss.
Portions tiny on set menu. Service abrupt. Decor - too much bling. Carbon footprint shocking. Not worth it.
Fabulous meal and good value
Thank you for taking the time to share your 5-star review with us. The team here at Gaucho, Edinburgh are truly glad that you enjoyed your experience and look forward to seeing you again soon! Sean Weeraratna General Manager
There was a lot of noise from the kitchen.
The meat (lomo) was excellent! But the fries could be better, hard and not warm.
We alsow had to ask salt.
The waiter we had for our table was Thomas. The service he gave was not that personal. He gave is the impression to be nervous. Everytime we asked something it felt as to much.
Hey Annie, We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your recent experience. We will feedback these issues to our team so we can continue to improve. Yours Sincerely. Sean Weeraratna General Manager
Outstanding service (Tomas) and the most wonderful steak. I mentioned it was our anniversary and they created a lovely plate with edible flowers and truffles. Would highly recommend, a great atmosphere.

Really like this restaurant. The steaks were delicious. Chips a little disappointing would have liked them more chunky. The staff were excellent. As it was a birthday celebration they gave my son some chocolate truffles on a plate with happy birthday written in chocolate. A very nice touch. Will definitely be back
Hi Julie, Thank you for taking the time to share your 5-star review with us. The team here at Gaucho, Edinburgh are truly glad that we could make this occasion special for you. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Sean Weeraratna General Manager
Great steak place. Booked a table for 8.30 and arrived 8.15 but weren’t seated until 8.45
The service was pretty terrible more down to the fact the restaurant was full and there didn’t seem to be enough servers. Our server kept telling us “I’ll be right back” so it took another 20 mins to give our order.
The steaks were great - I asked for medium well but was definitely served more well done. That was ok for me it was absolutely delicious. Sides were good - chips were a little soggy could have been more crispy but edible.
Would come back for sure would just like to see an improvement in service and attentiveness.
Food was sensational as usual staff was friendly great service and surroundings

Our Gaucho experience was amazing. Loved the decor- something very NYC about the colours and ambience. Fantastic service, our server talked us through the menu well and was able to advise when we had questions. As avid steak fans, our steaks were the most flavourful we have ever had. Our bottle of Malbec was just delicious. We cannot wait to come back and would not hesitate in recommending Gaucho to friends and family.
Some of the best meat served in town here. Always a favourite.
Thank you for taking the time to share your 5-star review with us. The team here at Gaucho, Edinburgh are delighted to hear that you think our beef is some of the best in town. See you soon. Sean Weeraratna General Manager
The steaks ordered wasn’t the steaks received and although this was a really nice steak the cost was considerably more and the waiter refused to take this into consideration when presenting the bill. Clearly a communication barrier.
Special mention to our waiter, Craig, who was great all evening and did a fantastic job.
The food was lovely - particularly the ducle de leche cheesecake with toasted marshmellow.
Would definitely go back.
Hey Coling, Thank you for taking the time to share your 5-star review with us. It's great to hear that Craig looked after you so well. The cheesecake is an amazingly indulgent dish and we're glad you enjoyed. it. See you again soon. Sean Weeraratna General Manager
Food was excellent. Most of us had steaks which were well cooked and very tender. Starters and desserts lovely. Wine was a bit pricey and music was too loud and not aligned to setting.
Service was great and there was plenty room between tables. A really good restaurant which would definitely go back to.

We had a spectacular evening at Gaucho Edinburgh! From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable. We were seated in a comfortable and elegant leather cushioned booth in a beautifully lit dining room on the basement level. We both had the petite filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. We began with martinis and continued with a glass of wine each. All in all it was a perfect evening, our favorite dining experience in Edinburgh! Highly recommend!

My friends really enjoyed the steaks(cooked to perfection) but the chicken Milanese could be a wee bit better. (A little dry)
The service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive.
Lovely restaurant ambience.
The visit was deeply satisfying. The steaks were sublime - thinking about them brings a grin to our faces. Very good wine menu too.
Hey Neil, Thank you for taking the time to share your 5-star review with us. The team here at Gaucho, Edinburgh are truly delighted to hear that you thought the steaks were sublime. Hope to see you again soon so we can put that smile on your face :) Sean Weeraratna General Manager
The service and quality of food were excellent. Wine, disappointed my choice not available but alternative suggested was very good. Noise level a bit too loud from the music. Whoever sanctioned the printing of the menus should try and read them in the dim light oft He restaurant. Our waitress agreed when we mentioned it to her. When ther Sprint is due try black bold print! Alan Williamson.
Hey Alan, Thank you for taking the time to share your 5-star review with us. It's great to hear you were looked after so well and given relevant recommendations. The menus are due for re-print very soon as like you pointed out they are very difficult to read. We do have tables that are quitter or not next to speakers and would be more than happy to seat you here in the future, just let us know. Hope to see you again soon. Sean Weeraratna General Manager

Pablo (spelling may be wrong) served us, absolutely faultless. He provided first class service and gave really good recommendations. We loved the personal touches for my mums 50th birthday. We had a fabulous time and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend and thank you Pablo you excelled our expectations.

Steaks were incredible. However, overlooked Birthday celebration for our table. Noted it in the open table notes and spoke to the host. Cocktails while waiting for our table at the bar took a long time. Waiter for our meal was very good.
Hey KenW, Thanks for taking your time to leave us your feedback. I am sorry to hear that the service has been inconsistent on your visits to us as this is not the usual high standards we are known to deliver.

Hey JaneK, Thanks for taking the time to leave your review of Gaucho, Edinburgh. We are glad that you enjoyed your dining experience and we look forward to welcoming you back again. Sean Weeraratna General Manager
Overall a good dining experience. My son really enjoyed his 400gm fillet, it’s good that some places understand there are people who might like a bigger portion that others yet not loose the finesse. For someone who has a few allergies they were able to cook him beef tartare as starter, steak and chips as main and a fruit medley as dessert.
Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to share your review! We are truly glad that you had a nice experience with us and the staff were able to accommodate your son’s dietary requirements. We very much look forward to seeing you again. Sean Weeraratna General Manager

A perfect set up in an ideal location for those special nights you want to celebrate with the best steaks in Edinburgh. Very attentive waiters, good food (slight down mark is the 'sides' are not as good as they were last year), excellent range of superb wine (Malbec from mendoza is our favourite) and high quality setting...

Table booked for 9pm but seated at 9.30 pm
Disappointing as it then becomes late to eat such rich food.
Our waiter was great
The manager did come over and apologise but would have gone a long way if a complimentary drink would have been offered.
Hi Denise, Thank you for taking your time to give us your feedback. I completely understand your disappointment, waiting this long for your table is not up to our usual standards. You are also right some sort of compensation should have been offered. I can only apologise this did not happen on the night. Next time yo book with us please do so with me personally and I will make sure we do something for you and you're very well looked after. Kind regards Sean Weeraratna General Manager
