It looked a great piece of steak- but it was overlooked, so disappointing for £25. Chips were OK but not doubled cooked. Veg was an afterthought. Bearnaise was fine. All were extra at £3 a pop. I like malice, but what should be a good value wine in most restaurants was obscene. Puddings were tiny, small and £8 a go.... More

Yes, the welcome and service is friendly. However, the music was so loud my guests and I could not hear each other. Our steaks were tough as old boots and the food rather disappointing. Gaucho at More London and Canary Wharf are considerably better in every way.

The Gaucho Grill is an institution and one not to be missed. The steaks are legendary. The side order portions are small and the prices are a little inflated. But I have never had anything other than great food and the wine list is growing. You have to make a reservation, it is too popular. But try to reserve a... More

An Argentinian steak house located in the legal district of London - Chancery Lane. Cow print chairs, extravagant chandeliers, black wallpaper and dim lighting. Had I took a wrong turn in to a high end 'gentlemens' club? No - fortunately, the theme of Gaucho Chancery Lane is 'Steak in a boudoir' - at least that's what it feels like. That... More

We ate at the Gaucho before seeing Ghost the Musical. I was very excited as I had heard good reviews. It was fabulous! I had salmon to start and a fillet medallion for main. It was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth! The staff were attentive and well informed about the food on the menu. The... More

The food was generally really good although the starters were disappointing. The meat was top quality. The desert was great. The service was great. The atmosphere is good. But it's all a little overpriced.
