    Great meal at the city garden branch for Valentine’s Day. The meal was made by the impeccable service from Iva the manager and her colleagues Miraj and Kymani (apologies on spelling). Couldn’t fault the service at all and it was so impressive that we will definitely be back!

    I had an amazing dining experience at Gaucho! The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, perfect for our anniversary celebration. We ordered the steak, and it was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection, tender, and full of flavor. What really made the evening special was the thoughtful service. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, and to top it off, she surprised us with a special treat to celebrate our anniversary. It was such a kind gesture that made the night even more memorable. I highly recommend Gaucho for anyone looking for incredible food and exceptional service. We'll definitely be back!

    Beautiful experience and venue. I had the scallops which were divine. Escargot was decent. The white onion soup was tasty but the blue cheese bread included made the difference. The service was amazing! My pisco sour was top notch.
