Gaucho - Edinburgh

Food was very good but had to wait in the bar area for over 30mins for our table to be ready, only to be informed that the nice table we'd been assured had been arranged for my wife's birthday meal wasn't available so we were squeezed in next to another couple instead. The waiter was friendly but not particularly attentive as he was clearly rushed off his feet with other tables. I've enjoyed Gauchos before elsewhere but this time in Edinburgh was a disappointing experience.

Overall the experience was good. The service as always was great and the ambience was lovely. However my steak was really overdone - medium and it was well-well done, however as I had waited a while on it I didn't send it back, but I did point it out to the waiter and he sent the maitre d over and he agreed.

Wouldn't stop me going back, but I'm not sure how a steak restaurant can cook a steak incorrectly.

We had the best steaks ever! There was a DJ playing in the background which added to the experience for us, could not fault anything

Great atmosphere- excellent food

We have been to Gaucho many times as the food, wine, service and whole experience is great. There was a mix up with our order this time, but it was put right quickly with apologies and offer of free coffees or drinks.

we had a fantastic lunch with fillet steaks and Merlot wine - brilliant

We all really enjoyed the meal. Great service

Very polite and attentive staff, was lovely to have doors held open! We had chosen an offer of 3 courses with a glass of wine for £25, and every course was delicious. The cerviche tasted really fresh, the rump steak was cooked to perfection and the chips were home made! The lemon tart with Italian meringue was to die for! Have already recommended it to the company I work for as we’re opening a new store in Multrees Walk shortly!!!

Very professional staff with great knowledge and advice.

World class dining experience!
