    One of three filet mignons was overcooked (medium well vice medium rare). Food is pricey but it does taste good but drinks were good and we enjoyed the ambiance.

    I am very satisfied with the service that was provided. I made a reservation for a party of six people to celebrate my father's bday. From the moment they took us in and sat us down the experience was 5 out of 5. Our waiter was very attentive and gave us time to think while also get drinks and appetizers in. Rib eye well cooked to perfection along with short ribs a la carte. Gaucho grill made the birthday celebration happen, Thank You for making it happen!

    They allow peddlers coming in selling candy and flowers while people are dining. We were told that security won’t do anything. The food was not what it used to be. It was mediocre at best. It lacked a lot of flavor and seasoning. Thank goodness the empanada we had was flavorful. We won’t likely return.
