I was back in the eighties! 'We dont have your reservation', my response, 'darling it's not The Ivy, it's a steak house, I dont need to blag my way in'. Once I had produced my blackberry with E mail confirmation we were subjected to bad service, insepid and poorly seasoned food, patchy service, 'bouncers' patrolling the tables, complete with ear... more

i went there with 2 of my friends on corporate account (not piccadilly but canary), i don't think we return again for dinner but for a few drinks and the gaucho burger definitely. Pros: - gaucho burger and pannacotta are excellent, must try - wine list is very good - the interior is nice (though dark as hell) - the... more

Abysmal experience. Never ever again. It was our second time there and I can confirm that it has gone way downhill. Overpriced below average food, awful service, overcrowded, very loud speed-you-up music piped in while you eat. I booked a table for 4 -all in our 30s-, Saturday 10th October 2009 for 9:45. We were given our table well passed... more

Gaucho is located about 300 meters from the Piccadilly Circus tube stop this Argentine steak place doesn't come cheap. A touch trendy, a solid bar downstairs (needed as the restaurant is crowded even with reservations) the entire restaurant (including the rest rooms) is a bit dark. Food - good solid steaks with no sides. A bit of "Ruth Chris" or... more

The only downside to Gaucho Grill is that it can get rather hot inside and it's always busy. Other than that, if you like meat, it's paradise. And the drinks are great too. more

I must first comment on the service of the place, it was impressive! We went to piccadilly's branch, and they were full for the next couple of hours! So the waiter reserved for us in another branch, and got us a cab to take us there. The meat selection was REALLY good. I still remember how my taste buds felt... more

But I enjoyed every visit. It speak for itself when they don't give you steak cutlery for a good portion of perfectly cooked red meat. You won't need it. Ok, the price is a bit high but I have never been dissappointed. The dark interior and friendly staff gives you the impression of being a member of a private club.... more

Dining at the Gaucho on Swallow Street was a pleasant experience. The decor is worth the visit. While the steak was good, it was not outstanding. And the service was good, but nothing to brag about. Too, I found it to be a bit overpriced. For a steak in London, I would go to Boisdale of Belgravia, Rules, or Simpson's... more

My boyfriend and I ate at The Gaucho Grill in April 2009. We ordered 2 cocktails, 2 starters and 2 steak mains and it was around £70.00...not too bad for the amazng food. I love the deco and the steak board (brought to you to explain which steak you might prefer most). A great meal! more
