    Overpriced. Also we didn’t get seated for 30 minutes after our reservation time. What is the point of a reservation then? Once again incompetent management and the customer has to suffer.
    Chama Gaucha - ChicagoResponded on February 17, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your candor. We are very sorry to hear about the 30-minute wait you encountered despite having a reservation. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we are reviewing our reservation management to understand what caused the delay and prevent similar situations in the future. We also appreciate your feedback on the pricing. We value your time and business, and we regret that your experience was not positive. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to demonstrate our commitment to better service.

    One of our absolute favorite restaurants, the service is top notch and they truly make you feel special here but upon getting the bill, we were disappointed that they changed the price to $55 per person to $79 per person on Valentine’s Day. Our bill for two people was $200 I had water and my husband had one cocktail.
    Chama Gaucha - ChicagoResponded on February 17, 2025
    Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the food and service, and we appreciate your continued patronage. We understand your concern about the price increase for Valentine's Day. As is common practice in the restaurant industry, we do adjust our pricing for special occasions to cover increased costs for premium ingredients and staffing. However, we recognize that the change from $55 to $79 is significant, and we will review how we communicate these pricing adjustments to our guests to avoid any surprises. We value your feedback and hope you'll dine with us again.
