    It took at least 10-15 minutes to get acknowledged once we were seated then several minutes to get our drinks. I think they were short staffed when we arrived around 5:15 because around 6 service picked up. We were in the restaurant not bar for Happy Hour

    Disappointing experience. The host was completely lost and unwelcoming, service was slow, and the noise from kids made it hard to enjoy the meal. Overall, not satisfied.

    Let me start by saying that the server was trying to do a good job but we were left unattended for long periods of time. Appetizers took a long time to come out. The chicken and cheese empanadas and chipas were good! We ordered the tomahawk steak and it was a disappointment. We were there for over two hours and left unsatisfied.

    My family and I went to Gaucho Grill for my husband's birthday. We are so glad we chose this particular restaurant. The food was beyond excellent. We were given bread and chimichurri sauce. It was Tomahawk Tuesday, so they offered a deal on the Tomahawk steak. It was the most delicious, melt in your mouth steak I have ever had. It came with potatoes with bacon, sauteed vegetables and empanadas. All of the food was delicious , well flavored and hot. The servers were very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    My second visit, first for my sister-in-law and brother, for a birthday dinner celebration. Amazing food and drinks, and the server provided cordial and prompt service. Overall, it was a great experience.

    First time eating at an Argentinean steakhouse. I expected the best quality for the price I paid for my dinner with all respect to all my Argentinean friend's apple bees has better steaks. few comments 1. chorizo Argentino should be called American sausage. 2. ribs overcooked. 3. pollo a las brasas should be called over smoked chicken 4. the lowest quality steaks I ever tasted go to the Mexican store and you can get this for $5.99 per pound. I would recommend the management to go trained on meat cuts (at least go to YouTube and learn)

    Server is nice, ambiance is great, but service was s-l-o-w. They didn't have ingredients for several of the cocktails on the menu so, wine it was. BUT the bottle of wine we ordered didn't come until after the appetizer came (and that was about a 20 minute wait). Their corn side dish is delicious. Rib eye steak... meh. Expected more from an Argentinian steakhouse.
