"first line I still can't believe that I would still dare out of my warm bed at sub-zero weather for a birthday dinner! but yes, it happened. I must finally visit the famous steakhouse. not only that, this is a beautiful glass house. at the arrival we were met by a beautiful door host who brought us from the cold and felt very welcome. we were offered drinks while we were waiting, but we were just too cold. we finally went down to the restaurant area (up is only the bar and after the birthday girl had a garderobe disorder (again, the door host came to retaliation with safety needles much appreciated! the ambiente was nice and cozy and the tables are nicely decorated. our waitress offered to show us the raw cuts, so I said why not win the full experience. my friends were less interested. aha ha. Nevertheless, she gave a great explanation for all cuts and how to have done them best for full pleasure. you can tell me that I'm getting everything in the offer, right? my friends ordered their drinks, a bottle of champagne and cocktails and I asked for a crippled water. it took a while until our drinks came out, and so we asked ourselves that they had run out of passion fruit for the cocktails and had to buy some! well, I never (I usually sweat so when my order lasts too long, but the first time actually experiencing. in ordering our food, we find out that there was no lammage left, so that the birthday girl got half a mais fed chicken instead. I ordered gnocchi and broccoli with roasted mandel and stylton. ribeye steak has also been ordered with chips and mash. there are not many possibilities for vegetarian let alone vegan, but I had expected to have chips and dessert so actually a bonus with gnocchi. the free kesebrot was late because they had to bake it, so we were given maisbrot with butter and chimchurri, followed by hot cheese bread. absolutely delicious! I was really intrigued by maisbrot. our main thing came in good timing and everyone was happy with eating. well, except birthday girl spinat side, which tasted as if it was cooked over, so she brought her a fresh one that was much better. I enjoyed my gnocchi especially because it first tries gnocchi. I smeared it with chimchurri (we went through two pots of the witness! . the broccoli was not over boiled, so was thrilled about it, but I am not a fan of the stylton. the food went well down and we were really filled. After our table was cleaned out, the cake was brought out as we sang according to “happy birthday for you”. our waitress had her moments, but overall she was a joy and very helpful. I can actually say that all employees were big and even with delays in service, it was good with good character and humor compensated. thanks, gaucho. broadgate for the host of the 26th birthday dinner of my dear friend and a cold night to make feel exceptionally warm! I would recommend this gaucho especially for their service and beautiful ambiente."

"We popped in on a Sunday after some shopping. Coffee shops in the area were packed, no tables busy but we needed a respite after some shopping with our 11 month old baby. We stood at the door waiting to be seated which felt like an eternity. When we got in with our baby who was sleeping in the pram we were told that there was nowhere to pop the pram while he was sleeping but he could be popped in a highchair no problem at all. No checking how old he was etc (he was under his rain over not visible) what if I needed to breastfeed once he woke up? Or if he was a newborn the parents just wanted a bite to eat? There was adequate space for a pushchair, fancy turning away a family with a sleeping child. While I completely understand that you don’t wish to place a child next to friends couples dining out it’s a little unfair to turn away people on the basis of what are your restaurant regulations or whatever you want to call it do what’s morally right surely? Anyway the host was lucky our child decided to wake up at that moment because we were about to walk away considering the rather unwelcome greeting. We were hungry. Once we were seated it was all great from there. They managed to get a £50 lunch out of us! Myself my partner had black blue burgers which were cooked lovely came out within 10 mins of ordering. Our waitress was really lovely very friendly toward us smiley at our baby. Our baby had fish goujons with veggies fruit chocolate pot for dessert. He thoroughly enjoyed it. The highchair was a bit low for such a small baby so would be better if they got some with trays to avoid mess help out baby eat be more supported but he was excited either way. The high hairs were definitely more suitable to toddlers as opposed to infants. Generally a friendly service once we were there felt full satisfied so thank you to the lovely waitress for changing our experience. Just a quick fyi to the restaurant in general not all babies are loud cry. If your younger clientele aren’t happy with children in the middle of the day then maybe they shouldn’t be popping into a family restaurant?"

"Love the atmosphere of this place. This was our first time and so the idea that you finish cooking your steak to your idea of perfection on a hot stone was awesome! The choice on the menu was wonderful and we all wanted to come back before we are it looked so good. The concept is that the steaks are just sealed in the kitchen and served to you on hot stones. They all come served rare with a salt a butter and a sauce. You take the stakes of the stone immediately so they don't burn, and then you cut a piece put your butter salt and sauce if you want on the stone, then put your piece of steak on the stone to finish cooking it and seasoning it like you want. I like my steak very rare so the way it came out with was perfect and it didn't need my cooking. However because of how quickly they see the steak in the kitchen, it does need seasoning so whether you use the salt straight on your steak or on the stone, you do need to use it. Our waitress was wonderful, and suggested that even though a few of us didn't want butter salt or sauce that we should get it. She was right. She also recommended that one of our party didn't have the sliced steak, even though it is still tasty, it's not a good representation of the restaurant for our first visit. The side orders were pretty good. The fries, sweet potato fries, jacket potato, onion rings and garlic mushrooms were all great. The huge disappointment were the seasonal vegetables. They tasted precut and microwaved, and if they weren't microwaved they were old before they were boiled. You can see in the picture each piece of vegetable was very small and for the price that was a serious disappointment.  The waitress was again wonderful with our drinks, with no cocktail menu she went behind the bar and made a long island iced tea herself which was delicious. Even the bill wasn't that bad when it came however, the £1 cover charge each was pretty irksome. Overall the service and the food was great and we will definitely be back to the chain."
