"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."

"My wife and I had dinner here using a Groupon voucher £49 for three courses each and a glass of either Prosecco or Aperol Spritz). It was a set menu but still plenty to choose from. Some higher-end dishes attracted a surcharge but this wasn’t excessive. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough. Standard hotel restaurant decor. The staff were extremely welcoming and provided excellent service. The food wasn’t much to write home about though sadly. Lovely hot bread was served with our Prosecco which was in a beautiful glass it must be said). Starters were the best course. I had salt and pepper squid with a chilli jam which was very good and my wife had cauliflower and keens cheddar soup which was served with a big cheesy croutons which she loved. I opted to pay a surcharge for the rib eye steak for main course which I asked for rare. Now I expect rare to be hot and seared on the outside whilst still **** in the middle. What I got was a just about lukewarm grey piece of meat which, the fat of which had not been rendered so was still like jelly. Inside the meat was dry and on the blue side of rare. It wasn’t particularly tasty I don’t think it has been seasoned before cooking) and certainly wasn’t ****. I regularly cook steak at home and sear and seal it on a hot griddle pan so that it has a nice char but it is still juicy inside. It’s easily done. For pudding I had the lemon tart with clotted cream which was average. My wife had date pudding essentially sticky toffee pudding) which was dry but sitting on a pool of sickeningly sweet sauce. Again, average. It was an enjoyable experience in general for the money paid but not somewhere I’d return to in a hurry or pay full price for."
