"I am from the US it was my birthday and a clerk at gap recommended it. I had Uruguay Filet of beef with green beans a salad shock was all good. They brought my dessert out on a white platter with happy birthday written in chocolate. I had cheesecake with fruit topping so good! Our waitress was exceptional. Good place for a nice dinner."

"Allowed to book onto the set menu for 7:30, arrived and told the set menu isn’t available after 7. Spoke with the manager who was rude, unable to deal with accordingly and actually had no experience in handling with issues. One person missed off for drinks and another wrong item arrived on the table when the food did arrive. Lovely food but well over priced and no service to match"

"The experience was good overall. Unfortunately there was a few downfalls. The starters came out extremely quick and the sausage was overcooked (burnt). No one checked to see if the food was ok and the plates were taken away with addressing us. The mains were nice but WELL over seasoned, half way through the steak had to stop to take on water. We also had an additional dish put on our table that we hadn't ordered. I did say we would keep it (as it looked nice) but the waiter just took it away. the desserts were really nice and the non alcoholic cocktails were fantastic."

"The staff is always very friendly and friendly. Unfortunately, the steaks we received, both Sirloin, but one was very poor quality and fat throughout the whole piece, like a ribeye. Waiters tried to sort it our and new, but extremely boiled, I would say Rare best. We traded steaks because it doesn't make me too much. They removed this steak from the bill, which had slightly improved the evening. I hope it's a one-off."

"We ordered the wellington and it was over cooked. Two of the pieces were almost grey.. probably because it was standing under the heating lamp for more than 10 minutes before they served it. The mash was also cold. When we told the waiter he replied.. but it's only these two pieces that are over cooked right? And he kind of walked away. Paying 215 pounds for cold over cooked food was not a great experience. Bit of a tourist trap really."

"Restaurant staff was pleasant but not well trained… service was mediocre. The tables for two were on top of each other…. Uncomfortably close. We ordered the beef Wellington for 2. It was delicious but served lukewarm. I was disappointed in this restaurant. You can get superior food and service at a high end chain steakhouse in the USA ie Morton’s, Del Frisco’s, Capital Grille etc. I guess I expected too much."

"I often come to gaucho and to say I was disappointed last night would be an understatement. My fiancé and I both ordered fillet steak, well I have never seen a cut of fillet steak as flat as the ones we had and the taste wasn’t great either. The chips were over cooked and we couldn’t eat them, the peppercorn sauce was so watery and didn’t taste anything like peppercorn, I couldn’t finish my meal. I wanted to make a complaint on the night as I wasn’t prepared to pay for my main meal but my fiancé told me to rather write a review afterwards as he finds things like that a little embarrassing. The starter was lovely but you can’t really go wrong with bread butter and the dessert was also ok. Very disappointing as we love gaucho but we won’t be going back there in a hurry. I’m not sure if you have changed management, but a friend of mine said they went to to the one in Tower Hill not long ago and they were also very disappointed. Seems like a lot has changed which is a real shame."

"Being immediately after New Year and early in the week, the restaurant was only moderately busy and comfortably accommodated our party of 8. The service was attentive and the food was good, albeit expensive especially when one adds in side dishes [chips, vegetables etc] each circa £4 to accompany the main courses. My main gripe is that the wine list is expensive, with the cheapest wines at £35 and rapidly rising thereafter for wines that aren't particularly special, which in turn bumps up the service charge."

"New Years Day the restaurant was busy but didn't feel crowded, Groucho position the tables with respectful space. Our waiter was outstanding, he gave us so much attention from helping us with off menu cocktails and wine selection, to patiently talking us through the meat cuts. We opted for steaks, which came cooked to perfection (not easy to get medium rare perfect but the chef nailed it) with all the sauces which where equally incredible. Advice leave some room for dessert, Sticky toffee, cheesecake and cookie dough are all highly recommended."

"We visited Gaucho as part of an overnight stay to Manchester. We have heard amazing things about this restaurant and we were not at all disappointed. From the service, to the menu to the food and wine, everything was beautiful. It was a special occasion for us so we were there for the experience rather than thinking about a budget as it is a little more expensive than other restaurants but it was so worth it we would certainly visit again. Thank you for such a lovely visit x"

"I spent a wonderful afternoon in Gaucho with friends. We had a long relaxing lunch and we were not rushed in any way. I have been to several other London restaurants recently where the atmosphere has felt too clinical. I know it’s difficult in Covid times however we are still human beings and a warm friendly environment helps us feel special as well as being assured a “safe” visit. The service, the food and the atmosphere were all excellent. Well done Gaucho"

"We went as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children. I must admit the experience was pretty disappointing. The steak was a little over cooked, the chips were soggy (they must have been sitting under the heater for a long time) and the ribeye could have been a lot more tender. Burger was good value, chicken Milanese was over cooked. Service was great and ambience enjoyable. It’s a nice looking restaurant and a seat near the window is recommended, there is always something to look at. Probably won’t rush back."

"We had the Kitchen Table at Maze and it was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences ever and we have been to many top-end restaurants in the major cities all over the world. The service was extremely attentive and impeccable. The food was creative and so delicious and the courses kept coming and coming. We even got to prepare our own second dessert with the pastry chef. All of the chefs came to the table and introduced their dishes. Being in the kitchen gave us the unique vantage point as how efficient and hard a successful kitchen works. I did learn that the UK Service Charge applied did not go to the staff so be prepared to provide cash gratuities to the waiter and wine steward. This dining experience is a must for foodies!!!"

"Went there for a work Christmas do. When the menu arrived in November for making choices, it showed meals suitable for Coeliacs with GF marked on the items. However, through the time up to the meal, there were number of times when contradicting information was received about GF options. On the day itself, there was no suitable alternative for the canapes for Coeliacs. The starter came with normal bread, then a replacement plate arrived with GF bread. For the main I was kept waiting till after everybody had finished their mains, and then a replacement meal was provided as the choice (even though marked GF on the menu) could not be provided as being safe. Whats more frustrating about the whole experience was that the menu when sent to us for consideration had meals clearly marked as GF. If you cannot cater for Coeliacs, then just do not go there pretending to cater for them. Could not fault the waiting staff, who were very helpful."

"We headed to The Chequers, a charming pub adorned in matching green hues, our anticipation for a delightful Bank Holiday lunch was high. However, regrettably, our experience fell far short of expectations. Upon arrival, we eagerly ordered the Italian antipasto as our starter, only to be met with disappointment. The selection appeared aged, lacking vibrancy, and unfortunately tasted stale and inedible. Our main course continued the trend of disappointment. The potatoes seemed to have been cooked days prior, lacking the freshness and flavor one would expect. To add insult to injury, the lamb dish appeared to have been hastily reheated in a microwave, resulting in an unappealing texture and taste. Frustrated by the lackluster quality of the food, we made the decision to send everything back—a disappointing outcome for what should have been a pleasurable dining experience at such a beautiful establishment. In conclusion, while The Chequers may boast a picturesque setting and inviting ambiance, the lack of attention to fresh, quality ingredients and reliance on reheated fare from days prior is a disheartening oversight. It is our hope that the management takes heed of such feedback and endeavors to restore the pub to its former reputation of serving freshly prepared, delicious meals."

"At our table, we noticed that the adjacent table received STK's signature bread right away, while we hadn’t even been offered any. After ordering drinks, we waited about 10 minutes before our waiter came over to ask how everything was. My husband mentioned that we were still waiting for our drinks, which arrived shortly after he asked. We ordered our meals, and my husband chose the calamari starter, which was impressively large. We both opted for steaks. As we were enjoying our conversation, another couple seated nearby received their bread and dip almost immediately. This made me wonder if we had been forgotten, so I asked a staff member if we had missed out on something.... we were indeed overlooked, but thankfully the bread came shortly after. Once our food was finally ready, it was delivered by a different waiter (a runner) to a table next to us and just left there instead of being brought to us. After a while, we managed to get another waiter’s attention to bring our food over. When our meals did arrive, they were quite nice. The asparagus was good, and the truffle fries were delightful—hard to go wrong with deep-fried fries, really. After finishing our meals, we had empty plates in front of us for about 20 minutes. I wanted to order a warm cookie, but at that point, I had lost interest in what was meant to be a special meal, and we just wanted to return to our suite. When we finally asked for the bill, it seemed they were aware we weren't completely satisfied. The bill was £140 after a discount (I had opted out of the optional service fee of £17.50), but we were actually charged £152. I didn't bother to argue about it. For a restaurant that prides itself on its service, we expected much better."

"Visited for Sunday lunch with our family who had stayed with us over the weekend on their road journey up to Scotland to visit my son in law's parents. They were as impressed with the Yellow Broom as we have always been on previous visits. The ambiance was just right and the food delicious we all look forward to our next visit."

"Quite possibly one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The staff were friendly enough but seemed a bit clueless. Christmas Day menu included Turkey with all the trimmings. What I got was a couple of slices of some kind of Turkey per cent stuffing and percent whiter flavourless rubber meat masquerading as turkey. Trimmings' were a small bed of cabbage and broccoli and one (yes one) RAW boiled potato. It was my friends birthday as well as being Christmas day, so I chose not to complain about anything other than the raw potato. Staff apologised and brought me another poorly cooked (but not raw) boiled potato on a saucer about minutes after I had actually finished the meal! Having paid per head we were expecting to get a fairly decent lunch. With drinks and service charge that was added to the original payment upfront, we left lighter and hungry. Luckily we could laugh about the experience (the wine helped), but this was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. Don't waste your money, much better places nearby."
