  “Food was average, watery pepper sauce, red wine jus was like water not a jus.. no flavour.. cheese and truffle croquettes couldn’t taste any truffle in them at all… chateaubriand was £115 and average. Lacking atmosphere and character. Won’t come back… prawn starter was really good but overall it is very experience for a mediocre dining experience. Service was great however.”

  “Went for the £10 lunch pp. Awesome deal, meagre portions but what can we expect with those prices for 2 courses right? Tasty food, with generous lobster for the linguine and probably the best steak sandwich I've had in a long time but the dessert - coconut panna cotta was probably the worst I've ever had - grainy, overset, tasteless with an over done, curdled mango coulis. We added the truffle potato croquettes to our order from the a la carte menu and the portion size for it was generous, understandably at full price. Tasted fab. Pricey drinks hence we spent £45+ despite the deal. The ambience is geared towards night time - dark, moody, in a basement so was particularly odd on a hot summer's day. Service was good if a bit icy.”

  “Nice ambience (we don't like loud or too rowdy places). Gorgeous steaks. The best we've had. Lovely cocktails. Great service. Perfect for a date night as we chatted away all during it. Not too close to others.”

  “Overall a decent experience Visited on a Tuesday evening, restaurant was busy and buzzy - a few graduation groups in. We went for snacks, starters and mains. Snacks were decent. Starters of tuna tartare ok - lots of avocado, some nice heat from the dressing and the topping gave a great crunch to an otherwise soft textured dish. What should have been the star of the show - the tuna - was sadly overwhelmed by the other elements, especially that avocado which smothered the flavour and texture. Less would be more in this case. Mains were rib eye steaks which were cooked bang on medium rare, appeared to be well rested and some good grill lines for flavour. Couldn’t really fault it. The mushrooms alongside were also nicely done. Chips that came with were a bit of a small portion. Drinks wise, an excellent Albariño was a great match for the snacks and the tartare. We then had a red we had bought with us, paying £35 for corkage. Service in the main good - friendly and attentive. Not cheap but pricing looks on a par with other more ‘premium’ restaurants of this type.”

  “Fantastic experience from start to finish. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. The staff were incredibly accommodating to our dog and even treated her to a complimentary steak, which was a lovely touch. Our own steaks were cooked perfectly, and the service was exceptional throughout. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place.”

  “Had a lovely experience at Gauchos this evening, the staff were great and the waiter who served us was very attentive and friendly. We were celebrating an early birthday and they kindly gave me a personalised birthday brownie with 'Happy Birthday' written on it which was a lovely touch xx”

  “My partner and I had an overnight stay in Leeds and really fancied a steak for dinner so we decided to try here. Although we hadn’t booked as it was fairy early on a Thursday there wasn’t a problem getting us a table. Lovely restaurant inside, most of the staff were really lovely and attentive. Our starters were absolutely amazing! The steaks were great, and cooked exactly as we asked for ( first time in a few years I’ve actually had my steak rare as I like it as it’s more often than not over cooked despite asking ) Our only complaint was it was just far too over seasoned, just too salty. I would definitely go again but ask for less seasoning. The wine we picked as really nice too. Would recommend this place if you are in the area.”

  “I have to be honest the main course was disappointing. I had the three course set menu. The prawn starter was amazing, well balanced and the sauce was deliciously addictive. The pancake desert was also delicious with caramel and a nutty ice cream. The main course however was disappointing. Yes the rump steak wasn’t the biggest which is to be expected with the amount I paid. But the sauce was just seaweed and olive oil. With the chips there wasn’t many flavours on the dish apart from salt. It needed a sweetness, creaminess or umami flavour to elevate the dish. Even a side salad would have added more. It was also only mildly filling. Service was a little rushed although I was alone which may have been why. Atmosphere was amazing coming down the basement of a grand building into the dimly lit room made me expect more. But the overall price was good as I came here fancying a steak meal but not wanting to pay over the odds. Overall for a set menu a steakhouse needs to have amazing flavours. It was ok not terrible and cost me £33 with a coke and water.”

  “This Is by far the best steak house I have ever been to.Amazing !!!. The scallops starter was marinated beautifully and cooked to perfection. The steak was out of this world. The flavours were second to none and the piece of meat itself was a dream to eat.”
