  “All three of us loved our main steak meal, and my tuna tartar was exceptional. My son was offered a post dinner drink for his birthday! Our waiter was very pleasant and efficient but overworked. An expensive meal, but perfect for a special celebration.”

  “Visited Gaucho Newcastle last minute and decided to order the fillet steak, which at around £39 sets a pretty high expectation from the outset. Unfortunately, the first steak that arrived looked nothing like a proper fillet. It was heavily burnt on the outside, unevenly cut and generally poor in presentation. While the internal temperature may technically have been medium, that alone does not make it a well-executed fillet steak. The disappointing part was that the manager initially tried to argue that what I had been served was correct and exactly what I ordered. Anyone familiar with steak cuts could see the difference immediately. A fillet should be neat, uniform and tender-looking, not ragged and over-charred. To be fair, the replacement steak that arrived afterwards was a completely different standard and was clearly what a fillet steak should actually look like. It was cooked properly, presented properly and much more in line with the quality you would expect from a premium steak restaurant. The staff did eventually handle it reasonably by replacing the meal and reducing it to half price, which I appreciated, but that was never really the point. The issue was more the attempt to defend the original dish as acceptable in the first place. For a restaurant positioned at this price point, customers should not need to argue over whether a fillet steak actually resembles a fillet steak.”

  “A very brilliant restaurant with lovely atmosphere. The environment is very amazingly beautiful and staff over there were massively impressed. Really a lovely place to go on for dinner, however the prices has been a little bit higher than expected but the services that have been received, it’s brilliant.”

  “Food was sensational..bottomless yorkies and beef&red wine gravy as part of the package and we def had a couple of extra rounds of both. We went for a late sunday lunch...and missed the whole midday rush so the restaurant was quiet. Meat was a delight as it was thick cut...and individually seared so had the great chargrill taste we all love.”

  “Great service, Manager super helpful & Maya was a lovely waitress who looked after us extremely well. Our steaks were gorgeous, on the higher side price wise but cooked perfectly & packed with flavour. Excellent fries too (Shame they'd run out of veg but they'd had a busy Sunday)”

  “Decent enough food. Service a little slow. But automatically adding 10% as a tip seems to be a thing - that's a bug bear and a half. I get that for big parties - but we were a table of 2. The service wasn't fantastic so why would we tip? Just pay the bill.... But also, I'm not that bloke that tells a waiter "You've been a bit shan fella, you need to take that tip off".... Safe to say, the tip was paid. Food was nice and the lager they served in the tiny glass was really fantastic; the menu could've been clearer I was buying a half rather than a pint (Had 2 half pints, £11). Unlikely we'll go back. It was fine, But not "£72 for 2 people on a Tuesday night when the restaurant is half full for a glass of wine, a pint of lager, a special and a main" fine. £64 was more than fair for the food and drink, if a little inflated by charging £5 for a half a lager. Adding the service when it just didn't warrant it was just presumptuous, and a bit rude.”

  “My husband and I came to Gaucho for our wedding anniversary and had an amazing night! The resturant itself is beautiful, all of the staff are so friendly and accommodating (a credit to the company), the food is delicious, beautiful steak selection and 10/10 for the cookie dough! I'd absolutely return for a special occasion and have recommended it to friends already!”

  “Fantastic food—the steak was delicious and cooked perfectly to our request. The room and overall ambience were amazing, and everyone had a wonderful time. We had two children with us, and the staff were very accommodating, which we truly appreciated. All the other food was well complemented and enjoyable. We would definitely come back again.”

  “First time visiting Gaucho, and it was a very pleasant evening. We started with the tuna tartare, which was full of flavour, before moving on to the shared platter - the steaks were outstanding and cooked perfectly medium rare, just as they should be! There’s a great selection of sauces and the sides were just as impressive. We also ordered the mac and cheese which I felt was slightly under-seasoned but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Our waiter was excellent! very knowledgeable and recommended a fantastic Argentine Malbec that paired beautifully with the meal. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend and thank you Gaucho!”
