TheForkUserWe had a fantastic dinner at Gaucho. Our waiters (2 really friendly Italian) took good care of us, were engaging, fun, polite and made the atmosphere fantastic. The food was stunning, one of the best steaks I had in years, same for my partner. I would definitely recommend Gaucho to anyone looking for a meat experience.Howies Waterloo Place
