Editorial Review for Gaucho Grill – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Green plants and a high ceiling lend a garden ambience to the contemporary dining room; dim lighting encourages romance. But the restaurant's main draw is meat, massive steaks served with piles of crispy fries and a variety of sauces. Vegetarians can opt for the Provoleta appetizer, a wedge of cheese melted in a mini-skillet and topped with fresh salsa. There are also several South American-inspired chicken and fish entrees, and an ambitious cocktail menu.

Recently renamed, Carvao Grill - please note - I have frequented Gaucho Grill over the last 5 or 6 years, and have never been disappointed. One of the best steaks I've had was there (the best ever being St. Louis, '04) Service is always wonderful, the salads are excellent as well. Bartender makes a killer Mojito, you've gotta try it there if you haven't had one yet!

Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance

Cons: Patio fills quickly on a summer evening.

letter wriiten to owner of gaucho grill: PLEASE READ I attended your restaurant on 11.17.07 for dinner (party of 6) on a scale from 1-10 ...I honestly gave you a 2, I'll explain why: I ordered 2 parillas (mixed meats) for 4 persons, 1 veggie soup & 1 steak with crumbled bleu cheese. for starters our mashed potatoes were brought out super cold as well as our zuchini/squash our meats were pretty low quality @ best. the chicken was very dry & tastless, our steak with bone also was tastless & almost burnt!!! the ???sausage which 4 of us agreed....was a pretty bad, and what made it worse was that it was oozing all under the bottom of our meats, we were trying to clean ???sausage off our meats. the other meats were just as bad they seemed old and not fresh @ all. The soup my god...the soup! was terrible no taste at all whatsoever it was bland, no salt, it seemd super watered down. my wifes bleu cheese steak was better than our parillas , I gave that a 5 on a 1-10 scale. My entire family agreed that we would never consider going back....strictly based on quality and TASTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I regreted taking my family there. On the way home 2 of us got sick, our stomaches were both grumbling pretty bad. I can only come to one conclusion...and one only ...FRESHNESS ! the food cannot be fresh. P.S. the party sitting behind me returned a shrimp dish because it had a bad smell. Anderson

Pros: gorgeous setting....great look

Cons: food quality is very bad
