Gaucho Liverpool — Restaurant in Liverpool

I don't really know where to start because I'm not a fan of posting mixed reviews of places in my home time but here we go.

Went Sat 14th for a combined, day early celebration of father's day and my son's 19th. Great first impressions because the interior space has real impact.

We were sat down and immediately noticed the bar was piled (and I mean piled) with empty bottles and glasses. Not a great vibe when you're sat 10 feet away facing it particularly as at least 3 times glasses were smashed.

The person who was looking after us was brilliant. Really friendly and if we could review her alone she'd definitely get a 5 star review. Also a massive positive was the selection of Argentinian Malbecs on offer. That's it though.

The starters were ok at best. The 3 2 pence sized scallops I had were well seasoned, but overcooked and overpriced for their tiny size.

But it's a steak restaurant right so I just wrote off the starters mentally.

Steaks arrived (as well as more glasses and empties on the bar). My lad was ok with his 400g fillet and my youngest appreciated his burger but described it as 'mid' and 'not as good as the Marksies ones'. My wife's fillet was also ok.

They faired the best though. I ordered the churrasco de lomo. The presentation was that of someone who currently hates their job. The 'spiral' cut looked it was performed with a couple of spoons and the steak was dumped unceremoniously onto the centre of the plate. The cook was inconsistent probably down to how it was cut. Some bits rare, some bits medium-well.

I had it with a side of the garlic mushrooms. They were sent back immediately (I never send stuff back, I'm way to English to send stuff back) because they were cold. I'm mean cold, not tepid, cold! Our lovely server swapped them immediately.

The steak was oily and tasted of nothing. To my shame it's the first time I've used the salt and pepper in a restaurant. Meat quality was great, no doubt, but all 4 of us agreed this was no better than stuff we do at home which is presented with love, care and pride.

I'm not going to go on because frankly it's depressing me writing this but for a dining experience a little shy of £450 for 4 it really was poor.

I just beg if anyone one from Gaucho reads this, clean the damn bar of the empties. It was like a glimpse into my lads student kitchen.

Oh, DJ played some...

Attended last night, expectations not met at all after looking online and seeing they claim to be “liverpools best steakhouse”, I rarely leave bad reviews and normally focus on the good. However, reviewing last nights experience proves very difficult to find the good, arrived on time for private room booking and was asked to sit in the bar as the room wasn’t ready, 12 of us squeezed around the small tables at the bar for 30 minutes sipping our £11-£14 mocktails, (juice) I opted for the only lager on draught which was £5.50 but only half pint!!, the 6 people who ordered cocktails had them all handed out incorrectly so we had to spend 10 minutes working out which ones had alcohol and which ones didn’t, after being seated in our “private dining room” we where told there would be no music as it was broken, also the heating was off so it was very cold. After an hours wait we where finally able to place our ordered from the set menu (which wasn’t great) I opted for a Rump steak and my wife being a vegetarian opted for the only thing available, an aubergine, another’s hours wait and the food eventually arrived, I asked for my steak medium, it was totally raw and cold in the middle, (seems to be the common thing looking at other reviews), a friend next to me asked for his chicken to be looked at as it was raw in the middle, they confirmed this and apologised and offered a free drink!, (again, raw chicken seems to be the theme in previous reviews, very dangerous) my partners meal didn’t include chips! Just an almost raw and hard aubergine on the plate, another’s hours wait later and our desserts arrived, which were actually good! But we where all tired as it was 11pm by then and everyone just wanted to go home, we asked for our bill which included a £160 service charge, overall the only great thing was our server, she was great, done everything she could for us, overall experience tho, highly overpriced, steak and chicken not cooked properly and lacked any flavour which was a shock, I won’t be going back, stick with my usual place, “meet” around the corner, last night was a 40th birthday celebration but after over 3 hours waiting for 3 courses, slightly tainted, won’t be returning and would urge caution to anybody wanting to go and see what it’s all...
