What people say, in short
Gaucho draws support for steak, with individual diners singling out ribeye and Chateaubriand. Sunday lunch and brunch also receive praise. Commenters often find it expensive, and comparisons with Hawksmoor go both ways. Less satisfied visitors describe underwhelming food, a lukewarm steak or poor value.
