I was actually quite excited to try this cuisine having heard of others who had tried it elsewhere. We ate at 6:00 for dinner which we feel should have meant that meats should have been hot and fresh off the griddle. Only one other table was occupied. Service began immediately and was steady throughout our meal. From my point of... More

This was our third visit to Gaucho and it did not disappoint. The salad bar is very good, be sure to try the chicken stew...it is amazing. For anyone who likes meat, this is definitely the place for you. There is a huge selection of grilled meats, all brought to you on skewers and sliced off at your table. Try... More

Don't hurt yourself - it's very easy to do. They just keep bringing different kinds of meat, and other stuff, cooked in a unique way, all with different rubs, marinades, spices and treatments, all to die for. Very hard to have the common sense to say stop. The chef is fantastic. Not your average steak house.

We had New Year's Eve dinner here and came back with another family of 3. So that'd be 7 of us. Big shocker @ the end was our $50 gratuity. I'm not sure that it was earned. Our waitress mixed up the drinks. The food was yummy.... Just like New Years.... Only the biggest disappointment was my 11 yr old... More

We went out on our wedding anniversary. Lovely set up, nice atmosphere, good presentation... But after a third round you realize, it is so super salty. My husband felt sick after... Not sure I'll be back soon. Hopefully it has changed since then!

My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time and overall, it was a very good experience. I do say this restaurant does have a few "kinks" to iron out, but overall, it was very good and worth the price. The Good: 1) Nice ambience/atmosphere. Casual and fun with tasteful decor. 2) Nice fresh salad bar (small, but... More

Our first time to a Brazilian experience. First off the food was great! An amazing selection as the scewers just never seemed to end. Great flavours with a wide selection chicken, pork, beef etc... Caution: when they suggest to help yourself to the salad bar, Take YOUR TIME, and only take sample portions. Once the scewers of meat start coming... More

I took my entire family to this restaurant... 5 people $330. Not an issue for me if quality matches cost. I and several of my guests commented on chewing on large wads of fat. The meat was flavourful but the cut was hard to process. The cappuccino was cold!!! I did not see the value for the cost. I can... More
