Gaucho Leeds

The Wife and I recently visited and shared The Gaucho Sampler sharing board. At the time of posting this was £130 and included 1.2kg of meat across four cuts; fillet, rump, sirloin and ribeye. All meat was cooked Medium Rare (as recommended). The food quality and presentation was exceptional and definitely on par with some of the best steakhouse restaurants we have visited elsewhere in the country. We felt the service was "ok" but not worth the 12.5% discretionary tip that was on our bill at the end. To reflect this, we reduced the tip to just under 10%. The atmosphere was nice but not as good as other steakhouse restaurants we have visited elsewhere in the country; whether this is due to the fact we visited on a week night is hard to tell but it was still a nice evening with candles lit on tables and background music playing.

Really great steaks, perfectly seasoned. Had fillet and rib-eye, medium rare, and both were extremely tender. Leo was great at providing recommendations and making arrangements for the meal to cater to our needs perfectly (particularly with one vegetarian and another person who had never eaten beef before). It's a tribute to the quality of their food that even the latter finished everything! Enjoyed their salmon taco starter too.

From walking in the door, the service was excellent. The staff could not have been more kind and caring. The dining room is very comfy, and the table was set away from others enough to be able to talk to each other without noticing any noise from others around. Drinks were delivered quickly, and we were given time to view our menu and make our choices. Staff came to show us the different cuts of meat and explained more about them. The food was exceptional, and the service was just as great. We will definitely be back. I Recomed the fillet steak, (medium)mash, and the red wine jus. 5+ stars.
