| - This mark is really 3.5 but I'm inclined to round down instead of up.
All the buffet items were good, with a couple of the stew items just great, and the skewered meat brought to the table was mostly nicely flavoured, but no 'wows' attached.
Not sure why, but, unlike many Indian, Vietnamese, Greek and Korean restaurants, we've never felt like returning. Given what these places represent, they should be excellent, but Gaucho just wasn't.
The servers were friendly and did well at serving our every need, and the meats were good, but not one cut stands out, not one. In fact, many were somewhat chewy and overcooked because the few lunchtime customers present likely meant they were continually having to keep them warm over open flame.
Hence that we might try Pampa sometime, as I know someone who used to work there, but it seems it too is not all that highly rated.
And the price is not all that small if the offerings are inadequate.
If not wow'd, does a discerning foodie want to return?
Because the parking spots outside Gaucho aren't that plenty on a week day, we drove to and walked from a larger neighbouring parking lot, but later discovered the underground parking at the back of the complex.
If you want mostly a meat meal, this place is quite good, but if you want to be amazed, skip it. Not much more to be said here...
