Making reservation for a weeknight at the restaurant was easy, since they take online reservations. We actually did not decide on this place until the day of and they had opening for a seating at the time we wanted. The restaurant was not the easiest to find, as it is actually on the ground floor of a white 7-storey office building. Parking is at a premium there. I ended up parking at the car wash parking lot to the north of building.
It was my first time at Gaucho. The BBQ meats actually exceeded my expectations. I thought the meat would be overcooked, but it was anything but. We like our beef medium rare and that's what they were able to find for us. There was a beef that was seasoned with parmesan that impressed many at our table, me included. They never came around with the chicken winglets, but the drumsticks were pretty good. All the food were served hot (temperature-wise) and we did not think most of the meats were over-seasoned. The servers were friendly too.
All of us at the table were not big eaters. I wish I could have eaten more, but we were all done and out of the restaurant in 1.5 hours. The effects of Gaucho can be felt a day later. I need to balance my diet by not having meats for a couple of days.
