Mo our waiter was outstanding , very professional and attentive. One diner had complex dietary requirements ( gluten & Dairy ) and Mo ensured all the food chosen was suitable. Gaucho though known as a steak restaruant offers delicious fish dishes. Would recommend the Salmon Filet which was cooked to perfection !
