Gaucho Canary Wharf

Bit of a dead and 'cheaper' atmosphere than it's sister branches in the city. Has got great views of the canal, so outdoor seating in summer can be nice. Their daily special was too 'dry aged' which was not mentioned by the waiter unfortunately, but the ordinary mains were great. Kids menu could be a little more elaborate to be fair as there were more families. We tried all the deserts, the cheese cake was inedible, nor was the white chocolate creme brulee, however, their Sundae was spot on! Waiter wasn't first of very happy with us, but then cheered up later and was actually quite pleasant.

Tried their 3-Courses Spring Lunch Set Menu with Beef Tartare Tacos, Sirloin and their Pancakes for dessert. I liked the beef tartare tacos, and find the beef tartare presented in a taco topped with pepper and chilli seasonings to be quite creative. The sirloin was cooked to medium rare and it comes with chips or salad and chimichurri sauce. Finished with Pancake topped with ice cream. The restaurant interior is quite dark but if it does face the Thames, which is nice on a good sunny day. The service was good and fast, got seated quickly (although mainly due to not a lot of people at lunch hour on a weekday) and they got the food out fast. The price is reasonable for typical dining in London, the portion sizes of the foods are about right when compared to the price.

Visited last Thursday for dinner, had an amazing time! Table was quite dusty at first, but our waiter, Adrian, promptly switched us to another table and provided us with a new set of clean glasses and cutleries. Adrian was also very friendly and knowledgeable, and provided great recommendations for different types of steaks, sauces and wine to go with it - they match perfectly well with each other! Adrian checked in with us from time-to-time to ensure all is good, and we had a great conversation, even in Cantonese! Overall a great time, thank you Adrian for the great service.
