[Gauchos, Eindhoven]
There are few words to describe this place…
The food-it was ok.
The service-was truly the most terrible I have ever experienced.
There were tables around us that hadn’t been cleared for almost an hour, or more even! and our food kept being served even though the last course hadn’t been cleared. At one point we had to actually stack the dished up high in the middle of the table….
As you can see below, our dessert [of Icecream and sauce] was served whilst our main course was still alive and breathing… awkward.
It didn’t make sense. The staff were physically there, but not in any mental or serving capacity.
It looked like a restaurant, smelt like a restaurant…but it didn’t ‘taste’ like one.
Although the photos don’t look so bad, I must tell you sitting around for approximately 45minutes [felt like 10 hours] between courses… is well so NOT ok!..
Anyway, we ordered, we waited, we ate…we almost didn’t pay. Then we left to ‘coffee shop’ our bad experience away. 🙂
Menus are beautiful to look at… but buyer beware!!
Entree: Mushroom soup.
Tasted pretty good, but we WERE starving, and had waited for a billion years for it to arrive, it wasn’t until we politely inquired where oh where our dishes were a couple of times did they arrive.
Entree: Calabrese Salad. With olives and iceberg lettuce…. hmm ok! [tasted pretty harmless though]
Main: Steak… I heard it was good.
My sad and lonely Salmon with some green and 2 yellows was also just ok. All they really needed to do was SEASON the crap out of it and fluff around with some presentation, and it would’ve been ok. ahh sigh… 😐
Service, ambience, presentation… all the things that really have nothing to do with the taste [directly], all heavily impact on the satisfaction result.
All these very simple things.
Look, I dunno, maybe there was an accident in the kitchen and thats why all the staff were being so strange….We’ll never know, but I tell you what, I’ll never be going back there again. I hate to say, I’d be so much more satisfied with fish ‘n’ chips or Maccas, at least I know what I’m in for.
Maybe thats just it, maybe our expectations were too high?
They were ‘talking the talking’ of being a restaurant, but not the walk…
They lured us in with great decor and well presented waiting staff, then trapped us in for one of the top 10 worst meals I’ve ever had. Sucks to be me. ;)FML
