The meal I had at Gaucho's was one of the best meals I have had in a long time! I went there after my graduation, and the experience couldn't have been better. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. I got the square meal with pork loin and the chutney dipping sauce. I can't wait to go back again!

Gauchos never disappoints! Out favorite food in Blacksburg. Service and food were wonderful. Only suggestion is to consider an outdoor seating area. Great location although the hidden gem in a shopping center could be improved. We can't wait to return on our next visit!

The food was exceptional last evening. The meats were succulent and cooked to perfect medium rare and the cauliflower cheese and chimichurri sauces were tasty.
For service, our water and beer/wine glasses went empty for long periods. The menu is extensive and our server took the time to explain the offering to an adjacent table. We were NOT offered the same explanation.
Separately, we are glad that we returned last night. We had an abysmal experience trying to get a table on VT Parent's Weekend last Sept. Front of house staff were overwhelmed and like many restaurants we understand that Gaucho Grill were short on staff. But it was chaos at check--in and we were treated poorly.

Good & service we’re great. Menu was a bit confusing. There was a table of 8 seated next to us and they were very loud & raucous which really ruined our romantic leisurely special dinner out.

food is a bit expensive, 16oz craft beer for $9.00 is ridiculous (airports are cheaper). I would frequent this restaurant more often if the prices were better aligned with the product. Food is very good but too pricey for what you get.
