Fish! only if you are desparate &you don't know how to make it @home!
Went there because it was looking promising with easy going style and cool atmosphere and with outdoors space available too (seldom found in a London restaurant..so it's valuable). I have to admit I got even more enthusiastic when I had a look at the menu.
But actually the food turned out to be dreadful. The seafood I had as a starter was not reminding of anything from kalamari or octopus as I really know it (and trust me, this wasn't because I just came back from holidays in Greece, the ultimate place to have fresh sea-stuff). The fish i had for main was of a few weeks old and I had serious problem to digest it until the next day afternoon...
Payed 31 each for one starter, one main (half fish), and 1 glass of wine...you judge whether it's worth it...?
However as it was a nice weather, we did enjoy the evening, no matter what!...Even if the rails are located just above your head if you sit outside...There is always the bright side of things :-)

Gaucho Grill - The heaven for steak lovers
The best steak place by far...!
I could never imagine myself eating from a plate where every piece of meat I'd cut would be still bleeding. I had been strongly suggested to try it though so I did risk it and got a medium rare beef-something (cannot remember..so many types of steaks coming from different parts of the animal's body) and I absolutely loved it. Best of quality argentinian origin steaks get introduced to you by the waitresses before they get cooked so that you can actually select the piece you think would be more of your like!
Tasteful veggies and other stuff to order for side dishes and delicious sauces to have with your main, all get the best of ratings.
Not to mention the stylish bohemian decoration inside the restaurant, the posh cows skin style chairs, the cool chandeliers ...All make up an exceptional place to take someone special for a great meal!
(not sure about the prices, as it was someone's else's treat :-) but i can sort of imagine, as in London whatever exceptional we have to pay considerably for...it's worth it though!no doubt!)
