Gaucho's - NORTHVILLE

After placing our drink orders, we were invited to explore the salad bar and informed about the restaurant’s procedure (red side up means no meat, green side up means we’re ready for meat service). The salad bar offered a wide variety of options, and the manager also brought out the menu for the evening along with rolls of bread, which is one of my favorite parts! As we dined, Gauchos came around with different cuts of meat. If we wanted a particular piece cooked longer, they gladly took it back to accommodate us, since my husband prefers medium rare while I like mine well done. To celebrate our anniversary, we were treated to a flute of champagne, and we ordered a flan to share for dessert—it was absolutely delicious! We can’t wait to return.

This Valentine's Day marked our first celebration in quite a while due to our work schedules. We wished the salad bar had more options, as it was smaller than what we're used to. However, we loved the mushroom risotto and the caprese salad. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant! My husband really enjoyed his meal. Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive. Although we arrived early for our reservation, we were seated immediately. The food was delicious, and the lamb was cooked to perfection! The dessert was just average, so I think I'll try something different next time. We definitely plan to come back!

We drove from Toledo and were satisfied. Aiyana was our server she was great to feel welcome. I enjoyed the atmosphere with the unique lighting and the waterfall when you go first. Service was excellent, they often came around with meat. Dessert was great! I had the raspberry doughnut cheesecake. The only reason I took a star is that the shrimps did not pass until we had dessert.

Brazilian style steakhouses are few and far between these days, and to be completely honest, I 'm not exactly sure why. I like to think of a place such as this as the best all you can eat buffet experience you can have without really ever having to leave your seat (unless of course you want salad from the salad bar), but let 's back up for a second. You must know that this place resides within a rather busy area of Northville. It 's conveniently located right off of Seven Mile, so it makes for a pretty easy in and out. It 's also very easy to find, and you might have even driven by this place several times without even realizing it. The parking lot seems to be adequate enough to handle the customer base here, but I am sure that during peak dining times the parking situation might get kind of cramped and you might spend a few minutes trying to find a spot. When I was here, it was quite busy and there was still plenty of parking available, so I think in general you 'll probably be fine. While we 're on the subject of how busy this place gets, I would imagine that it fluctuates quite a bit, but as I said at the beginning, there aren 't a lot of these types of restaurants out there, so when people are looking for this type of dining experience, this is going to be one of the places they choose, so just keep that in mind. This place does accept reservations though, so if you 're going to be coming for a dining holiday or are with a large party it might be in your best interest to call ahead. When you walk in, you 'll notice a fancy water panel window type thing with some seating for folks that are waiting for their tables, and then a very nice and spacious bar area. You 'll also be greeted by one of the many nice and friendly employees that work here, which starts things off on the right foot. As you are taken to your table, you may notice that because of how things are laid out, it feels a little cramped. Typically an open dining concept would make you feel the opposite, but in this case it definitely feels a little too condensed in my opinion. You 'll also want to watch your step when you 're not on the carpet. The tiled areas of the floor get pretty slick (presumably from all of the meat sweat everywhere) and I almost found that out the hard way and ended up horizontal instead of vertical. While we 're on the subject of meat we might as well talk about it. I mean that 's probably why you 're reading this to begin with right? If you 're not sure how the whole process works, basically you pay one (semi-hefty) price and then you can shove your face with as much meat and salad bar offerings as you physically, emotionally, and mentally can handle. There are a myriad of different meat offerings and the overall quality and taste is quite good. Really my only complaint other than the floor being unexpectedly slippery is that the salad bar which is also included in your meal price is pretty lackluster compared to other places that offer a similar dining experience (same with the deserts). There just wasn 't much there by the way of salad, and I would compare it more to a giant charcuterie display than anything else. I will say that what was there, was quite tasty as well though. After a mouthful or two of their perfectly cooked, juicy, tender meat offerings you 're definitely going to want something to wash it down with. Lucky for you, they have a fully stocked bar with a myriad of different beer, liquor and wine options. When all is said and done you might be thinking that $65 bucks (or whatever the exact price is) per person sounds pretty steep for dinner but when it comes down to it, if you think you can eat $65 worth of meat, it suddenly becomes worth your money and let 's be honest here, this country isn 't full of small people so in general, I think the average person can eat $65 worth of various kinds of meat. If that 's you, then you 've found yourself a good place to fill up to the point where you feel like you might not be able to walk out on your own. Cheers!
