Steaks are the speciality at the Gaucho Grill, an Argentinean themed restaurant that more than delivers in style and food. Tucked away off Deansgate down St. Marys Street, the Gaucho is what I'd call a fine dining experience, with the emphasis on experience.

Your coat is taken off you by a girl wearing a military style earpiece and then you're free to walk through to the bar area. Good service, and a nice - but small - area to chill out with the 'suits'. On a Thursday night Gaucho seems to be full of business people.

The food is good, although not stunning. The prices reflect the look and feel of the restaurant rather than the quality of the meals and the service was far too OTT. Stuck on a table that's right next to the kitchen there were waiters and waitresses walking past us all night - we may as well have eaten in a corridor - and a glance over at the chefs didn't suggest that they were inspired that evening.

The one good thing about the Gaucho is the venue, and this worked even better when it was used by the Sticky Fingers restaurant. I've visited Gaucho twice now and I've always come to the same conclusion: it's a destination restaurant, not a restaurant you want to go to. Take the parents, a date or your colleagues for a special occasion.

Expect prices around £25+ per person
