Hey Guys, so got a chance to check out Gauchos yesterday. I believe they are now open on Mondays and have a promo going. We got there and told them that we were using the Groupclick coupon, and she said that it wouldn't be possible to use it as they were having a promo. I held my ground and she asked she chef who said it would be fine. When I sat down, I realized how much the promo is price was... $16.99!
At this price, I just felt bad using the coupon for the meal, which means that it would have come out probably close to half that of a meal at Earls, and I went back to the hostess and told them that I wouldn't use it. Its just not fair to them, they would have probably ended up loosing money. I told them that I intend on coming back and would just use it another day.
So me and my buddy sit down and are greeted by the waiter who tells us the Salad bar is open and feel free to help ourselves. The food at the Salad bar was fresh and delicious, but, we know what we were here for, and that was not the salad bar! I grabbed a little bit of everything and went back down to my seat at which point I was almost immediately greeted with a server with a large skewer of steak.
The Ambiance is nice, and a mass improvement over its old location which was hot and stuffy (which is pretty horrible when eating huge amounts of meat).
The first piece of steak was nothing short of incredible. Perfectly medium rare, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked - delicious by all accounts. This started a chain of skewers which appeared about every 5 minutes or so. Its important to pace yourself a bit as me and my friend finished eating within about 30 minutes. I found the beef skewers to be better than the rest, but the others were also just phenomenal. Drinks came quickly and were topped up often. If you like your meat well done this is probably not the spot for you, it was perfect for me, but for my dad (who does not like to see any red what so ever) he would probably not enjoy it very much. A nice thing is that they shave a few pieces off season it again, and put it back to be broiled. Which means you always get a corner piece!
Service was good, but we were left at the end waiting for the bill for a while. One thing to note is that the people working are truly Brazilian and have pretty thick accents which can make it really difficult to hear what they say or are offering. Everything was good so, it didn't really bother me at all.
On a Monday, at $16.99, I can't think of any better value in Calgary, period. If you got in on the Groupclick offer, same thing goes, Amazing value. Their standard offer at $35 offers a few more items in circulation.
Food: 10/10
Ambiance: 9/10
Service: 9/10
Value: 10/10
As a disclaimer, I have not checked out Bolaros before.

If you read it all, Neil said the hostess spoke to the chef, and said it was ok. Then when Neil realized it only cost 16.99 for the promo, he felt like a Douche Canoe for using it, thus he told the hostess he will come back another time with the coupon.Originally posted by Jeremiah

So if you "stand your ground" as Neil did, you can probably use it on their promotional days.

Whoops, i must have skipped over that part.
Still, I would hate to be hassled about that kind of stuff.
Anyone have a coupon they aren't going to use?

Exactly, You "Could" but really, don't be greedy, your already getting 60% off with the groupclick just use it on another day. $16.99 is a great deal for what your getting on a Monday.Originally posted by [Yu]

PS. Douche Canoe was a perfect way of describing how I felt lol

I just got back from dinner. Food was pretty good, some of the cuts were a bit salty for our taste, the lamb, for example, but generally we liked it, especially the ribs. Staff seemed a little inexperienced, and sure enough the Portuguese accents were a little thick, but were very pleasant and courteous, so no complaints from us.
