"Started off the evening at the steak house with a couple of cocktails. Preferring the rhubarb blush over the Hennessey julep as that needed a bit more sweetness to be as good as the other. We then went for the steak tartare which had a...duck egg ontop which made all the difference and the scallops with mango puree and red pepper as a shared starter which were both fantastic. When I go back next time I'm still ordering both as I could never decide which one was better than the other. After the starters we both decided on going for the gaucho sampler which consisted off four different steaks. Rib eye, sirloin, fillet, and rump. The truffle in the side order of Mac and cheese was great the only complaint being I didn't order two of them. One wasn't enough for two people to share. The board was a great way of serving the steak but to be left with blood on the table wasn't great. Quickly attended to by Petya which smoothed everything over as if nothing had happened. We then finished the meal with a belter of a dulche de leche cheesecake and i would go back again just for that. The marshmallow made all the difference just a tiny bit more of it on the plate and it would have been perfect. Throughout the meal we experienced a top level of service from Petya. She was nice and attentive as well as being knowledgeable. Also she let us take our time in deciding what we wanted but at the same time she was experienced enough to let us enjoy the meal and even convincing us to go from a rare steak to medium rare seeing as some of the steaks on the sampler were better that way. Top job and thanks very much for making our evening. Petya is a great worker for the company to retain and is a worthwhile investment for the management team in Gaucho Richmond in the future. Will definitely be returning on a day where we can have a few more cocktails as there was too many to go for and then drive home and try and few different things from the superb wine list and other items off the menu such as the swordfish or the lambshank and hopefully the sampler doesn't win us over again. For anyone near Richmond it's a great place for an amazing array of steaks and a definite visit if you haven't already. Great food, great team, great atmosphere just a shame there isn't any parking near by."

"We have been to Corto before and the food has always been great and the service friendly. However, I would advise against going on a busy Saturday. My husband and I visited today and got there at 2pm. The rugby was on at Twickenham so the whole street was very busy. We were told that it would take five or so minutes to get a table and be served and we were fine with that, particularly as it was a busy day. After sitting down we had to get our own menus and then call the waiter after 20 mins of waiting. We ordered a water and a beer (in addition to food) but were given a beer and a coke. Food did not arrive and at 3pm I asked if we were still getting it. 18 mins later when our order was given to a table that arrived at least 40 mins after us, we got up to pay for the beer and leave. The waiter had no clue what had happened and someone inside eventually said sorry and gave us the beer on the house. This place always has good food but they can't cope with a busy weekend. This is not the first time service has been slow the last time it was also a sunny Saturday (but not a rugby day). I fully appreciate it will take time to be served and for food to be prepared when it is busy, especially on a rugby day. However, what I cannot understand is 1) why one couple that arrived after us received their food, ate it and paid for it before we'd received ours 2) when our food finally came it was given to a table that arrived 40 mins after us and 3) why the place could not manage customer expectations. If you're busy then tell customers that they should not expect to receive food within an hour, or get their order taken within 15 mins. Manage expectations! Its not difficult and then at least customers know perhaps its not a good time to eat at Corto."
