Gaucho’s Grill is one of those hidden gems that you one day discover and suddenly feel like you’ve uncovered a secret. A secret shared between only yourself and a few other people lucky enough to stumble upon it. 
 
Tucked away unflatteringly in a corner of the usually busy Constant Spring/Waterloo Road area is a small steak-house with a décor you’re sure to find pleasing. Upon entering the restaurant you’re greeted by a cool and cozy outdoor dining area. The tables are placed around pools of water which are at night are illuminated by round floating lights. (I personally would encourage you to go at night in order to fully enjoy the ambience). For those just wanting to knock back a few drinks for starters, there is stocked thatch-covered bar on one side of the restaurant. 
 
We were greeted personally by a very pleasant Christine Straw whom I later recognized to be a former Jamaican beauty queen/model. I suspect she either owns or manages the restaurant. After being seated and having our orders taken, we sat through a seemingly lengthy wait time, a little over 45 minutes. 
 
Our party had the Shrimp Scampi and the Grilled Steak sandwich. We were not entirely impressed with the food, it was decent, but all three members of our dining party that night found the food to be quite bland. Our impression quite possibly had to do with the fact that a name like “Gaucho’s Grill” coupled with their Mexican-styled menus makes it pretty easy for the mind and the palette to be filled with preconceived expectations of platters of spicy food. Except for the aforementioned blandness of the food, we had no other problems. 
 
Overall, our experience was a good one. The food and service was just average, but if you’re in Kingston and looking for a relatively quiet outdoor dining spot with a nice décor, it doesn’t get much better than this.

I have gone there on numerous occasion. Its a really great spot for a date, the waterfalls and the pool in the middle with the bridge over it provides that really tranquil out of town experience even though u still in Kingston. pricing awwwwww i would have to say depends on your budget but the service and the food is great!!Especially the shrimp (beer battered)..
