| - We were thrilled to WIN a dinner at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. We watch his shows and thought dinner would be amazing. The first two items we ordered were "86ed". We said that was too bad since we really wanted to have them and the waiter replied that it was "good" since they were busy that night. Good for him, bad for us, but it didn't occur to him to think that way. My husband ordered rack of lamb, and since the apps we wanted were not available he asked about the portion size and was told it was " three bones". When the dish came with two, he asked the waiter about it and the waiter said he would check with the kitchen, then came back and told us he was misinformed and the serving went by weight. However, he agreed that it looked like a double cut chop, not a rack of lamb for $38. The meat was chewy,had no sauce, & needed seasoning. My scallops, a dish Ramsay routinely dumps in the trash on his show, were nicely browned but served in a tasteless broth that made them a soggy mess. Although our waiter became more apologetic when the table next to us also complained about their lamb, and brought us a complimentary dessert, it was a really disappointing meal. Like the woman at the table next to us said, " This restaurant is a Kitchen Nightmare and needs fixing."
