| - This was our first dining experience at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and we were not disappointed. Excellent food and outstanding service made the meal well worth it.
When we arrived, we were seated immediately at the first two top table at the top of the far stairwell. If we could change one thing, it would be to request a booth. The table was small and we often found ourselves clearing plates and space with every course. The table was also very close to the exit of the elevator, the top of the stairs, and the exit from the kitchen. This led to very heavy traffic near our table.
Other than the table, the meal was perfect. Service from Dennis and John did not miss a beat all night. Many of the items we ate and drank were recommendations from Dennis and he did not steer us wrong. We started with The Drifter, a glass of moscato, bread, and the shellfish platter. Everything on the platter was delicious. The enormous prawns stood out the most.
For entrees I had the rib cap and my wife had the fish and chips with sauteed spinach, potato puree, and mac and cheese as our sides. If they were in a lineup, I will always choose the wagyu cow over his angus friends. I'll sacrifice a larger cut of meat for a smaller, tastier cut of wagyu. My rib cap was delicious with no sauce required. I had to cut my steak into smaller bites so I could savor each piece and to keep me from wolfing it down like I normally do.
For dessert we had the chocolate peanut butter bar and the sticky toffee pudding. The sticky toffee pudding is all that it is hyped to be.
On deck for next visit will be the beef wellington, bone marrow, seared foie gras, and a repeat of the sticky toffee.
