"You are now leaving Paris and entering London..." as quoted by the hostess. That attention to detail and playfulness from the hostess carried on from the staff through the remainder of the evening. At one point, I was even personally escorted all the way to the restroom when I asked where the restroom was. Before we selected our meal, our waiter not only explained the specials of the day... but also brought over a "Ferris Wheel" of meats (which is a tray of different steak cuts for viewing / educational purposes). The overall service here is impeccable and I wouldn't expect anything less from a Gordon Ramsey establishment.
The restaurant ambience and atmosphere here are exactly what I look for. It's sexy, yet playful. It maintains a sense of intimacy, yet is still high-energy. The decor is modern glamorous and trendy. It's not a bad looking crowd either.
To start, the bread basket at GR is one of the best I've experienced. Truffle and mushroom rolls, bacon and fig rolls, etc. My friend got the Kabuto pork chops which were perfectly done. I had a bite of his and it quickly because one of my favorites.
As for my meal, I had the baked potato and bone-in rib-eye. Both were good but very rich and fatty. After a while I got tired of the richness and fattiness of both. Surprisingly I didn't finish both items which is a rarity in my book. I'm certain my eating experience would be much different if I ordered a filet or a steak that is leaner. Anyhow, consider this review a 4.5. I'll be back again in the future to try to something else on the menu.
