| - We had a very nice time at Gordon Ramsay's steakhouse while we were spending a few days in Vegas.
We started by having a few drinks at the bar while waiting for our reservation, drinks were good and satisfying to start the night. After waiting roughly 20 minutes we were seated and treated well, similar to all higher end dining, so nothing out if the ordinary. We were giving a selection of breads as an early snack while we overlooked the menu. We started off with the steak tartare, my personal favorite from most top tier steakhouses and I wasn't let down by the one served here. It was presented on a played covered in a small glass top that was smoked to add a bit of flavor to the meat. Overall very good. For our main courses I ordered the bone in ribeye rare, which came out perfectly to my liking, and my girlfriend order the famous Wellington, which I honestly thought was pretty average. We paired it with the Mac n cheese and asparagus, which both came out nicely.
I think our bill came out to roughly $400 for two, which is a bit pricey, but it also includes drinks.
On a side note, we had someone next to is that felt that he was on an episode of Hells Kitchen and he was Gordon himself. Yelling at the waiting, telling them the food was crap, trying to explain how to properly cook a steak in the amount of time he expected, etc. and eventually asking for a free bill. It provided some entertainment, and I'd be willing to bet it's a regular occurrence there with the whole Gordon Ramsay arrogant image.
Good steak, but there are better. I personally would take Mastro's over it any day of the week.
