| - Overpriced, loud, OCD wait staff, a long time to get our food, too much reliance upon Hells Kitchen, Overpriced (worth stating again), etc. It took a very long time to get our main course (almost 45 minutes from when our appetizer was finished. The gal helping our waiter was OCD about crumbs from the bread, finally picking the last one up with her fingers. They insisted that our wellington be at mid-rare, even though we would have preferred medium, so it was not as good as it could have been (too rare in the center). They were also obsessed with filling our water glasses. Before we ever saw our menus we were asked 3 times about what we wanted to drink, even though we told them we wanted to choose our meal first, then the wine. The drink menu was on a non-functioning iPad that even the busboy could not operate. While we were waiting the exceeding long time for our main course, we were thrilled to here the wait staff (males) discussing different women (our backs were 4 ft away from where the servers gathered - a lovely touch for my wife to experience. Quite frankly, If I had to do it again I would not, even at 1/4 of the price. Last, Gordon is always lecturing all his Kitchen Nightmare clients not to use trolleys (carts) with displays, yet he uses a meat trolley to display all the cuts of beef they serve.
Having stated all that, the mac & cheese was wonderful and the recommended dessert (sticky toffee cake) was fantastic. The appetizer (crudo) was okay but only half as good (and twice as expensive) as what we get at our favorite sushi place.
