Celebrated our anniversary at Gordon Ramsey Steak. Start with the positives - the restaurant was beautiful! We sat upstairs in a round, fairly private booth. The meat presentation was very cool and thorough. Food was delicious. Mac n Cheese and baked potatoes were both excellent. My filet was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband's ribeye was a little overdone - ordered medium rare, came out a little more than Medium. Sticky toffee pudding was yummy - extremely moist and the presentation was adorable.
Now for the main negative. Our waiter was terrible!! Our server, Tony, was clearly upset that we didn't order any cocktails and, therefore, reduced the overall tip possibility for the table. Once we indicated we were not drinking, his level of interest in serving us all but vanished. Took him 10 or more minutes to come back to take our order. Discouraged us and other tables from ordering the beef Wellington (I assume due to time and desire to turn the table). Didn't come to the table when the food was dropped to make sure we had everything. Checked on us one time while dining. Did get a little pep in his step when we ordered two desserts, but it was too little too late.
Thank goodness for our great server assistant, I think his name may have been John. He was great!!! Incredibly personable. Spent at least twice as much time checking on us and chatting with us than our waiter did. If I could have requested that my full tip had gone to the assistant, I would certainly have done so.
