Ramsay does it again. Walking into this restaurant in Caesar's, I was definitely impressed. The decor was a hip modern twist on a traditional British pub. The lighting was a little bit darker than I would've like but it definitely added to the ambiance. The keg wall was probably one of the coolest parts. Though a little loud, the charm of the restaurant was definitely appealing.
We made a reservation on-line but we were a little irritated that we couldn't call to get ahold of anyone if we needed to make changes to the reservation. It just kept gong through and automated recording. Also, when we approached the hostess, she actually didn't seem very enthusiastic towards us nor any other guests who approached.
It was a minor wait before we were seated. The table was cool and I really like the chairs. It seemed to take awhile before our server even came to greet us let alone give us water. I guess it was busy. Once the waiter greeted us he was really nice. Great smile and willing to answer any questions we had. He also offered suggestions for items on the menu. We did order some cocktails from the bar which got to us in a timely fashion and we also got a platter of bread and butter courtesy of Gordon...thanks! The pretzel sticks were amazing. I lathered them in butter and gobbled them up! The drinks were good and strong yet pricey but what do you expect for Vegas.
Most of the entrees were pricey as well. I ordered the lamb shanks and was definitely pleased. They were tender and well seasoned. Absolutely yummy! My boyfriend ordered the Shepard's pie. The mashed potatoes were to die for.
Overall, my experience was great. Ramsay definitely does know his way around a restaurant. Then only qualm I had was with the hostess'. If they were a little more charismatic and interested in the customers they were about to seat, I think I would've rated it a 5/5 instead of a 4/5. Still great though. :-) Will definitely go again!
