| - We went to Gordon Ramsay Steak in our last Vegas trip, which seems like a landmark you just have to visit at least once. It was not hard to find if you enter from the Strip entrance of the Paris hotel especially when it has a red grand entrance. The tables seem to be running late when we arrived on time and still had to wait about 5-10 minutes.
For drinks, you order from an iPad menu, which was quite neat. First item our server introduced to us was the Hell's Kitchen tasting menu, which was a 4 course meal for $145/person featuring dishes from Hell's Kitchen. The odd was actually requiring everyone in your party to order it. Price was reasonable for high-end fine dining, but too bad the wife was not onboard, so I could not try it. I guess pick your party carefully next time?
We started the meal with British Ale Soup and Maine Lobster. The soup tasted ok, it reminds of a bad French onion soup. The lobster had some great combined flavor with a decent sauce and nuts at the bottom. The breads were actually very good, and there were about three different varieties.
For main course, we ended up getting the Beef Wellington for two, they can only cook it at Medium Rare for some unknown reasons, good thing both of us eat steaks at that rareness. Since they baked the steak and combining with the pastry, it really did taste like a roast beef sandwich in some ways. The potato puree really resembled mash potato on the side. It tasted great overall.
Service was excellent that night and we briefly saw Christina Wilson when we first sat down. I think I will return once I gathered the correct foodie and spendy party next time. The ordering just felt too restricted.
