| - I really wanted to like Gordon Ramsey Steak. I went in with high expectations, but left slightly disappointed. I sat at the bar and ate, as I was traveling for work. The bartenders were all quite nice, and pleasant. My order was simple. A glass of Shiraz, the house salad, and the Beef Wellington.
The Shiraz was fine. A good pour by the bartender. Nothing amazing, but it was good.
The bread was good. It was a good start to the meal. There was a mushroom bread, and olive bread, and one that I couldn't understand. I actually asked the server to repeat what type of bread it was, but I still didn't get it.
The Salad was underwhelming. It had way too much dressing on it, and the the flavors were mediocre. The lettuce was a bit soggy.
What I was expecting to be the star of the meal, The Beef Wellington, was just OK. The beef was good, but the breading on it didn't do anything special for me. I felt as though the potatoes and the veggies could have been a little bit more plentiful on the plate. It was good. Just not Amazing.
All in all, I would give the restaurant a 3.5 star rating. However, one of my rules is that if nobody says "goodbye" when i leave, I take off .5 stars. It is not a very difficult task, and should be a focus of all good restaurants. In fact, when i left, there were 4 (yes FOUR) Hostesses standing out front. Not one of them said "thank you" or "goodbye" to me. It may be worth a try if you exhausted the other steak places in Vegas. I may go back next time and try a regular steak instead. However, for now, I'll say that Gordon Ramesy continues to disappoint me (Pub, Burger place, and now Steak). Maybe i just need to lower my expectations....
