| - So it took a little bit to find this place, because when I went, there weren't any real good signs to find it. That's okay though, it wasn't that bad of a find.
So let's break down why I'm giving it only three stars instead of more....
My friend and I had two burgers between us, since it was our first time we asked for them to be cut in half so we could split both and try both! Great, they did that for us. We got the Hell's Kitchen Burger and Britannia.
Hell's Kitchen Burger should have had jalapeno's but only one side did, mine, my friend didn't get to taste any jalapeno's at all so that was a bust. The meat of the burger was cooked perfectly, except the taste of it was very bland. I know what a good seasoned burger tastes like and this wasn't one. I was expecting a lot more from it and it fell a lot shorter than expectations. I can guarantee you if it was Gordon Ramsay that made the burger, it'd be exquisite but this was nothing but a shame on his name.
Onto the Britannia, I expected more from this burger as well. It felt like the layers on the burger were just separate layers, nothing came together and I suspect the meat was from the same batch that made the Hell's Kitchen Burger, because it was bland as well. I asked for medium well and got well medium rare. Serious disappointment and I felt sick from just looking at the burger.
The only saving grace was the Sweet Potato Fries that we got. Those were definitely one of the most delicious sweet potato fries. There's nothing really too special about them other than the taste....
We got two drinks, one for each of us. I got the Innis and Gunn beer, which was definitely one of the best beers I've had. It's a golden red beer which is rich, creamy, and smooth. I enjoyed it and picked it because it was something I hadn't tried yet and was told it was one of Gordon Ramsy's favorites, gave it a go and fell in love with it! The other drink that my friend got was the Green Tea Gin I believe, which tasted just like green tea and was surprisingly good.
The drink menu was also on an iPad! It was pretty fun to sit there and play with it a little while looking through the menu.
The overall service was great though, but I was told if someone was named in a bad review they would get fired. Not sure how true that is, but maybe something to keep in mind? It wasn't too fast or too slow, kind of how I expected since there were quite a bit of people there. The server was very helpful and full of fun information about some of the drinks on the menu and the menu itself.
I'll come back again to give this place another go because I'm hoping that my first experience was just a bad day or a fluke and wasn't represented of the place or Gordon Ramsy's name, but we shall see. I'll definitely keep you up to date on my next experience!
