| - One word: over-hyped. We were excited to try this place after passing by it year after year, so we came in for dinner. We got there around 5 and there was a bit of a line, but we were seated within 30 minutes. We ordered the nachos, Hell's Kitchen burgers, and truffle fries.
Within ten minutes we were greeted by a special little guest--a baby cockroach came out to play right by our feet! We were pretty surprised that, what with Gordon Ramsay's habit of battering restaurant owners for their unwelcome pests, he had some in his own restaurant. At least it was only a baby and not that grotesque, but it was still pretty freaky to see at a place where you're about to eat. We told a passing waiter and were moved a couple tables down by the manager, although I'm not sure they ultimately did anything about the cockroach.
On to the food--it was all unimpressive. Everything seemed to be made of good quality ingredients, but lacked flavor overall. The burger seemed to have a good bun, and the meat appeared juicy, but again, no flavor. The nachos were fairly good. The truffle fries were a let-down.
It was just a very "meh" meal. There are many, many better places to get a burger on the Strip.
