| - I believe this is my fourth, maybe fifth Gordan Ramsay restaurant I've tried and it was wonderful!
We had a reservation (a must around here) and were seated within a few moments at a wonderful table for two near the windows. The giant windows facing the strip give a natural light to the place that makes everything feel fresh and cheery. Our waiter David was kind, patient and did a great job keeping the food coming at just the right moments.
After some mixed reviews on the wellington, we decided to go another route and we were NOT disappointed. The food could have been served on a paper plate and it would have still been incredible.
We planned to keep room for dessert, but the Red Quinoa Salad, Roasted Cauliflower and Chicken were all so filling - and we shared each dish!
The Red Quinoa Salad was light, refreshing, and so filling. My mom thought it was a dessert at first sight.
I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but this dish may have just changed my mind! The sauce, potatoes and mushrooms, oh my! They were tasty accompaniments to the perfectly broiled chicken. The chicken was not dry in the least, it was juicy and flavorful!
The Roasted Cauliflower with lime zest was good, but not my favorite. It was a little to raw for my taste, but it was still good.
We intended to come back for the Sticky Toffee Pudding, but just didn't make it on this trip - one more reason to come back!!
We accompanied our meal with a glass of Clean Slate Riesling and Achaval Malbec, both good and decent pours.
Finally, let me make a few things clear, and maybe this will help you decipher other reviews as well.
1. You need a reservation! But even still you may wait a few moments after arriving, reservations and dining are not an exact science.
2. Everyone has a bad day, give the hostess and waitstaff a break. Could you keep a smile and joyful attitude all day while serving high expectation, (maybe) entitled & in a rush diners?
