| - I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and I was super stoked to have dinner here. I'm a fan of Gordon Ramsey and I wanted to see if his food was really as good as it looked. Let me tell you right now, it is!!! I opted for the Hell's Kitchen Limited Edition Tasting Menu with the wine pairing, because I wanted to try as much as I possibly could. I pretty much starved myself the entire day so I could accomplish this goal and it was definitely worth it.
This was the menu:
Amuse Bouche- Scotch Egg paired with Gaston Chiquet, Chamagne
First Course- Baby Beet Salad paired with Molitor, Riesling
Second Course- Scallop Risotto paired with Lioco, Chardonnay (I added on truffle shavings)
Third Course- Roasted Beef Wellington paired with Emilio Moro, Ribera del Duero
Dessert Course- Sticky Toffee Pudding paired with Sierra Blanca, Bone Chiller, Brown Ale
I normally don't like beets, but the other ingredients within the salad definitely made me take back my opinion of beets. The food and wine pairings was sheer perfection. I took my time while I ate, because I wanted to savor every bite.
The service was excellent and I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. As other Yelp reviewers have stated, on the ceiling of the restaurant is a replica of Ramsey's hand motions when he makes his signature dish, the beef wellington. It's a bit corny, but it's his restaurant and he can do whatever he wants. Plus the beef wellington is phenomenal so rock on Gordon Ramsy, rock on!
