| - Let me start by saying that I LOVE Gordon Ramsay and was so excited to eat at his restaurant on my trip to Vegas this weekend! The hostesses were so pleasant and very helpful. We got stuck in really bad traffic and were running late, but they made sure that we still got to dine at the restaurant and were really nice to us.
We finally got seated and introduced to our waiter...not sure if he was having a bad day or if this is just how he always is, but we all felt like he was annoyed at us. Whenever we would ask a question he'd talk to us in the most condescending tone and it was extremely uncomfortable. All other servers that helped us (the server who filled our water glasses, the ones that brought us our food, etc.) were so nice and attentive to our questions. They never made us feel incompetent, but unfortunately our waiter did. It wasn't until the end that he was all smiles with us and trying to joke around, which just doesn't look good for a waiter to do. It really felt like he was trying so hard to be nice so that we'd leave a good tip. I am so disappointed. Part of the dining experience at any restaurant is the service. I expected EXCELLENT service being that I was dining at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and that is not what I received.
The food was really good. We ordered from the prix fixe menu which came with Scallops, Beef Wellington, and Sticky Toffee Pudding. The scallops were to die for!! The Beef Wellington was flavored perfectly, but we were expecting the shell to be more crispy and flaky. It was too doughy for our liking. The sticky toffee pudding perfect. So delicious and satisfying! We also ordered the mac & cheese as a side. It was good, but nothing to write home about.
Overall, I wish the waiter had been nicer to us. It really put a dent in our experience. I feel that we didn't get to enjoy it as much as we would have if we'd had a different waiter.
