| - I have watched so many shows of Gordon Ramsay. We decided to try it. A party of five got seated in a table of four. Three plates on one side versus two plates on the other. I don't think I have ever been seated in such a cramped position even in no name restaurants. It also is incredibly loud. You have to shout to be heard even a feet apart.
Then the waitress started telling me that the red artwork of neon's hanging from ceiling is Gordon Ramsay's hand movements during cooking. I would call that pretentious but I don't care. Looking around, I have seen the tables next to each other barely a feet apart. Definitely crowded in.
Once the waitress has left, we were served bread and butter. Can't say it was special. It was volcanic salt and butter. The salt was too strong and the breads did not have any special flavor that you cannot find anywhere else.
My wife ordered a wine but the wine ran out while the waiter was filling her glass. I think it barely covered the bottom of the glass. Did he come back put more ? No, that must be how you get treated in Gordon Ramsay steak house.
The salad and scotch egg were good. It was a little too much oil on the lettuce but the taste was good.
Next we were told,if we wanted to order Beef Wellington, it will be served medium rare; no exceptions. I could not help but touch my beef wellington and it was barely warm. I remembered Gordon Ramsay yelling chefs that beef wellington is not cooked. First time, so I decided to try it and give it a chance. It was very good but more on that later.
The steak my father in law has ordered as well done, has been butterflied. The waitress has asked if they can butterfly and he said, if you must. They did. I thought this was a no-no for a top steak restaurant. Baked potatoes we ordered, were nothing special.I have to rate them below average for the taste.
When food was finished, all the party of five wanted to get out of this cramped place and we did.
Beef wellington, medium rare, well I was sick the whole night and stayed up. If I were you, I would stay well clear of that place. It is a joke. I have eaten in places less expensive but better steaks. My wife told me this was not the best steak she had eaten. I agree even though it was one of more expensive steak houses we have been to.
One parting thing, there is no dress code, you can come and eat in flip flops but it made me feel like a fool to put on a nice suite. Did I mention, the waitress argued with my father in law about the dress code for five minutes. Hmm, not the best customer service either.
