| - I'm not much of a Ramsay fan outside of him trashing Amy's Baking Company on the infamous episode of Kitchen Nightmare, but one co-worker I was with on my recent Vegas lives for Ramsay. She wanted to go to the Pub, BurgR, the Steakhouse, and any other taco stand or dumpling house he might open next week.
I think I can best sum up the experience with a what I liked vs what I didn't like list:
I liked that is was not a stuffy restaurant. The atmosphere and decor was fun and inviting.
I liked the non traditional table I was at with 2 large, cushy chairs on one side, and a couch on the other (you might not like this)
I liked the huge beer list.
I really liked my lamb chops. The food got high marks by everyone at the table for quality and prep.
I did not like the drink list on the ipad. It did lead to some great conversation about if we though we could get away with stealing the Ipad...but, with 4 of us at the table, and only 1 Ipad, it was a rush job to look thru the 100+ beers separate onto different web pages by category. In the interest of time, I just picked an old, well known favorite vs. something rare or reading up and trying something new.
...and finally, what killed the experience...the serving size. Upon looking at all the dinners as they came out, my initial though was, 'they know we did not order of the kiddie menu, right?' While my lamb chops were great, there was only 4 lil chops for a serious price. By contrast, Firefly, a well known local tapas restaurant, offers a $10 tapas plate with 2-3 pieces, and while maybe not as awesomely seasoned, it's still very good over there. My Irish buddy got the Sheppards pie, and while he admitted it might be better than what momma made him...the size of it was seriously laughable. I was not surprised when I heard he picked up more to eat.
As for that drink Ipad...Our best idea was to list it on Craigslist and sell it for cheap for immediate cash only, with an exchange in the bathroom, and quickly paying the tab in cash...and defiantly not returning to Caesars on this trip. I'm just saying, if you ever see it on craigslist, don't go buy an Ipad from a guy in the mens room of Ramsay's Pub & Grill, it might some other guy with a clever but flawed idea.
