We were so extremely skeptical after last years disappointment at Gordon Ramsey's burger bar but everyone kept insisting that his restaurants are great. So.. For our last night in Vegas we decided to try here.
After a 15 minute wait we were seated and ordered from our lovely server Jennifer. We ordered the mini burgers (6/10) and lollipop chicken for starters. They both came out super quick (within a few minutes) and while the burgers were ok the bone on my chicken was a bit cold which was strange.. I should have taken that as a hint as I bit into my chicken and realised it had a bloody raw taste and when i spat it out.. I looked down to discover that it was indeed raw.. My poor partner had eaten 3 pieces and thought they tasted weird but did not want to spit them out and after looking over at my raw chicken leg, he really wished he had..
Another server brought our mains over in record time also and we showed him the raw chicken for which he was immediately apologetic and said he would speak to the chef and manager.
Our mains we had the New York Strip Steak (7/10) and the Lamb stew shepherds pie. (7/10) Both were good but it was quite difficult to truly enjoy our meals after being so worried eating raw chicken.. I could not wash that taste out of mouth no matter how many gulps of red wine I had!
The server returned to inform us that the chicken would be removed from our bill (I think this is the least they could do because most likely.. We will both be sick on our 14 hour flight back to australia) and apologised once again.
Dessert was the sticky toffee pudding (8/10) and the salted caramel sundae (8/10). Both were delicious.
Unfortunately it was pretty difficult to recover from serving us raw chicken lollipops. The both of us including 2 pints of cider and a 250ml Pinot noir was $140 plus tips.
So will we be coming back? No.. That's a 2/2 fail rate for Gordon Ramsay's restaurant... Such a shame.
