Gordon Ramsay at the LondonPerfect place for special occasionWe made reservations a few weeks ago for pre-theatre as well as celebrating a 50th Birthday. We arrived 15 minutes late due to horrible traffic but the staff was incredibly accomodating given our time issues. We did the 3-course menu which was perfect. The fois gras, which we miss being from California, was stunning especially with black truffle. Yes, it was a bit pricy and a jacket was required, but it made the evening all the more special. The service, too, was incredible and well orchestrated. In the end, we did not mind paying for such a well designed dinner and service. If, however, you would like a more casual atmosphere, the bar area was larger than the dining room and had a great energy.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMA must try. Scallop appetizerA must try. Scallop appetizer was delicious as was the white asparagus with lobster appetizer special. Everything was perfect. Left with a tummy full of some of the best flavors ever. Make sure to save room for the bonbons at the end! Will definitely go back next time we are in NYC.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMNot quite there....All in all, our dining experience was ok...BUT...being as high profiled as GR is I'm a bit upset that I felt like being mesured up and down like "you must have saved up a long time to afford dining here". Little did they know that both my husband and I both travel a lot, and actually know a great deal about food and wine. If they had asked a simple question like "what bringes you here", they could have saved us and themselves that embaressment. When we sent back one of the dishes we got noticed, and the service became what it should have started out to be. But again....The overall experience was good, and I want to point out the duck: absolutely excellent!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AM"Fancy Date Night"My fiance and I decided to splurge and go to the London for a "fancy date night". We watch Gordon Ramsey's television shows and cook with his cook book at home so were definitely fans of his before, but actually having such a wonderful experience at one of his restuarants has made us appreciate his culinary expertise even more. The service was impeccable and the food was brilliant. We are looking forward to going back to visit the cokctail lounge next and will definitely come back to the London restaurant for our next special occassion. All around it was a wonderful experience!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazingThe food was fantastic. Romantic. Expensive but unic!5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the placeWe my girl friend and I love our food and this place stood up to it, we has a taster type dinner and it was so nice, the service was exalent and the chocs where to die for. Price you get what you pay for and here it was worth it.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMBlown AwayWe were immediately seated side by side at a lovely table which allowed us to view the entire room. Decor is very elegant and from the beginning, the several professionally trained staff were absolutely wonderful. Champagne appeared almost magically from a well-chilled cart and was most welcome.
We were presented with menus - I had already read online and knew that the choices were 3 or 5 course pri-fixe menus. We chose veal and lamb tenderloin. Wonderful amuse-bouches appeared, sommelier was very good. I had the best ricotta mousse EVER. The man who served the cheese course to my husband was very knowledgeable. As fine as Europe to sum up!
This restaurant is definitely worth the money!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ExperienceVery special place to dine. Spacious room between tables made it feel very private. Taste buds are still doing flips over the meal. Had the Prestige Menu with the wine pairing. Partner had the duck and said it was the best she has ever had. I had the lamb and it was cooked to perfection. Pre Dinner drinks (at table) and surprise desert selection of chocolates and other pastries, which were superb, were included in the meal price. Cannot fault this restaurant.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding place!!Highly recommended
A great experience!
We enjoyed every moment, and the food was magnificent.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAs great as it getsI have been here many times and will go still many more -- and with many more -- to experience the consistently delicious and artistically prepared cuisine of Chef Markus Glocker and the impeccable service and delightful company of this staff. I locked in on a couple of stunning dishes here but the staff encouraged me to expand my horizons with their own passion for the food and I discovered that every dish was superb... so now the entire menu is my favorite. When asked what dishes I recommend, I have to say, "all."5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMLived up to the Ramsey reputationThe food was brilliant without being pretentious. The attendance to detail was perfect. Never felt rushed, and never was without a chef's taster in between courses. I would highly recommend it and will definitely be back...5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMA wonderful evening dinnerThe restaurant staff were very welcoming from the start.
A choice of A la carte (3 course) or a Prestige (5 Course set menu) sampling menu.
We choose the A la carte and were not disappointed. The food (scallops to start, lamb and veal for mains and soufflé for dessert) was amazingly cooked.
The textures and tastes were faultless.
If you are looking for somewhere special to go and don't mind splashing out a little, then this place is the right choice.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AM4 critical diners were all pleasedOur entire group thought the meal was outstanding. The food was inventive and delicious. We found the ambiance of the room perfect. It is simple but elegant. The room was refreshingly quiet making conversation very easy. Service was quite good. Overall a fine dining experience but not inexpensive.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMNot as outstanding as expectedGreat room , except that we were seated in front of the door. Pleasant atmosphere. Got the tasting menu and although the food was good, overall, it was below my expectations. The one memorable course was the English pea tortellini. The take home chocolate truffles were amazing.
Sommelier was very helpful.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat a wonderful experienceWhat a wonderful experience ,everything was so elegant and delicious.

Service impeccable and as I have come to expect from the Gordon Ramsey experience.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMAlthough this restaurant andAlthough this restaurant and Gordon Ramsay have been knocked, I have to say the service and food were deserving of the Michelin stars. A fantastic night which was capped off with a wonderful ending.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had an amazing time. ItWe had an amazing time. It was a girls night out a total of four.Great food, wonderful service, we will visit again. It was pricy but worth every penny!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMDon't be disturbed when youDon't be disturbed when you first walk in and see a very loud, casual place with a ton of people wearing t-shirts and yelling across the room at each other. You are in the lounge, not the restaurant! Restaurant is behind the lounge and is small and elegant, with a wonderful tasting (prestige) menu.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThe best dining experienceThe best dining experience I've ever had. Second to none3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMImpeccableImpeccable would be a good way to describe the food and service. The restaurant is beautiful inside. The staff are very informed and made the night explaining the food and drink.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMIt Seems a cool restaurant,It Seems a cool restaurant, but it hasn't the value of its price3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent theater districtExcellent theater district location, excellent service and excellent food although my monkfish entree did not have much taste. My friend's duck entree was superb! My fois gras was incredible also as well as our dessert, tarte tin (sp?). The wait staff was impeccable and allowed us to come back after the theater to have the rest of our wine and dessert, a great concept to finish out a lovely evening! I will highly recommend!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was perfection.The food was perfection. It's all that I would have expected from this
Restaurant and more.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMRamsay knows howExpect to spend a tidy sum, go for the Prestige Menu, the experience is worth it. Ideal for a special occasion, quite well placed tables for two, with chairs that swing around (nice touch). Larger parties are accomodated too. Excellent wine list, near impeccable service. Mellow lighting and whisper quite intimate atmosphere. Last but not least the feast (pun intended). If you have food allergies or restrictions don't go there. Very small portions served at appropriate intervals, bearing melding flavors and textures, composed of ingredients quite rare, the spectrum of which diffuses in your mouth. There is also a vegetarian variation. As you may have noticed, we immensly enjoyed the ambiance, the food and the service.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AM41st BirthdayFood and Service were excellent. Thanks to my wife and the staff for making my 41st birthday the best birthday I ever had.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMGive Markus Glocker the Stars !With all the respect to Gordon Ramsey , that is now just a consultant to this extraordinary restaurant, Chef Markus Glocker deserves the Michelin stars for his job.
A superb dinner, excellent service.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place is to die for.This place is to die for. If I could eat here daily I would. Albeit this is an expensive restaurant, (as it should be given it has two Michelin stars!!!)it was well worth the money. I have been to several Michelin rated restaurants, and this is still my favorite to date. (and because of this this is the only one i've visited repeatedly)
Helpful tip for those who would like to try here without walking out with a $400+ tab.... They do a lunch service at Maize (the front area/more casual part of the restaurant) for $35 per person (so with tax tip, you can expect to pay $100). And given it is less busy at lunch, the service is flawless!!3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is one of the best restaurantsThis is one of the best restaurants in the U.S. The service is
incomparable. Highly recommended.2/8/2013 12:00:00 AMRequited LoveMost worthy -- between the food and the service, it nears the top of my short list. The food is consistently great and the service is filled with top notch staff who are passionate about food and assuring the best dining experience.1/3/2013 12:00:00 AMan almost perfect eveningwe were going to a Broadway show (which we told the waitstaff), so other than the fact that they kept us until 7:40 which required us to sprint to make the opening, this was a perfect evening. the food, the wine, the setting and the service (other than their ability to get us out with a little time) were spectacular. VERY expensive, but worth it.12/14/2012 12:00:00 AM
