Restaurant Gordon Ramsay London - Buy Reservations

I booked this for my birthday. As I am getting older I realised I've never tried a 3-star restaurant. There weren't too many open at this point so I booked RGR a few months in advance. The experience in my mind is everything I love in good food. Nothing at all was pretentious or showy. The food was sublime. My partner is a fussy eater but the restaurant accommodated her beautifully. The one thing I talk about is the duck salad. I'll be honest, I looked at it and was disappointed. It looked dull. Really dull. It barely had any duck and was full of tomatoes. I am not keen on tomatoes, and my darling fussy partner absolutely hates tomatoes and all we see are tomatoes. She doesnt touch them until i coerced her. Normally I don't encourage eating tomatoes. But these are the best frgging tomatoes ever. I have never ever had such amazing fruit in my life. When the plates were being taken away, I asked the waiter how they do it, and its fascinating to learn how they actually go about making such a simple fruit taste so damn good. -This dish is an homage to tomatoes in my opinion. I am not going to talk other dishes in such detail. -I was wondering what the fuss is about with regards to once of the signature dishes. -The deserts were insanely good too. Expensive but definitely worth it if you're a foodie.

I have a complaint. after I pulled up my karki trouser, I walked in this establishment. I was placed on the dirtiest table with the dirtiest cutlery. I asked to speak to the manager and he was the rudest man I have ever dealt with. I'll be back.

Yesterday I visited the restaurant, and I took no offense to the service. We were sat down immediately, our coats were taken care of, menus were brought, and drinks were served right away. The staff perused checking on us and made sure we were taken care of. It took some time to contemplate what I wanted to order because everything on the menu seemed so good. When the food was brought out, we were mesmerised. It looked extremely delicious and tasted even better. I must admit, it was pricy, but the money is worth surrendering for the service and the great food.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The staff provided by the service was excellent. Big thank you to Jean Klaus who made it a memorable evening.

The food was simply divine and the chestnut linguine with black truffle is so worth paying extra for.

Unfortunately, the restaurant does not provide Halal meat but they made sure no alcohol were in our dishes.

Visited 3rd March for lunch. Cannot praise the service and food highly enough. Had the Prestige menu and every dish was amazing, you could see the time and effort gone into creating each dish and was well worth the money. Added in extra dishes of chestnut pasta with truffle and also had the tarte tatin which was beautiful. Front of house staff were amazing, I was worried they may be a little stuffy as my first meal in a 3 star restaurant however they were the most friendliest and welcoming of staff and actually had more conversation with them than in any other restaurant I have been in. I would not hesitate to recommend a visit and will certainly be looking forward to coming back. Thank You!

I booked what a believed (from the website description) to be an exclusive "Inspiration Table" experience to celebrate 2 milestone Birthdays within our group. We arrived just after 1830 expecting a ‘chefs’ table and were aghast to be directed just a few steps to the Inspiration table which is actually located in the reception / lobby area of the restaurant! We were quite astounded by this revelation and were told by staff that the kitchen is too small for a chefs table. This was not as we imagined or indeed in line with the high minimum spend request and the wonderful website description of the experience!

I should say that despite the huge mis sell of this experience - there were some positives hence allowing 2 stars. The food was very good and the experience of meeting the chefs was interesting.

What you should be aware of if you do decide to ‘treat’ yourself:

1) Table location - this was a real shock! It’s in the reception of the restaurant, looking at the waiting area and front door. You will certainly not feel exclusive or special sat at this table. More like you are on display to all other guests both arriving and leaving.

- The outer chair of the table is very close to the small butlers bar meaning staff were brushing past my husbands seat continually throughout the evening, preparing drinks for other guests immediately behind him.

- the table is next and looking at the toilet doors

- The experience is sold with a minimum table spend. Wrongly our assumption was that some cost would be apportioned to food and some would therefore contribute to our chosen beverages for the evening. This was not the case and having eaten at many of the most impressive and often Michelin star restaurants around London we have never spent even close to the cost per head that we were charged on the food. There are NO drinks allowed for in the minimum spend.

- the meal prepared was very good and an eclectic range of different dishes were most enjoyable but we cannot even begin to get close to how the cost per head was arrived at. Making the point I do not want the Chefs to receive unwarranted negative feedback, this is about misrepresentation and commercial overpricing.

- Wine - 2 of our party enjoyed some paired wines which were incredibly expensive for the relative standard, however, we were aghast to see a member of the team pouring the remnants of 1 bottle into another part completed bottle - this would never be the way to treat fine alleged wines surely?

Having spoken at length with Matt Abe, it is clear the restaurant is well run in its entirety by him and his team, obviously they leverage the Ramsay name very well. This said we were really disappointed at the value for money this experience represented. With an astronomical bill for 4 people it was an astonishing amount of money that has left us feeling mis sold, aggrieved and, frankly, taken advantage of over a joint Birthday experience that should have resulted in a sweet not bitter aftertaste.

What a shame - we are extremely disappointed and certainly would never recommend that any guest pays the horrendous extra cost for the Inspiration Table! The food and staff cannot be criticised but quite frankly the pricing is obscene.

To rub salt in the wound - the ‘brush off’ response after receiving email feedback from one of our party is simply insulting! Hugely disappointing.

Clearly the food was not average but I was hugely disappointed with the attention to detail and tailoring of the wine. We had an allergy on the table but had informed the restaurant 3 months in advance and confirm by phone in the week leading up to our special booking.

Two of the courses that we were served arrived and we were told ‘sorry no sauce!‘ Apparently you can’t make a fresh gravy in a 3 star!

We were told we could not be quoted the exact price of the flight of wines as they arrived paired but both dishes were served with the same wine! Completely against the balance of the dish.

So much for a special anniversary experience!

Front of house staff were amazing.

This was a special treat for us and we warned them that I was allergic to vinegar weeks ago and confirmed it within 5 days. The staff were lovely but not quite as attentive as some restaurants of this standard but charming and engaging.

We did the most expensive ‘surprise’ menu and flight of wines. The food was generally great but instead of making me a new sauce (or a simple gravy) they just gave me my meal without sauce. They gave my wife the full experience and thus paired the wines with her meal with the sauce but not mine. My choices were lack lustre and the wines didn’t match. I wouldn’t mind if this was a local pub but not at the pinnacle of culinary expertise.

It was disappointing and for the money there are far better establishments that will cater for your needs.
