It was my partner's birthday, and we wanted to celebrate. I had mentioned this when making the reservation, but unfortunately, nothing special was done to acknowledge it. I had high expectations for Gordon Ramsay's restaurant, but I was a bit disappointed. The starter was basic, despite the waiter claiming it was amazing. On a positive note, the meat was excellent for both of us. However, we were disappointed with the sides. We usually love creamy spinach, but this time it wasn’t chopped, making it difficult and chewy to eat. The mac & cheese was also just basic—nothing exceptional.
The service was okay, but not outstanding. The waiter tried to be friendly and made jokes, but it came off as a bit awkward. One of the waiters serving us even swallowed his mucus, which was quite unpleasant. Additionally, although we placed our aperitif glasses to be cleared, none of the waiters took them, even though they were clearing our plates and everything else. It was a shame also a lot of the nice dish showing from the Instagram were no longer on the menu.
On the positive side, the portions were generous, and we ate well in that regard. However, overall, we were a bit disappointed with the experience and the lack of attention to detail, especially for the birthday. We'd love to try next time the beef wellington, though.
