   “Dont meet your heroes (or eat at their restaurants…) I am SHOCKED that Gordon Ramsay would put his name on the top of this menu. I cannot imagine he would be happy with anything about this restaurant. Applebees quality food, yet charging Michelin star prices. I couldn’t be more disappointed with this place. We ordered the “Wellington Experience” along with the “exceptional wine pairings”. First of all, the appetizers we received were not at all what were offered on the experience menu. To top that part off, the fried calamari we got was really bland and honestly not good. The Wellington was pretty good to be fair. The greens on the side were honestly terrible again. The mash potatoes were alright. The desserts seemed like a huge slap in the face. Could have easily gotten better sticky toffee pudding at a pub next door that would be way better and half the price. Now onto the wine….. £130 for 3 glasses of wine? And to top it off, we never even got our dessert wine. I’m honestly not sure what happened, but our server disappeared half way through our meal and we never saw her again. The bartender was nowhere to be seen either, hence us not getting the last of our wine pairings. I thought better of Gordon and his restaurants, I cannot imagine he would have been okay with any of this.

   The food was poor quality with the steak being cooked ok to medium but the meat was tough. The Caesar salad was very basic and the extra chicken was very dry. Staff were nice and friendly but would not return.

   Concept is good but looked like they were having issues .. food ok when it should be great (especially for the money), waiters very friendly but multiple different interactions asking the same thing, all in all = ok but I’m sure that’s not what GR is aiming at.

   For my first visit, I've tried the Seasonal Set Menu (3 courses for £25 with a mocktail or cocktail). The food was good but not exceptional. I don't think it is worth more than £25. I would not go there again unless there are special offers.

    We decided to stick with starters, so two cauliflower veloutés with truffle oil which were absolutely delicious (though we didn't think the nuts added anythging). For our second starters, my companion chose the tamarind chicken wings (excellent) and I had the prawn cocktail(very satisfying and nice sauce). I drank 2 glasses of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and we had two bottles of sparkling water. We still had room for desserts as our dishes had been so good so then we plumped for chocolate fondant and sticky toffee pudding. It came to £120 but the overall experience was also festive and cheerful. Service was attentive and friendly though if they'd paid more attention to my jacket, I would have tipped. I recommend this restaurant ad so too does my dining companion I imagine.
