   The food was incredible and worth every penny. It for certain lived up and exceeded our expectations. Service was slightly slower than anticipated but was still good and very friendly.

   Decent food. Service was abysmally slow. Great views from waterfront dining room. They make you check in downstairs and wait to be sent up to your table. Creating a false sense of demand- the restaurant was virtually empty. Risotto was great. Steak tartare excellent. Meatballs taste like they’re from Costco. Due to the terrible service time, the food would have to be phenomenal for a return trip. We won’t be back.

   We were Celebrating our Son Birthday and New Year’s Day combined event. Larry was very gracious with explaining the Menu and the Appetizer Favorites. The Lobster Risotto was moist and delicious. The Backyard Burger and the Roasted Chicken were Perfect, paired with a Coke Zero and a Glass of White Wine. To top it off, Larry was very kind to keep the event low-key and place a Bday candle and a Birthday Chocolate sign on the Sticky Pudding which was out of this world, and my Son finished without sharing!!!😊 I loved the Cappuccino because it was so light and fluffy, and perfect size. Will definitely visit again for upcoming special events. Great location and Fantastic decor.

   We were disappointed to find our table placed in a side room with our table towards the back, near a noisy corner, despite specifically requesting a window table. Instead of enjoying the ambiance, we were stuck in an area with constant staff movement and noise as they accessed cutlery to set tables. After a request we were moved one table away from the noisy corner. To add to the frustration, our drinks order was slow, and one was incorrect. Surprisingly, the incorrect drink wasn’t even offered to be corrected. We came with high expectations of experiencing Hell’s Kitchen, but being relegated to a separate room completely removed us from the restaurant’s energy and atmosphere. The food was good, but the overall experiences were disappointing!

   Everything was Magnificent. There was a bartender who we spoke with at lunch and again when we had dinner. I asked for a drink he was not familiar with (brandy alexander) and he did not hesitate to make it happen. He was just amazing and deserves to be singled out.

   This was an item in my bucket list! Such a great experience and the food was delicious! The wait time was not very long and we got seated before our reservation time. Would definitely come back again.

   The food and service were phenomenal! Our dining experience not as much. We were seated in a freezing cold “back room” with no view of the kitchen or the more aesthetically pleasing features of the restaurant we wanted to experience. I wanted to celebrate our birthdays Dining at Hell’s Kitchen instead we were seated In a separate “back room” behind closed doors and paid the same menu price as those seated in the actual restaurant. What would Gordon say?

   Service was excellent. Atmosphere was fantastic. Food wasn’t worth the price. Surf and turf was good, but not $115 good. Same with the chicken dish. Not worth $55. There is a 20% service charge which isn’t any of the tip. Won’t be going again.

    Loved it! My husband had the much heralded Beef Wellington and I had the branzino. We shared the lobster risotto and the Brussel sprouts. I thought the branzino would fall far short of his Wellington because that is all people kept talking about but I was wrong! My branzino was fabulous especially when paired with the flavorful Brussel Sprouts. It was worth the money and the service was terrific. I would have given the waiter a better tip but could not get past the service charge of 20%. It’s exorbitant and I think asking people to pay a 40% up charge on an already expensive meal is ridiculous. They should stop that. The restaurants should be sharing a portion of that service charge with the waiters in my opinion. But if they don’t, I am not going to assume that ridiculous overcharge. I did tip, but not even close to what I normally would. The sticky toffee pudding was good but imo the lemon blueberry cheesecake was even better—my husband got that. Anyway—it was a great meal! And the view was beautiful.
