Great experience having lunch with Gordon Ramsay in person. We chose the all you can drink package and had the prefix meal. The food was staggered well, nothing coming out too early or too late. Everything was hot and fresh and really enjoyed the shaved white truffles from Italy on the beef Wellington. I would not recommend the all you can drink package, however. The wine options were limited, and the Pinot Noir was not chilled to the appropriate temperature as is the case when ordering a bottle in the restaurant. Our server was not as attentive as we would have liked for all you can drink or for removing our plates. When Chef Ramsay arrived and came by our table, we had empty drink glasses and plates in front of us. With gratuity included in the package at 18%, we chose not to tip any further because we did not feel our server went above and beyond.

Danny our server took an already amazing brunch to the next level. His level of service and care to our table did not go unnoticed. He is a true gem and because of him I will be coming back to the restaurant on my next trip!! All that aside the food is delicious, the eggs Benedict were phenomenal & the ambiance from beginning to end was top notch!

Overall a great place for date night. Even though the meals are family sized, the dishes were delicious. Highly recommend trying out this place if you haven’t been yet!

Egg rolls crispy and delicious. Sea bass w drunken noodles was superb, perfectly cooked fish, nice sauce that didn’t take away from the fish. The only discontent was the Larb the white breast meat of the chicken was just too dry for my palate. Finished off w mango sorbet, nice ending. Extensive wine list with some decent prices and other wines Parkerized in price.

It was an amazing day experience. From the wait time (which is to be expected and them handling this logistics nightmare with different access levels and priorities so well) to the variety and freshness of the food and the great service l, it was absolutely amazing. It wasn't too busy at the crab brunch on a Monday, with reservation I waited only 20 minutes to be seated. My server was very fast, kind and attentive. Everyone working the buffet was amazing as well and tried to make your experience special and unique. The quality of the food was amazing, the prime rib medium rare and tender, the brisket juicy, melt in your mouth and flavorful. The king crab legs were plenty and replenished often. One secret meat that probably gets overlooked often at the Asian section: the duck! So delicious and juicy and just perfection! Don't sleep on it! Next to all the savory food the desserts were phenomenal as well. Crepes made to order were spectacular, the ice cream bar delicious and all the little cake slices made you feel you didn't eat that much dessert (yeah right... 😁 ). The macaroons deserve a special mention. They were far better than other macaroons that I paid a lot of money for before! Next time las Vegas I'll definitely be back here!
