Boston new store | Ramsay's Kitchen is good but not amazing

🍴 Ramsay's Kitchen: Gordon Ramsay’s Boston Spot—Tasty, but Not Mind-Blowing Scored a table after a month-long wait for this new addition to Boston’s dining scene (inside the Mandarin Oriental)—and let’s just say, our expectations were tempered (Ramsay’s restaurants can be hit-or-miss). The verdict? Solid food, chill vibes, but no need to fight for a reservation. 😌 🎨 The Vibe & Service Interior: Laid-back, not stuffy—think modern, casual decor that feels approachable. Service: Staff was friendly but frazzled (probably still ironing out new-opening kinks). No major issues, just a little slow. 🍽️ The Food: Hits (and Small Misses) Portions are tiny—we ordered a ton and still cleaned our plates. Here’s the breakdown: Beef Wellington 🥩 • Tender, perfectly cooked beef with a flavorful sauce—delicious. But: The pastry could’ve been thicker (we wanted more crunch!), and no foie gras felt like a letdown. Still, a solid version. Lamb Chops 🍖 • Fall-off-the-bone tender—texture was chef’s kiss. Flavor, though? A little too mild. Could’ve used more herbs or a bolder glaze. Lobster Roll 🦞 • Light, fresh, and buttery—classic New England vibes. No complaints, but nothing groundbreaking. Clam Chowder 🍲 • Rich, creamy, and packed with clams—tastes amazing. Only gripe: It was a bit thin; traditional chowder should be thicker. Sticky Toffee Pudding 🍮 • My favorite! Warm, gooey, with a hint of rum—sweet tooths, rejoice. Fair warning: It’s intense (skip if you hate rich desserts). 💰 The Price Tag Apps: ~$20, Mains: $40–$60—on par for a "celebrity chef" spot, but portions feel skimpy for the cost. 📌 Final Take Worth a try? Sure. But no need to obsess over booking. Wait until the hype dies down, then go for the chowder and sticky toffee pudding. It’s good—not great. 🤷‍♀️ #BostonFineDining #GordonRamsay #NewEats #FoodieFinds
