Hell’s Kitchen or Heaven’s Plates?​​ 🔥🥩

Finally checked off my ​​bucket-list meal​​ at Gordon Ramsay’s Vancouver outpost—thanks to a very generous invite from River Rock Casino! 📍 ​​Gordon Ramsay Steak​​ (Inside River Rock Casino Resort, Richmond) ​​🍽️ Tasting Menu Highlights​​ ​​✨ Starters That Stole the Show:​​ • ​​Beef Tartare​​ - Perfectly seasoned, ​​zero raw-meat funk​​ (unlike some cough over-salted online reviews warned) • ​​Caesar Salad​​ - Creamy but ​​not dry-cheese-bombed​​ (looking at you, other restaurants 👀) • ​​Miso Black Cod​​ - ​​Buttery divinity​​—my favorite bite of the night • ​​Pork Belly​​ - Sweet glaze = meh (team savory forever) ​​🔥 Mains: The Beef Breakdown​​ • ​​Wellington​​ - ​​Juicy medium-rare​​, flaky crust (shockingly not the dry disaster Reddit rants about!) • ​​Wagyu Mishmash​​ - A5 Japan + US + Aussie wagyu = ​​overkill​​. Pro tip: Wagyu’s best hot & fast (hotpot >>> steakhouse) • ​​Sides​​: Brussels sprouts ​​>​​ cheesy potato mash (too rich) ​​>​​ meh mushrooms ​​🍰 Dessert Redemption Arc​​ • ​​Black Forest Trifle​​ - Boozy, chocolatey, ​​unlike any other​​ • ​​Cheesecake​​ - Not tooth-achingly sweet (post-steak lifesaver) ​​💡 Insider Scoop:​​ River Rock’s team shared that the menu was ​​tweaked for local tastes​​—less salt/sugar than GR’s US spots. It shows! ​​Verdict:​​ ✔️ ​​Wellington = worth trying​​ (but share—it’s HUGE) ✔️ ​​Cod & tartare = must-orders​​ ❌ ​​Wagyu flight = skip​​ (save for shabu-shabu) ​​Hey Ramsay fans!​​ 👨‍🍳 Would you splurge here?
