Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen — Restaurant in Paradise

Such a fun experience! I've watched all of Gordon Ramsay's shows for years, so I was SO excited to finally have the opportunity to experience a few of his signature dishes for myself. As you walk through the front door, you're immediately greeted with a ton of Gordon Ramsay paraphernalia -- there are photos of him everywhere, including in the hallway to the washroom. As you walk up to the hostess stand, there's a giant wall celebrating the previous Hell's Kitchen winners on your right, and a wide selection of souvenirs and novelty items on your left; if you've always wanted your own Hell's Kitchen chef's jacket, you're in luck.

The service is similarly incredible; our server was extremely attentive and friendly, and did everything he could to create a fun experience for us. He walked us through the menu and offered suggestions to accommodate for our table's dietary restrictions, and he also treated the table to a complimentary birthday plate of sticky toffee pudding -- a delightful way to end the meal and to celebrate!

I wasn't feeling extremely hungry, so I decided to forego the appetizers and just have a main course. The rest of my table got individual starters, so the servers kindly offered me an empty small plate in case I wanted to sample a bite or two from anyone else, which was incredibly thoughtful. I ended up snagging a small bite of lobster risotto from one friend -- which was delightful -- and a smidge of a scallop from another friend. That bite of scallop was probably my favorite thing from the entire meal, so I really regret not getting one of my own -- it was so incredibly tender and beautifully seared. The butternut squash puree was a fantastic, largely neutral base, and the brussels sprouts were SO crispy.

My entree was another Gordon Ramsay classic, the crispy skin salmon. As the name implies, the skin was remarkably crispy, the perfect contrast against the tender, medium rare fish. It was served on top of a delightful mix of spatzle, asparagus, and mushrooms; the combination was the perfect base for the salmon, with a bit of earthiness from the mushrooms and a bite of spring from the asparagus. The mix was also topped with a phenomenal citrus beurre blanc, which was rich and creamy, while also adding a hint of acidity and freshness to lighten up the plate. Our table also shared a few of the sides, including the mac and cheese, potato puree, and roasted brussels sprouts. The potato puree, despite sounding exactly like mashed potatoes, were so much better than that -- they were rich, creamy, and oh so smooth. The creme fraiche added a lightness and slight tartness that just elevated the humble potato to the next level. The brussels sprouts were the same ones that were served with the scallop, which meant they were phenomenal -- they were perfectly crispy, and I loved the accompanying squash and the slight sweetness from the maple gastrique on top. It typically also comes with giant lardons, but they kindly put those on the side since we had a few folks in our group who didn't eat pork.

The meal ended with the sticky toffee pudding topped with speculous ice cream, and...wow. Words genuinely can't describe how phenomenal this dessert was. I'm usually not a huge fan of super sweet desserts, but they did such a fantastic job with this one. It was definitely very sweet, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly or sickeningly so, and the combination of the warm pudding with chilly ice cream was just perfect.

All in all, Hell's Kitchen was super fun! I'm glad I got to experience it and finally check this place off my bucket list! If you're a fan of Gordon Ramsay, it's definitely worth visiting once to see where all the magic (and...

So disappointing and just an overall awful experience from start to finish. The WORST dinning experience we have ever had in Las Vegas.To preface this, my partner and I have been to multiple Ramsey restaurants in Vegas and London over the years, and this was by far the worst experience we have ever had. FOOD 3/10 SERVICE 1/10 ATMOSPHERE 2/10

Overall could not even remotely call this fine dining, it felt more like a fast-food, sit-down cafeteria.

To start, our reservation was for 6:30 and we had to wait for over 10 minutes to be seated; at a table crammed into the back without any view of the kitchen. We asked the hostess to move to a different table with a view of the kitchen, which she stated we needed to pay extra ($20pp) we told her that's fine; but she repeated 3 more times about how we had to pay, each time we told her that's fine,until I told her very frankly we will pay just please seat us at a table. She did quickly seat us at a new table and only had to wait about 5 minutes, sadly her speed here was the best part of our experience.

When the server came she asked if we were celebrating anything, which we were, however it was never brought up again; not certain what the point was, if she was supposed to bring us something for our celebration was unclear, but nothing came of that.

The drinks and food came extremely fast, faster than ordering fast food at McDonald's, which was a bit odd.

My partner ordered the pork belly, which looked lovely, but tasted very chemically(3/10), while I ordered the steak tartare, which was fine but I've definitely had better(5.5/10).

My partner finished his pork belly before I was even 2/3 finished my tartar and the servers took my partners plate, which is NOT what's supposed to happen at a fine dining experience. We were both shocked at this.

I was just eating my last 2 bites of the tartar(food literally on my fork) when the server came and took my plate, and placed our mains. This was shocking, how can you have a fine dining restaurant where the servers take your plates while you are still eating?!? Absurd.

We both ordered the beef wellington, which was awful. I assume the carrots and turnips were meant to be al dente, however they were raw, and not even close to Al dente. The beef wellington itself was horrible, soggy, and just unappealing. We did laugh as it had was almost like eating a Gregg's sausage roll that had been microwaved(but even that is better). My plate, but not my partner's also had random patches of intense salt, like too salty to eat (and I love salt).

They took our plates very quickly, and the server asked if we wanted dessert. We looked at the menu and decided against dessert. When she came by to ask we said no, and she just disappeared and returned with the check in like 45 seconds, we hadn't even finished our original cocktails and she did not ask if we wanted other cocktails or anything else. Originally we were planning on trying more of the drinks but after that we just decided to leave as the entire experience was the worst dinning experience we had ever had in Vegas.

Once actually seated the entire meal was rushed so fast it was ridiculous, we were at the table for less than 30 minutes in total. Worst experience ever. We will not recommend this to anyone.

Honestly what an absolute waste of...

My wife has loved the show since the first season, so I decided to take her here for our one year wedding anniversary dinner celebration. I have been here once years ago and had a mediocre experience.

This time it really was about the same experience. We ordered the lobster risotto and honestly this was the best of the courses we had.

We then were served our appetizers of the 3 pan seared scallops. The presentation alone set me up for disappointment. They were not even golden color and pure white.

No searing at all and under cooked. My wife's scallops were slightly seared but still under done as well. They were tender but tasted like they were steamed. We did let our server know about our displeasure in the scallops.

We felt we were basically brushed off and he went away. I noticed they keep changing the amount of scallops they serve. I see 3 at one time, then 4 another and sometimes even 5.

There has been no consistency, seeing other reviews with the scallops,I know this is why Gordon has lost some Michelin stars. This was due to his inconsistent servings and quality in several establishments.

Our next serving was Gordon's signature Beef Wellington. The filo dough around the welling was soggy at the bottom and sides, and not even crispy upon cutting into the filet.

The flavor was well pronounced but felt like something was missing from it. Perhaps salt, it was very bland. The filet cut was a good quality cut of beef and tender to chew.

Upon receiving the Wellingtons our server did bring me two more scallops that were perfectly cooked this time. The Wellingtons were served not hot, but not cold. But just sort of warm. This was the problem I had last time. I had cold food on my last visit and then our cold under cooked scallops this time.

The sticky toffee pudding was our last event . As all the other reviews have said,it is a home run from Gordon. This was delicious all around and a reasonably sized serving.

I have dined at alot of fine establishments, however I find Hells Kitchen to be just a another brand now.

I felt there was no love in the food and felt like it was just prepared on a assembled culinary production line. I think Gordon has become too big and really has lost focus on his standards.

Gordon really needs to have his hands in the soup here and get the quality back to match his standards and expectations.

The atmosphere in Hells Kitchen is very noisy, and the dress code is not really enforced and they allow pretty much anything to be worn in here.

It was very difficult to hear my wife right next to me due to the large dinning room and super high ceiling.

Everything just echos and is amplified greatly thru out the restaurant. The music was way too loud inside for a fine dinning establishment.

If your looking for a romantic quiet and or high end time dinning experience, Hells Kitchen is not the place to come.

At best, Hells Kitchen is a place to say you have "been there, done that" type of experience. You will be paying $350.00 for two without drinks for that experience though.

We have zero problems paying for quality high end dinning. However it was a miss for a high end experiences at Hells Kitchen and is way over rated for the price point of this establishment by Gordon.

Happy dinning and best...
