A new addition to River Rock Casino Resort, Gordon Ramsay Steak is a familiar name in the very competitive celebrity chef space.
It's the first one to open in Canada, the vibe is of a classy steakhouse with modern touches.
Some things I liked and a few I didn't, the bar is rather large but comfortable, due to design and location there is no privacy, as the it's open to the hotel lobby and visible to everyone even from the casino entrance, the restaurant is a whole different matter, tucked away, and a nice layout.
Impecable service, from hostess to bartender to waiter, and maître d, very well choreographed,
The food as expected is beautifully plated, the presentation was worthy of Michelin star, as for the bar, my martini was prefect.
Things they can improve on, the lack of table clothes, as beautiful is to admire the marble tabletops, does not evoke a warm and upscale dining experience, please remove or replace the oddly shaped table lamp, the wine and spirits list is extensive, the dining menu however, I find it a little limited, they had meat selections from the US, Canada, Australia, and Japan, I tried the Jade Pure Farms Australian Wagyu, and the Idaho Snake River tenderloin, medium rare, neither exceptional, the Australian fillet was gamey and a bit chewy, the rest of the meal Soup, Salad, Bread, Sides, were delicious.
I had a lovely evening, relaxing, and very pleasant, I would definitely visit again, specially because I didn't have the opportunity to try their signature dish, Gordon Ramsay's Roasted Beef Wellington.
