Had the honour of having a chef led menu that was absolutely an experience!! Gordon Ramsay steak was part of an auction item for Arthritis Canada- and wow did they deliver an experience! From the moment we arrived it was a very special experience! Seated with friends in a beautiful alcove with a view of the River. The menu was greatly anticipated. From the welcome to the bread course- oh my goodness can I have bone marrow butter every day?!? It was a feast for the eyes and palate! Lobster and scallop dish with french bubbles, wagyu tartar with a beautiful French Pinot from Burgandy, a clementine palate cleanser that I may dream about. But the show stopper- the A5 wagyu?!? The absolute best ever- we have been disappointed so many times with so called wagyu- this was the real deal- cooked to perfection! And my husband would have eaten the sauce with a spoon!!!! Another fabulous red. Dessert was a magic apple looking Black Forest cake! I am forgetting parts- but the meal and experience was extraordinary! Highly recommend! Add this to your list of places to eat for a wonderful experience. Definitely choose the dining room! Or the patio if the weather is nice!!! read more

To be honest - I am bit torn writing this review after going with my best friend for a celebration. I am not a big fan of the sales tactic of making a table order drinks - when they seat you they give you the drink menu and say "your food menu will come soon". The problem is ... we were then sitting awkwardly at our table for about 8-13 minutes before we were then given the food menu. We did note that tactic was used for all tables as that must be their servicing house rules and not server specific. While we did order drinks we enjoy them ~with~ our food, they also took awhile to come. You check in at the front and there is a small dining section than mirrored hallway walk to the bigger dining section where you can see the kitchen. I found the plates cheap looking in nature. It didn't match the aesthetic and prestige that this restaurant is trying to uphold. Feels very disconnected in nature. On to the dishes/drinks ordered: Warm bread: expensive at $9. Passable but I imagine people order this while drinking so an easy order for the table. Pork belly: this is S W E E T. While the menu noted it is made with a black cherry gastrique we underestimated how thick and sweet this would be (we had both had pork chop/duck entrees that had or featured a cherry demi glace). It covered the entirety of the tender pork belly and made it unappetizing to us both because of the dessert heavy flavouring was so overpowering. It felt like it was missing the acid/vinegar component to offset the sweetness. When our server checked in with us we were honest with our feedback and he then got the house manager involved and was able to "switch" out the appetizer. They both had recommended the risotto so we went with that in replacement. Risotto: good flavour but even for an appetizer I think it is alarmingly small for the price point. I think the risotto could be offered with a protein and be successful as its own spot for an entree. Roasted beef Wellington (comes with 2 sides glazed root vegetables and potato puree) - this was the main reason and excitement drawing us to this restaurant. It was cooked amazingly. Beautifully tender. Vegetables were just roasted carrots - they were fine but we thought there'd be more of a variety. Potato puree - also fine. Mac & cheese: forgettable. Not sure why there were green peppers in it. Brussel sprouts: good addition. Sticky toffee pudding: great for its sweetness. If I ordered again I would ask for the sauce on the side. Notes from Gordon: tasted very floral and perfume like. I found the presentation a bit too "casual" for $20 A diving bell: spicier than we had thought but it was fine. There were a lot of serves/bussers around and we could tell the restaurant was not particularly busy and because we were seated right beside the kitchen it just felt awkward being around groups of talking staff. This was especially amplified when we had empty plates/drinks to be removed and water glasses that could use refilling but neither were being tended to. One busser served us from the right side moving our lamp out of the way, with her thumb in the veggie bowl and when famously should be done by the left and because we were sitting the closest to the kitchen it felt lazy to serve across us and move the lamp than to come on the "freer" side of the table. Bussers were also not ... pleasant or welcoming? So while we had good service from our server and house server it felt uneven when others were delivering all the dishes monotonously. This did not hit the mark for us at a $325~ dining experience. It left us underwhelmed. read more

Finally got a chance to try the Gordon Ramsay Steak restaurant. I came here with B to celebrate. We made our reservation through OpenTable and in the reservation it did ask if we were celebrating anything and yes I did fill that out. I knew that the restaurant is know for their beef wellington and we came here for that. The beef wellington for two was $168 (it also came with carrots and potatoes puree). I believe couple months back it was $188 but it looks like they reduced the price. To start we got the warm bread and spread. We also got a side of blistering shishito peppers. B also got the draft madri and 5 oz Burrowing Owl Syrah 2021. The wine was recommended by our server and it pared well with the beef wellington. The warm bread was very soft but it was quite oily. The butter that came with the bread was delicious. The beef wellington was delicious. The beef tenderloin was super tender and soft. The puff pastry was cooked well. It came with a red wine demi and that was perfect for the beef wellington. We got two complimentary gougere with our meal. That was tasty but nothing too special. The root vegetables were carrots and they were tasty and again nothing too special. The potatoe puree was tasty. The blistering shishito peppers were something that we never had before or seen served at other restaurants. The sauce at the bottom of the pepper was super delicious. The peppers were interesting. 1 out of 100 of the peppers could be spicy. I realized the longer the pepper the higher the chance of it being spicy. Nonetheless that was tasty. Because we were there to celebrate, we were given a free dessert at the end. We got the Sticky Toffee pudding. That was nothing special but we were told that is Gordon Ramsay's grandma recipe. On top we also got two of the petite four. One was chocolate and the other was earl gray macaroon. We left super full at the end. The restaurant decor was very nice. Service was excellent. Basically one server serving three tables. We were attended right away. Plates were removed right after we finish a dish. Our water was filled immediately. Everything was top notch. It was also a full house on the day that we went and we went on a Friday night. Parking is available on site. At the end of the night, we talked about coming back for another celebration. B definitely wanted to try their other dishes especially the other steaks they have on the menu. read more

Got taken here for my birthday celebration. We ordered the beef wellington for 2 and a side of mac and cheese. Service was amazing and the beef was unexpectedly tender. Really strong mushroom flavour in the wellington. Amuse bouche was also a nice touch, and we were too full to try their sticky toffee pudding but they gave us a little piece of cake with frosting anyways! read more

Went here for my birthday and had high expectations as it's Gordon Ramsey restaurant. The server told us the beef wellington will take 45 minutes which we were ok with. The starter bread was decent. Fluffy bread with salted butter spread. The tuna was good as well, can't go wrong. The beef wellington comes with the mashed potatoes and carrots. The mashed potatoes were very very salty. I dont find it very creamy either, which I had much better ones than this. This one was just a lot of butter. The carrots were not cooked evenly. Some were good while others were very much raw still. The beef wellington itself was just ok. It wasn't like wow this is so good I need seconds, which was a little disappointing. It was super duper filling though so just one slice was more than enough for me. The mushrooms inside was fragrant and nice the beef was cooked nicely. It just didn't really stand out to me and I definitely wouldn't get it again. However, the sticky toffee was delicious! It was a tad on the sweet side, but it was good as it's warm along with the cold ice cream making it very irresistible. If they made the toffee a little less sweet, then it'll be perfect! Overall the experience was ok. The place was a bit gloomy and loud but it was spacious. read more

I had to try this place since it's right in the lobby of the hotel I was staying at, and the prices were more reasonable than Gordon Ramsay restaurants in the U.S. I was curious to see whether his restaurant could actually live up to the standards he sets on TV. Reservations require a credit card, and they do charge for late arrivals, no-shows, or last-minute cancellations. They charge an extra fee if your card isn't from one of their 3 preferred banks. I don't have one, and it's a huge turn-off to see this kind of nickel-and-diming at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. I expected this to feel more high-end given Gordon Ramsay's reputation, but the overall vibe was very casual. Right after we were seated, I was already a bit let down by the cleanliness of the table. There were visible wipe marks from the cleaning cloth on both the table and the utensils (shown in my photos), which made me question whether everything was actually clean. I expected better from a restaurant with his name on it. The small lamp on the table was also awkwardly placed and constantly in the way. Unlike most U.S. steakhouses, there's no complimentary bread, but the warm bread we ordered was worth it. As much as I love ribeye, I felt obligated to try the Beef Wellington as a first-time visitor since it's Gordon Ramsay's signature dish. The tenderloin inside was the best I've had, better than the tenderloin used in two-person meals at other steakhouses, very tender and well-cooked. The flavor was unique, and I later found out it was due to the real truffle. That said, the truffle was very strong and heavy. It quickly killed our appetite, and we found it hard to keep eating. I forced myself to finish the rest after removing some of the truffle layer. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it's not something I'd crave. I'd still recommend it if it's your first visit and you want to try his signature dish. The potato purée was good, very airy and smooth compared to regular mashed potatoes. The carrots were fine but nothing special. We also ordered the wild roasted mushrooms as an extra side, and surprisingly, that ended up being our favorite dish of the night. We actually liked it more than the Beef Wellington. Even though the portions weren't huge, the truffle made us feel so heavy that we had to take the sides to go, which has never happened to me at a steakhouse before. We didn't even get desserts. Our server Allan was great and provided solid service. I'd definitely come back the next time I stay at this hotel, but I'd order my usual ribeye to see how it compares. read more

We visited Gordon Ramsay Steak at River Rock Casino before a concert at the theatre, and it was a perfect start to the evening. The meal began with their soft, brioche-like bread and local butter, simple yet indulgent. Of course, we saved some bread to enjoy with the butternut squash soup, which was incredibly rich and full of flavor. Always enjoy this soup and we "cleaned" the bowl accordingly. For mains, I had the Cornish game hen, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The sautéed pea tip sprouts were an unexpected nice accompaniment that soaked up all the flavours. The standout dish, though, was the sablefish... super flaky, buttery, and full of depth from the dashi (though I definitely could've used a spoon for that broth!). We ended on a high note with the sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely fantastic... warm, rich, and comforting. A little more ice cream would've been perfect to balance out the sweetness, but it was still great nonetheless. And of course, I can always have more ice cream. read more

We celebrated our anniversary at Gordon Ramsay Steakhouse in Richmond and it was such a memorable night. The space feels perfect for special occasions, and of course we had to try the famous Beef Wellington for two. Served medium rare with glazed root vegetables, potato purée, and a rich red wine demi-glace, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once (though I still lean toward a classic steak). We also had warm bread, the Dungeness crab cake, mac and cheese, cocktails, peppermint tea, and for dessert the chocolate tart and sticky toffee pudding -- plus some complimentary treats like pâte à choux, a mini macaron, and a little chocolate bite. The star of the night for me was hands down the sticky toffee pudding. If this restaurant was closer, I'd honestly go back just for that. Food 4.5/5 (the beef Wellington was a bit under seasoned) Service 4.5/5 (overall it was good. It is very minor but I noticed that other tables that were celebrating their anniversary or birthday had a note on their dessert while ours didn't.) Ambiance 5/5 Parking 5/5 (free parking in the hotel parking garage) read more

Must try for the record. I have to try this talk of the town restaurant. Located with in River Rock casino and hotel. Parking is here is free,clean and state of the art facility. Service is excellent and our server is very helpful and friendly. Foods we ordered are excellent but pricey,presentation is 10/10. Main dish is the beef wellington huge and can feed 3-4 adult,but the beef is so pink not sure if this dish is really cooked rare. Serves alcoholic beverages,very neat place,washroom is immaculately clean. Not all credit card is accepted and there's extra charge for paying with credit card. It was my b-day when we visited and i got to blow my b-day candle. Family friendly,kids friendly,good for group. Romantic vibes is in the air. You guys should try it yourself but for me its really pricey: Kudos Gordon Ramsay another restaurant in town. read more

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. read more

There were three of us in our party. We each ordered one steak, plus a variety of sides. Our steaks arrived and we had them in front of us, then the server showed up with a random 4th steak that we definitely did not order. It was super awkward because he was just standing there with this extra steak. Luckily he took it away and we weren't charged for it. We were super clear in our ordering so I don't know what happened. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and was nicely decorated. I had the Japanese Wagyu and it was the softest steak I ever had. I also had the Notes from Gordon cocktail and it was so good, so smooth. I loved the mac and cheese. I need to find out the exact pasta shape that is used in that dish (it's not macaroni). Overall, a great meal. However, I do feel very strongly that they should not charge for the bread. With the cost of the meal, the bread should definitely be free as it is at a lot of places. read more

Made a reservation to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday as he enjoys watching clips of Gordan Ramsey's cooking to learn from. We were promptly greeted and taken to our table in the back in the formal dining room that's quieter and nicer than the front lounge of the restaurant that faces the casino and River Rock hotel lobby. The menu was explained to us by our server, along with the features of the day. I was pleasantly surprised that they offer mocktail features plus have three solid mocktails on the drink list, along with options like non-alcoholic beers and pop. My boyfriend ordered the Red Eye old fashioned and I got the One Night in Tulum mocktail. Both drinks were solid - no complaints. We ordered the warm bread, wild mushroom risotto, Jade Pure Australian wagyu striploin, Snake River Farms Wagyu skirt steak from Idaho, and fries. We were provided with a complimentary amuse buche which was excellent and our warm herbed bread came shortly after with spiced butter. This was pretty good and the rest of our food came shortly after we finished the bread - well timed out. I enjoyed the recommended Snake River Farms wagyu skirt steak as having just returned from Japan earlier this week, it was a nice fushion of both an wagyu and an American steak - rich, buttery, but meaty. The mushroom risotto was tasty and not overly salty, which I really appreciated, plus came with plenty of wild mushrooms. Fries were really good and the mustard aioli was better than I expected, as am not a big mustard fan. For dessert, we decided to split the famous sticky toffee pudding. It was nice but nothing to write home about. The restaurant did comp the dessert for my boyfriend's birthday, which was really nice, and the pudding did also have a special 'Happy Birthday' chocolate on it. Both food and service were solid. Was it the best we had? No, but it certainly didn't disappoint and we would definitely consider returning for another special occasion. read more

The food was amazing however our particular waitress was not attentive and did not really provide appropriate service for the venue. We spent the first 30 minutes waiting for our menu and water. Similarly after giving us the menu, she did not return for another 30 minutes. This repeated several times such as dessert ordering and paying for the bill. Food service was quiet, efficient and tasty. read more

Definitely lives up to the hype in taste and price We had an amazing experience, as you'd expect from any Gordon Ramsay restaurant but the highlight of the night was the sticky toffee pudding! First we got some small savory puffs as an amuse bouche. And we ordered the warm bread because we thought it would be one of those places with tiny portions lol. The bread was so light and fluffy with its own flavor... but just a dab of the butter was absolute heaven! Next we had the beef tartare, also delicious with its own unique cheesy and meaty flavor. We got the roasted beef wellington at the same time and it came with potato puree and glazed root vegetables which all really completed the meal for us. The starches felt light but definitely filled us up. And the vegetables were done amazingly too. Finally we had the sticky toffee pudding as our dessert and I could have about this for years! It was not heavy at all. Some might say its a bit sweet but the toffee was smooth and silky so it acted more like a glaze on the pudding than the heavy caramel flavor we're used to. I would go back just for this!! Great experience with service and its quite an upscale place but it was really busy when we went. Love it as an occasional date night or celebration spot but it does hurt the wallet lol! read more

The service here is fantastic--friendly and very professional. The staff is honestly the best part of the experience. We started with a complimentary pastry that was unexpectedly delicious. We had the warm bread with spread --make sure to eat it while it's warm. Next, we had the creamy wild mushroom risotto --delicious. Then we had The Beef Wellington--Ramsay's signature dish--looks stunning on the plate, with its perfectly rosy center and crisp pastry. But the flavours fall a little flat for our taste. It's not bad, just surprisingly underwhelming. The fries are average, saved only slightly by the dip beside them. For desserts, I agree with the recommended sticky toffee pudding for its deliciousness, but the tiramisu has a strong alcohol taste. Lastly, there's a complimentary small sweets of chocolate and macaroon. So, as a tip, there's a complimentary pastry at the start and a small sweet at the end. The Beef Wellington comes with mashed potatoes and vegetables, which is enough. We honestly thought the serving was small, so we ordered other appetizers and sides. Overall, it's a nice place with excellent service, but the food we had felt just "fine," not great. read more

We finally tried the famous Gordon Ramsay Steak Restaurant at River Rock Casino the other day. The setting of the restaurant is interesting. It comes in two sections, one part is a legit restaurant setting and the other part is like a restaurant lobby cafe. But both parts are comfortable and well decorated. We ordered a crab cake, a mushroom risotto with lobster, and a Beef Wellington which came with a side of glazed carrot and mash potato. I was a bit surprised that there weren't complimentary dinner rolls but there was a piece of complimentary pastry per person. The three dishes we ordered as good as expected - fresh ingredients, cooked to just about right, with good seasonings. The glazed carrot was a bit grassy though. There was nothing wow-ing in the meal, which I expected from a restaurant opened by a star chef, and at this price point. We were too full to order dessert, but there were two tiny pieces of complimentary sweet treats at the end. Our sever was great. He was friendly and took good care of us. There's a 2% service fee for paying with credit card. Not cool. Overall, I'd say it's a decent place for celebrations, but I don't think I'll have a craving to dine at this restaurant again. read more

Visiting a Gordon Ramsay Steak restaurant has been a dream for my mum and I for years. When we were in Vegas a few years ago, we didn't get a chance to try it there but as soon as we heard it was coming to Vancouver, it was a must try for both of us. This weekend, we were celebrating my mum's birthday which also happens to be in the same week as Mother's Day. So Ofcourse, Gordon Ramsay steak was the place we needed to be at. We made a reservation online which was such as easy process to do, but we did notice how fast the reservations were booking up. We ordered: - Miso Glazed Sablefish - Pan Seared Salmon - Sticky Toffee Pudding - British Stout Onion Soup - Heated Exchange Mocktail Food: the food was just as we expected it to be. DELICIOUS. I think we both inhaled our food because it was so good lol! Service: the service was wonderful right from the moment we got there to the time we left. I don't think I have anything negative to say. Shout out to our server, Brenda, who was amazing throughout the evening. Ambiance: the restaurant itself had a really interesting concept. As you enter, it leads to a very open space of tables and the bar which is considered the lounge area. However, as you walk through a gorgeous walk way, it leads you to a fine dining room and a door to the patio area. Absolutely loved the concept of how it was built. Loved how high end yet casual it felt while we were there. Overall, it was an amazing experience. My mum was very happy when we left and she's already thinking of our next visit! I'm so happy we had this experience to celebrate her. read more

first I thought the beef wellington was tough but it was the knife supplied to me twice dull couldn't cut through pastry or the meat. When choosing a drink we were told we were wrong. The waiter tyler said told us we don't like drinks to be change. We wanted to order appetizers first but was told we were wrong once again. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and it wasnt as special like expected. We lost are waiter plenty of time and spent time waiting, we were told we were dining wrong and lastly bad kitchen ware having a hard time cutting my wellingtonton. Lastly the wellington wasn't good and when I mentioned that to the oh he said I'm eating it wrong either way not a good experience. read more

Finally got to try this place, and I must say it was not disappointing at all. The restaurant located in the front house of the casino, we made reso around 7:30pm on a weekday night, and the restaurant was full. The inside has a contemporary decor with high ceiling, and beautiful lighting fixture. It's very spacious. After we sat down, our server Bob came over and introduced himself to us and recommended some drinks. We tried some dirty martini, and the cocktail called Notes from Gordon. The dirty martini was standard, but the Notes from Gordon was nicely done, not too sweet and refreshing. It actually came with a printed note on each drink, which was unique. For appetizer, we tried risotto with scallop, which was very nicely done. The scallop is so tender, and the risotto was moist. For main course, we ordered the 30oz aged steak, and roasted beef Wellington with some sides including potato puree, fries, Brussel sprouts. We also ordered the chimichurri sauce to go with the steak, which gave a nice touch to it. The beef Wellington was nicely cooked, tender and moist. The crust on the outside is very crunchy, and the truffle in between added extra flavor, which went well with the beef. The bone-in aged porterhouse was nicely done. Juicy and tender. The portion for both were very generous and they were shared among four of us, and we could barely finish them. I'm very satisfied with our meal, from the service to the food, everything was exceeding my expectations. I will be back if we celebrate other special occasions. read more

last visit March 2025 Warm Bread: For $9, it's not cheap. But yes, it's really good. Herb & spiced butter makes thos addictive; However, I still prefer the Torn Bread at Annalena, but this is up there. 4.5 stars Wild Mushroom Risotto We were already blown away by the Hell's Kitchen menu at Gordon Ramsey Steakhouse in Vegas a decade earlier; what we weren't expecting was this to be even better (didn't even add the scallops). Truly decadent, perfect seasoning and texture, perfectly cooked. 5 stars, 10/10 Wellington for 2: Yes, this is pricey, but you get 4 slices of Beef Wellington! (we could only finish 1 each! Lots of leftovers) The quality of the beef (tasted like filet mignon) was the best we've ever had, as well as the puff pastry was also the best we've had. My only minor gripe is that oy has a hair under seasoned, but I'll take under instead of over any day. 5 stars, 9.9/10 The Wellington comes with 2 sides, potato puree & root vegetables: The potato puree was very fluffy, whipped and airy. Perfectly done, but at the end of the day still whipped mashed potatoes. 4.5 stars The Root vegetables were multicolored carrots. Beautifully buttery, we would've ordered these separately of they hadn't been included! 5 stars. Bacon Mac & Cheese: we knew this would be good. It was a hair over seasoned (it *is* Cheese after all) but oh so decadent. 5 stars. Brussel Sprouts. Again, decadent, perfectly seasoned. 5 stars Sticky Toffee Pudding; The first time we tried this at Gordon Ramsey Steak House in Vegas, it instantly became one of our favourite desserts. This one didn't disappoint, and the serving was more generous here. 5 stars Along with Gordon Ramsey Steak in Vegas, every visit to Annalena, first visit to Le Crocodile, (2nd visit was during the changeover), this ranks among the best meals we've ever had. Overall 5 stars, 10/10 read more

Gordon Ramsay Steak in Richmond provided an exceptional pre-show date night at the River Rock Theatre. We started with fantastic drinks--the One Night in Tulum Mocktail was a standout, alongside a solid Fuggles Blood Orange beer. For our mains, the Miso Glazed Sablefish and the savory Cornish Hen were perfectly executed. The surprise highlight was definitely the comforting starter dishes, butternut squash soup with warm bread. Perfect for fall weather season. As it should, the meal concluded with the signature, decadent Sticky Toffee Pudding. The service was truly amazing; our server, Matteo, was attentive and professional, and it was clear the entire team operates like a well-oiled machine. As a frequent diner at the Las Vegas location, I was thoroughly impressed by the consistency and quality here. read more

OK... Let's be frank here. It's a restaurant that is setup by world famous chef and tv personality Gordon Ramsay. So you might think that it's overhyped, overrated, and over priced. You can fight me on the price but trust me, the hype is real and my rating is real. From the moment you step into the River Rock Casino, you get the feeling that Gordon is here - because you can't miss the floor to ceiling LED panel column that blows up with the signature flames. AND the huge Gordon Ramsay Steak smack in the middle of the place is a "subtle" reminder. Step up to the entrance to their lobby bar and please make sure you have a dinner reservation, or you just want to hang out at the lobby bar. Once confirmed, exit stage right! You are walked down a hallway lined with wine bottles and then a cut out caricature of the man himself signals your arrival. Ladies and Gents - expect service to be beyond your expectations. From the moment you sit to the moment you cheerfully walk out, you will have the pentultimate of service. Our server was Allan, and if you can get him, definitely ask for his table. He is a man that will make your night wonderful. Attentive, jovial, and single minded about making your night special. We had a couple of drinks to start. Get the "message from Gordon" - it's one of his insult quotes for you to take home. Wines are catered to you by their sommelier and as you can expect, they will make impeccable recommendations. So .. what to order. Ask if they have a Chef's menu for the night, if so, check your bank balance and go for it. Our evening had more delish suprises than being Charlie at a Wonka factory. AND of course, the menu will have Gordon's famous Beef Wellington. It is as good as you think it will be and then some. All in all, YES ... the hype is real. Yes... the rating is 5 stars. Yes... make sure you know that this will be an expensive dining experience! Totally recommended. CHEERS!!! read more

I never felt a fondness towards Gordon Ramsay until I saw his renovation show on TV a few years ago. He & his crew went across the States renovating restaurants, giving them a new chance at survival in a very tough industry. The clips of him screaming at apprentices in Hells Kitchen really put me off him, rubbing me the wrong way. Besides he must have had the big kahunas to scream at people, while there's dozens of very sharp knives laying around! Yikes! This is the second location for Gordon Ramsay Steak, in Metro Vancouver. Reaction & feedback so far, to paying a heckava lot for a burger & or steak has been mixed. It's quite pricey so be prepared! There's plenty of already established steakhouses all over Metro Vancouver - ala Gotham, Hy's, Elisa, The Victor, The Keg, Earl's etcetera. You'll just have to peruse my page & check out my reviews - the competition is fierce. Located in the lobby of the River Rock Casino in Richmond, it's really hard not to miss when you walk in as it's centre located. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed & colourful. However, it's set in an open type setting & I'm not so sure I like that. I would have appreciated a few private type booths as when I eat steak, you really don't wanna see the faces I make - could cause major alarm & panic! LOL! Here I was at lunch time & it was closed. Bummer! Please note current operating hours are limited to evenings only. Check out the website. read more

First time at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant so my expectations were pretty high. The beef wellington was significantly bigger portions than I thought. We enjoyed this with the mashed potatoes and carrots. We also tried the warm bread, french onion soup, crab cake and pork belly to start! We had leftovers and we were so full we didn't even have dessert. I wish I knew ahead of time about the dining area that was tucked away in the back and how pretty it was. We got the lounge though it was hard to get reservations so I won't complain. It was so busy that the walk-ins had to sit at the bar which was completely full. I will come here for drinks and desserts one night. read more

I made a reservation ahead of time to celebrate a 30th birthday with my husband. Upon arriving, I was met with a open style lounge area, which is more casual and brightly, lit and quiet. We were brought further in, however, into a more private and classy interior space which I prefer preferred for my purpose. We started our meal with several appetizers: the Caesar salad, risotto with scallops, and the beef tartare. The Caesar salad looked heavy with dressing, but was in fact, light and very appetizing. It had hints of some spice like horseradish to cut through with the thickness of an otherwise dense sauce. The wild mushroom risotto with scallop was very creamy, cooked well, and not salty. The scallops were very tender and soft as well. (Scallops were $25+). The beef tartar came with a quail egg at the top as well as some veggie chips on the side. The beef tartare was chewy and well flavored, but the chips were too salty. When pairing with the beef tartar, we found that the chips overpowered the subtle flavors of the beef. Now onto of the night, which is the beef Wellington. It was 188 for a portion for 2 (there was no option to order one singular portion). The beef was cooked to perfection very tender and juicy. The puff pastry elements were crispy and flaky. The only negative was the mushroom purée that separated the beef and the puff pastry. We found that it was too overpowering for the other elements in the dish and did not let the beef shine. The dish came with two sides: mashed potatoes and roasted caramelized carrots. The carrots were sweet and delightful and the mashed potatoes were great. For dessert, we ordered the popular sticky toffee pudding. It had a little bit of ice cream on top and the texture was soft juicy and excellent. We found the ambience of this private seating area to be very comfortable and appropriate, with view of the kitchen and next to an outdoor lounge area. The service was attentive, and it was clear that the team cared a lot about small details. read more

I was super-stoked to eat here, love Gordon Ramsey & I live in Las Vegas but work for a CP competitor so I just won't dine at his collection in Las Vegas, so this opportunity was "beyond". Here is where I was totally let down: 1-to eat at the bar they want every last piece of information from you, which is mind-boggling and sort of set a weird tone for my dining experience 2-I waited quite a bit of time to place my order, however, there were 11 staff members standing around between the bar and service entry 3-my order was simple; Caesar salad and mushroom risotto with scallops 4-it took 14 minutes to get the salad yet ironically, the guy seated down from me ordered his salad, at least five minutes after me and got his before me. When I asked one of the servers, "why"? His response was there was a computer glitch. He changed his tune and said there was a mixup in the kitchen. 5-there was no salt or pepper to be found and when you're sitting at the bar, there's really no need to place the napkin on my lap. Additionally, most bar service, fine, dining places, a napkin or placemat down as your service standard. This place did not. 6-the risotto arrived, presentation was dark and the worst part was, it was lukewarm at best. I flagged the server to come over and state this and was responded with an answer that the menu had changed that day and everybody was getting used to it.. which I find ironic because looking at OpenTable and yelp reviews the mushroom risotto has been on the menu for a long time. Overall, yes, there are a lot of servers, but they're all more concerned with talking to each other and not really providing what I would consider a five star experience. The flavor of the food was as expected from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, however the lukewarm risotto was far less enjoyable at that temperature.. Management did come over to somewhat apologize although they never said sorry. They did take care of the bill however that was not the point., the point was service was subpar and so was the overall dining experience. As I was leaving, a group of four gentlemen came to the bar to order drinks , either the bartender is confused or new or something else, but he basically refused to serve that group because they were friends of a larger group that was dining in the restaurant area. He didn't say he wouldn't serve them, but he questioned who they were and what they were doing at the bar instead of waiting at the table yet they were not sitting at the table.. seems to me like this place is stuck on bad policies instead of focusing on the guest experience and the product at hand. If only Chef Ramsey were here, I think he would be screaming and yelling and disappointed as well . read more

The service and food were excellent! Tried their Beef Wellington which comes with mashed potato and carrots read more

Our waiter/server was great, and this poor review is solely about the food and the prices. Our total bill was over $200 USD for 2 people. Fine, whatever, we saw the prices before we ordered, so that's on us. But it was crazy-expensive. However, for that price we expected excellent food and drink. Both of our filets (ordered medium well) were raw and bloody. It was like we got someone else's order. I would have sent them right back but they were closing and I know what that means-- nobody is paying attention. So we ate the edges of our filets. The two cocktails we ordered were not good-- it's amazing to me that a bartender can eff up two lemon drops, it's the easiest cocktail of all time. The caesar salad was delicious and was the highlight of an otherwise deplorable meal. I would go back to eat just the caesar salad, but it isn't called Gordon Ramsay's SALADhouse! This place really needs to step it up and substitute their white crispy napkins and pretty seating into better, well-cooked food. We were very disappointed after looking forward to this restaurant for over a month. I still kind of want my money back. The second star is because the server was so nice, and because at least it's in Canada. We won't be returning. read more

Went to Gordon Ramsey's steak for Anniversary. Been wanting to try it since it opened. Make sure to reserve a regular table and not in the lounge. Much more romantic even though my two children were with me. Had read some other reviews so I had an idea of what to expect. Food was a 10/10, Ambiance 10/10, service 10/10. Shout out to our server "Brenda". She treated us to a free hot toffee pudding for our anniversary. We were full from dinner but made room. The four of us wanted to try everything. So we started with the Warm bread, (great tasting butter). The wild mushroom risotto and Petite plateau. Which included 6 oysters, tuna tartar, 4 tiger prawns, a crudo with sauces and dips. Definitely use with the bento sauce. For the mains we ordered the Beef Wellington for 2. (Takes 45 mins.) The sable fish and the special Canada Day of a wagyu tri for $200. There was an Australian beef, American skeet steak and Japanese wagyu. I think the Japanese was the best tasting. This tri was only 20 dollars more for the total 12 ounce of steak. The sides we tried were root vegetables and potato purée came with the Welly. The Brussels (my fav.). They started us with an amuse-bouche very creamy bite. The risotto was a highlight as well as the tri. If you're into sweets Gordon's mom pudding is a wonderful treat. My only negative comment was even at 8:30 pm the sun was right in my son and my eyes the first part of the meal. I could not see my other family members. Overall a great meal but pricey at $600 before tip and taxes. In read more

Nice venue. Service and food were very average. Servers were pleasant but fairly slow and not synchronized so some of us received our food while others waited. The caesar salad was good, pork belly was good, crab cake was just ok, tenderloin steak was cooked more than requested, Brussel sprouts were ok, but the sauce on them was a bit too rich for my liking. I guess I expected more, but realize that this is actually just a chain restaurant. read more

This is easily the cheesiest "high end" steakhouse I've ever been in and I've been to quite a few up and down the west coast of North America. First turn off as you enter this wide open, brightly lit space in River Rock which The Curve used to occupy, you'll notice that there are no live plants anywhere in this supposedly "classy" steakhouse. I had their Caesar's salad which was probably the best thing they have on their menu. Both their French onion soup with stout and their 22 oz rib eye were over salted. The steak itself was totally unimpressive, it came out looking like and tasting much like the steak that came with the steak and eggs I had at Denny's for breakfast a couple of weeks ago. With hindsight, the Denny's steak was better because it came out unsalted. Definitely not a place you want to take someone you're looking to impress. The only things impressive were the prices. If you want to go just to see what it's like by all means go right ahead but please leave your high expectations at home because you won't find any here. Only thing I can say was good was the service, my waiter was very professional, for that they earned an extra star. read more

Another Kitchen Nightmare at Ramsay's... I have been looking forward to this place opening and giving it a try especially my experience at Ramsay's burger joint was as exciting as drinking a can of flat cola. Arrived and greeted by the hostesses, verified the reservation (reservation is recommended) and led us to our table in the bar/ lounge area, but seated literally right at the first table up front, behind the hostesses. There were other tables available, brilliant minds at work! (the bar/ lounge area right up front and the dining area at the backside). Anyways, here were the food I ordered; 1. Gougere. Little complimentary bites for dining guests. It was okay. 2. British stout onion soup. It had a generous portion of short ribs but was more like a beef stew than soup, the cheese was nice. However, I personally prefer the traditional French onion soup more. 3. Celery root soup. Surprisingly it was quite good with a nice light subtle taste. 4. Grand Plateau. Well lets say there's nothing grand about this besides the price; out of oysters so replaced with 4 prawns, no whole lobster so replaced with 2 chick lobster tails in halves, king crab LEGS meant a king crab leg in halves (LOL). The hamachi crudo was okay but as for the tuna tartare?? Was I supposed to order some bread or bring my own taro chips for it? This Grand Plateau ($249) is consisted of the the Petite Plateau for $64 and for an additional $185 you get "A" king crab leg in halves and some kind of Canadian lobster; maybe a whole lobster or maybe a couple of chick lobster tails. I tried many seafood towers and by far this one failed miserably for its price and what comes with it. 5. Roasted beef Wellington (for2). The front 2 pieces were medium rare and nice but the last 2 pieces were a bit overcooked, medium. Can't fail them signature dishes Chefs!!! The front of the restaurant (bar/ lounge) was nothing spectacular; just a typical bar/ lounge vibe and didn't have that fine feel. As for the food, they certainly failed at many levels and expectations. The seafood tower was a disaster especially 1/2 of the items were a bad replacement. I am still trying to figure out the $185 for 2 chick lobster tails and 1 king crab leg in halves, hmmm.. huh?... huh! As for the beef Wellington, one of the signature dish, half of it was overcooked. It's a signature dish and plus you as chefs get to cut them to see if it was up to standard before serving it. What were you guys in the kitchen hoping? As for the 2 side dishes... no comment! The service was okay, still have a little to learn along the way. The manager did took the seafood tower (Grand plateau) off the bill, I didn't know that until the bill came but I told the waiter that it's okay I'll pay for it. I only wanted to express my concern not asking for free food. He said he'll talk to the manager and came back with the full amount bill added back on (1st restaurant in my experience to add back what's taken off.. lol). I would say rookie move by the waiter or manager or both?? For all those who read my reviews, any food items taken off due to mistakes, I always pay back in full along with the tips. P.S. never add back what's taken off, it's not about the money, it's a sign of sincere gesture and respect even if a customer insist on paying for it. Nevertheless, I paid in full plus 20% tip. Overall, I was hoping for a better experience here than I had at the Ramsay's burger joint especially this place was supposed to be luxurious fine dining according to its mission statement, "Unforgettable Cuisine". I bet Ramsay wanted me to forget this experience then remembering it because it belongs to another episode of his Kitchen Nightmare show. Fine dining is not just about the food but the experience, experience failed! read more

First the service was 5 stars. The food however was less than stellar. For the price you pay you would think you get what you see on their website but take a look at the difference, guess which one is the commercial and what you get. Sides and all were good but super disappointed on the main course as my tomahawk was burnt. read more

My wife and I enjoyed Gordon Ramsay Steak Vancouver last night (Aug 9th) for our 35th anniversary dinner. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. My wife has several severe allergies and Chef Kenzie went above and beyond to ensure she had a fantastic experience. The specially prepared beef wellington and mushrooms were everything we had hoped for and the sticky toffee pudding was the finale to a great evening. The staff were fantastic, introducing themselves by name and truly making us feel welcomed. Thank you all for a memorable experience. read more

We went there for New Year's Eve dinner which was excellent - the service was great and the food was delicious. However, having finished our meal and paid, a manager came up to us and unceremoniously asked us to leave because she wanted to seat someone else! She kept badgering us to leave until we just gave up and left. We reported this incident to another manager on staff, who apologized and gave us a complementary voucher for the trouble. Were it not for this situation, the rating would have merited a 5/5. That's too bad, but the thoughtlessness of this first manager created an adverse view of this restaurant! read more

the food was generally really good, especially the scallops and the mashed potatoes were perfect. i was a bit disappointed with the beef wellington, it was a bit tough and i didn't enjoy the flavour. the service was really good though and ambiance is nice. read more
