Octopus
Magda C.

Food is very expensive but tasty, high quality and nicely presented. Service was very good.

Clam Soup
Michael C.

I went to Ramsay's Kitchen a few years back for my birthday and they have some delicious food and their service was great. We had a few cocktails, the mussels, clam soup, crispy salmon, beef wellington, baked mac & cheese, truffle fries, sticky toffee pudding, and their version of Baked Alaska. The ones that are outstanding are their cocktails, beef wellington, and the sticky toffee pudding. I was not a big fan on their Baked Alaska.

Potato Gratin

This is a place you come to pay a lot of money to eat not-a-lot, which is not necessarily a bad thing, given with how obese people are. I am having a hard time judging if the rating comes more from my personal background or the actual quality of the food and experience at the Ramsay's Kitchen. It was brunch time and we weren't sure what's the we wanted to eat and we were taking Boston in with a chill vibe. The customer service was attentive and they made a lot of small talk. The interior was really nice. The restroom was quite fancy and pretty. The vibe was pretty chill, it was really not busy. We are somewhat fans of Ramsay and so were curious to try. We ordered the truffle potato gratin, which we really liked but to be honest I haven't had gratin before. The beef Wellington was really good, but it was so little of it. I felt like I barely got a bite or two of it. The lobster roll is fine, we've had much better at other restaurants in New England. We enjoyed our cocktails, but they're not the most memorable. When a waiter asks if you want tap, sparkling, or distilled water, it's a sign that you might pay $9 per bottle of water............. The more you know. We obviously don't come from a background where $9 for a bottle of pellegrino is normal when ordering at a restaurant. Overall I might consider coming here again because the food was good and the menu is varied.

We have wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time but only make it do Boston maybe 2x a year. We took advantage of the Boston Dine Pri Fixe menu during Restaurant Week. We both started with the Lobster Bisque Appetizer and it was amazing, so smooth and flavorful with large chunks of Lobster meat, mainly tail meat. I had the Crispy Skinned Salmon and my wife got the Pasta Dish with Lobster. Both were amazing. Then came the desserts and they were totally decadent. Service was spot on from Bartenders John and Valentina and the GM even came by to chat it up with us and ask how our experience had been so far. We feel this restaurant offers so uniquely prepared dishes that won't break the bank and the service; at least our experience was fantastic.

We decided to treat ourselves, made a reservation, arrived by foot, and quickly seated in a window seat for two. Our server was great, we enjoyed our salads, meal, and dessert. The Caesar Salad was a little heavy on the dressing but was delicious. I probably should have ordered it with dressing on the side. I decided to try the lobster roll which was served cold but was more like room temperature and full of large pieces of lobster. The bread was buttery and toasted perfectly. The filet was cooked medium and was tender and tasty. We would definitely eat here again.

We came here for lunch on a Monday and were seated right away, which was a nice start. We ordered the spicy pomegranate margarita, which was definitely spicy but good. For food, we had the Caesar salad, RK burger, salmon, and a kids' fried chicken sandwich. The Caesar salad was just okay and had too much dressing. The salmon was pretty good, with the sticky rice being the best part of the dish. The burger was also just okay and nothing particularly memorable. The kids' sandwich was a good portion size, though the chicken itself was somewhat bland. One positive is their kids eat free deal Monday through Friday with the purchase of an adult entrée, which is a great perk. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the service, which was extremely slow. It took over 30 to 40 minutes just to get a bowl of ice cream, and both the appetizers and kids' meal took a long time to arrive as well. They did comp the ice cream, which we appreciated, but overall the experience was pretty disappointing.

Desserts
kyle e.

It's worth a try. Ambience is elevated but comfortable. The servers were full of information and friendly/helpful. Beef Wellington and all of the desserts were delicious! I probably wouldn't go for the Lobster Bisque and Steak tartare a 2nd time.

Pancakes

Gordon Ramsay's restaurant was a great dining experience. The broiled branzino was excellent -- perfectly cooked and full of rich flavor. The steak was good, though not quite great. I finally tried the famous Beef Wellington; since it was my first time, I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'd rate it an A. The octopus was also tender and flavorful, a pleasant surprise. The side dishes -- broccolini, salad, and mac and cheese -- were all hits. Breakfast at Gordon Ramsay was just as impressive and a great way to start the day.

Steak Sandwhich
Samantha G.

I rarely rarely fine dine and this was a good experience for me. Sometimes I wonder if the gimmicky-ness of Ramsay owning the restaurant would hinder my experience but I honestly really like it. The octopus was great tender, savory, small but it is an appetizer. Little beef Wellington and Steak Sandwhich were slightly undercooked when I had asked for medium but lucky I'm not picky. Little BW was... underwhelming... it was clear the food was under a hot plate for a bit, the mash potatoes were dry. Fish in chips were good and I liked them, they are basic but the batter was well done and portion was greattttt. The lobster pasta was sorta strange and random but I guess I can't really complain, they tried to spice it up with the ink and it was good, nothing special. The menu itself is kind of all over the place... it's weird. It touches on American (burger) hummus (middleastern), British (fish and chips). All over the place and made the menu not cohesive. We waited a pretty long time, even though we went on a Monday at 1:00pm. We were there for a good two and a half hours, unnecessarily. Our waiter was polite but we did sit around a bit waiting for the bill and she took plates before everyone was done eating. Ok overall I have a lot of negative, but the restaurant was clean, forks were heavy, and food was overall good. Would come back! But maybe not for the Wellington... Als we got the sticky toffee pudding, YUM I SO RECOMMEND

Beef Wellington*
Eric Z.

I'm giving this place 4 stars for its overall experience but I'm going to be honest, I expected a lot more food-wise from my first Gordon Ramsay dining experience! The service was very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, on beautiful Boylston in Boston right in the thick of it. The ambiance was very comfortable. The food came out reasonably quickly and was presented beautifully. For all that, four stars earned. But the food itself left something to be desired. I'll comment on the three things my wife and I tried: 1. Beef Wellington ($44) I got the "petite" beef Wellington which was a lunch portion at $44, which I found out is literally just half of the regular dinner portion which was priced somewhere over $70. I was offered the upgrade to the larger portion but since this was my first time here I opted for the smaller portion in order to test the waters. And I'm glad that I did. The beef itself was cooked nicely, wall-to-wall pink medium-rare. But the filet itself lacked a good sear and it lacked mustard flavor. And maybe it was just my portion, but it didn't come with prosciutto or crepe which are part of Gordon's traditional Wellington recipe (or so at least I thought). The mushroom duxelles was bland and also extremely wet and mushy. The pastry itself was cooked nicely and honestly was the best part of the whole dish. The potato mash was just fine, nothing special just regular mashed potatoes. The demiglace tasted extremely salty and wine-y but wasn't the most flavorful otherwise. As an amateur cook I've made beef Wellingtons by Gordon's own cookbook recipe before multiple times and I gotta say I expected a lot more out of a Ramsay's Kitchen dine-in experience. 2. Squid Ink cavatelli with lobster ($46) This dish was delicious. At $46 it was not cheap for a pasta main but that's what lobster does I guess. The squid ink pasta was delicious and tasted fresh and very al dente just how I like it. The sauce was creamy and unctuous. The lobster meat was not that plentiful, however, and most of the chunks were quite chewy and overcooked. If there were an option to get this same dish without the lobster meat but like $22 cheaper, I honestly would have gone for that. 3. Broccolini side ($12) This was an all-out winner. Did not see that coming from a veggie side dish. Cooked perfectly, nice and crunchy fresh broccolini with a delicious tart chimichurri, fried garlic chips, and pickled red onion. Very nice. For the amount of money we spent, I'd say I honestly wish we had splurged on something a few short steps over at Eataly or something nearby. Perhaps I have to try a different Ramsay location next time but to be honest I was expecting a lot more from this one. It's just kind of confusing, like bostons a big city, you know?

Cannoli espresso martini

Loved the cannoli espresso martini! I asked the bartender if it was also cannoli-flavored (was worried the alcohol might ruin my love for cannolis, if so), but she reassured me that no, it just comes with one as a garnish. I had never had an espresso martini prior to this, so it was a good one to start with. Great ambiance and interior decorating. It was a little confusing to find the bathroom but thankfully my friend had been there before and showed me it's through the hotel next door.

Tuna Tartare*
Jesan A.

Overall, I think this place has decent food. Especially when it comes to lunch and the prix-fixe menu. Otherwise I didn't try the prix-fixe menu. I think it would've offered the classics that you would expect from Gordon and his most famous fare. Previously, I've tried their beef Wellington, which was a bit underwhelming for me, especially as an avid Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and Masterchef watcher. This time around, I tried some of the recommended items from the waiter. The tuna tartare was probably my favorite. The fish and chips were alright. I substitute of the chips with Caesar salad, which was just OK.

Emily T.

Came back to Ramsay's for dine out Boston and it was just as delicious as the first time! Still thinking about those buns and the beef wellington.

Is Monday night or Wednesday night quieter, less busy at Ramsey's Kitchen in Boston? What is the best night of the week for the best possible experience?

Well I was there on a Friday night and the place was not on fire . Atmosphere was nice and the food was amazing . Try to do an early dinner less traffic ...enjoy let me know

Is there a kids menu?

I wish they did, but unfortunately they do not and very limited options for kids. I brought three of my kids there and the bill came out pretty hefty. Some of their dishes are a good size so you can share with a young one (age 9 and below). My… 

Do they still serve beef wellington during lunch?

Hi Alan, we are only serving our Beef Wellington during Dinner Service at this time.

Is there outdoor seating during the warmer months? And is the restaurant wheelchair-accessible?

No there is no outdoor seating and I think it is wheelchair accessible

Is only the Thanksgiving menu available on Thanksgiving day or is the normal dinner menu available as well?

Hi Cathy, Limited a la carte menu items will be available alongside our Thanksgiving dinner menu.

My wife left her purse at the restaurant but nobody ever picks up the phone. I have called numerous times. What do I do?

Hi David, email your contact information to guestrelations@grna.com and we connect with the restaurant team to get your wife’s purse back!

How do I confirm my reservation? No one answers the phone and the contact page on the website does not submit because you need an event date, the event date does not take no matter what date I use.

Do yourself a favor. Don't bother. Food was mediocre

What do I do if I lost the email confirmation for reservation and how do I reply to you with my name and email address, when I can't return an answer?

Hi Kimberly, I can resend that to you, can you give me the name on the reservation?

If a reservation is for 9:45 and the restaurant closes at 10, will be still be served the full menu?

Hi Caroline, yes, you will be able to order off the entire dinner menu at your reservation time. We look forward to seeing you!

Is there free parking?

No. There is valet at the hotel, cost me $32 + tip on a Sunday lunch. There is limited on street meter parking and other garage parking options.

Can I order beef Wellington for lunch? Do I need to make reservation for the beef Wellington?

No. It's on they menu . But order as soon as You can and let them know that you are needing to leave at a certain time.

Kid friendly 4 year old and 13 year old?

Absolutely! We look forward to seeing you and your family!

Is there a dress code for lunch?

No dress code. Saw someone there in a hoodie and someone in a suit

Would it be ok to book a reservation for just myself?

Of course!

What time does the lunch menu start?

The lunch menu is served from 11 am to 4 pm!

How strict is dress code?

I would say there is no dress code. We wore jeans. It didn't seem like a so sophisticated environment when a dog wouldn't stop barking. Then the lady took it out her bag to calm it down and to take pictures with it. Weird to let a dog in the… 

Does the restaurant offer accommodations, specifically a dedicated fryer for guests that are allergic to gluten, dairy, seeds and nuts?

I would assume no. Our vegetarian was warned the French fries are done in the same fryer as the meat. So there is definitely cross-contamination.

Is the full menu available at the bar or is there a bar menu?

Yes very much so!!

Is the meat halal?

Hi Naadiya, At this time, none of the meat we serve at Ramsay’s Kitchen is halal.

Do I need a reservation or do they take walk ins?

During lunch you can walk into the bar side if early enough besides that online reservations early in the week and day better alot of their nights are now fully booked for a few months

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!
