Wow!
This was the best restaurant experience I had in a very long time - not to say ever.
Almost everything was absolutely perfect. The food, the staff, the wine.
The cheese was unbelievable, every single one of them was perfectly riped.
This is an absolute must, but best take a big wallet

Worth every penny
It's hard to over emphasise just how good this restaurant is. Not just the food and wine, which speaks for itself, but the flawless service, charming front of house and general sense of well being which settles itself on you like a cashmere shawl for the rest of the day.
The secret of extracting this much money so willingly from diners is the way in which every diner is treated as the most important table in the room. Whether you choose the gastronomic heights of the tasting menu at £115, or stick to the astonishingly good value set lunch menu at £40, the attention is just the same. Service is very French - lots and lots of immaculate waiters shimmer up to do everything from taking your order to bringing you the truffle of the day to admire - but you never feel 'bothered', and staff can read tables well. If you want the full flourishing experience, it's yours; if you'd prefer a lower-key meal, you'll barely notice the magical way plates appear and disappear.
And the details! The explosion of flavours in the amuse bouches, the strawberry ice cream chocolates on a cloud of dry ice, the little silver tree of truffles... Admittedly, options on the set menu are limited if you're a veggie, but that's about the only drawback I can think of.
My boyfriend and I reward ourselves with lunch here as often as we can persuade ourselves we really deserve a treat. It might end up costing the same as a cheap European minibreak, after he's had a go on the astonishing winelist, but by the time we leave, Chelsea has taken on a rosy glow that makes us feel as if we ARE abroad. In short: the most expensive place we eat at in London, but the only one that I come out of feeling it's been money well spent.

Still the current best for this type of cuisine even if Mr Ramsey is probably never behind the stoves these days. Good luck to him he knows how to find nurture and develop great chefs and front of house staff.
Ramsey was a great Chef and is now a great restaurateur !
Enough praise though in the world of 3 Michelin stars he has not manged in my humble opinion to reach the heights of MPW in his heyday ( sad to see him promoting Knorr stock cubes) Nico Ladenis or indeed Pierre Koffman's La Tante Claire in the same site.

Well done Gordon
This really is the best restaurant in London. The food here is on another level and the service is flawless. I could talk about the food for hours becaus there wasa so much and all of it perfect. The list begins: pumkin veloute with white truffle, cepe butter and brioche (wow), seared foie gras with carrot puree, sweetbreads & cabernet sauvignon vinegar (wow, wow), seared scallops with octopus carpaccio & parmesan veloute (wow), truffle stuffed turbot fillet with civet sauce (more please), fillet of sea bass with deep-fried oyster, potatoes, broccoli & caviar sauce (delicious), pressed terrine of chicken, foie gras & truffle, the list goes on and on.
I dined with my wife and two friends. Two of us ate one tasting menu and the others had a different one allowing us to consume some 25 or so dishes. I am really struggling to find a way to convey just how good it all was. At times I thought I might be dreaming and had to pinch myself to make sure it was all happening. The balls of strawberry ice-cream coated in white chocolate arrived at the table with dry ice spilling all over the place, adding to my dream theory.
The service was fantastic. They knew all our names and charmed us all night. We even met Mr Ramsay who chatted with us and was very funny. A tour of the immaculate kitchen followed and by the end of the whole experience I was wondering if anything I would eat in the future would ever be that good again.

Perfection
Gordon Ramsay may be on TV a lot nowadays but there is a reason why Michelin gives this restaurant 3 stars. My wife and I had lunch there and the food were cooked to perfection. The best dish of that day? Caramelised Tarte Tatin of apples. It defines the gold standard from which I'll judge all apple tart from this day onward!
The service was so good that I feel bad to leave only the 12.5% tips they put on the bill! We live in the US and I am more than happy to tip 20+% for this kind of great service!
Is 100+ pound a la carte menu a good value? I think so. Just imagine how many Friday night drinking you need to forgo before able to afford one Gordon Ramsay meal! Not that many, really! So treat yourself, at least once a year.

Culinary heaven
My tastebuds are still recovering - perfection on a plate whatever you choose, with service that other restaurants can only dream about. Beautiful room, great people and food that makes it the most spectacular place to eat in the world. Ever. Rob a bank, sell a kidney, do what you must to raise the cash to eat there!

One of the Best Restaurants in the World
I haven't had a chance to eat at the other acclaimed English contender to the crown, "The Fat Duck" at Bray, nor even the usual winner, "El Bulli" in Roses, but I do want to give them both a go at some time. Here's hoping for a lottery win.
However, Ramsay is the best place I have ever eaten - period. I can see why it's got those three little Michelin stars. I went with eight mates for a 40th Birthday treat. We had to have the tasting menu. Eight courses of delight followed! My taste buds have never thanked me so much. The wine list was reasonable too with some good finds for not too much, although there were one or two that I would have needed a second mortgage to even have considered. For the experience and the fact that we were treated like royalty for over four hours, I thought the £160 a head bill was very reasonable. If only I could afford to eat here more often.......
Do yourself a favour and try it, just the once, you will not be disappointed.
