Profile

British culinarian and reality-TV despot Gordon Ramsay unveils his first American restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at the London NYC Hotel (formerly the Rihga Royal). Thanks to two seasons on Fox and a characteristically frank autobiography (Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen, from HarperEntertainment), the man’s reputation brashly precedes him. But Ramsay, like many a French-trained, Michelin-obsessed chef before him, would prefer to be known for his food than for his F-word fetish. To that end, he installed trusted lieutenant Neil Ferguson to run the New York show, which comprises an intimate dining room, an adjacent bar, and the hotel’s room service. The $135 “menu prestige,” a seven-course tasting, is available for lunch and dinner (in addition to an $100 prix fixe; another lunch menu costs $45), and features signatures like poached lobster ravioli and cannon of lamb with confit shoulder. — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

Note

You may want to skip dessert and focus your attentions on the “bonbon trolley,” which features excellent chunks of candied honeycomb.

A bit disappointed

Having eaten in GR's restaurants in London, I was disappointed. The decor and the location were excellent. My appetizer, Rabbit with Kidney was excellent - but the main course, Monkfish in consomme with root vegetables, was disappointing. The consomme was salty, and the monkfish was bland at best. Maybe I ordered poorly, but at $100 for 3 courses, there shouldn't be a poor choice on the menu. The cheese board for dessert was pedestrian. My dinner companions were thrilled with Cassoulet of Seafood and Salad of Rabbit Loin starters, and the Ginger Poached Lobster, Loin of Venison and Ballottine of Squab mains. They were unimpressed by the Ice cream pancake with Salted Caramel dessert. The wine steward provided excellent guidance and excellent service. The waitress was also excellent. There were a few minor flaws in the service, where women were served after the gentlemen, but us ladies take no offense. The extras, including the chocolate course, were truly enjoyable. I would return if someone else were paying!

Simply the Best

As Brits we can't comment about other fine dining establishments in NY but on our recent visit we were blown away by the best food we've ever eaten and service which was attentive but unrushed. Our only negative comment is that we found the "Bar at the London" where we had a pre dinner drink pretentious and over priced (dearer even than the View at the Marriott!) On a general note we found the practice of not including sales tax in the quoted price annoying. This is a NY thing and I guess you get used to it but what's wrong with quoting the price you have to pay?
