Sticky toffee pudding in SoCal? Yes please. We came here strictly for dessert as we have loved the sticky toffee pudding since we first tried it in Vegas. The dessert itself did not disappoint. It was delicious and we would order it every time. The restaurant itself was very busy, understandably so because this location is at Downtown Disney. We went on a Saturday night. We had a reservation for 7:30 PM that we were able to make the night before due to a cancellation. We checked in around 7:25 PM and got seated at approximately 8:10 PM. The people working the host stand were incredibly nice and kindly apologized for the wait as we got seated. All the seating is upstairs, which can be accessed via stairs or elevator. Bar seating is available too (looked like mostly high tops), and the bar looked really nice. There was tableside "trolley" (we didn't get but thought it was cool!). We did notice a dirty fork when we sat down and let the waiter know, who then quickly helped us get it replaced. Anaheim gets a bit toasty in the summer so we requested indoor seating in the notes while making our reservation. When we were initially going to get seated, we were directed to an outdoor table. We reminded our host about our request and asked if it was possible to get an indoor table (we were willing to wait), and they quickly redirected us to an inside table that was just cleaned. I echo a different Yelp review that asked for the formal option on OpenTable to indicate whether we want indoor or outdoor seating. They do validate parking for those who need it. read more

Disappointing - Twice. My initial experience was likely a product of their soft opening - some cold food and missed expectations (I was on my own). I was graciously invited back to let them 'try again' which I convinced the others in my party for that evening to come along with (we had reservations at Napa Rose but ate there the night before). The second visit was an improvement - the sides were actually hot and overall, the night went as planned. We ordered the curry, the Prime Rib, The Welly, and a fish dish that never actually was delivered (come to think of it - - I think I may have been charged for that as well - this now just dawning on me). The Prime Rib - pomp and circumstance aside, it was pretty flat on flavor - thicker than most 'theme park' prime ribs but it lacked any real depth and was a bit tough (we left half of it on the plate). The curry was fairly basic and generally not worth ordering - we left over half that on the plate as well (we were doing something of a 'family style' at this point). The Beef Wellington was at least slightly above room temp (which is expected), even if overcooked somewhat - which made it more difficult to eat (but we were pretty starving and easily made quick work of it). I think the main issue is the duxelles was not adequate or evenly distributed and the pastry was a bit of a soggy claggy mess. Sides were excellent - all of them - and for apps, we really enjoyed the pea guac. The parker house rolls were great (as per usual) - the squid was so over fried it was like chewing a dog toy (don't ask). The fish.... we never received and I'm fine with that. SERVICE was immaculate. These people deserve so much more from back of house (yes - I have many years on the line and out front). I appreciate the manager arranging for me to 're-try' the wellington and prime rib (for what that's worth). Everything just felt entirely overpriced (yes we paid for it). Overall, don't bother - just head to Carthy Circle (Lounge is amazing too btw). read more

I, like many other people, am a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay's shows. My wife and I watch Hell's Kitchen every year, along with MasterChef, Kitchen Nightmares, and basically anything else he puts out. We previously visited Hell's Kitchen near San Diego, and it was just okay. Since then, I never really felt the need to try another Gordon Ramsay chain restaurant. When we heard Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby was opening at Downtown Disney, though, we decided we had to check it out since we are OC locals. Getting a reservation felt next to impossible. Then, once we finally got inside, three different staff members asked if we had been there before. I thought that was pretty funny considering the restaurant had just opened and getting a reservation in August felt like winning the lottery I did not come in with insanely high expectations, and long story short, it was also just okay. Better than Hell's Kitchen, I will say, but still nothing crazy, especially for the price. The best parts of the experience were the people watching, the service, and the bread. Our server Phil was easily a standout. He walked us through the menu, recommended drinks and dishes, and talked about how much he enjoys working there. He genuinely made the experience better. We started with the bread, which was phenomenal. It was everything you want from bread: soft, salty, buttery, and basically perfect. Unfortunately, it was also $14. When the paid bread is the highlight of the meal, I feel like that says both something really good about the bread and something not so great about the rest. We tried a few cocktails, and they were pretty good, but at more than $20 each, none of them completely blew me away. For our mains, my wife ordered the fish and chips, and I got the branzino. We passed on the beef Wellington because it was $84 and we have already tried Gordon Ramsay's version before, so it really didn't seem worth it. The fish and chips were actually pretty good. The piece of fish was huge and the breading was done well, but both the fish and fries felt like they needed more seasoning and flavor. The branzino was fine. There was nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it was about what you would expect from branzino, just at a much higher price. We finished with the iconic sticky toffee pudding. It was a tad too sweet for me, but still solid overall. I wanted to note that this was the only reason we came to Downtown Disney, so we had to go through security and still pay for parking even after validation. When the security guard asked where we were going and I told him, he immediately said the restaurant had mixed reviews and that a lot of people told him they did not like it. A very strange thing to hear about a brand new Gordon Ramsay restaurant before you even walk through the door, but, it is Disney afterall. I do not want to sound like we had a terrible time, because we did not. The service was great, the drinks were good, the bread was incredible, and we enjoyed the people-watching. But for all the hype, and for the insane prices, "just good" seemed like a let down. Overall, Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby is a 3.5/5 for me. I am glad we tried it once, but we will probably not be back. read more

We were so excited to try this new restaurant and unfortunately our visit was very disappointing. As we walked in the hostess checked us in and after 15 min we were taken upstairs, she talked about the restaurant and decor, super friendly. We got seated and our server came over and he took our drink order. We got our sparkling water, lemonades, Shirley Temple and his recommendation a pineapple jalapeno margarita. Drinks came out fast and our food orders were placed. Our cesar salad was out super fast, and that was the end of the speedy service. After finishing the salad, we waited for our dishes and nothing was insight. So we flagged our server and asked to add the parker rolls since my nieces were super hungry. 20 min later we got the rolls. Delicious and fluffy. After waiting over an hour and a half, I flagged our server and we asked about the food. He assured us it was almost out. 15 min later I asked for the manager and explained the situation. She was shocked to hear that we had waited for that long and she was going to check on the food right away. She came back and her answer was shocking " the food should be right out and just so you know an hour and a half is about the right wait time as this is an experience". Yes, a horrible waiting experience!! I've been to Hell's kitchen in Vegas and that was an excellent experience! After all that wait the food was bland, and portions were meh, definitely not worth the price. There are many other options at downtown Disney, save yourself the disappointment. read more

The food was ok, we got the bread, wings and salad. But let's talk about the reservations. Please put an option for indoor and outdoor when you book online . We had a reservation and they put us outside but people who were walk ins were getting sat inside at the bar area which is utter B..when it's 95 degrees outside and we made a reservation. Also there was no soap in the women's bathroom and a kitchen employee just wet her hands and left... read more

This is reservations only!! I was not aware until we went to the host. However, bar seating is not reserved so it's first come first serve. We were lucky to be sat asap after we acknowledged how the restaurant works. Every service member was nice and the bartender Eddy was really cool. He gave us plenty of time to order, made suggestions, and answered all questions. As an appetizer, I tried out the Parker Rolls. Butter is served on the side. These rolls were delicious. They were light and the top of the rolls have a nice crisp to them. The seasoning also gave a nice salty taste. Would definitely recommend for 1st timers. As my entree I ordered the Roasted Norwegian Salmon. Reading the description I was hesitant to try it out since ratatouille is a hit or miss for me for certain dishes from other places I've dined at (the ratatouille is underneath the salmon in the pic) The saffron beurre blanc was fragrant and there's even more sauce to pour on it after if you prefer. The skin on the salmon was perfectly cooked read more

The Carnaby is Gordon Ramsay's most recent venture and the latest in additions of restaurants to the rapidly expanding Downtown Disney district. Though they have only been open for a couple weeks, reservations are booked solid until November... except for me, who managed to snag a last minute reservation through OpenTable.  We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and were greeted by a group of hostesses wearing red dresses and white stockings. They were so nice and even took pictures and videos for us while we waited for our table to be set up.  The restaurant had a whimsical fine dining atmosphere, having elegant elements such as a gorgeous bar while incorporating colorful pop art motifs and references to UK legends such as The Beatles. Although the dining area was a bit compact, we had a balcony view of the bustling district below and the fireworks show.  Our server was Joanna, who was such a sweetheart. She kept checking in on us and made sure we had a lovely time. I started with a cocktail from the bar - the Spirulina Negroni. It was lighter than I was expecting, which was good. On the nose, citrus. And on the palate, floral with notes of cherry from the Luxardo liqueur. The drink was a lovely shade of lavender from the Empress gin and was beautifully clear.  The menu featured some of Gordon's most iconic dishes such as the beef wellington and sticky toffee pudding, but also had some items unique to The Carnaby. One of these items was the Carnaby Nachos, which we shared as our appetizer. The short rib was tender, and I liked the hint of spice from the pickled peppers. But overall, I thought that the dish was a bit mellow. For my entree, I got the beef wellington. The wellington was served with a red wine demi glace sauce, poured tableside by our server. The center was a perfect, even ruby red, and the tenderloin was incredibly soft. But I would have liked it if the sauce was a little less salty, especially considering the generous amount of flaky salt sprinkled on top. The potato puree was also a bit lackluster to me. I've had this dish a couple times before at Gordon's Vegas locations such as Hell's Kitchen and Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, and I must say I prefer it there. My sister got the 12 oz USDA prime rib, which was served via cart. Jasmine gave us excellent service here. She was gracious enough to wait for my sister to come back from the restroom before beginning the presentation. The prime rib comes with all the accompaniments of a Sunday roast: creamed spinach, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, and roasted carrots. The prime rib was drizzled with a generous ladle of au jus and served with a side of horseradish. The prime rib was phenomenal, but lowkey, my favorite part of the feast was the creamed spinach! The spinach was so decadent that it shouldn't even be classified as a vegetable anymore and topped with delicious crispy shallots.  And of course, we couldn't leave one of Gordon's restaurants without having his famous sticky toffee pudding, topped with vanilla ice cream and a warm toffee sauce. My spoon glided through with no distinction - the cake was as soft as the ice cream. The sauce was rich, buttery, heavily caramelized, and decadent. You don't need teeth to eat this dessert because the entire thing will melt in your mouth. Whatever you do here, do not skip dessert.I've always been a fan of Gordon Ramsay and his restaurants, so I was delighted to hear that he was opening up The Carnaby so close to my home. We had a great time at The Carnaby and will come back again in the future. read more

Was able to snag a 9:30pm reservation! Checked in and was called up right on time. We were seated by the window and had a great view of the fireworks. Restaurant was full and busy. Service was friendly and attentive through all staff. Enjoyed the aesthetic and atmosphere of the place. Ordered: 2x wagyu burgers, sticky toffee pudding, & chocolate tart for $87. Burger was a little overcooked but we were overall pretty happy with everything. This is the 3rd GR restaurant we've been to and the standard is pretty consistent. The prime rib looked to be the most ordered dish, I look forward to returning to try! read more

Gordon Ramsay's newest restaurant has opened in Downtown Disney and it's a groovy place! Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby is currently accepting reservations and is booked out through the end of the year. I secured 8:30 dinner reservations for my birthday on the first day OpenTable reservations were available. While they are reservations only, the bar area is open to walk-ins, but let's be clear, the bar area has limited seating. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation to check in and the hostess informed us that our table would not be ready until our reservation time. No matter, we did a little walk around DTD. We checked in a second time to let them know we were in the lobby. We were led upstairs and took the elevator. Our table was on the second outdoor patio to the back and I had a view of the bar. The patio is covered and we had a nice breeze blow through during dinner. Our server was Phil and he was great! He wished me a "Happy Birthday" and took our orders. We ordered plain tap water along with a hazy IPA ($14) and the Passion Fruit Royale ($23) to start. For our meal, we chose to split the Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips ($38) as the appetizer, the Beef Wellington ($73) as the main, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding ($15) for dessert. First off, it was a little windy on the patio, so the passion fruit bubble kept popping. We got it though and the drink was quite tart and refreshing. I loved the fresh passion fruit forward cocktail. The fish & chips were brought out with malt vinegar and the giant fish was perfectly crisp with hot flaky cod inside. The mushy peas are mixed with mint and was a nice palette cleanser. The Beef Wellington definitely lived up to its hype, as it was tender with perfectly pink beef wrapped inside a layer of mushrooms and pastry dough. It is served with a Demi-glace sauce which is poured onto the plate with flourish. We did notice that our server did not actually ask the level of doneness for our Wellington. It was served medium rare, which is what we prefer. Just be aware if they do not ask and do not be surprised when you get a perfectly pink medium rare piece of beef in front of you. Our dessert came out with a small "Happy Birthday" stamped chocolate piece on top of the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The date cake is topped with vanilla flecked ice cream. They pour the warm caramel sauce over it at the table. It was hands down one of the best Sticky Toffee puddings that I've ever tried. I would come back for this dessert! In fact, I'm telling you that you should order it when you dine there. We cannot wait to go back to try more items on the menu. Our server did ask if we were passholders. Why yes sir, I have a pass. We were given a 10% discount for Magic Key. Our meal was delicious and while they did not take the gift card I had, we paid the bill. My birthday meal was memorable and one of the nicer dining experiences at Downtown Disney. We will be back to try other items on the menu. 5 stars. read more

GROOVY, baby... YEAH! Love the 60's London decor. Simply phenomenal on all accounts. Went for lunch and had the Fish & Chips. Cooked to perfection but just slightly under seasoned... slightly, I say. All of the appetizers were fantastic - the Pea-guacamole, Rolls, and Wings. I WILL be back for the Beef Wellington and many of the other items. What a tremendous addition to Downtown Disney. GO HERE! read more

I was so happy to have a Gordon Ramsay restaurant open in SoCal! I've always gone to the Vegas locations, so I was excited to try this one. It's conveniently located right by the Downtown Disney parking lot and Din Tai Fung. They only take reservations, so no walk-ins at the moment. For starters, we ordered the Parker Rolls and Salt & Pepper Squid. For my main, I got the Beef Wellington, and we finished with the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Unfortunately, the Wellington was a bit disappointing. I first had it in Vegas, where the filet practically melted in my mouth, and the puff pastry was perfectly flaky. Here, the puff pastry was softer and a little soggy. The Salt & Pepper Squid was really good, and I'd definitely get it again. The Parker Rolls were fluffy and good, but nothing too memorable, so I'd probably skip them next time. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was definitely the highlight. It was warm and moist, and the ice cream paired perfectly with it. The service was amazing and definitely made the experience better. Doug was so funny, kind, and welcoming, and he went into detail explaining everything to us. Great hospitality all around! Overall, not a bad spot to try, especially if you're a Gordon Ramsay fan. I'd come back for the squid and Sticky Toffee Pudding! read more

TL;DR a mix of classic British fare, upgraded British classics, and modern renditions from the mind of British chefs; no real misses and some definite stars (beef Wellington and sticky toffee pudding im looking at you). The drinks are better than the food but the food is great! Smaller portions mean you can pick and choose a few things and enjoy some amazing cocktails. Welcome to the Disneyland Resort, Chef Ramsey. He's come in with a bang(ers and mash)! The place Right at the entrance to downtown Disney district is the top story restaurant overlooking the stage. The ambience is an homage to all things British music, complete with deep greens and colorful mosaic murals. Lots of style with a gastorpub feel. The layout is a little weird as the pass shares the same walkway as the main entrance for guests so traffic flow is an issue but only for entering/exiting the restaurant. Luckily you'll probably want to be seated for most of your stay as there is a LOT to take in. Service is attentive and expedient, zero complaints. Pricing is heavy but it's a "resort" destination so what are we gonna do? Ambience 6/10 (knocked off a point for layout) Service 9/10 Value 5/10 The food and drink The menu feels like the elevated bar food from the 2010's and I mean that in the most complimentary way. Dishes range from modern takes on classics, British classics done perfectly well, and what they call "bridge" dishes - British foods done in a California style. I liked everything and LOVED some dishes! Salt and pepper shrimp (App) Literally just a Chinese restaurant staple but their riff off of calamari. Savory, salty, peppery without being spicy. The CA twist of serving with lime-cilantro aioli is nice though. Latin and Asian flavors always pair nicely! It is prepped very well, with tender meat and a light but crispy finish. Perfect finger food to start the meal. 7/10 Pea guacamole (App) I'm starting to think Gordon Ramsey thinks California is 50% Asian and 50% Mexican because this bridge dish is also fusion of those two but unlike the squid the guacamole has a distinct British inspiration. Green peas are the base of this dip and the flavor is highlighted quite well. The sweetness, herbaciousness, and brightness of the peas is preserved and put right in the middle of everything. The spring onion oil and, cilantro, garlic, are all in small amounts to complement but not overtake any of the pea's flavor. Similarly, the shrimp crackers are lighter than a tortilla chip but add a needed savory note which adds yet another complement to the dip. I love the whole thought process behind this one. It's light, fun, shareable, new, and well executed! 9/10 Gouda Mac n Cheese (Side) Perfectly serviceable Mac n cheese. Cavatappi is a great choice for cheese soakage while also standing up to the broiler. Great cook, noticeable smoky flavor, and a thicker sauce. If you like creamy smooth this wont be your favorite but I'm a fan of all Mac styles. 6/10 Beef Wellington (Main) If you've been to a Ramsey restaurant you've probably seen it but I've been to HK and it was soggy and overcooked. This one is much better! A perfect mid-rare tenderloin, and well insulated pastry cover. The duxelle is savory and tastes distinctly of thyme. To me, the real star here is texture: crisp exterior on the pastry gives way to a hearty chew, the duxelle is a smooth puree, and the steak is tender enough for a butter knife. The Demi is textbook with a meaty and deep red wine flavor. 8/10 Cottage pie (main) Another elevated classic. Very hearty and heavy but not stodgy. Luckily the potato is well prepped and airy, if it was not as well executed this could have been an anchor of a dish. The short rib is fork tender and well seasoned and the vegetables are a perfect garnish. 7/10 Chickpea tikka (Main) The one miss of the night. A basic tikka masala served with saffron basmati and plain naan. Just not a very exciting flavor profile, a little too flat. Sweet tomato and dairy come through, reminiscent of takeaway. The real issue is that it comes out like warm which may be to prevent curdling of dairy but I would've liked some spice or pickles to pick up the flavor and a little hotter temp. Decent vegetarian option though. 5/10 Sticky toffee pudding (Dessert) This is the best thing at HK, and it's unchanged for downtown Disney. A perfect dessert. Moist, earthy, and well flavored with dates. These are important flavor notes because it. Is. SWEET. A wonderful dessert for anybody looking to scratch the sugar itch. 9/10. read more

I've been trying to get a reservation here since they opened about a month ago and I was lucky I got a late night reservation. The first time I've ever tried beef wellington and it just had to be Gordon Ramsay's recipe and now idk if any other beef wellington can satisfy this craving. The meat was so tender, the pastry puff was just enough and the sauce was amazing!! The Gouda Mac and cheese was recommended by the hostess so I had to try. I thought it was good but open to trying other appetizer options. The sticky toffee pudding was the popular dessert option so I also had to try that. I'm not usually a fan of cake or bread textures but glad this wasn't too cakey. It was the perfect amount to share with another person. I would definitely come back. The only reason I gave this place 4/5 stars is because I was charged for two additional items that I never ordered and didn't realize until the day after. read more

We decided to make a reservation here when we went to Disneyland because it is so close to the parks and the only reservation that we could get was at 8:45 at night. Unfortunately the service wasn't as great as we would've liked it to be our waiter, barely came by And mainly decided to check on the other tables surrounding us versus us. There was a employee there named Phil and he was the one that actually went in the kitchen and grabbed our food after we had been waiting for so long he was super sweet. The food to me was just OK for the price. The ambience was really nice. It seemed really clean but for having a reservation, we had to sit at a high top in front of the bar, instead of in the main dining area, which I was not a fan of, but it had been a very long travel day and unfortunately, I did not want to try and wait for a table that would've been in the main dining area. Overall, we might come back to try something else on the menu but for the dinner that we did have to me my entrée lacked. The appetizer was really good. My husband really liked his beef Wellington, but unfortunately, with the waiter that we had that kind of killed the vibe a bit. read more

Gordon Ramsey at Downtown Disney?! That's so crazy!!! Came in opening week to check it out! I made reservations for 5 on open table the morning it went live and was able to get a reservation no problem. When I got there, we asked the hostess outside with red short hair if we will get seated in a 6 top table and if so, if we can make the reservation for 6 instead. she was incredibly insistent that we were seated at a 5 top and the reservation would only be for 5 saying they were completely booked. we accepted our fate and entered as a group of 5. once we got through the doors, the hostess at the front indoors, Ashley, checked us in. it turns out we were getting seated in 6 top table (who has 5 tops? but anyway) and i asked Ashley if we can add a 6th person and she said yes no problem! Not sure what the issue was with the first hostess but thank god for Ashley! She was so kind! Everything was pretty good! The beef welly isn't AS good as Gordon Ramsey Steak in my opinion but the meat was still cooked to perfection. Maybe it was the glaze that was too sour? Wagyu burger was BOMB! I actually preferred it. The mac and cheese was yummy and the rolls were okay. if you only get ONE thing, get the sticky toffee pudding. That was DELICIOUS! The fish and chips were also yummy! Ok giving it only 4 stars because the drinks were ALL subpar and we tried 5 different drinks!! I don't know if it was a bad night or what but they were all bad it makes me sad. Also service was hit and miss? not enough to dock another star but definitely encountered some not so great attitudes, it was a bummer! Still gonna go again just for the sticky toffee pudding? Gonna update this when I go back! read more

Having no luck securing a reservation earlier in the week, we took a chance and walked in to see if they had any open resv. Unfortunately, they did not and they just told us to continue checking on open table. At around 4:30pm, we checked just for kicks and a 6pm same day resy popped up do we immediately booked it! Friendly staff. For appetizers, we got the parker rolls, tomato burrata salad and pea guacamole with shrimp chips. Entrees - we picked beef wellington and prime rib. And finished off with the sticky toffee dessert! Delicious meal. Appetizers came out super quick but took some time to get our main course. Will certainly return to try other items on the menu! read more

We were lucky enough to snatch reservations! Came here to celebrate our anniversary & ordered the Parker rolls, beef Wellington, Wagyu burger & the sticky toffee pudding. The Parker rolls were really the star of the show. We were shocked how soft and delicious the bread was. It was very addicting to eat. My husband got the beef Wellington & it was a very generous serving! I thoroughly enjoyed my Wagyu burger, it had a nice truffle flavor and I loved the fries that came with it. read more

Finally got to try The Carnaby by Gordon Ramsay at Downtown Disney, and once I actually got inside, the experience lived up to the hype! Since it's still fairly new, reservations have been tough to get. I had previously tried walking in and was turned away, and unfortunately the hostess experience wasn't the warmest. Luckily, on Saturday I was finally able to snag seating at the bar -- and from that point forward, the service was impeccable. Carlos, my server/bartender, was fantastic. He patiently walked me through the menu, gave great recommendations, and you could tell he took pride in every cocktail he made. The salted caramel espresso martini was absolutely delicious and a must-try. The star was easily the Beef Wellington. It was baked beautifully, and the beef inside was a perfect medium rare -- incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful. The calamari was another winner: lightly fried, not greasy at all, with an amazing sauce. I finished with the sticky toffee pudding, which was good and had a really fun presentation. The atmosphere is a cool mix of casual and elevated, with a 1960s British theme and plenty of oldies playing, while the food itself feels much more upscale. It is definitely pricey, but there are also options like the Wagyu burger that are competitively priced compared with other Downtown Disney restaurants. Overall, The Carnaby is absolutely worth trying, especially for the Wellington and cocktails. Getting in may require some patience while the initial buzz is still high, but once seated, the food and service made for a memorable experience. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the tableside prime rib -- those huge 12 oz portions looked incredible! read more

Our friends booked this place months ago, and it was our first time at a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. The whole dining experience was phenomenal. The staff: professional and kind. The upstairs patio dining overlooking Downtown Disney enhanced the experience. The food... oh my gosh it was delicious! My wife had the fish and chips. Appropriately portioned with a side of fries and amazing tartar sauce. I went with the wagyu burger. For my money, the best wagyu burger I've ever had in my life. The thick cut bacon and aioli took my mouth to Flavor Town. For dessert, my wife and I split the Oreo cheesecake and our friends ordered sticky toffee pudding. I can't speak for the pudding, but our cheesecake was the bomb. It wasn't overly sweet or rich, just perfectly balanced. In order to get a table here, you have to book months in advance, but it is so worth the wait. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby - Wagyu Burger - British Near Me - Anaheim, California

Was super excited to try chef Ramsay's popular dishes and was left pretty disappointed by most of it. The food was underwhelming, overrated and overpriced. I understand paying for the experience but even the service felt a bit lackluster. Dress code was casual and definitely felt the "gastropub" environment with the interior design. Here is my breakdown: 1. Cottage Pie: overpowering potatoes, the broiled top crust was the peak of the dish. The braised beef inside was dry and overcooked. 2. Smoked gouda: Not sure if this is from Chef Ramsey or the Carnaby, but disappointed either way. Bland, not much flavor, especially considering it's smoked gouda, would like to see more flavor. 3. Salt and Pepper Squid: delicious by itself but not with the sauce. Becomes a bit overpowering and salty and does not complement well. 4. Wellington: Great with the demi glaze (not pictured). The crust was softer than expected, and excess amount of mushrooms inside the Wellington. Beef was cooked well but I am not sure what the hype is about. Willing to retry another day 5. Sticky Toffee Pudding: the best item on the menu. Ordered 3! Date cake to caramel/toffee syrup was phenomenal and the vanilla bean ice cream was the perfect addition. Unforgettable, and delicious! Overall very underwhelming experience and makes me more hesitant to try more of his restaurants because it feels more like its just the hype now. read more

The irony of this experience is that it could have been an episode of Gordon Ramsay's very own Kitchen Nightmares. Upon entering, there was no hostess at the hostess station so I walked up the stairs to find 3 empty stools at the bar for 2 of us. The bartender subsequently asked me if I was ready to order, at which point I asked for a menu. He sarcastically told me I didn't get a menu because I needed to see the hostess to be seated, even at the bar. So, back downstairs I went, only to but put on a wait list. Twenty minutes later, the hostess returned us to the same exact unoccupied bar stools. We then began discussing the menu, at which point the same bartender who sent me downstairs arrogantly expressed, "I'm pretty well versed with the menu." Despite his bad attitude, which I endured twice at this point, we decided to stay. We ordered a bottle of wine and two entrees. The bartender informed us a manager was grabbing our wine. Twenty minutes later, still no wine. By this point, I had been inside the restaurant for 50 minutes and still had nothing to drink. Meanwhile, two separate managers in suits were attending to a single serve espresso machine behind the bar instead of getting our wine. At this stage, I lost patience and we walked out and went somewhere else. Gordon would not be impressed. read more

This was quite the experience. Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby transports you to the famous entertainment district of London with interior decoration and props that compliment the feel of the environment. Upon entering, you will be greeted by the receptionist that will give you the option of taking the elevator or the stairs up to the second floor as the dining area will be up one level. And of course we took the elevator to get the sliding door effect presentation. The first thing you will see is their bar with a wide variety of spirits and very warm lighting to enhance the experience. To your left is where you will be seated. There's indoor seating and 2 different patio seatings. We had the one that overlooked the entertainment park and just in time for the fireworks! But let's move onto the entrees. FOOD Beef Wellington Now, the only Beef Wellington's that I've had in my life were served in bite size for a wedding that I attended. That already capture my taste buds so definitely had to order this entree. It's everything that I expected. The presentation. The flavor. The consistency. I think this is the center stage dish in my books which makes sense that it's the first entree you see on the mains. If you've already made it this far, don't let the price scare you. You're paying for quality and the Beef Wellington lives up to it's name. Absolutely ordering this again on my next visit. Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips Personally not a fan of Fish and Chips in general. It's only good after a long night of drinking. But this was prepared differently. Let me start off with the fries(chips). Consuming them alone, already has a taste of their own. I don't think I've had any fries this delicious without having to dip them in ketchup in my entire life. Perfect crisp and flavor. For the sides, there's smashed peas which were delightful but not my cup of tea. Then you have the tartar sauce. This takes the cake for me, the highlight of the night. I'm not entirely sure how it was prepared or what ingredients were used but that was the BEST tartar sauce I've ever had in my life. Probably the only reason why I'd enjoy Fish and Chips haha. And now for the fish. It's not your traditional strips of cut battered fish but one large Haddock fish. Highly enjoyable and not so oily like most. For one who doesn't enjoy Fish & Chips as much, I would definitely order this entree again. Charred Broccolini This was a nice cleansing dish. The sauce was absolutely delicious. I don't exactly know what it is but it paired extremely well with the broccolini. I also think this would be great in pasta! If you're a broccoli fan, I advise on ordering this side! OVERALL If you're thinking of dining, you'll need to make a reservation. It's best to check on their site to see what's open for the week or month. We had to book a few weeks in advance to get a 9:45pm slot but it makes sense as it's a new restaurant in Downtown Disney. The entire team was very helpful, super friendly and wanted to give a big shoutout to Rosie and Justin for being attentive ensuring our experience was up to par. Big thanks to the team of Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby in Downtown Disney! Already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Got lucky and got last minute reservations for the Downtown Disney location.. Dinner before the fireworks show.. once you walk in you ate transported to SoHo in London.. i love the decor, it was done right. There were 4 of us so we tried different plates and shared family style. Portions were pretty decent and the food was good. More than other entrees.. i love that DTD brought Gordon Ramsay's restaurant.. read more

I was beyond hyped for this place seeing as I am a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay and have been to Hell's Kitchen in Vegas. Though the nachos were quite appetizing and flavorful, the main entrees were a bit disappointing. I ordered the beef Wellington which seemed smaller than their Vegas counterpart. Not sure what else it was missing but it lacked the magic and flavor I tasted of the one at Hell's Kitchen. It was a bit bland and disappointing given the price point and the fact that it was meant to be their signature dish. My wife got the fish and chips which proved to be alright, but nothing special. Fries were ordinary. The service was good but it was super slow. Took like 2 hours total to get all our food and check out. However in the girls bathroom they ran out of paper towels and the soap dispenser wasn't working. For a fancy restaurant, I honestly expected more and was truly disappointed. I imagine Gordon Ramsay would be too if he saw what I saw and ate what I ate. read more

Thank you Damien & James!! Wonderful experience! Lunch in the bar, Fish & Chips and a couple of drinks. Damien's whiskey, and Earl Grey tea was good but the Gordon Ramsay old-fashioned was very nice. I recommend going for lunch. Bar seating, very attentive. Service & food was on point, couldn't have been better. Didn't have room for the sticky toffee pudding, need to return for that. I wouldn't hesitate to go back as soon as possible. read more

Food was delicious. I definitely recommend the prime rib and the cocktails. Go ask for Garrett! He made the best drinks and gave the most genuine service which is really refreshing. The hosts gave off mean girls vibes. They weren't inviting or looked happy at all. Not sure if I will come back but definitely a great dinner option if u want prime rib. read more

FOOD: The cottage pie ($38)--order it! It's so delicious and hearty. It's very filling with tender, braised short rib filling. The beef Wellington ($73)--skip it! Seriously, skip it! We made a reservation because we wanted to try the beef Wellington as it's not an easy-to-find dish in Southern California and know it as Gordon Ramsay's signature dish. The puff pastry was soggy. The mushroom duxelles was way too wet, under-seasoned and plentiful which left it as the most dominant taste in the dish. It was so earthy that it bordered on tasting muddy. The red wine demi-glace wasn't good. I thought in the least we could pour it over the dish and help improve the flavor but found myself avoiding it. The potato puree was dry and more like mashed potato than a puree. The "herb salad" tasted mostly of parsley and really should just be left off the description of the dish because it was like an afterthought that didn't work. I satisfied my curiosity over Ramsay's take on beef Wellington and won't ever try it again if this is what it tastes like. Grilled broccolini ($14)--a delicious side though the lemon vinaigrette didn't taste of lemon and was more like a hollandaise in its viscosity than a vinaigrette. Whether or not this was what was intended, it was a tasty side to have with our heavy meal. Lychee colada--I didn't personally try it but was told it was refreshing and didn't taste strongly of alcohol though its effect was later felt at the end of dinner. They have several non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu, also. I wanted to try the sticky toffee pudding for dessert because I love me a good one but was too full and honestly disappointed with the impression the beef Wellington had left. SERVICE: You check in at the entrance and seating is upstairs (accessible by elevator or staircase). Our waiter Kyle was fantastic. PARKING VALIDATION: For Simba lot, the check-in desk downstairs can validate for you but ours didn't go through when I returned to the lot which was annoying. Instead of walking all the way back to the restaurant and risking it not going through again, there is a Disney employee sitting by the pay stations for the Simba lot who can look at a receipt and validate for you so be sure to get a receipt if you need parking validation for any money spent at Downtown Disney (because some businesses will ask if you need a receipt and if you say no...) LOCATION & PARKING: Next door/upstairs from Earl of Sandwich and nearest restaurant to security checkpoint walking in from the Simba parking lot ($10 for first hour and restaurant table service includes 5 extra hours of parking for free). Make sure you get validated if you eat here so you can park for up to 6 hours for $10. read more

We will definitely be coming back. Don't skip the Sticky toffee pudding. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The service was excellent, our food was perfectly prepared. My husband had the salmon and I had the cottage pie. Both were exactly what we expected. Full of flavor, great texture and presentation was on point. We have been to several of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants, including some of the Hells Kitchen winners. So it was hard not to compare. This is an upgrade to casual dining, perfect for a Disney date night. The shepherd's pie came highly recommend by our hostess and our waitress. It did not disappoint. The short rib was so tender. The portion was generous. I couldn't finish my entire meal and even the next day reheated it was delicious. read more

With all the buzz surrounding Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby, in Downtown Disney, I was excited to snag a solo reservation through OpenTable on a Wednesday evening. I was seated at the bar, which ended up being a great spot to take in the restaurant's lively atmosphere. I started with the Cherry Baby cocktail. It arrived topped with dragon fruit bubbles, making for a fun presentation. Unfortunately, the bubbles quickly overflowed the rim of the glass, leaving the outside sticky and making the drink a little messy to handle. For my first bite, I ordered the Salt & Pepper Squid. If you're expecting something unique, it's essentially fried calamari, but it was cooked well and paired with a flavorful dipping sauce that kept me coming back for more. My entrée lineup included the branzino, Parker Rolls, and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese was brought out before my main course, so it had cooled off by the time I was ready for it. Ironically, after taking the leftovers home and reheating them, I enjoyed it even more. I had also ordered the creamed spinach, but was served broccolini instead. It was noticeably overcooked with some burnt pieces, making it the one real disappointment of the meal. Dessert completely redeemed the ending. The sticky toffee pudding was rich, warm, and absolutely worth saving room for. I finished every bite without hesitation. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a colorful, groovy aesthetic that pays tribute to British culture and artists without feeling overdone. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and made dining solo feel comfortable. While there were a few service hiccups and one incorrect side dish, I still left impressed enough to want another visit. Once reservations become a little easier to come by, I'll definitely be back to try the fish and chips and the salmon. read more

Dinner 8/3 A Gordon Ramsay at Downtown Disney! If you love the other restaurants, this is no different except the 10% discount if you're a Disneyland passholder. The beef wellington is still the best you'll ever get, and the toffee pudding... a scrumptious delight!! read more

We sat at the back garden bar. Rico was incredibly helpful explaining everything on the menu. He answered ALL of my questions! Of which I had many! He was put together and funny. Alex was at the back bar and he was also helpful. They make a great team! I'll definitely be back! read more

Ambiance is horrible 1/5 Service 5/5 Our waitress was lovely. I feel bad she has to work there. Food 1/5 Only semi decent thing was my beef Wellington. But was soggy. My side mashed potatoes tasted like a box mix. My husbands burger was tragic.. greasy and tasted like burnt motor oil. The Mac n cheese was dry and depressing. Too much oil grease and salt. But I guess Disneyland people enjoy that. This isn't fine dining. This is worse than his vegas restaurants and that's hard to do. read more

The food and service was fantastic! From entering the restaurant and leaving made you feel like we're in a different place. Ok only this is that I have to complain about is the outdoor seating. For this to be a new building they should have taken how to cool off the outdoor area especially here in Cali heat. If it's over 80 degrees outside ask to be seated inside. There is no fans and if you are unseated on the front side facing DTD then you will be in the sun until 730pm it is an open lattice top cover. Our host was Janice she was accommodating and providing great recommendations. Vanessa our server was kind. And you get a Magic key pass discount of 10%. If you used DTD parking even with validation ask for a print out of the receipt or text the receipt and share it with your party as the validation did not take like on my ticket and was asked to pay $66 for parking until I showed them my receipt. read more

The ambiance for this restaurant was nice! Family friendly but also could be a date night restaurant for adults! Alec was our server and we were seated in the upstairs patio area which overlooked the security gate to enter / exit out of downtown Disney. My gripe about the outdoor patio area was that there were a ton of ants everywhere which freaked my little ones out. Aside from that, the food was good especially their house buns! The beef Wellington was cooked perfectly although maybe a little too salty for me. Alec was friendly, attentive and had good recommendations on what to order! Definitely make a reservation online. We actually came the night before and was turned away since they were strictly taking people with reservations. Would recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already. read more

I was fortunate enough to snag a few reservations for opening week before it was completely booked up till December. I came on a wednesday evening around 730pm for my 815pm reservation, a bit early, thinking it would be a crazy line or crowd, but it wasn't. Hostess said to come back 5-10 minutes before our reservation time, no problem, walk around downtown disney for 30 minutes before we headed back and Hostess checked us in and sat us at the bar with seats of our choosing. The restaurant had a nice 60s decour, inside, bar and patio seating. Our bartender/waitress Amber greeted us and explained the menu and her recommendations/favorites. We knew what we wanted to order already, Carnaby Nachos, The Carnaby Wagyu Burger and Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. Took less than 15 minutes for the Nachos to come out and about 25 minutes after for the Wagyu burger and about 5 minutes after we finish Wagyu burger/ plates cleared for the sticky toffee pudding to come out . Carnaby Nachos- 5/5 Bomb!!! A must order for the table. The spicy cheese sauce was so good on top of tortillas chips, the pickled fresno peppers was refreshing and nice crunch. The braised short ribs was tender and delicious, Could have of had a bit more short ribs in the nachos, but still bomb. Portions size was huge too, especially for 2 people, but it was so good we smahed all of it. The Carnaby Wagyu Burger- 5/5 The Wagyu burger was so juicy and tender. The truffle aioli was rich and flavorful, always good on a burger. Thick cut bacon added a bit of saltiness. Lastly, nothing compliments a burger more than smoked cheddar cheese. Surprisingly, The Burger also comes with side of medium fries and ketchup. The fries were hot, cripsy outside and soft/fluffy inside and perfectly salted. Sticky Toffee Pudding - 6/5 The world famous Gordon Ramsay sticky toffee pudding is a must order everytime you go to his restaurant. It tasted consistent with all the other sticky toffee pudding I had in Las vegas. Definitely hit the spot and put me into food coma mode. Overall 5/5 experience and food. We spent about 1 hour there. I always recommend sharing so you can get a taste of everything. The nacho, burger, sticky toffee pudding, and 2 soda were the perfect amount for two people and came out to be $100 w/tax and tip Shot out to our wonderful bartenders Amber and Louie for always checking up on us, great customer service. If you were fortunate enough to snag a reservation, you won't be disappointed! Lastly, be sure to get your parking validated before you leave I'm coming back saturday to try the other food/cocktails on the menu, stay tune for an updated review!! read more

It's Groovy Baby! I will say it's one of the better restaurants in downtown Disney right now. A great addition for the resort! The 60s UK theme and decor is classy and fun. I really enjoyed the atmosphere in there. Each staff member we encountered were all so professional and friendly. We were seated on the south rooftop garden patio and it was awesome! There was a nice cool breeze in that section and the music on the overhead speakers did not have to compete with whatever performance was taking place on the stage at downtown Disney. I got the wagyu burger served with fries. The burger was flavorful, juicy & delicious. It was pretty filling too! The sticky toffee pudding is great! Complete with ice cream & house made caramel sauce! Overall the food quality is superb! I can't wait to try other dishes! My only two cons: 1. They don't have a text notification system to notify you that your table is ready. So you have to stay put or keep checking in with the host. 2. The waiting room has a shared door to Earls of Sandwich, and the smoke/fumes from their location fills the waiting room. It's really unpleasant. When arriving to a nice restaurant, you do not want to have that be the first thing you experience! read more

We did a reservation through open table. Our reservation was close to closing (9:30) so I was a bit worried, but they sat us at our scheduled time no problem. We did come early around 9:00 just in case, but the host did let us know it would be closer to 9:30. We sat and I asked for still water, but it took quite a while for them to bring the water; maybe about 10 minutes. It wasn't the fancy Welsh water like he has at his other restaurants, so I would pass. I love Gordon, so I was so excited to try this new place, but overall I was disappointed. We ordered apps and the nachos were mid - my partner said the tasted microwaved... the rolls were dry and not really all that special. The Caesar salad was tasteless and watery. Although we got our apps rather quickly, we didn't eat our mains (beef Wellington) until an hour and half later. I started falling asleep lol Everything took forever; I wanted to order dessert but didn't want to wait another 30 minutes. We had already been there for 2 hours. The beef Wellington was okay. It felt tough and the pastry felt underdone. The mash was like served like a lump on my plate lol tasted like box mash potatoes Also, our server was an oddball and even put both his hands on my partner at one point, which I thought was weird. To top it off it was $250 for everything. Not worth the price. I was a host/waitress in the past and one thing I noticed was them seating everyone SOOO close together. Obviously that's going to slam both the waiters and the kitchen. If Gordon ate here he would be disappointed. Obviously this is just a Disney cash grab under the Gordon name. Don't be like me and go in expecting the usual experience. read more

We were fortunate to get a reservation right away when the news broke out that the restaurant was open. We've been to several of Ramsey's restaurants so we did come with certain expectations. Interior of the restaurant is British coded. The area is divided among those who want drinks with a quick grab, dining, and dining areas that would be more ideal for a bigger party. We were celebrating our anniversary so we decided to order mainly steak with an appetizer. We tried the filet mignon, NY steak, and the rolls as appetizer. Bread came out relatively quick, almost all tables ordered the rolls and they did not disappoint. It was so soft and freshly out of the oven. However our steaks and also the dessert took a really long time to come out. We waited a little over 30min for the steak and another 30min for the sticky pudding to come out after we were done with our main entrees. In total, we were at the restaurant for 2hrs. For the steaks, they weren't bad but we had better ones elsewhere so they were a bit of a letdown for us. For how much it's charging, you're getting few green garnishes and one small half a tomato. I think they could make the tomatoes two slices instead of one since the size was so small (the tomato was nice). Also we weren't a fan of the horseradish butter on top. There were other signature dishes on the menu and I realize this isn't a steak specialty so that's on our part for picking the wrong dishes, but you'd expect the steak would be good right (it's just not mind blowing)? The sticky pudding was good, maybe slightly more baked than what we've had in LV. Service was good, it was only day 2 when I went so service was on top. I think the restaurant should work on the timing of the food though, it was such a long dining time for us than we had anticipated. If you're a Disney employee or Disney pass holder, they offer discount here. Our waitress asked us if we were pass holders (which we were), and she honored the discount by scanning our pass. If your waiter does not ask you when checking out, I would let them know so you can utilize the discount you qualify for. TIP: When routing to the restaurant and you need parking, just route it to the Simba parking, everyone trying to find parking had to detour because Google Maps directed us to a hotel parking. read more
