    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.

    Omg! Food and service were excellent and ambiance was very nice. One of the best dining experiences I've had and one of the best steaks as well. For my cocktail I had the Red Eye Old Fashioned, very well balanced, excellent. Ordered the beet salad and butternut squash to start. The beets were just right, the za'atar beet yogurt gave it just the right kick. The butternut squash soup was delicious, rich and not super sweet. The steak was the 8 ounce Idaho tenderloin, medium, perfectly cooked and scrumptious. Carrots, mushrooms, and puree potatoes were amazing. Last but not least the sticky toffee pudding, warm, sweet, and luscious. Definitely a place for an exceptional dining experience. It's pricey, not going to lie, but in my opinion definitely worth it.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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)

    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.

    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.

    One Night in Tulum mocktail and Old Fashioned
    Cecilia M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

First off, the bread isn't as good as usual. It was fine but nothing great and barely Luke warm. We always get asked if we want more bread but not on our visit here - a first. Our server was so busy and there was no supporting staff except to deliver the food from the kitchen. We didn't get asked if we wanted more bread, took 20 minutes to get our order in, our calamari appetizer never arrived and just our mains but by the time we could find our server we were halfway through our mains despite that I am a slow eater. The server did apologize and said he would bring the calamari and take it off the bill, which was nice. Calamari came in 10 minutes but portion looked small. When the server came by next he mentioned that it came quickly because he stole the order from another table - what?!? Am glad the calamari was free because it didn't taste great and portion was small. My boyfriend wasn't asked if he wanted another beer until we were at the end of the meal and when I asked for a water refill it took another 10 minutes. It took us over 2 hours to eat and not because I was slow eater but due to the slow service. We were looking forward to our Billy Miner pie but the server never mentioned it and as it took so long to find him we gave up on dessert and opted to go for dessert somewhere else. This must be a franchise location and not sure why it's so busy as service and food easily the worst Keg location I've ever been to and I have to most locations in the Lower Mainland plus Kelowna. Will definitely stick to the Vancouver and Burnaby locations from here on out. The bigger disappointment was that I wrote to the Keg to provide feedback and never heard back. Sad to see one of the best chain restaurants to go downhill.

    This was not a good experience. We came to celebrate a birthday and had a table of 5. Our bill was…read more$400. Although the service is great, the kitchen was off. We emailed the restaurant after to discuss the experience and had no response. We ordered appies and drinks to start. The Caesar salad is amazing and highly recommend. The crab cakes and calamari were also delicious. 2 people got prime rib, one steak, and one filet mignon. Plus a bunch of sides, like the brussels, Mac and cheese, and broccoli gratin. The broccoli gratin was dried burnt broccoli with a sprinkle of parm. The Mac and cheese was bland. The food came out except for 1 prime rib. After 10 minutes, the server came to apologize and inform us that they were out of prime rib. He offered the prime rib sandwich on rush, which we appreciated. It came out quickly enough but was not good. There was too much fat to meat ration. We would have sent back a few things but the table beside us sent back their food multiple times and we were ready to go. Not sure what happened but it was an off day. I would not recommend this location!

You'll find some classic dishes but less heavy on the salt and grease, perfect for myself and the party I was dining with. I ordered the 5 course meal which was a fantastic deal for $65. The bread service at the start is so warm and yummy - don't skip out on it! The pesto sauce tiger prawns weren't overly pesto forward and had a strong presence of garlic - perfect for me! I loved the chowder as I especially like corn. The portion was also perfect considering I had many courses coming afterwards. Next, came the crab cake, which was generously filled with crab and paired with delicious house made butter. For each dish, I found the garnishes pleasing as well (especially the strawberry which was so sweet and ripe!). I think the best deal of the night was the steak. It was not too salty and cooked perfectly to a medium-rare. I managed to have leftovers as well since the portions were overwhelmingly good. Finally, the star of the night was definitely the chocolate soufflé for me. I loved the rich bitterness of the chocolate paired with ice cream on the side. I don't think this place is the best representation for fine dining. After all, they do not serve any alcohol. However, I think it is a great deal and accommodating to my taste buds. If I do not wish to drive out for fancy food, I know I can rely on the food at Shoestring café. As it is a family run business, there is only one person managing the front and I think they do a pretty good job at juggling all the duties of a host, server, and table busser! I would love to return soon.

    Friendly service and I love how passionate they are about quality and using fresh ingredients (eg…read morefresh mushrooms for sauces and fresh made pasta). Steamed mussels and soufflé were so addictive and heavenly. The mussels were savoury and buttery and the soufflé was airy with the perfect amount of sweetness. They were very good! Hits and misses for the mains. While the pasta and sauce were great, we wish the seafood were panfried or something to give it a bit more texture. The duck was well done but not tough (we generally like medium rare) though we were confused by why the skin was served down as crispy skin is always a plus for duck breasts. I'm not a fan of mashed potatoes but theirs was not overly heavy and buttery, which I really appreciated and enjoyed. This reminds me of Asian western food but they were tasty and the ambience was cozy - a local neighbourhood spot.

It was nice that the chef himself delivered the food we ordered on our table. The service is great! The ambience was very nice and cozy since it's located away from busy streets.

    DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT IF YOU WANT YOUR EXPERIENCE RUINED…read more My son took my parents and I here for my birthday. We have been here before and my son really enjoyed it so he wanted to come here for my birthday dinner. We ordered 2 regular prime rib dinners, 1 fillet mignon, 1 French Onion soup and 1 Caesar salad. Here's what happened: 1. Parts of the crust on the French Onion soup came out black. I sent it back and the manager came by to minimize my concerns. Another manager came by to apologize for having the crust burned. 2. My son ordered the fillet mignon medium. It came out well done. The manager came out to apologize again. 3. The replacement fillet mignon came out tartar - seared on the outside, cold on the inside. 4. Same manager came out and deemed it was unaccepted. I asked for the chef. Sous chef came out and apologized. Offered to cook it himself. 5. After waiting 45 minutes for the 3rd attempt at cooking a steak, we decided to pay the bill, tip the server and we left. They didn't even bother trying to fix their first two mistakes. Overall, I would say this was probably the worst meal I've had the displeasure of having at a steakhouse. It was disappointing especially for a chain of steakhouses. My recommendation is do NOT patronize this establishment. You're better off at McDonald's or Wendy's if you want something that is cooked properly.

    I had recently received a gift card to Steveston Seafood House, and decided to use it for a weekend…read morebrunch/lunch. We arrived in time for our reservation but there was no one at the front. We waited for a few minutes for someone to notice we were there, and were immediately seated. It's a nice looking place - very classic whites, and feels like a fine dining restaurant. We decided to try the following: - Beef Carpaccio: Good. Maybe a bit light on the meat, as it was buried by the arugula and pickled shallots, so seemed unbalanced, but overall tasted great - Seafood Linguini: Mixed. Linguini was good. Scallops were really good and tender. Mussels were tiny. Red snapper was tough and dry. As a dish, it was OK, but could be better. Seafood is seasonal, so I'd think they would be better off rotating what seafood is used. - LuLu Island: OK. Same issue as the linguine. Prawns were fine. Mussels tiny. Red snapper wasn't enjoyable. Broth had flavour, but didn't come out very hot. Service was pleasant but slow. I only saw one server and one busser, so not enough staff to handle 6 or 7 tables they had. Starter came n reasonable time, but main dishes seemed to take over 20min. Took awhile to get our plates cleared, and probably 15+ minutes to get the bill. Overall, it was OK. Food was OK, but not special. Service was nice enough, but couldn't keep up with timing. Glad I got to try it, but not special enough to go back.

We tried four different fish (sablefish, halibut, salmon, and char) and each was cooked really well with slight variations that made them stand out. Oysters were a nice bonus at $1.50 each with entrées. Service was excellent--our waiter kept things light with jokes and even brought me dessert when he found out it was my birthday. Overall, a solid seafood dinner and good value.

I grew up in Seattle- a short drive to the south- and was missing me some seafood! I ordered up a couple local brews (IPA's if anyone is asking) and checked out the menu! I quickly focused on the fish and chips! 2pcs just to be safe! As I started to drink the beer, the fish and chips showed up! With a nice little tub of tartar sauce, and a nice little tub of ketchup for the fries- the way God intended! The fish was lightly breaded nicely fried and tasted absolutely fantastic! Especially with that great tartar sauce! Even the coleslaw tasted pretty epic! Now let me tell you this place was definitely a sports bar because tonight the USA was playing Belgium in the FIFA. World Cup and the place was lively as hell! So did I enjoy it? Heck yeah! I will be back and you should go and try it once too, and I'll bet you would agree. This place is where you want to be!
