Immediately, yes! Birthday dinner done right. The lobster risotto, beef Wellington, steak tartare, caeser salad with scotch egg, the cocktails, the service from Hayden, EVERYTHING WAS GLORIOUS! Who knew that Gordon Ramsay was in the Lake Charles area??! The standard has been set and kept at this location. This was an epic discovery, and I can't wait to return!

Food - You can taste the standard, in every bite. Service - Impeccable. Ambiance - Besides being next to a casino, the lake view is terrific. Especially at night.

This is the second time I have dined at GR Steakhouse and I am happy I returned! The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Even though we didn't order it, the daily special Cajun risotto, sounded delicious! My husband and I really enjoy ordering lots of appetizers and sides to share for our meal and eat family style. This time we ordered the shrimp cocktail, the beef tartar, the crab cake, the market wedge salad, and the lobster bisque. In order from least to most favorite dish: - LOBSTER BISQUE: at $17 this was a very overpriced tomato soup with toasted brioche and lobster added in almost as an afterthought. I would not order this again as it lacked so much flavor. - THE MARKET WEDGE: made with Butter Lettuce, Crisp Pancetta, Stilton Blue Cheese, Tomato Raisins, and Green Goddess Dressing, this is nothing like any wedge salad you've ever had and honestly it probably could use a name update because it was very disappointing in comparison to a regular wedge salad. - SHRIMP COCKTAIL: served with a Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce and Gin Pico de Gallo. The shrimp were cooked perfectly but they would have been highlighted much more had it been served alongside regular cocktail sauce instead of something so elevated. - SMOKED BEEF TARTARE: served with Truffle Egg Emulsion, Coriander Vinaigrette, Manchego Cheese, and delicious Yukon Gold Kettle Chips. A MUST TRY! - CRAB CAKE: made with Louisiana Blue Crab, and served with Crispy Asparagus, and Lemon Hollandaise this is the star of the evening! Don't be an idiot sandwich, order the crab cake!! Finally for dessert we ordered an off the menu dessert recommended by our waiter. The key lime cheese cake was pretty disappointing but the citrus sorbet that was served alongside it was unbelievable!! I'd order an entire gallon of it if it were available! Overall, a great night with good food. A perfect date night spot.

My birthday is in August; usually 100 degrees every year! We usually take some sort of trip with Rooster and grandma. There was some debate about to do this year. I had mentioned a month or so back to the boy (now a junior in HS BTW) that Gordon Ramsay had opened a steakhouse in Louisiana. This got him thinking about actually trying food he has only seen on TV. Fine, plans were made to head that way. Hotel prices are ridiculous at the actual venue so we stayed about a mile away in Westlake. Four thirty reservation; haven't eaten dinner in some time so I skipped lunch all together. The space is elegant and lakeside. Service was exemplary and provided by Dezmenn. Drinks and wine ordered; prepare for about $20 each since it's not listed. My oysters were a fine start. The described "Bloody Mary" cocktail sauce was on point as was the other provided sauce. Not too pricey at $22. This is a steakhouse so of course there is bread served. A very soft focaccia with black salted butter. Nice bites and we were offered another round. The wedge salad was ordered split between my GF and my mom. The kitchen didn't get that memo so we split it at the table with an additional. The other miss of the meal was the bone marrow. When it arrived it was not liquid enough to be gently scooped out on the provided bread. I sent it back for more heat; they put the dish in a salamander and now the bread is burnt. Flavor was off too. First time I've have not enjoyed this dish. Ok, main courses. Might as well try some of Gordon's famous dishes. Rooster ordered a wellington as did we to be shared between my mom, GF, and I. For good measure why not order the bone in 20oz ribeye too. The steak was perfect. Don't think it's the GOAT but definitely in my top 10. Back to the "wellie", it was fine. Rooster at his plus half of ours. If you're a total meat dude/dudette you'll find the fanciness a bit boring. Beautiful red center surrounded by puff pastry. The duxelle of mushroom didn't come through as I expected. I also didn't find the veggies on the signature dish to be that flavorful. Same with the asparagus. I would have preferred it to be grilled; sauce was fine. Best bites for me was the baked potato with smoked gouda béchamel. Lardons on top could have been less cooked for my taste. Desserts were fancy and artfully presented. I being the birthday boy didn't even order a dessert but one showed up anyway. Cheesecake, truffles, sticky toffee pudding with cute butter and knife ice cream presentation. You're thinking this is alot of words for a review. How much per paragraph? The bill was just over $500 not including tip. Ehhh, I enjoyed the experience. But, dammit why are the fanciest places in the world only open for dinner??? I've maintained 167lbs for 20 years because I don't eat late and I will tell you I was miserable overnight. On another note Rooster is planning next years visit...

All the staff greet you as you walk-in and as you leave. Superb service. My fiancé and I have been here twice now. The number one item of this place is probably the crab cakes in my opinion. Steak temperature was cooked to perfection. No complaint about that! There are steak enhancements including lump crab. Loved all the desserts there! The place is nice and clean. We shall definitely be back

This is my 2nd Gordon Ramsey experience in States and I loved it! We had ordered wagyu filet and New York strip steak. Although they didn't cook mine medium rare but it was still tasty and yum! We had oysters and they were fresh and delicious! Love the ambiance of the restaurant and especially we could sit by the window. The River view is amazing. Our waiter Ted provided great service. There was a little miscommunication at reception but end up all good! I like this one better than Hell kitchen in Vegas!

First, let me say that we had reservations for Valentine's Night at 8pm. So, we probably arrived after a very busy day/evening. That being said, the restaurant is located in a very smoke filled Horseshoe Casino. Once you're in the restaurant the smell of smoke is completely gone. We were very happy about that. They had live music as we were walking in. They seated us right away. I can't remember our waiter's name and while he was very nice he was in a constant state of hurry. I ordered the wedge salad for an appetizer. It was delicious. I NEED some of that dressing for my house. My husband ordered the crab cake and really enjoyed it. They also served fresh focaccia bread with garlic herb butter. We both wanted more because it was that good. For our entrees, I got the Wagyu NY Strip and he got the ribeye. I also ordered the chimichurri at the suggestion of our waiter. The steaks were flavored well, but mine was a little under cooked so I ate the parts that I could stomach eating. My husband really enjoyed his steak. However, I didn't care for the chimichurri. For sides we order the Brussel sprouts which we both agreed were some of the best we've ever had. The Mac and cheese which would have been delicious had they not forgotten to bring it to me & then when it finally arrived was like warm at best. The loaded baked potato which was very good. We finished the night with 2 desserts and a $400+ bill. The date cake with the sticky toffee pudding served with the brown butter ice cream was one of the best desserts I've ever had. We also got the mascarpone cheesecake and it was delicious as well. Overall, it was a good experience and we'd like to go back on a not so busy night.

It was like a symphony from the atmosphere, to the dining experience, to the food & so on so forth!!! The Atmosphere was warm & cozy The waiter gave us the best dining experience ever from the recommendations to services The Food was so amazing.... we had everything he recommended* we got *Beautiful Dreamer *Blueberry Lemon Drop (which is not on the menu but needs to be) *Crab cake *Beef Wellington 8oz Prime Filet with a lobster tail (lobster tail was definitely on the small side for 26 bucks but it was love at first bite.. it was buttery, tender & slightly sweet) *Mac & cheese *Sticky Pudding Ending with a London fog. Everything was delicious... by far the beef Wellington was an everything I imagined it would be. The pastry was flaky the beef was so tender I really didn't need a knife & the smoothness of the potato purée was the best I ever had. I don't even wanna start on the red wine demi-glaze. We didn't finish the Mac & cheese because we had to have room for that insanely delicious sticky toffee pudding. The London Fog was strong but was a great ended after the sweet but not overly sweet dessert. So like a symphony it was masterful cooked layered with flavors. I was very pleased with that meal... satisfied with service & overall it was a very memorable dining experience!!!

The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. I enjoy being able to see the kitchen from the table. It is a little expensive, but you are paying for both the service and the name. I cannot wait to return.
