Gordon Ramsay's Pub & Grill - Las Vegas Caesar's Palace


New thing today, food review of Gordon Ramsay's Pub & Grill in Caesar's Palace Las Vegas. We ate there twice during our trip, and overall it was good, not great, but overall pretty good, ok like a 7 out of 10 or so. I love the service and oddly enough also love the wait staff's uniforms. They wear these rocker weird getups. The girls have cute outfits, waitresses have a printed black and white pattern and the hostess has like a newsprint dress which is very cool. The guys all wear these suspender things - I guess it's a pub German rocker feel or something, but I like the outfits. The atmosphere is very cool casual. They have comfy chairs, living room feeling settings and lots of TVs playing the latest games.

My favorite thing I tried was probably the mustard that came with the pretzel breadsticks for dinner. It was amazing. The pretzel breadsticks were super yummy too, but the mustard - OHHHHH! It also came with a horseradish sauce that was also super tasty.



The Magic Hat #9 - I just had to try this beer just from the name. Good stuff and I was glad I got to try a new beer. Haven't had a new beer in ages :)



Bangers and Mash - Lunch. The mashed potatoes excellent. The bangers were good. The gravy sauce was a little too sweet for me. I noticed that the more beer I had, the better the bangers tasted. If it's paired with the beer it's far tastier. Overall quite good.



Truffle Fries - Lunch. Yum! I preferred regular fries though. Truffle fries came with some killer aioli sauce though. Ok to good if you like truffle fries.

Regular Fries - AMAZING! The fries are thick cut yum. I don't even like thick cut fries but they're good. The lunch fries were better than the dinner fries. 





Pub Burger - Lunch. Delish! I was jealous of my husband's order and he really liked it - excellent and well done burger & fries. They did this basic very well!




Rillettes of Duck and Pork - Dinner. It's like pate and pretty good. I like pate. The husband preferred the duck and I prefer pork. Also a new thing, I haven't ever had rillettes before, so it was interesting appetizer. Came with thick crunch outside bread, the killer mustard and pickled veggies.




Fish and Chips - Dinner. Tasty and good. Husband liked the mushy peas. I thought overall it was good but not anything incredible.




Braised Pork Belly - Dinner. Excellently and expertly cooked. Super fatty and unhealthy. I prefer more salt and seasoning, but it had really great texture. If you want a fatty soft and juicy meat, that's not beef, then this is quite good. It has a thin slightly crisp outside and the rest is soft. 



So that's what we thought of the Ramsay Pub & Grill. I'm a fan of the TV chef with Kitchen Nightmares and all. I love pubs, and his pub was good to great. 

Price - It's a lot pricer than we can regularly afford. I think the irritating thing about expensive places is the food has to be awesome to impress me. It can't just be good if I'm paying $40-$50 for my meal. So overall this was a little disappointing just being "good" and not every bite divine. But if we found this hole in the wall pub, and the dishes were less expensive, I'd recommend this place to give the people good business. Ramsay needs very little good press, and the food here is good if you can afford it. 

Variety - The trouble is, we only had 2 meals here. I would have gladly come here multiple times as I was curious about a ton of dishes on the menu. I'd say fair maybe 5 times, try all the different dishes, then put in my final review. For the 2 meals we had, it was good. I would demand the mustard and the fries again, and maybe the Magic Hat #9, just for sentimental reasons. Have a drink, relax and try something new at this place.
