Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill Review
An Authentic British Pub Experience in the Heart of Vegas
Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace delivers exactly what it promises: a polished British pub experience with the celebrity chef's signature flair. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between traditional pub warmth and Las Vegas sophistication. Dark wood paneling, leather banquettes, and Union Jack accents create an inviting space that feels both elevated and comfortable.
Food Quality and Standout Dishes
The menu features elevated British classics with Ramsay's characteristic precision. The Beef Wellington, served with roasted potatoes and glazed vegetables, is undoubtedly the star attraction. The pastry is perfectly flaky, the duxelles well-seasoned, and the beef tender and cooked to precise temperature specifications. The Fish and Chips features beer-battered Atlantic cod that's remarkably light and crisp, served with proper mushy peas and triple-cooked chips that achieve that ideal crunchy exterior and fluffy interior.
Other notable dishes include the Shepherd's Pie, made with braised lamb and topped with creamy mashed potatoes, and the Scotch Egg with a runny yolk center that demonstrates the kitchen's technical skill. The burger selection, particularly the Classic Pub Burger, stands out for its quality ingredients and perfect execution.
Service and Atmosphere
Service is generally efficient and knowledgeable, though it can feel slightly rushed during peak hours. Staff members are well-versed in menu details and provide good recommendations. The pub atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, making it suitable for both casual meals and special occasions. The bar area features an impressive selection of British and local craft beers, along with creative cocktails that put interesting twists on classic pub drinks.
Value Considerations
While prices are certainly at the premium end for pub fare (entrees range from $25-$55), the quality of ingredients and execution justify the cost for most dishes. Portions are generous, and the attention to detail in preparation is evident throughout the menu. The restaurant offers better value during lunch hours and through their happy hour specials, which feature discounted appetizers and drinks.
Special Features and Amenities
The restaurant's design includes several thoughtful touches, including a beautiful glass-enclosed wine cellar, multiple HD screens for sporting events (particularly popular during Premier League matches), and a semi-private dining area for groups. The open kitchen allows guests to watch the culinary team at work, adding to the entertainment value of the experience.
Practical Information
Open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with extended hours on weekends. Reservations are highly recommended, particularly for dinner service and during major sporting events. The location within Caesars Palace makes it easily accessible from the Strip, with validation available for casino parking.
