Reception

In 2002, Giles Coren visited Restaurant Gordon Ramsay for lunch while writing for Times Online. He found that the meal had its good and bad points, saying "Perhaps the 'best restaurant in Britain' can only disappoint. Perhaps if I want magic I should wait for Paul Daniels to open a restaurant".[2] However, he gave scores of nine for execution, eight for service, and seven for "mind-blowing tingliness".[2] Terry Durack of The Independent reviewed the restaurant in 2009, describing the food provided as "classic cooking; sophisticated, well-edited and flavour-first".[5] Overall he gave Restaurant Gordon Ramsay a score of sixteen out of twenty.[5]

In 2009, the restaurant dropped out of The S.Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants for the first time, and failed to make the top 100.[6] The 2011 edition of Harden's restaurant guide lists Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in seventeenth place in London in the "most mentioned" league table, a drop from ninth place in the previous year. It also ranked the restaurant in one of the top two spots in the "most disappointing cooking" category.[7] Harden's had previously listed the restaurant as the most overpriced in the UK.[8] However, The Good Food Guide lists Restaurant Gordon Ramsay as the second best in the country, only bettered by The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire, and was described as "the nearest thing to a world-class restaurant experience currently on offer in the capital".[9]
