Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood

Overall the food was superb and I could tell that food was treated with special attention and detail. The girl that I was dating was vegetarian and the head chef went out of his way to prepare a vegetarian course for her! I had the the roasted quail and risotto with truffles, it was heaven in my mouth.

The girl that I was dating was vegetarian and the head chef went out of his way to prepare a vegetarian course for her! I had the the roasted quail and risotto with truffles, it was heaven in my mouth. I do agree with some of the other bloggers, menu was very confusing and was more directed toward heavy food enthusiasts who know their "foody" language. Although I had a 4 course dinner, I was nowhere near full at the end. Portions were extremely small and you can finish one whole dish in about 4 bites. Service was excellent, and atmosphere was outmost elegant and classy. You definitelly need a good sized wallet to eat here!-COLLAPSE / REPLY (44 Replies) (by mrchopsuey101, created March 9, 2010)

I realize that your birthday celebration has come and gone, but for future reference, I just had tea this afternoon for the first time at Gordon Ramsey at the London and I loved it.

The room is just so magical and absolutely perfect for late afternoon tea - you really feel like you are sitting in the middle of a gorgeous jewel box. The large banquettes are extremely comfortable and a welcome change from most tea venues, which either seem to involve tiny tables or sitting on a sofa and leaning over a low coffee table.

However, cheap it is not. We opted for the champagne tea, which is the regular tea with a glass of champagne. I believe it was $40. (And I seem to recall that without the champagne, it was $28, so the champagne must add $12). Parking is $8.

Still, if you are looking for a splurge, I highly recommend it. The service was spot on and very attentive. There was a nice tea selection and they kept bringing us not only fresh pots of tea, but new tea cups. The food was excellent - tea sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, berry jam, and a lovely tray of sweets.

Gordon Ramsey is definitely my new favorite afternoon tea place in Los Angeles.-COLLAPSE / REPLY (8 Replies) (by omotosando, created November 5, 2009)
