Review of maze by Gordon Ramsey

My partner and I were excited to try one of Gordon's restaurants and were celebrating a very special occasion, however when we arrived it was not quite as we had expected. We were expecting something slightly more sophisticated to be honest especially for the price and location. We were shown to our table which was opposite a large TV with a sports game on. The noise level was quite high which was a little annoying as we had hoped for a more quiet romantic meal although the staff did move us to another table. The tables were pretty small and tightly packed together though. The staff were attentive but the ambience was somewhat disappointing. The menu was totally different to the one I had seen online and had quite limited options, especially for my partner who has a gluten and dairy intolerance. The onion rings were soggy with a strange sauce between them which was again slightly disappointing. The chips were a little undercooked and the fillet steak was a little gristly. My peppercorn sauce tasted very creamy / buttery but that was maybe just not to my individual taste. The dessert was very small and quite basic but on the plus side my partners salmon was apparently quite good and had a decent size side of greens. We certainly would not go back to this particular establishment although nothing was quite bad enough to make a complaint. I have had much better meals for a lot less money if I'm totally honest so maybe you are paying more for the celebrity name than the quality of food or restaurant interior.
