"Let me start off by saying that I had no expectations going in. I didn't want to set any type of expectations since I heard good things about the food but also knew I was going to a restaurant that started because of a show. The food: overall delicious. We shared appetizers: lobster risotto, scallops, beef tartare, Caesar Salad. The lobster risotto was my favorite. Texture and flavor were so good. Scallops and beef tartare were also good. They had good flavor and scallops were cooked spot on. Salad was crisp and dressing was nice (a little too dressed for my liking but I like very little dressing in my salads). We all order beef Wellington and it was the best Wellington I have ever had. It lived up to the hype! Now for the star of the night. The sticky toffee pudding! Just order it. It's delicious. It melts in your mouth. Warm, gooey, sweet but not overly sweet. I would go back just for this. Service was nice. Our waiter did a good job. Nothing great but also nothing bad. Ambiance I thought was a little off. From the show it feels like they want guess to have a great experience and dinner. I think food wise it was. Ambiance felt a little cold and just felt like I was eating at a factory restaurant if that makes sense. There was no warmth or life in the restaurant. It seemed like everyone that worked there were going through the motions and just getting people feed to turn the table and get the next group in. Overall I think if you want to taste a great beef Wellington and the best sticky toffee pudding then go to Hell's Kitchen."
