We ordered: Beef Wellington - potato purée, glazed baby root vegetables, red wine demi Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - herb aioli, mixed greens, citrus Sticky Toffee Pudding - warm date cake, ice cream, english toffee sauce Scotch Egg - berkshire pork sausage, shaved brussels sprouts and apple salad, grain mustard vinaigrette Chocolate Pot De Creme - cocoa madeleines, chantilly cream Crispy Skin Salmon - coconut green curry, sticky rice, thai apple slaw It's a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. You're ready to be super critical and take this guy down a peg. Well, this place exceeded expectations tbh. Our crab cake was a fat flavorful hockey puck packed with a ton of fresh crab. Scotch egg was cooked runny, fried perfectly, and lovely with the mustard. Adjacent salads were fresh and tasty. Beef Wellington was cooked perfect medium rare from edge to edge and so soft like the pastry. Salmon was decently tender, perfectly crispy skin, great coconut curry with a little heat, and rice could be a tad drier than wet for my personal preference. Desserts were fantastic. Chocolate pot de creme was made with dark chocolate and salted I think. Not too sweet, thick and creamy, and absolutely divine with the madeleines. Sticky toffee pudding was sweeter of course but had such a rich depth of flavor. We finished quite full and happy. Service was friendly and competent. I hope to come back next year.

Went in on a whim for lunch. Got a parking spot right in front! Wanted to try this place for a while. Glad they let us in with me wearing leggings and a hoodie. Timothy was just so amazing. Loved how he showed us the design of the space. Explained how the lighting and designs were something representing Ramsey's home. Super interesting. I felt so fancy with him serving us like we were important and him just being so amiable. Had the side Caesar salad. Big bacon bits and the dressing was perfect. Love Caesar dressing with the anchovies! My hub had the burger and fries. He really liked it. I had the beef wellington. I have always wanted to try it. It was just out of this world. Such an amazing experience.

Our server was Jennifer. She was awesome !!! Came here for my son's 14th birthday as he is a huge fan of Hells Kitchen. Started the meal off with an order of the Parker rolls (12.00). They come in a cast iron dish (it's hot!) with a delicious buttery crust and sea salt sprinkle. Added on a scotch egg as that is one of my husband and my favorites. It was done perfectly. It was a single egg cut in half on a bed of shaved Brussel sprouts. It was good. But to me 13.00 was a bit pricey. Jennifer recommended a great bottle of red blend (letting us try before buying) that was 56.00. Not a bad price for a good bottle of wine in my opinion. On to the mains. Husband got the famous beef Wellington. It was done on the rarer side of medium rare and he liked it. He did expect the puff pastry to be a bit crisper but other than that it was done to his liking (69.00). The kid got fish and chips (29.00). It was a huge piece of haddock that was beer battered and looked fantastic. He really liked it. I got a seafood risotto. I didn't ask the price (mistake on my part). It was good (the lobster was a bit overdone and chewy in my opinion) the cost however made me do a double take. It was billed as an elite risotto (which it was and very good mind you) (22.00) add 2 large scallops (21.00) and 3 shrimps (12.00) that would have been enough for me and a fine price, but then there was the small lobster at 26.00 ! This made for a grand total of 81.00. For risotto. At that price point I would have just gotten scallops and a side and still been ahead. But again this was my bad for not asking about the price upon ordering. We ended up getting two desserts, the sticky toffee pudding (16.00) and for my son the lemon cheesecake (14.00). I was kind of surprised that there wasn't a birthday dessert of some kind offered to my son being that was the reason we were there. But again I didn't ask, just assumed that since we had mentioned on the reservation and again when we got there that it was for his birthday. All in all it was a good meal. Was it worth the almost 400.00 price tag ? Probably not. And I don't know if it was that great that we would return anytime soon. But for a fun one of a kind thing it was nice.

Tried Ramsay's on Wednesday night (August 14th, 2024) what a great place....great atmosphere! It was my first time here and I was very impressed. Service: Our server was super friendly and helpful with my large group. He was very attentive and made sure my drinks stayed full (especially the adult drinks) :) Food: We absolutely enjoyed all the food. We ordered several appetizers (see pictures) and I had the salmon for dinner. It was cooked medium and to perfection. I had a gin drink (can't remember the name "Don't cha something" but it was very refreshing - so I had three) Sorry for not having all the details, but the most important details are that the food was FAB, the drinks were FAB, and the service was outstanding. I see why they are rated so well. I'll be back for sure!!

Ramsey's is located in the heart of downtown Naperville. There is plenty of street parking and a parking lot right behind the restaurant. My husband and I came by for lunch on a Friday afternoon, when we walked in we were asked if we had a reservation (we didn't have one) but they were able to get us seated quickly. Upon being seated we were greeted by our server, Alison. She was an absolute delight. Sharing recommendations, and chatting with us about our experience. She thought a few steps ahead of what we may or may not need throughout lunch and made the experience super memorable. To start we got the crudo, it had a yuzu based sauce, it made the beautifully plated plate light, and refreshing. Highly recommend trying it. For our entrees we got the idiot sandwich and the burger. My husband and I split them so we could try both. The burger was juicy and flavorful without being too much. The jam and the onions added tons of flavors. While the idiot sandwich was stuffed with short rib, cheese and it was delish!ore often than not the short rib in sandwiches are dry but this was the opposite, it was quite literally dripping in the best way. For our sides we got both truffle fries and regular fries. The truffle fries were my favorite of the two but enjoyed both. They were crispy and were thicker which I prefer. For our drinks we both got mocktails, which they had tons of great options. We had the hibiscus sour and the love affair. The love affair had a lighter citrus taste and the hibiscus has more of a berry and fruity taste. Both super refreshing for a hot summers day. All in all, we had an incredible time and am looking forward to coming back for dinner and trying other entrees.

Drink Review Only! First off, the interior design . I loved everything from the mixture of textures and patterns within the finishes selected for the space, the creative space planning to accommodate as much soft seating as possible, and the major features in the space: open kitchen, lighting, curved ceiling details. This exceeded what I thought the space would look like. Onto the drinks. I popped in with my partner for an evening cocktail and sat at the bar. I do wish there weren't tv's to display sports; it takes away from the atmosphere but I get the commercial need for them. We ordered the One Last Kiss and Spiced Pear. Both were well balanced, garnished well, and presented in nice glassware. The Spiced Pear was subtle and creamy whereas the One Last Kiss was fruity with a dry bite at the end. Both were equally delicious and cost $16 & $17. The only draw back was our bartender was hustling from being busy. Early on he asked if we wanted water, we said yes, but never got them. It also took a bit to get our check as he was cranking out drinks for tables. It didn't take away from our experience overall and we will certainly be back!

Excellent service and food. Rudy was an amazing bartender and gave us excellent service during our stay. We called ahead but reservations were limited so we sat at the bar. We both ordered crispy skin salmon as our entrees. The wine list was very extensive and we shared a crisp Sauvignon blanc. The menu is limited but lots of great meals and appetizers to select. The chocolate tart was to die for! The atmosphere is very chill and all of the staff are very nice. We enjoyed chatting with Lauren (Loren?) at the bar. The bathrooms are very clean and the facility is spacious. A very nice place to dine.
