It seems to me, according to the menu on their website, that they haven’t retained anything from Gordon’s menu. Has anyone checked on this?

I checked it, I think its nothing from Gordon left but the menue reads pretty simple so I think its still the Idea left. I mean he can’t leave the menue for 2 years still the same,..but look how simle it’s written.

From the comments on the first link, it seems the chef has reverted to his old ways. He also claims that there was no problem with the restaurant until Ramsay went there. Yeah Right! Thats why you invited a show named Kitchen NIGHTMARES to film your restaurant…
It seems that the chef does a great job when he has a special event (like a wedding). Most people loved those. However, his service and food during regular services are not liked as much. Yet, he is completely ignorant of all this.

The show needs better editing/directing. The back ground of the OLD look was behind the chef as he proclaimed the changes are good. This happen more then once during the interviews with the chef. I repeat THE SHOW NEEDS A BETTER EDITOR or DIRECTOR
