The food was horrible. My filet was dried out but cold. My son's steak frites was also very cold and tough. The salads were gross. Just overpriced and overall disappointing.

We had a 5:45 reservation but we're not seated until 6:15, which was frustrating since we had to leave the restaurant by 7:30 in order to pick our kids up from a party on time. However, everything was smooth sailing after we were seated and our server was excellent as was the food! I will always be annoyed, however, when I have to wait to be seated 30 minutes after my reservation time.

I can't point to any specific thing to say was "bad". But I also can't say anything was exceptional and worth the high prices. The service was good at the beginning, but it took about an hour once our food was ordered before our entrees were brought to the table. We ordered chicken wings and rolls as apps, and again, while they weren't bad, there was nothing to make me go "wow that's good". My wife ordered the lamb. While she said it was very good, it was 1 small piece of lamb for $49. She also ordered the side of Brussels sprouts, which were listed as "crispy." They were not. Nothing special. Honestly, they were not even seasoned well. My fish sandwich was also nothing special. I've had better at plenty of much lower-priced restaurants. The "salad" was just greens. Nothing else. With barely any "dressing," which was just a tiny drizzle of oil and lemon juice. The sauce of my side of mac & cheese was thin. Again, nothing special. So again, the food wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't worth the $225 bill. for the two of us.

What a disappointment... the food was terrible, no one liked what they ordered, and we got a variety of cuisine types. Most of it went un-eaten and we are not hard to please. We were there for my son's birthday and they don't even do a complimentary dessert which is absurd given how expensive it is. I really regret going.

This is my go to place for lunch. The price fix menu and the lunch special are always great options

Waitress was not attentive and did not come around to take drink orders. She knew it was our friend's birthday and did nothing for her.

Business lunch and everyone was pleased with their meal choice. Server was a true professional and made everything run like a clock. A+

Went for our anniversary dinner. Everything was great. We arrived early and sat at the bar. Nice ambiance there. We were seated and order a couple of apps. We had wings and crab cakes. Both were delicious! We split a beef wellington, and sides of brussel sprouts, truffle mac, and extra potato puree. The chef and his team did an amazing job with our meals. This was our first time trying beef wellington. It was delicious and cooked to perfection. The brussel sprouts were so flavorful and the truffle mac was excellent. We had chocolate tart and apple butterscotch cheesecake for dessert. Typically I love the tart but wow, was the cheesecake fantastic! It's a delicious fall dessert. Try it before it's gone. I'm really pleased every time I visit Ramsay's. I'm so glad it's in the area. It's a really great restaurant, especially for special occasions!

High expectations, but was rather disappointed. I understand that places will run out of certain items. But if you choose to put a printed wine and spirit list on each table, make sure it is "somewhat" up to-date. I was told "we're out" for my first 3 selections. Finally settled on something they had. No biggie. Food was good, nothing spectacular. A $33 cheeseburger (I added bacon and subbed truffle fries, both upcharges) should be more than just "good". Service was average, apps and entrees came out quickly but cocktails took a while to make their way to the table. But the server was definitely on top of the soft drink refills for the kids. Overall, it was ok. Nothing is rush back to, which is unfortunate. I wanted to like it.

Overall a decent experience. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Steak Frites, and Beef Wellington. The Caesar was good and pancetta/soft boil egg took it over the top for me. Only issue I had was maybe this was a tiny tiny bit underdressed, some bites weee perfect others I really didn't get the full impact of the dressing. The Steak Frites to par with what I'd expect, however feel it's what you'd get anywhere. I personally did not think the beef Wellington was worth the price, although it was very good. I do think for the right person it would be worth it; that is to say, I'm probably not a Wellington person. I did not enjoy the sides that came with this. For the veggies, they seemed slightly underdone, and had more than a little bite to them. The potato purée was spread across the plate, and I guess looked nice, but what added to presentation took away from the temperature of the dish because it was just a cold potato spread by the time it got to the table. Overall I enjoyed Ramsay's Kitchen and would go back, but more likely for sandwiches, drinks, appetizers, rather than the entrees.
I took my husband to Ramsay's for his birthday. He loved it so much last year, we returned for his birthday this year. It was definitely worth the second trip. First of all, a shout-out to the hostess, who did a fantastic job managing reservations, as well as walk ins. She worked so hard to clear tables, and seat people as quickly as possible. She was just awesome! Once we were seated, our waiter Zach was great. He was attentive, without hovering, and his recommendations were spot-on. We started with the Parker rolls. I highly recommend. Next, we split the wedge salad. It was one of the best wedge salads I have ever had. The bacon on the salad was incredible. For our main, we both selected the beef wellington. It was delicious, and the potatooes were delectable. Finally, we shared the chocolate tart, which was just sweet enough. Ramsay's always delivers a memorable experience. We highly recomment Ramsay's Kitchen for a special occasion, or just a fun night out!

An unforgettable dining experience at Ramsay's Kitchen in Naperville 🍷✨ Between the incredible food, warm ambiance, and amazing service, it made it feel extra special. Can't wait to go back!
Rosa
The food was great but a bit overpriced. The service , however, was bad. We had to wait a long time to get our service and to get our food. We will come back again hoping the service will be better.
Angelina
The food is usually really good. This is the first time I didn't really like what I ordered - I had the beef Wellington this time. The beef was tender but the flavor of the filling in between the beef and pastry was not good, the potato puree was very salty but the carrots were good and tender. The RK burger and sticky chicken wings were great, though.
