Gordon Ramsay at the London

After much anticipation (2 months to be exact) Matt and I finally got to eat at Gordon Ramsay at the London.
The decor was elegant and somewhat formal... I loved the chairs! But it was also comfortable and not stuffy. Our wait staff were not only accommodating but also had low-key humor. One waiter of our was particularly memorable considering at the end of the meal, when he came around to serve us some bon bons from the trolley and after hearing how full I was, he offered to roll me out the door if necessary. He also claimed that it was his job to make our dining experience the best it could be. So despite the formal dining ambiance, it was ultimately an enjoyable experience.
