On my visit, two of the servers asked me excitedly if I watched “Hell’s Kitchen” and said that most of the diners in the early weeks had responded affirmatively.
But Ramsay told the Union-Tribune in August that he believes this aural buzz adds to the excitement of the meal. Thanks to the restaurant’s tile floor and cavernous size, the noise level isn’t much quieter than the slot machine floor outside. There’s also a 2,000-bottle glass-walled wine room chilled to 53 degrees that diners can ask to be taken inside for some quick selfies. Besides the main dining room, there’s a large bar and two chef’s tables, one with eight seats and one with 11, for omakase-style dining.
