I spent $320 on dinner for 2 at Gordon Ramsay Steak. It was worth the splurge, apart from one dish.

• The ambiance and tasty appetizers made us feel like we were in a high-end steakhouse.
• However, I wasn’t convinced that the steak I ordered was worth the high price.

Our server started us off with two house rolls and butter.

There’s also a triple-seared Japanese A5 steak on the menu, which was priced per ounce, but I ordered the most expensive based on the price listed on the menu.

I ordered my steak medium-rare, which the waiter recommended.

This steak was supremely tender, but not what I expected from a wagyu cut.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on steak, but I was a bit surprised when I cut into the filet. I expected more marbling.

That said, the flavor and tenderness won me over. The steak was boldly seasoned with pepper, with a beautifully seared crust that gave way to buttery meat inside.

The steak was delicious. However, for over $100, it came with no sides other than a light smearing of jus and a dollop of whole-grain mustard.

Yes, the steak did speak for itself. But I think I would have been just as happy with a 16-ounce New York strip ($79.99) or an 8-ounce filet ($69.99).

I’m not sure I would order it again, solely based on the price.

We were both too full to even consider dessert, so we opted for a pre-casino cocktail instead.

Eager to try more of the cocktails on the restaurant’s menu, we each ordered a spicy margarita to fuel us through a night of exploring Atlantic City.

The Mayahuel margarita ($17.99) was made with Patron silver tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime, passion fruit, and jalapeño. It was spicy and salty, and was the perfect end to our meal, priming us to live it up in Atlantic City.

Our meal was expensive at $320, but it was worth it. I would order a different entrée next time, though.

After tax and tip, our bill at Gordon Ramsay Steak came to $320 for two appetizers, two entrées, and four cocktails.

While that’s more than my friend and I would typically spend on dinner out, I did order one of the most expensive cuts of steak on the menu.

Next time, I’d probably opt for a cheaper cut of steak but order the same appetizers and cocktails.

While some might argue you’re paying for the name at a celebrity-branded restaurant, the food was good enough to warrant a return visit.
