My partner and I spent $120 to dine at Gordon Ramsay Burger in Boston.

My partner and I spent $120 at Gordon Ramsay's burger restaurant in downtown Boston.
We both enjoyed our burgers, and also ordered appetizers and dessert.
Overall, the meal was a bit pricey, but I'd definitely eat at the restaurant again.
From Hell's Kitchen to Gordon Ramsay Steak, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has amassed an impressive line of chain restaurants around the world.
Back in December, my partner and I headed to the chef's upscale burger joint in downtown Boston with a simple mission: to decide if a meal there is worth the price.
I'll admit it: I'm always skeptical of a chain restaurant, even one with such a powerful name behind it. But sometimes, there's nothing like a good burger.
Here's what our experience was like.
We arrived right on time and were seated promptly.When we arrived, the restaurant felt busy, but it wasn't crowded.

When we arrived at the restaurant on a Monday night for dinner, we were seated promptly. Gordon Ramsay Burger has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, which made for some cozy people watching.
The restaurant felt busy, but wasn't crowded. It took us a little while to be waited on, so we ordered our drinks and apps simultaneously.
The appetizers came out before our drinks.We ordered the street corn dip and New England clam chowder.
Natalie Gale
I knew the minute I saw the appetizer menu that I'd want the street corn dip ($13), which came with tortilla chips. It was difficult not to fill up on the cheesy corn dip before my burger.
We also tried the New England clam chowder ($10). Thick and creamy, the chowder's clams were chopped smaller than usual, and it (unconventionally) had bits of bacon, too.
Although the flavor was delicious, my partner and I are something of chowder purists, so we probably wouldn't order it again.
Our drinks paired nicely with the street corn dip.I ordered the Caballo Blanco cocktail and my partner had a beer.
Natalie Gale
To drink, my partner ordered the seasonal Harpoon beer ($8) that was on draft.
I went for the Caballo Blanco cocktail ($19), which was made with tequila, fresh lime, Angostura bitters, ginger, and pineapple. Sweet and strong, my drink paired well with the street corn dip.
We both ordered burgers as our entrées.I ordered the Idiot Burger.
Natalie Gale
For my entree, I chose the Idiot Burger ($20) — a smash burger topped with short rib, Gruyere, cheddar, and roasted mushrooms. It also had a spicy tomato chutney and came on a soft and squishy sesame seed bun.
Although it was meatier than the meals I usually go for, I loved it.
My partner ordered the Hell's Kitchen Burger ($19) with applewood-smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, Sriracha aioli, tomato-jalapeño jam, and mashed avocado.
We both agreed this burger was a little too salty — but other than that, it was a solid take on a bacon cheeseburger.
We also ordered a side of truffle fries.One order of fries was plenty for the two of us.
Natalie Gale
None of the burgers on the menu come with a side, so we ordered a plate of truffle fries ($12).
Fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and covered in shredded Parmesan, these were top-tier. One order of fries was more than enough for the two of us.
For dessert, we ordered a milkshake to share.We ordered the Oreo crème brûlée milkshake.
Natalie Gale
The dessert menu has some tempting, classic options — namely a chocolate brownie sundae and a cookie skillet — that we were too full to consider. Lighter dessert selections included a root beer float and some milkshakes.
We ordered the Oreo crème brûlée shake ($10), which was just as delicious as it sounds.
The classic shake flavor was elevated with a swirl of crème brûlée pudding and topped with whipped cream. Despite our huge burgers, it wasn't exactly hard to finish.
Aside from a few drawbacks, we thought our $120 meal was worth the price.I'd definitely eat at Gordon Ramsay Burger again.
Natalie Gale
Overall, for the location and the amount of food we got, we were pleased with our $120 meal, which was the price before we added a tip. If I wanted to save some money, I'd probably skip the appetizers next time.
The only downside was that we had to flag down our server a few times. Although this wasn't ideal, it didn't negatively impact our experience.
Since Gordon Ramsay Burger has locations in other cities like Las Vegas, Chicago, and Vancouver, I'd consider it a fun, reliable spot to go if I didn't know anything about an area's food scene.
I'd also return to the Boston location if I was in the area and craving a good burger.
