Gordon Ramsay   

This is the first American restaurant in the culinary empire of Gordon Ramsay, the celebrity British chef whose three Michelin stars for his Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in the U.K. are almost outshone by his outsized 'Hell's Kitchen' personality. The dining room, inside the London NYC Hotel, is exclusively small and requires jackets for men, while the adjacent The London Bar is more casual. Go for the Prestige Menu, a seven-course offering that might include lobster ravioli, striped bass filet with caviar veloute, and filet of corn-reared Brandt beef with braised oxtail and Bordelaise sauce. See if you can score a chef's table; it'll probably come with a complimentary F-bomb.
