Reviewing JAMIE OLIVER'S NEW RESTAURANT - Shocking/Surprising! 

So polite of you not to film when others were close by. How considerate. Thanks Gary xx

It's really nice to see a foodie RU-vidr who doesn't make a fuss about things like the sauce being forgotten. Always a pleasant experience watching you

Gary: professional, no drama, considerate, humble, and relateable 👍

Very respectful of you to stop the filming, probably didn’t need to, but shows how conscientious you both are, you could see at times how hard ‘The Cameraman’ was working to try and avoid filming others.

Possibly one of the most professional food reviews ive watched this year! Superb! 👏

He didn't pay his staff when his old chain went bankrupt, but he managed to filter out a few million for himself in the weeks leading upto the bankruptcy.

You're such a lovely bloke, not wanting to disturb the other guests. It's also nice to hear positive comments about Jamie Oliver for a change 😊

Love this! Thank you for the review. We are glad you had a good time.

I'm with Marco Pierre White when it comes these celeb restaurants, when he says that if the chef whose name is over the door and is not making the food in the kitchen, then stay away!

The classiest food reviewer in the game, Gary makes me feel like a distinguished gentleman as I watch this while eating my frozen dinner.

Within the industry Jamie was just a celebrity cook that was made big on TV. Many years ago I trained under a chef that made his own mark. He once told me, don't chase accolades and fame, just cook with passion. He said you could have all the AA rosettes and Michellin stars, but if your restaurant is empty everyday it means nothing in the end! It stuck with me. I was working at a small B&B in the New Forest called Gordelton Mill, and my chef was Jean Christoph Novelli. I just hope and pray that Jamie Oliver has the same humility now. It's a great review Gary, let's hope Jamie is not distracted by Sainsbury's ads or children's school meals, and a little more present and focused this time on his restaurant.

It's like listening to your best mate. One of the best food reviewers on RU-vid.

Another great review. Sadly, I won’t visit this establishment simply because of the way Jamie Oliver left his suppliers and staff high and dry when his empire collapsed. He should have been made to pay what he owed before being allowed to start up another business. Just morally wrong in my humble opinion. x

That was very considerate and respectful of you to sacrifice part of your review out of concern you might disturb your fellow diners. Perhaps it wouldn't have but you went with what felt right by your principles and that's what counts. That's one of the why you have so many of us loyal followers. We come for the food reviews, stay for the warmth, humour and gentlemanly conduct! All the best to you as always Gary.

That meal was screaming out for a bottle of wine from start to finish. 😋

When Jamie announced it, I was curious to see what it would be like and so I’m pleased that you’ve given us an insight now Gary. Another great review!

I've watched him over the years and I'd never class him as a Chef, He's a cook. Another venue where customers will expect him to be in the kitchen, yes, but he'd be washing pots whilst earning a fortune it's the actual team in the kitchen that deserve any praise including the servers.

I went with my partner to a Jamie Oliver restaurant in Newcastle a few years ago (it's been a couple of different things since), and the experience was mediocre at best, particularly relative to the amount we paid. It's good to see that this restaurant at least appears to buck the trend, so maybe we'll see some more pop back up! Great video as always, just what we need in these trying times... honest, entertaining, wholesome content. Thank you!

Reminds of regional TV from back in the day when we used to welcome the TV presenters into homes and it felt like having old friends round. Lots of good things with the channel but what stands out the most is that Gary is a genuinely nice guy.

One of the most proper, honest and real food review channels I have subscribed to. Very fair, inspite of some restaurant owners having an infamous rep. This is a gem of a food review channel in YoutTube. Keep on keeping on! 😊

GARY MY SISTER WORKED IN A JAMIE OLIVER RESTAURANT TWO WEEKS BEFORE IT WENT BUST THEY WERE GIVEN PROMISES THEY WOULD BE PAID NEVER RECEIVED ONE PENNY LATER IT WAS REVEALED HE TOOK MONEY FROM THE RESTAURANT CHAIN LEAVING THE STAFF HIGH AND DRY

I might be unpopular in saying this because it seems like many in the UK feel differently about Jamie, but I always enjoyed his very quick and simple way of putting a meal together. I am a bit wary of any restaurant owned by a celebrity though, so thank you for being a guinea pig today!

Glad to here he's sorted his act out, went to Jamie's embassy rooms in Edinburgh ,beyond dreadful , as always great video. Love to all ,,keep them coming

Great review and video again Gary, as a person that suffers from anxiety for a reason I never have known, your content voice and down to earthiness really relaxes me and and grounds me, Thankyou and keep up the good work. I for one appreciate it.

Love this channel! Though always makes me laugh when virtually every single time Gary turns to run towards the restaurant someone appears out of no-where and gets in the way 🤣

Maybe jamie should pay the money he owes from all the wrongs he done . Not paying suppliers , not paying some of his staff when he left everything in limbo.. bankrupt they said... funny how he has a new restaurant in UK...and several outside of UK.. he done wrong and I'm afraid it will never wash well .. he really doesn't deserve good scores

A great review Gary and I love how considerate you are to those around you.

Another great video and review Gsry. You are a very considerate diner which is a great reflection of you as a person and is why your channel is so well liked. Always looking forward to your next video. Have a great week

That's my kind of food, simple, top quality ingredients, no frills; I could eat that all day. Well done Gary, you and Mr Cameraman are the best channel on RU-vid, I love it. 😘

Nothing warms my heart more than a new gary upload. God bless x

Thanks Gary and Cameraman, Another calm, professional and thoroughly enjoyable review. I went to one of Jamies failed Italian restaurants in St Albans once and it was over price, the service was poor, and the food was mediocre. We never went back. This venture looks like he's learned a lesson or two from the past.

Straight to the point respectful and most of all trust your honest reviews. Love watching you.❤

That steak had a great colour and good camera work from your son Gary 👍one of the reasons why your channel is successful is because you are very respectful, look forward to the next one, take care, Gareth

Great to see you again Gary 😁 can't wait for this one !

Yum! Love the straight forward menu. Simple and food looks delicious. Stunning interiors as well. Regardless of all the drama of his past. This place is worth the visit IMO. Great review Gary as always.

As usual, another great review. Thank you, Gary! I’ve been to the Jamie Oliver restaurant at Gatwick and it was absolutely dreadful. Let’s hope this one continues to keep up with the good work! Going to google the menu now…

This British weather - who’d think it was July and we are wearing raincoats and jumpers - hopefully we’ll have and Indian summer - in December 😂😂😂

I love this video and all of your videos.. honest reviews and also that you gave the server a mention and had the decency to respect other diners shows the kind of person you are!! AWESOME!

As always Gary, a thoroughly entertaining video. Your thoughts and experience of the starter have inspired me to try making something similar. I love the diversity of your videos, and they always make me hungry!! Thanks!!

Thank you Gary! Love your honest and respectfull reviews.

as a waiter, I loved this one particularly!

Uncle Roger won’t be happy you’ve come here! 😂😂 At least I didn’t see any chilli jam!

I love the channel Gary excellent content I enjoy how you try many places from as around the UK and you give a honest review excellent thank you

Jamie Olive's in Perth when it opened, was a queue around the block venue, Initially. Then all the comments came out how jammed in the venue was and how you paid top dollar for sub-par spag bog. People are not stupid, and everyone knows pasta is the cheapest food you can make. Perth is the richest city in Australia and we will give it a go, but if it's bullshit we walk away very quickly.

Lovely to see you again Gary!Always happy when you enjoy your meal!😊

Can't say I felt inspired to want to visit but for what it is: the location, price-point, etc., it looks like Jamie got it right here, I just hope he doesn't succumb to previous temptation and franchise it to death (and remembers to pay his staff this time)..

Glad you enjoyed eating at Jamie Oliver's restaurant. a real absolutely class video Gary, and your such a great presenter of this.

Simple cooking is the hardest to do in a way - there's nothing to hide behind if you don't do it properly. This all looked very delicious! Great review and sublime good manners toward your fellow diners. Also, great work from the staff. Errors happen - it's about how they're handled. 😊

As always great video! Thanks for being a good human. Need more of you in this world these days 😊

Another great video! It's good to see Jamie is doing well. I used to go his "chain," restaurant a lot and always thought the food was good quality and great value. I'll be visiting this, thanks to your review!

Always upbeat and detailed review… well done, Gary. 👍🏻

The demise of Jamie Oliver’s restaurant empire didn’t surprise me. I went to 3 and they were all bad. I had to send my steak back at the one in Shepherd’s Bush! Very sensible of him to focus on fewer outlets and get the quality control right.

You can’t argue with that.. good food good service good price fantastic location 👍

Hi Gary, I remember visiting a Jamie Oliver restaurant back in 2015, in central London. I'm sure it has long closed now & was part of his old chain. It was a very average meal for well over £200 for two of us. I've never thought much of Jamie Oliver to be honest & I know he had scandals around not paying suppliers & staff, but most importantly, this is a "Gary Eats" review & my favourite RU-vid channel, so let's give it a go! ☺️ Your son did lovely shots there at the start of the video & the restaurant is beautiful. The food looked pretty good, simple presentation but nicely done. I know it can be difficult to film when you're sitting inside & a restaurant is getting busier, but you did a great job & you're careful not to interrupt other people, which is very much to you & the camera man's credit. Excellent quality review & you gave a fantastic description for each of the dishes. A score of 8.5 seemed bang on, based on what you said & how the meal looked on screen. Take care Gary & look forward to the next one. 💙

Garry you are such a fair reviewer and always a gentlemen. You always try to find a positive, in what is often a very negative experience. You are a top guy. Thank you for presenting really interesting vlogs.

Another great video Gary. Well done mate. Really enjoy watching your channel 😀

A Sunday evening treat!!! As always cheers and thanks again Gary!! Stephen.

Hi Gary I hope you’re having a great day…it About time one of our so called celebrity chefs got it right this time as some shamefully don’t and the Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in covent garden looked beautiful and that was a beautifully cooked steak I must admit it looked like a fantastic restaurant Gary and you expect high prices in Covent Garden don’t you and i must say that you have given us another great review and you were so nice to the staff for forgetting your sauce and my favourite sauce is definitely HP lol.. Can’t wait for your next foodie adventure always look forward to it..take care Gary..😊

As always you are a gentleman! It was very considerate of you to do the review of the dessert outside. I am glad you enjoyed your meal and I think it’s a very fair review. It seems simple and quality for the price for a London celebrity restaurant. Thanks for taking the time to film and share!

you are like a force of positive vibes, which I (new subscriber) truly enjoy. This channel is very valuable when it comes to getting ideas what food and restaurants to try when visiting the UK (and ireland). As it is, I'd die to see you review restaurants in places that are a tourist destination for *you* as well. So, save some of the tenthousands you make with YT by now and go places! Thanks for your great content.

I love it that with each vid your going up a few thousand subs 😃😃😃😃😃won’t be long tell you and your son reach another milestone stone .

Awesome review as per normal keep up the great work Gary

New to the channel but I have to say, absolutely loving the channel. Great content. Keep it up Gary and stay well 👍🏻

Well if your a limited company you can rip as many people off as you want and not liable only company assets.

Went to Jamie Italian in Oxford soon after it first opened. And it was the first one, if I remember correctly. The restaurant was so noisy from echoing because the floor was bare boards. The food was so salty it was almost impossible to eat. The price was about 15% more than Ask but the food was better at Ask.

Another great and thoughtful review great work

I think this is the first time I've heard good things related to anything James Oliver. I'm surprised! Also, never apologize for being a considerated person a not bothering the other patrons. It's honestly refreshing to see that.

you are a good man gary, kind and thoughtful ❤

Not so bothered about the pudding - but the starter and main course looked very good. The toast was kind-of like melba toast from the 70s...which isn't a bad thing!

Gary, thank you very much for your review. Smashing!

As someone else commented Gary “you can’t hide with simplicity”. I loved the clean simplicity and quality. You said the cooking was ace so what more can you ask for. 🤔😊 Jaimies character and ethics aside, I have always loved his peasant approach to food 👍🏾😊

TBH i would not even rate Oliver as a Chef ,Just a man that cooks food along with the rest of them nowadays ,Gone are the days of Keith Floyd

First rate review, which would certainly encourage me to go and try it. The commentaries from some are worrying, not least because firstly, it isn't possible to verify the accuracy of some, and secondly, because the clear animosities are common currency in celebrity circles, but all you can do - and I'd say SHOULD do - is review your own personal experience and be the judge of that. These staff, here today, are the ones who cooked and served you, and they're the ones who deserve the positive review.

Another great video Review Gary thanks for sharing 😊

Hi Gary, just want to congratulate you on 100k subscribers! Amazing milestone. Your hard work and consistency has paid off. Do you remember me predicting you to have 100k by May this year? I wasnt far off!!!! Well done to you and cameraman. Road to 250k now Best, John

That meal looked so delicious Gary so polite as usual Really enjoyed this video

congratulations on hitting 100k subs Gary, much deserved ❤

Nice review, just got home from hospital and slowly catching up on your videos, thanks Gary and son 😀

Great content as usual guys simply love this channel ❤

He worked at the famous river cafe years ago Gary never been a fan of his really. Great review as always mate 👍🏻😁

Some of the comments are really interesting. Clearly, we all have different opinions. For the west end and very nice surroundings, it looked like great value to me. I like Jamie, he has a social conscience, and he works incredibly hard. I doubt he was anywhere near the kitchen, but he will be trying to ensure standards are kept. He doesn't do tasting menus or fancy stuff, but he has a fantastic pallet and understanding of flavours. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let's hope he doesn't try to do a big chain of these because that's when it really gets hard to control and keep up standards. Good review though, thanks

Another great honest review... great work Gary.

Thank you Gary for yet another great food experience you have shared with us

great upload - personally won't give Oliver any of my patronage because of his past behaviours when going bust.

I worked in that building before it was sold to Andrew Lloyd Webber and converted into flats, an office for the theatre and now Jamie’s restaurant. The building had many mice problems over the years - I doubt that they’ve managed to deal with them now it’s a restaurant…

Great review really enjoyed Thanks for all your hard work regards Greg

Thanks once again Gary for your thoughts and guidance and recommendations. Looks like you had some great food in beautiful surroundings 👍👍

Perhaps a more exciting name could be ‘Jamie’s restaurant built from the tears of my shafted staff’😂 can’t get the fact that after his chain went bankrupt owing small business and staff, him and his wife were showing off his new huge mansion in a magazine shoot. Tasteless at best. Another fine vid though Gary

Hi Gary, good review nothing wrong with simple food cooked well in a lovely restaurant. I was a fan of Jamies when he first started and I went to his restaurant in the gentlemans club early 90s, really enjoyed. We had Jamies Italian here in Sydney and it started off being a good reliable place to eat before it went down hill. Bit like so many on the comments so disappointed that when he closed he left so many staff and suppliers out of pocket, whilst he still has his mansions. It stinks Jamie, its about having integrity and pulling the pin before it gets to that stage. As we say it wouldn't pass the pub test.Good review Gary and love your consideration for fellow diners.

Really do like the bohemian feeling of the restaurant garden. Well done Jamie Oliver! Bearnaise sauce is actually my favorite steak sauce. As always, brilliant Mr Gary & the Cameraman ✨👍🏼

Great Episode Gary looking forward to next one !

Massive congrats on how quickly your channel has exploded - absolutely deserved! I just hope we get to see a Gary Eats restaurant guidebook in the not-too-distant future!

cooking rump can go south really quickly that looked beautiful

That was exceptional quality all round Gary. Loved the restaurant, ambiance and attentive staff. Very nice and agree with you score. Many thanks for sharing with us, on this Sunday evening. Much appreciated 👍👍👍

Another good video, Gary, as usual. My favourite steak sauce is either Jack Daniels BBQ glaze or Diane Sauce. Beautiful.

It's funny to me because here in Spain that starter (Ham off the bone, crispy olive drizzled tostado and some olives) would be a 2 Euro tapas plate at any farmers cafe bar. Also, IMHO, steak should be naked...no sauce for me

Always the considerate Gentleman. I was shocked ... the food was great ... I thought it would be a bit rubbish. The restaurant was stunning. The service top class. All in all, for where you were, not a bad price either.

I love that you give the staff a mention on your reviews, and even add a name where you’ve gotten good individual attention from a server, so many forget these places and their lovely fare don’t happen without good staff. Another excellent review

Gary, your review of Jamie's restaurant was very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was especially pleased to see the high all-round quality of this restaurant as Jamie is one of my favourite celebrity chefs. Kudos Jamie and greetings from Australia. Thank you Gary and look forward to your next review.

Gary, another lovely review and good to see that celebrity-owned restaurants can sometimes surprise on the good side. I've not eaten for two days owing to a self-inflicted foot injury whilst in London, so I may now try and hobble to my kitchen and cobble something together to eat! 😋
