The London hotel in Midtown is shuttering the high-end Gordon Ramsay restauarant there, with plans to serve its last dinner Saturday.  Maze by Gordon Ramsay, the casual dining alternative at the hotel, will remain open, as will The London Bar.  "We're closing fully to reflect the more casual dining style preferred by the guests. They really are demanding more of a casual dining setting, more of a casual dining scene," Amanda Duff, a spokeswoman for the hotel, told Eater.  Ramsay’s camp fired back, telling the Daily News they had had trouble working with the hotel.  “We are heavily involved with all our restaurants and partners around the world with the exception of The London, who unfortunately rarely cooperate or communicate with us,” Ramsay’s spokesperson told the News. “It’s disappointing that they have taken this decision but we believe the dining experience they’ve been offering lately has not been the standard expected by us or our customers when they dine at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.‎ As always, the door remains open for them to engage with us in a meaningful way.”  The restaurant, which opened in 2006 once held two Michelin stars, but later lost them. The "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Masterchef" star sold the restaurant to The London in 2009 and was not involved in day-to-day operations after that, according to Eater.  As one venture in the tri-state area closes, Ramsay has another in the works. Last month he announced plans to open Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesar's casino in Atlantic City in early 2015.
Gordon Ramsay at The London started in 2006 and held a two-star Michelin rating before losing them. The Chef’s team says the food being served at the hotel was not up to the Ramsay’s standards.
