Overpriced but yummy
Very romantic setting in this restaurant, I liked it. The servers and bartenders and very friendly and very efficient. I ordered the veggie sandwich with a cup of tomato soup. The tomato soup was pretty thick with chunks of tomatoes, I'm more a fan of creamy tomato soups with my sandwiches. The mushroom, onion, and arugula sandwich came on a hamburger bun but was very delicious. My boyfriend ordered the number one with fries and devoured it. I tried it, it was pretty good with onions, bacon, arugula, and 1000 island dressing. It's messy though. Beware. The fries were crispy shoestrings. Yumm. Prices are a tad high for burgers but they're huge.
You have to try their spiked milkshakes. So so good.
I'd admit, by the time I took my first bite here, I was pretty ravenous. Â Regardless, I was seriously impressed with the flavors in my No. 1 burger.
I ordered it medium well as ground beef generally makes me nervous. Â The level of done-ness was perfect vis-a-vis juiciness. Â I actually found this to be a superior burger to the one at Au Cheval.
It does tend to start sogging up in the wrapper, so eat it like it's going out of style-- fast and furious!
The sweet potato fries were delicious, but basically on par with any other sweet potato fry. Â I enjoyed the cute little to-go carton it was served with.
Ambiance-wise it's super loud. Â Sadly, my friend and I were not imbibing in the bottomless mimosas, bellinis, or bloody marys. Â If we had been, perhaps the need to yell at each other wouldn't have seemed as laborious.
Overall, worth coming in for a burger if you're in the neighborhood.
