| - First Visit (Early May) I wasn't quite Impressed.
Yes the décor is funky fresh. Artsy and trendy and the service was decent (the servers were not 100% in tune to what they were serving). But the overall visit was not what I hoped.
The breakdown: I was invited by The Light Group to dine in before the club. So, there were tables of beautiful women dressed to impress but not ready to chow down wearing their club attire (me included). Deep Fried everything, and not the best samples of their burgers. (the menu was pre determined, served as a 4 course meal). It was a pleasure to be hosted by them and I would have not discovered them otherwise.
But ....
Second "chance" Visit (Late May) I was in heaven ... even if for a moment.
The breakdown: It was recovery Sunday (from Saturday night gallivanting). We all know the best hangover cure it some heavy greasy food ... so I gave it a second try. It was much more casual, with no worries of feeling full after.
There was a 40 min wait (that tells you its quite popular). but there was room at the bar which also had full service. The way they place the barstools leaves plenty of elbow room to really get down, without throwing 'bows.
I had: The Golden Standard (because I just couldn't talk myself into paying $28 for one burger "Billionaire Burger" though I was tempted). and it was delicious. Didn't even need to add a thing. no ketchup, salt, nada. It was made to perfection (medium) I chose a side of Sweet Potato Fries which were decent, but a little soggy at the end.
While I waited, I washed down a Brown Cow Float, which was basically a turnt up Rootbeer Float with "pop rocks" and it brought me back to being a kid with the rocks popping in my mouth. LOVED IT!!
I tried their Bucket of Buffalo Wings, and I liked how they didn't drench it with sauce. I enjoyed licking my fingers to that before and during my burger meal.
I guess there is a time and place for everything ... and figuring out the right moment makes a HUGE difference.
Holsteins "before" the club NO
Holsteins the day "after" DEFINITELY
