| - All in all, a little disappointing. The wait was the first turn off, should have made reservations. No biggie. Anyway, had the hell's kitchen burger. The ingredients were high quality, delicious and unique for a burger. All in all, the menu is actually awesome, however, I would say the restaurant has a lack of proper execution of these great ideas and the littlest mistakes can ruin your experience there. I ordered my burger "medium-well" and well, it came out RAW in the middle. Like the burger was seared. Like i said, the burger was tasty and well thought out to be flavorful. But when you can't even cook a burger to temperature, you ruined the whole dam thing. I ended up eating the raw burger anyway since I was starving and didn't want to wait 25 minutes for another burger. The burger meat was excellent though and you can tell it is ground in house, which put me at ease (a little) about possibly ingesting e-coli. The fries, once again...Great flavors, great side sauces...fries were soggy, old and actually could have been more crispy. Execution failed again. The onion rings were the best part of the meal actually. Fried perfectly, very delicious dipping sauces. So my biggest takeaway from this place is, why is everything rushed?? I know you're busy and this is a strip hotel...but I'm paying quite a bit for a burger and fries ($35 for fries, burger, beer) I expect that burger to be cooked perfectly. I'm paying "perfection prices" and i deserve nothing short of that. All in all, its a trendy las vegas restaurant that has fallen victim to the almighty dollar and "turn-n-burn" service. I am now fully convinced that the best burgers on earth are the ones from your backyard grill, not some celebrity charging an arm and a leg for a half assed burger. Or if you're in the area, go to crown and anchor British pub, order their burger at a 1/3 the price. Oh and yes they know how to cook meat to temperature ;-)
