| - I heard such amazing things about this place and then was underwhelmed...sad face. Maybe I put too much anticipation into the restaurant.
The menu is small, and all of the burgers sound delicious. I got the Classic, but when it arrived, I was surprised at the size of the burger (read: small). Having been to Bachi Burger and Burger Bar and even Yard House, for the $12 price tag of the Umami Burger, I was expecting a nice, huge, messy burger. But it was about the size of a McDonald's double cheeseburger. Worse, my burger was dry and flavorless. My husband got a burger with beer cheese, bacon, and all sorts of stuff on it, and that one in contrast did have a lot of flavor.
And then came the fries. When you order "smothered fries" you expect them to be SMOTHERED. What we got was a little bit of gravy in the middle of the bowl and dry short rib on top of that. I mean...put the gravy on top of the short rib to keep it moist. It was hardly smothered in anything.
Things I did love: the patio has great misters and a great environment, our waitress was wonderful and perky and attentive, and the jalapeno ranch. Oh damn that jalapeno ranch is good.
One last note. I ended up getting a tequila based cocktail for $13 (yes, that's right, the cocktail was more expensive than the burger). When we went next door to The Sayers Club, the EXACT SAME cocktail was $18. As a whole, I think the SLS hotel has the most expensive drinks on The Strip, and I was shocked at the mark up from one restaurant to the lounge just next door.
