| - Our party of 3 went to Gordon Ramsay BurGR at 6pm on a Wednesday night. A Wednesday night while CES was going on and the prelims for Miss America were taking place inside Planet Hollywood. I've began this review with this particular info to emphasize that there was no wait for seating even though there were special events going on in town. It may be due to the rather large dining area or maybe we were just lucky, in either case, we were seated immediately.
Our server came over and introduced herself and then placed an ipad on the table and explained how we can look at the alcoholic drink selections, see pictures and read ingredients. Pretty cool little feature.
We ordered two American burgers and one Britannia burger, Just fries, Sweet Potato fries and Beer Battered Maui Onion rings plus our guys both ordered beer while I stayed with lemonade.
We had a longer than usual wait for burgers but our conversation flowed along and with the Miss America prelims going on, there was no shortage of pretty girls coming into the restaurant. That doesn't have anything to do with the food but it added to the experience :)
The manager herself delivered our drinks, introduced herself, explained they had only been open 3 weeks and wanted to make sure everything was up to par.
Our food was delivered by three servers. Each server took special care to place our orders so the BurGR logo on the plates was facing us. The burgers were on fancy squarish plates with wavy rims, the fries were delivered in huge cones with their respective sauces in holders on the base. The sweet potato fries came with extra powdered sugar in a shaker on the side.
Presentation is key and the burger by itself sitting on that pretty white plate was certainly an "eat with your eyes" moment!
I cut my burger in half and it was cooked medium rare exactly as ordered. The bun.... oh my goodness THE BUN! Nice fluffy brioche bun, buttery, crispy crust, light dusting of sesame seeds - I'd go back for that bun alone!
The cheddar cheese was melted and oozing, lots of arugula added a nice crunch and the mango chutney was a perfect compliment.
The sweet potato fries had a side of honey jalapeno mayo which I eventually dabbed onto a bit of burger just to see . . . . yep, that works too! It was sweet, not spicy and just delicious!
Our guys proclaimed their burgers as "really good" but they though the Just Fries were just that. Nothing spectacular and not that good. The Maui onion rings mostly went untouched. Not sure what was wrong with them but they weren't that good. Certainly not worth the $8.00 price tag. The accompanying chipotle ketchup and cheddar ranch dip were both a bit too weird for our guys.
So, at the end of the meal, the burger plates were cleaned completely, the sweet potato fries had just a few little pieces left, the Just Fries were almost completely gone and the Maui onion rings were 90 % still in their cone.
Once our dinner plates were cleared, our server returned with the ipad and the dessert offerings. As much as I wanted a Toffee pudding push up pop, I was just too full. Next time, I promise.
Our bill with 5 beers was about $110.00 before tip. The check or the (cheque) was presented in a black folder with an Apple ipod Touch inside. Once the check number was entered, the ipod offered a survey on the dining experience.
One downside to the experience was the repeated visits (interruptions) by servers to check on us. Yes, I know this is a new place and they want to make sure all is going well but it isn't necessary to ask us 4 times if our burgers are okay. Please let us enjoy our meal.
We left at about 8:30 pm and there was a line at the door waiting to be seated. Maybe earlier is better?
All in all, I personally was thrilled and will go back again. My husband says while he enjoyed it, he still prefers Grind over on E Tropicana but he will surely join me on a return trip..
