Went to Whitfield for lunch as I was waiting for a nearby shop to open.
Yes, Whitfield is comparatively pricey but that's the price you pay for hipster/boutique aesthetic being inside the Ace Hotel in an converted YMCA building. And ya, I have to admit -- the place is pretty cool. Be sure to check out the gym and grab a photobooth pic for $5.
But the food was pretty solid - I grabbed the cheeseburger ($15) and the lady got mushroom gravy and biscuits ($11). The burger was high-grade and cooked to order on a brioche bun with fried onions and some waffle chips (the potato is its highest form). The burger was excellent. Had a bite of her dish and it was good too.
Yes, trendy places like this are polarizing - but service was good and the food was reasonably priced. I can't fade it.
