| - Well, I really wanted to like this place...but it was just ok. I would give it three stars, but the fact that a valet driver almost killed me on the way out really just added to my disappointment in this place, so two stars it is.
Service: We sat in the bar booths. Our waitress came by right away to take our drink order and wanted to take our food order, but we had barely looked at the menu. We told her we needed a few minutes to decide, and then she didn't come back for almost 15 minutes!
Food: I very much enjoyed my veggie burger and the order of Baltimore Fries (read: fries smothered in brown gravy). My husband, however did not enjoy his bacon and bleu burger. He ordered it medium rare and it came out well done. No pink at all. The bacon was burnt and too crispy for a burger. You could tell the bacon had just been sitting back in the kitchen. The burgers were $9 and came with a small serving of potato chips, which I thought was a fair price. The fries, however, were $5 and such a small serving! Disappointing. Also disappointing were the drinks. I ordered their take on an Old Fashioned which didn't resemble an Old Fashioned at all. It was really basically just a bourbon and ginger. And it was $10!! Man, I can go down to the Strip and get a better drink for that price. This is a burger place! In a shopping mall! $10 for a drink? Oh, and the sliders are $8 for TWO of them. Are you kidding me? This place is flat out too expensive.
Setting: If you sit in the bar booths, be very careful because the bottom of the booths are extremely raw and sharp! I was wearing skinny jeans and flat, so my ankles were exposed. At one point my ankle grazed the bottom of the booth and it hurt! I thought, "Geez, they need to sand down the edges or something." When I got home, I realized my ankle was still stinging. I looked down and there was dried blood on my ankle!! The booth freaking cut me!!
Valet: When you walk out of the restaurant, it is located right next to the valet parking lot. As my husband and I were crossing the street, a valet driver came screaming out of the lot like a bat out of hell and literally drove straight toward me, slamming on the brakes and stopping just inches from me. I am not exaggerating. I looked at him and cursed at him. He didn't respond, just slammed on the gas as soon as I stepped out of the way and then he cut off another car. What a horribe valet driver! No remorse for almost hitting me or cutting off another vehicle.
Lackluster food/drink and a near death experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if I'd go back.
