I was really, really disappointed. Nothing about this experience, save the pretty patio and the ho-hum milkshake, was good.
I started off with the Salty caramel Bourbon milkshake. It really got my hopes up that this would be a place to return to. These positive feelings were soon crushed. The bourbon was prounounced and the ice cream was good. It needed more vanillia bean flavor and more caramel. I also did not like how thin it was, but I suppose that might have something to do with the extra liquid from the Bourbon. I wish they served it in a more attractive glass with garnish, to really make me feel less of a jack ass for spending $8 on a shot and a half a milkshake.
I had the 'Kobe' burger. It was ok. It was not worth $13, considering it did not come with fries. The patty was well formed and the burger did have good structural integrity. I ordered it rare (if it's real American Wagyu it should be eaten as close to raw as possible) and it made me sad. the meat was really unevenly cooked. Parts of it were well done and others were more towards medium. Unacceptable. The toppings were nothing to write home about.
The boyfriend had the short rib burger. It was even worse than mine. The patty was poorly formed and started to fall apart as soon as he started to eat it. He ordered it medium rare, but there was no pink to be found. There was a quarter sized dollop of actual rib meat. It was flavorful but it did not make up for how shitty the rest of it was.
We split an order of the chips and 'crack sauce'. I'm not sure they make the ships in house, but if they do, they had been sitting way too long. I suspect they are actually DRRTY brand chips that they have the gaul to pour in a bowl and serve me for $5. The sauce was a joke. It's caned cheese sauce like you would get on nachos at a baseball game with some canned peppers thrown it. It was offensive to my palate and my sensibilities.
Severs/hosts in Pittsburgh must not smile. It's been a running theme. I am baffled. It's like they are actively trying to not be tipped.
I would not go back. I wouldn't have minded the prices if the food had been even passable.
