| - I came to try the praised Wagyu Burger with Foie Gras and truffle. I was really hoping to be blown away, even just a little breeze, nothing. I even made a point to eat slowly so I could savor everything.
I could barely even taste the truffle, might as well have been any other minced up mushroom. This was my first time having foie gras and I still feel I didn't get the best piece, it was mostly just fat tasting (like chicken fat or any other meat fat) and there was one tiny bite where I could taste a hint of liver flavor which was good.
The meat patty itself literally tasted like average beef that anyone could cook up at home, not wagyu, not black angus, not anything. I truly felt insulted and I almost complained about it if I hadn't had a coupon to save a bit (which I purposely showed at the END of the meal so they had no way of knowing I had one earlier to maybe skimp on quality). Overall NOT worth $70 for this burger, not worth even half that much. My boyfriend had a hanger steak which I tasted and his was good quality as expected, the garlic fries that came with it were some of the best I've ever had though, that's what saved this place from 1 star.
One thing that also bugged me a bit was that the average drink glasses were the smallest I've ever seen, it was literally for a child, all I had was soda and had to wait to get multiple refills because of the tiny size. Hubert Keller, get some actual wagyu or better quality beef because people can taste the difference. No compliments to the chef.
