| - Disappointing. We went there for my son's 7th birthday, three of us. My son loves the Korean chicken but he dislikes spices and wants only cheese and ketchup, so what does that tell you? First off, the set up is silly. There are four-tops all down one side, but right in the center is a big, family-style table that they don't use as family style. It has benches and seats about 12 or 14. We sat there by ourselves and when it got busy, the staff (which was one person at the front of house) had people waiting for a table. They were surprised when we offered to share.
The menu looks great - tons of different game burgers, fish, fowl. Aside from the chicken, we ordered the miso duck burger and the daily special, which sounded like a pork extravaganza. Was supposed to be a pork burger with bacon, pulled pork and other goodies. It was dry - imagine all that pork fat and it's dry. It should have been dripping with pulled pork but it looked just like a medium sized burger. Presentation was boring - wasn't an open bun with pork everywhere, just a flattish burger with little flavor. The miso duck burger was too finely ground. It had a mushy mouth feel, no detectable taste of miso, three little strips of limp cabbage that was supposed to be pickled, and no discernable sauce. The fries are duck fat garlic fries according to the menu, and they were tasty but no garlic to speak of. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious but likely microwaved, and the funnel cake fries were greasy, but again they made my 7 yr old happy. Lots of good beers including local Brock Street on tap. The diet coke was flat. It turned out they had coke zero and knew there were problems with the diet tap. The coke zero was fine, so there's that.
When the server asked during the meal what I thought of the duck, I told her but I ate it and didn't expect anything in consideration. I hadn't been a dick about it - just said it could be any sort of meat, lacking in both duck and miso flavor. When she brought the bill, she had taken half the cost of the duck burger off, which we appreciated. At that point, I told her as kindly as I could, making it clear we weren't looking for a discount but thought they might want the feedback, that the pork special was dry. She informed us that everybody else loved it. So, good for them I guess.
It ain't cheap, either. Burgers up to about $16 and that's a la carte. Fries are extra. We had three burgers, two orders of fries, one draft beer, two soft drinks and two desserts. With half off the duck burger, bill was about $70. Remember, we're talking about burgers here.
Won't go back. Shame because the menu makes the burgers sound fantastic.
