Was walking around Miracle Mile in Planet Hollywood. Saw the line and the thought how delicious a burger would sound.
CHANTER BURGR ($16)
- Basically a mushroom with arugula burger
- great presentation of the burger
- large and looked delicious
- the first bite wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be
- the burger itself wasn't too juicy and didn't have that strong of a flavor
- the mushrooms and arugula added a bit more flavor but not enough to compensate for the meat
- overall the burger was decent but didn't feel like the $16 was worth it
- I wasn't the only one that felt that way; a lady that was waiting at the slots next to be said she could get 5 burgers at Carl's Jr for the same price and would be a lot more satisfied! I wouldn't go that far but I could definitely get a better tasting burger at The Counter.
SWEET POTATO FRIES ($9)
- topped with powdered sugar served with a honey aioli
- they were a bit soggy but still delicious
- I would still order again but I do like some sweet potatoes
SERVICE: decent but could be better. Initially the service was good. The waitress took my to-go order at the counter and gave me an estimated time of 25 minutes. After about 35 minutes I came back to check on my food and it still wasn't ready. It wasn't until the waitress went into the kitchen after I waited another 5 minutes that the food was done. I never got the text message, well because my food wasn't ready at the allotted time anyway.
ENVIRONMENT: Great. The outside of the restaurant is very modern and hip. Even the menus are awesome.There is a bar area and the main dining room area. Everyone seems so jovial and happy to be there. As you line up into the restaurant there is interactive menu as well as fake flames to make the food seem even more delicious.
Overall, I'm not taken aback by any of the 2 Gordon Ramsay (The London in West Hollywood and BurGR). The meals are decent but nothing that I would recommend people to. The burgers sound delicious on paper but aren't too special other than the great presentation. I would be coming back as I'm sure I can get other meals in Vegas at the same price and be completely satisfied.
