| - One if by land, two if by sea. Sunday, January 27th, 2013 was the day of the British Invasion, the day Gordon Ramsay would take Vegas by storm. I decided this would be the ideal day to give BurGR another chance. Let me tell you, the British must have come by sea, because two was the magic number.
The following is the review of BurGR that should have been penned the first time.
Carved between separate halls of bustling casino exists a whimsically designed yet decidedly masculine cafe. The eatery is home to the applewood grill and culinary delights of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, a fact that cannot be forgotten due to the grand scale of pictorial homage. Seated in the restaurant one cannot help but be reminded of a subtle cross between Hell's Kitchen and The F-Word.
The drink menu comes via Ramsay's staple iPad, there is a wide array of potables from the tabs of the tablet. But since in Ramsay's restaurant, I decided to sample his favorite brew, Innis and Gunn a Scottish style ale aged in re-coopered barrels from alternating rum/whiskey sources. The taste is sublime and soon our starter plate of hummus arrives to accompany the beer. Ramsay's salt and pepper hummus is a little more garlic and salt than pepper but the bread is warm and fresh and the vegetable offerings conduct the hummus into a symphony for the palate.
Next up, the Hell's Kitchen and Uber Cheese burgers arrive at the table. The medium-rare temperature is a little more like medium but the patties have not lost their flavor. The grilled jalapeno, avocado, and tomato team up on the Hell's Kitchen and complete their dinner service in style. The Uber Cheese has three different types and styles of cheese together, from fontina to goat the cheese is undoubtedly the star of this burger. Lost or overpowered are any subtlety in the cooking process, all that is left is a delicious sandwich fit for anyone braving the treacherous days and nights of Las Vegas. The "Just Fries" are as billed, they come accompanied with Chipotle ketchup and Curry ketchup that are both made in house.
The dessert menu is simple as is most of the menu really. You can have your choice of flavor of pudding milkshake, or sticky toffee pudding push-pops which arrived at our table only moments after the burgers had been cleared. The push-pop is a novel and flavorful package for sticky toffee pudding. The salted peanut ice cream is devine and is a perfect mate for the sweet toffee pudding layers.
The most impressive piece of BurGR is not the decor, the location or even the food or drinks. Ramsay has nailed the service experience at BurGR. The servers are eager and knowledgeable. They are impeccably dressed in GR labelled gear. The hostess stand is state of the art with iPads and text message table notification. The manager stopped by our table and was friendly and gracious. This level of quality experience may be what sets this "burger joint" apart from all other "burger joints" in Vegas.
Well Done
