| - You have to admit, Gordon Ramsay is pretty entertaining to watch on TV. I love his passion and extreme ways and being able to see it all that on TV is just so addicting!
When the BurGR restaurant finally opened in PH, I just so happen to be staying at PH so I decided to give the place a try. While walking around some time in the hotel, this place always seems to be packed! The line sometimes stretches out to the casino. We went when it was kind of dying and didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for a table.
I really liked the concept of their restaurant. The cool presentation of the menu and setting. The Ipad featuring all their eclectic drinks and desserts. Overall, it was all pretty cool. The server was really friendly and did a wonderful job of explaining the menu and suggesting some popular items.
We tried the jalapeno popper shooters, parmesan fries, Farm Burger and Hell's Kitchen Burger. When the jalapeno popper shooters came, it was a fun little game to play while waiting for your entree. However, when the BF and I were playing russian roulette with our appetizers, when we finished all the poppers, we looked stunned at each other because we couldn't determine who had the "spicy" popper. They all tasted the same. Not hot at all! It was kind of a let down. The Farm Burger was good. Nothing too spectacular. I did however like the egg was cooked perfectly. I cut my burger in half and was able to see the yellow yolk running down. The BF's Hell's Kitchen burger was ok. It wasn't spicy at all. For an extreme chef, I'm surprised he would tone down his food that much. I would expect Chef Ramsay to produce some HOT HOT HOT food to match his HOT HOT HOT personality.
Overall, this place was ok. I'm glad I was able to try it. Seeing the menu beforehand and finally being able to try it, I was kind of disappointed that Chef Ramsay didn't deliver on his food.
