| - So, popped in to the Burger Bar for brulunch today with a couple friends (first pedestrian day of the year at Kensington, huzzah!).
Gotta say, a mixed experience. I will be back, however, and expect the next experience will be a good one. These guys are still pretty new, and they're figuring stuff out. Great foundation, and I expect some serious improvements. Anyway, on to the review:
I got the steak and eggs with a couple pints of Augusta Ale. Friends each had the breakfast burger; one had ale so I didn't drink alone, other had coffee.
So, here we go!
The eggs: Damn fine eggs. I asked for over medium, I got over medium. Nicely fried, juuuust salty without overdoing it, and some kind of background spice I couldn't quite pinpoint. It was good, though!
The fries: sweet potato fries that could give lessons in awesome to all the posers out there. These were serious contenders for the title of "best sweet potato fries I've ever had". Was that cinnamon I detected? Sweet!
The steak: erm. Ordered medium rare, arrived closer to medium. A minor quibble. The taste was great -- organic beef, very flavourful, heavy herbed/spiced but in a good way. It was tough, however, and my butter knife had a hard time doing the trick. Tasted good, as said, but I suspect it was cooked from fridge-cold and the meat had seized right up.
The beer: I like beer. I like Augusta ale.
Friends tucked into their burgers like the apocalypse was nigh and Macho Man wasn't around to save us from the end. They eat fast. Not sure how they do it. Impressive. They both liked it, though I didn't press for details. They also remarked on the awesome fries.
Little things:
* chipotle ketchup is da bomb! don't get regular ketchup, get the spicy stuff!
* first coffee came out looking like tea. very, very weak. An errant pot, I'm sure, or someone who just isn't used to brewing coffee at the bar. Came in a cool bodum, however, so points on style. They replaced it free of charge with a much stronger brew, and were apologetic for the mistake.
* friendly staff who, while a tad slow, made up for it with personality and grace. thumbs up!
All in all, an "a-ok" experience with a few missteps preventing it from hitting the **** mark. Still, there was a lot to like and a great foundation. This place will only get better, I suspect, and I look forward to being around to experience the growth!
