| - Walking in, I felt the initial atmosphere to be fun, hip, and cool with lots of white walls, tall ceilings, a fully stocked bar, cute girls in cute uniforms, several flat screen TVs, planters lining the banquettes, dark wood tables, dark wood chairs, and an open kitchen. A man came to greet and seat us but there was a severe lack of greeting as he looked rushed although it wasn't close to busy in the restaurant. We were seated and the ordering began.
Service was spotty but I think it was because the server is new. She wasn't too knowledgeable with topping recommendations or was she particularly personable but if she's knew it's understandable and can't fault her for it. She did bring everything we asked for but it just lacked that extra special feeling where a server makes you feel like an individual.
It's called the W Burger Bar. Being a burger bar I expect some pretty stellar burgers coming out of the kitchen and the recommended toppings should not just amaze the taste buds but enhance the flavors of the burger. Unfortunately The W burger bar dropped the ball on the burger and the necessary accompaniments. I enjoyed the complimentary celery, carrots, and dip but it's not the reason I came here. The bison burger, cooked medium, was tough and lacked flavor. The accompanying toppings didn't help the lack luster meat as the sauteed onions lacked seasoning and was also under caramelized and the "chipotle ketchup" lacked chipotle and ketchup. The bun was probably the best part of the burger as it was light, fluffy, and sized perfectly to hold the burger so you can put it down without compromising the burger's structural integrity. Score count for food, 0/1.
I ordered 50/50 fries and sweet potato fries but felt they served up 0/3 as the regular fries weren't crisp or flavorful as were the sweet potato fries. If I come back I will definitely try the panko breaded onion rings as they looked fantastic. I also ordered a Red Eye spiked milk shake. It was flavorful and deceivingly larger than expected, these bad boys could be dangerous as you can't taste the alcohol and the chocolate to espresso balance was perfect. Total food score, 1/4.
Overall, the price cannot justify this sit down burger restaurant. 1/4 on a burger bar and the one point is for a spiked milk shake. Take that how you will but it's a disappointment to me considering how nice the space is. If your are going to do a burger bar, please make ALL burgers well.
