| - Holstein's is exactly what a "burger and brew" fan wants in a meal. Their appetizers are a little pricey, but that's expected at a Hotel / Strip property, especially the Cosmopolitan. My friend and I opted to go with the Fried Pickles to start knowing the burgers included a heaping portion of meat. They were a pleasant surprise as they were the full spears instead of the normal "chip" format. The herb-caper mayo really complimented the cornflake-like crust. The drink menu and beers on tap will satisfy any libation request. My friend ordered the Steakhouse Burger and I opted for the Gold Standard (protein style aka. lettuce wrap). The Steakhouse Burger was crusted w/ black pepper, creamy steak sauce, tomato confit, onions, mushrooms and swiss. The Gold Standard had smoked bacon, aged goat cheddar, tomato confit, arugla and garlic aioli. Overall, both were very tasty, however the kitchen misunderstood medium rare and sent my burger out well done. I've eaten here over four times and each prior visit I haven't had any issues w/ cooking temperature. The server was very nice and stopped by a few times during the meal to check in on us as well. If you're in town looking for a good drink and bite to eat, I would recommend stopping in.
