| - I'm a sucker for a great hamburger, I really am. For some reason, about two years ago, the world caught up with me and realized the awesomeness of the gourmet burger as well, and lots of places became suddenly part of the awareness of foodies nationwide.
So when my boo whisked me away to Vegas for a long weekend, we took in a Cirque show (the Beatles' Love) and suddenly it was 11pm and we were famished. Nothing sounded quite so good as a big juicy burger, and he'd been to this restaurant in the past and loved it... so off we went.
Service was, honestly, a bit of a mess. We were seated and waited about 15 minutes before anyone paid attention to us. We were toying with leaving as a waitress suddenly realized what had happened and apologized profusely, then doted on us for the rest of the meal. She was very sweet and funny and really remediated for the bad first impression.
The burgers were very good. Honestly, I've had better... The Counter in West Hollywood, Fez in Phoenix, and Hash House just up the road (and in San Diego) still top the list. But it was a B+ burger, an amazing cosmopolitan, and a sweet server. Anyway, I was in a great mood so it was still a nice end to the evening, and would have been five stars if not for the bumpy start.
