| - This place would warrant 5 stars if it weren't so expensive.
It's a very typical gourmet burger place. The burgers are fantastic and there are a lot of unique combinations that work very well.
We ordered the "gold standard" and the "rising sun." At $17.50 and $16.50 respectively, these were not inexpensive burgers. The gold standard features dry aged beef with smoked bacon, aged goat cheddar cheese, tomato confit, baby arugula, and garlic-chive aioli; very very tasty. The rising sun features kobe beef, teriyaki glaze, nori furikake, cirspy yam, spicy mayo, and tempura avocado. I don't think the kobe added anything flavor wise and unfortunately, probably just adds to the cost of the burger. The tempura avocado however was amazing. The batter formed a crisp shell and the avocado inside was nice and creamy. Om nom nom nom.
Are the burgers great? Yes! If you think of it as $20+ dinner at the Cosmo, it's not too bad of a deal at all. Thinking of it as a $20 burger ruins the appetite.
