| - I really liked this place!
The service we got was actually better than expected, according to other reviews. This makes me think they've gotten into a groove and have the business figured out. But, we sat at the bar, too, so that could have made a difference. I could kind of see how things could get jumbled up in the dining room, because there were servers flitting back and forth and disappearing a lot. Either way, we were satisfied.
The burgers were all really creative and I'm glad we tracked down the old cook from Lion on Lorain. It's a relief simply knowing where to go to get something cooked by him. Delicious! The menu was reminiscent of the creativity that LOL had when he was there. I got the Maui burger and it was PERFECT. It cooked exactly how I ordered it; it was a perfect medium, with great pink savory meat in the center. I guess I should add that it was perfect for me. Others have complained of wrong temperatures on burgers and I typically like mine more rare than well, so a lower temp wouldn't have upset me, whereas something overcooked would have.
The fries were DELICIOUS. And the sauces! Oh the sauces! We got both fries and sweet potato tots, so we got an assortment of sauces. My boyfriend typically shies away from sauces, so I got to revel in the saucy variety. There was a malt vinegar aioli, which was my absolute favorite. SO GOOD. I didn't have to wait for the vinegar to soak into my fries! YES! The rosemary ketchup was ok. It was a little sugary or something for me. It was just a tad bit off. The other two are slipping my mind right now...chipotle something or other. They were good too, but that vinegar one got me distracted.
Overall, I definitely want to come back, if not for another great burger, for the appetizers. Dorito crusted fried pickles?! HOLY SNACK HEAVEN. I must come back.
