| - I came here with my girlfriend after a long day at the Grand Canyon, and was quite looking forward to the meal as Gordon Ramsay is my favourite celebrity chef. There was a fair bit of a line when we got there (around 9:15pm) but we were in and seated in about 10 minutes. Our waitress promptly came over and gave us an ipad to browse drinks and took our orders shortly after.
I ordered the truffle burger and my girlfriend ordered the hell's kitchen burger, without the japalenos. We both got the burgers medium, and added a side of truffle fries and a salad. I also got a beer. The salad came out quickly, but even before we were done, the burgers were on the table, followed by the fries. The timing was a bit off, as we had a fairly small table and the table became cramped. The waitress also forgot my beer but after reminding her, she went and got it.
The salad was very average and had an insane amount of croutons (kale apple caesar salad). The truffle fries were delicious, and a very large serving. The two dips it came with were fantastic, a curry aioli and a home made ketchup. Now for the burgers: my girlfriend said that her burger was the best she'd ever had, and after a bit of it, I agreed that it was incredibly juicy and flavourful, and indeed a fantastic burger. My truffle burger also had a lot of flavour, but was a tad dry. I'm not sure if this is because of the toppings in the burger, but it was noticeably drier than my girlfriend's. Nonetheless, still delicious.
We were seated in front of the kitchen and I got to watch the kitchen operate and move around, which is always a bonus for me. I love watching open kitchens.
All in all, the burgers were good and the service was average. For what we paid, I felt it was a tad expensive, but maybe that's because I ordered the most expensive burger on the menu.
This is a 3.5 star rating.
