| - I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, and I finally was able to drag the wife there on a not-too-busy Friday night.
The #2 was quite good - have to love prosciutto on a burger - then adding pesto, well, that's MY burger. Get yer own. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare as ordered as was the wife's medium-well version of #3 (green chile, jack, chipotle, hold-the-avocado). The burgers are Plenty Big - go easy on the sides unless you are starving.
Speaking of sides, the onion rings and sweet potato fries were both very nicely done - not greasy, and very hot! I tried the Guinness milkshake, which while good, is not something I need to get again. The Guinness lent a hint of greater depth than just a regular chocolate shake, and was fun for the novelty, but not enough of a difference to repeat. The wife's strawberry shake was VERY good, and probably the way I'll go next time. The shakes are provided with the mixing cup - so you actually have two full servings worth (might split one for two people)!
As for the overall ambiance, we enjoyed the decor with the French wallpaper (I think of toile as having pastoral scenes, and this was just patterned - but nice), the semi-dim lighting, metallic ceiling and general decor. The only thing to detract was the screeching metal music playing. I don't mind contrasts - but this was discordant.
The value was alright - we expected premium prices for the premium burgers, and will return, I just doubt it will sit high in the rotation.
