| - Went here after reading the Vegas magazine in my hotel room. Was listed in the dining section for the hotels on the strip. And knowing Kerry Simon from his battle on Iron Chef America, off we went to give it a try.
First off, the decor was pretty cool with "1960's Russian propaganda posters and thematic fixtures". Very modern and hip feel. Our server was cool and fast. A few women servers were dressed in sexy military attire (wish one of them served us). haha.
On to the food. There's a nice selection of house special burgers and a "build your own" section. I went and ordered a house item the Cobb Burger. Has bacon, blue cheese, avocado, tomato salsa, red pepper mayo and a sesame brioche bun.
Once i got it....i was like...hmm. The burger was put together kinda sloppy and i wasn't diggin' the basket presentation. I cut the burger in half to see the layers of all the "goodness". Still wasn't looking "wow". My medium ordered cooked meat looked more like less than medium-rare. So after the visuals i decided to go ahead and take a bite...
Oh... this is pretty good. I wish it was cooked to medium, but i got the flavor of the bacon and blue cheese and the mayo. the areas where the meat was cooked to my liking was tasty and flavorful. I liked the chopped bacon which is a change from other burgers that have slices. The bun was good, but for some reason it was really filling, And the fries were just ok.
Overall, it was good, It wasn't "wow" and a few disappointments. But I'd give this place a try again. Maybe pair a vodka with a burger. hmmm?
I know people complain of prices, but heck. it's Vegas and it's a famous chef's restaurant. Live it up. ;)
Thanks!
