| - Located on the second floor of the Cosmopolitan the decor is very cute with lots of cartoon artwork of the cow mascot. They have booths and tables, but also a bar seating area to the left side of the restaurant. Reservations can be made through OpenTable.
Thursday night after our third day of CES we were famished and irritated how the day was ending so far. BTW, never go to HTC's promotional booth that isn't at the convention center. Horrible customer service. I had been wanting to try this place out for years and never got around to it. This trip I was determined that we were going and what a better way to end a pretty bad day than a nice juicy burger and a good shake?
Our Order:
++Truffle Mac & Cheese: ($16.50) Tellegio-Marscapone sauce w/ Maine Lobster and Black Truffle
++Gold Standard: ($18.50) Sirloin Burger w/ smoked bacon, Tomato Confit, Goat Cheddar Cheese, Baby Arugula & Garlic-Chive Aioli
Add Fried Egg (+$1)
++Billionaire Burger: ($32) Kobe Beef, Foie Gras, Port Onion Marmalade, Frisse, Truffle Mayo
Add Lobster (+$10)
Add Sweet Potato Fries (+$2)
++Drunken Monkey: ($13) Reese's, Banana, Malt, Frangelico
Complimentary pizza popcorn came out in a little milk pail while we waited for our food to arrive. They change the flavor periodically but there's no schedule as to when it's changed. We inhaled the popcorn as we hadn't really eaten anything all day.
I've had the Rossini Burger at the Burger Bar (the $65 burger) and the Billionaire Burger isn't as juicy with a thinner patty. The Billionaire Burger also doesn't have the chunks of truffles that I liked. The truffle flavor is only in the truffle mayo. There was a nice chunk of foie gras but there was hardly any lobster on the burger. Kind of disappointing since you're paying $10 to add lobster. =/ My friend absolutely loved his burger. He had actually ordered the Truffle Mac & Cheese to add to his burger. He kept moaning with every bite he took of his burger. I'm not a fan of mac & cheese but I tried a bit anyways. The pasta was soft and there was plenty of gooey cheese. There were bits of something (possibly breadcrumbs) sprinkled on top that gave it a good texture contrast. There was more lobster in the Truffle Mac & Cheese than what was added on to my burger.
The Drunken Monkey wasn't too overly sweet and had real chunks of bananas. A bit lighter on the Reese's flavor though which was OK but I love chocolate and peanut butter and would've liked more. Couldn't taste the alcohol in it at all (which I prefer) but also pretty dangerous if you drink it too fast.
At the end of our meal our server brought out frozen mint meringues! They were in a tin milk pail and we just picked it up with our fingers from a spoon that scooped the meringues out. It was so amusing eating them because every time you breathed out, water vapors came out of your mouth that made it look like smoke.
Our server, Warren was amazing!! We vented about how bad our day was and he helped end our night on a great note. One point, we saw him & his co-worker dancing and rapping at the POS machine having a blast. He saw us watching and just commented, "I love working here." You could definitely tell that he did. :) We spoke with the manager about how he did a great job and found out that it was his first week as a waiter as a promotion from being a table server. They're definitely lucky to have him.
Overall, the food would be a 4 star but because of the service, I had to bump it up a star. Definitely would be coming back.
