| - Fabulous food, albeit insanely salty (chugged 3 bottles of water through the day after my lunch.) Service was great, as they kept re-loading out table with their fresh bread and awesome garlic hummus spread.
I am pretty salt sensitive so that's not a strike for this restaurant at all, because I've finally found a burger that has the meat patty SEASONED instead of bland cardboard ground meat at every other single restaurant that serves burgers. It was juicy and funkin huge, I mean, this patty was like a pound of straight up meaty goodness topped with melty cheddar slice (mmmmm melty) and fresh onions, lettuce, a tomato and just enough pickles. Served on a wonderful fluffy brioch bun.
And let me once again underline how big this burger is, I straight up had to pound this thing down, and I have a bit of a freakazoid Steven Tyler mouth (I constantly amaze myself with how much food I can shove in there and how I haven't choked yet...) and eating this Sirloin Burger gracefully was a HUGE challenge. I managed though, with my Mick Jagger mouth and all. It was flipping delicious and worth the 15 dollars. Unfortunately I didn't make a mark on my frites since the burger was insanely filling, but they were...fritey...if fritey is what you want. FRITES.
Also had their grilled octopus appetizer, which was good, but nothing to write home about. I found their pairing of grilled octopus on top of fingerling potatoes to not really have that zesty flavor, it was well seasoned but I would have loved a touch of acidity to have accompanied my octopus. The grilled octopus had a great charred note, it was fresh, and I love me some octopus tentacles. And I know, you're like "Wtf ew Anna, OCTOPUS? THAT IS STANK." But you guys, octopus is THE BOMB DOT COM. Baby octopus can take it or leave it, cause I ain't putting that in my mouth. But grilled octopus is where it's at. I'd describe grilled octopus as a mix between chicken and lobster. Which are 2 of my fav proteins. So like, octopus is a really dreamy combo of texture and flavor for me.
basically what I'm saying is everyone should try octopus. Even my 12 year old sister who is scared of almost all foods liked it!
