| - We went to the burger bar at bourbon steak with 3 other couples after a day drinking and hanging out at the pool. We were looking for a fun and simple dinner.
First of all the service was sooooo slow. From the time we ordered our meals until the time the burgers showed up, over 90 minutes had elapsed. We were there so long sitting on these hard wooden chairs that we were starting to get decubitus ulcers.
The drinks were good, made with high end ingredients.
As always, the duck fat French fry trio was Devine.
I was disappointed with the burgers. It tasted fine, maybe 6/10. But I ordered mine medium rare and it was rare... There was nothing medium rare about it. I didn't bother sending it back because at that point we had been there over two hours and we just wanted to eat and get out. Everyone at the table agreed that their burgers were under-cooked, so it wasn't just me. If it takes 90 minutes to make a great burger, I'm ok with that, but it had better be on point, and this just wasn't.
One of my friends got the falafel burger and it was inedible. It was hard and rubbery and you could barely even cut it with a steak knife. For real. I think that if Michael Mina knew that his name was attached to this hockey puck, he would be devastated. It was that bad.
The adult milk shakes were really good. If not for the milk shakes and fries, this would be zero stars instead of 2.
On this night, I wonder how the patrons in the main restaurant were enjoying their dinner?
