| - the crowd is def of the 'i'm hip and sexy" variety, but if that's not your scene, you're not going to feel out of place... when i got attitude from the 16-year-old hostess and i scanned the patrons i was like "oh, great, it's gonna be like THAT," but i easily struck up a conversation with the table next to us when my company left me alone for several minutes to go to the bathroom (kind of impossible not to eavesdrop when you are practically bumping elbows and you have to pull your drink away from the edge of the table when someone needs to get by so their rear end or purse doesn't knock it over).
all that said, the burgers are delicious and the fries are amazing (get the mixed order if you're not sure about the sweet potato fries, bu i guarantee you'll love them with the chipotle dip it comes with).
the ground beef is organic and the delux bruger features applewood bacon-infused patties and gruyere cheese. not the place to go if you want a ton of options - the burger is the star and you have a choice of two. i did have one of their salads and it was very good and very big.
one friend who tried it did not like the baguette-style bun, but that's the only complaint i've heard on the joint.
on to the really important stuff -- booze. i take it back, the menu is huge, but that's because they have so many beers! including one of my favorite "special treat" beers, Framboise Lambic (raspberry dessert beer). they're milkshakes ain't too shabby, either.
yes, i'ts a little cramped in there, but it helps off set the very chicly-designed look and cool baby attitude to seem more like a chatty, happy diner... you know? except this diner doesn't have smashed fires on the floor and a gum-chewing waitress.
