| - In between spells of drunkenness, our hero is found wandering the newly opened Encore (which, by the way, kicks a generous amount of ass). Of course, like the Wynn, finding some cheap--Vegas cheap that is--food was thought to be an improbability, until I noticed an awesome little cafe with cheap burgers. Admit two please.
After a short wait, we were seated at an undesirable table, which we quickly switched for a better one. Before we ordered, the waitress brought us fresh veggies served in a glass dish with ice and homemade ranch, then soft pretzel sticks with mustard butter (I've never heard of this before, but it's pretty much the single greatest invention EVER). Everything was delicious.
Looking around the restaurant, it was obvious that the place was pretty swanky. It looked like Urban Outfitters met the Ethan Hawke version of "Great Expectations." Huge curtains with striking patterns, beautiful tables, fancy columns, even the dishes were amazing.
The burger ended up being a solid gourmet style burger, I was happy with it, but nothing to bring me back. Except the price.
If this place fine tunes the menu and keeps the prices low, five stars are in the future.
