| - I just do not get it. My first ever GR eatery of any kind, even though I am in Vegas once a quarter at least. Maybe from watching him being over attentive to every detail on every show I have seen, this just was nothing more than an poor excuse for a Red Robin, no offence to Red Robin I think their product is superior to this.
I had the Hell's Kitchen Burger. This was 2/3 fluff and 1/3 actual burger. Maybe a 4 oz patty for $15.00 bucks, how about making the burger the star. The cook on the burger was a perfect medium. As you see him do the burger failed the squeeze test no running juices, just kinda dry. There just was not a lot of flavor from the actual burger, but the toppings were great. I guess I was expecting a drip down my arm hunk of deliciousness for my money.
The truffle fries for $11.00 were the biggest disappointment. These were nothing more than frozen steak fries with some cheese and truffle oil. The house made condiments were okay the garlic was a little over powering. Again thinking of the level this man can cook, and his external passion for perfection I was expecting more.
Suggestion maybe some hand cut fries par cooked in a lower temperature, then finished in hotter oil to get that crispy outside with that almost mash consistency inside.
So if you want a celebrity restaurant experience with okay food for 30 - 40 bucks a person this is your place, but honestly there are 2 -3 better burger places within a 5 - 10 minute walk.
The wait was quick, even that you have to check-in to then stand in line? The service was great, the waiter was more than happy to make suggestions, and answer any questions we had. So based on the service this is why it gets 3 stars, if not it would only be 2 stars.
