The Monkey Bread was soft, slightly sweet, and delicious. I got the 10 oz filet mignon medium rare, which was cooked perfectly, juicy, and tender. My girlfriend loved the miso cod and mashed potatoes, especially how tender the fish was. Her coconut margarita was her favorite of the night. We finished with the banana split, a complimentary anniversary dessert, and some surprisingly great black coffee. Service was excellent, fast, attentive, and accommodating. Great food, great atmosphere, and a perfect anniversary dinner. Definitely coming back!

Service is great, food takes a bit to come out can tell it was made to order. - Burger: Blown away by the famous burger, the bacon and egg add ons are absolutely necessary. I'm not usually a fan of bacon but theirs is thick and sweet. - Chopped wedge salad: Loved the chopped wedge salad, you can order a half portion if desired. Half was still plenty to share among 2. - Steak tartare: this was good but wasn't a huge standout. Buttered toast is a nice touch. - Chicken liver: unfortunately too mayo-heavy for our taste. Better with the bread though. - Mille feuille: humongous portion! Liked this better than some mille feuille I tried in Paris lol. Flaky and buttery with a thick cream that wasn't overly sweet.

How do you even approach a place that you've seen crowned as best burger in America (granted the…read moreChicago location)? Is it a set up for disappointment from the start? I don't know. What I will say - "Mmm. That is a tasty burger!" Is it the best I've ever had? How do I know but it's certainly in the conversation, and most likely better than a Big Kahuna burger. What I loved - two patties that weren't gigantic. Burgers have become either massive monstrosities that the human jaw isn't equipped to handle, or smash burgers, without an in between. Well, maybe not for you new yorkers - in Austin, we have P.Terry's! All in all it was fantastic! and I'd love to come again and try it with bacon and eggs on it in order to ensure I hit my weekly saturated fat allowances in 45 minutes. Also, absolutely loved the chicken tender sliders and would absolutely recoomend them. What has me ding them a bit - the whole ala carte cheeseburger thing - cmon, for the price of a 3 course meal at olive garden you can throw in some papas fritas. Second, the salad (not my idea to order it) was depressing and not good. Third - the $5 fee to a get a rez...although it's probably better than auto grat or those kitchen service charges... Fourth, the service was kinda mixed..one guy was nice while some others were ehhhh. I def like the vibe of the place and would def go back. So I dunno, maybe it should be 5 stars...but i dont think a bunny would eat that salad.

Did an earlier dinner on a Saturday with a friend at the bar. We got some similar items, some different. The thing I kept the same was my martinis and all three (sour cream and onion, tomato, and espresso) were just as amazing as ever. Food-wise, I stuck mainly to the classics with one new dish: - Pizza rolls: Very good but 3 pizza rolls for $20 felt small to me. I feel like I remember seeing others served more when I've gone in the past, but not completely sure. They're nostalgic and fun, nothing to die for. - Fries: Great as ever, we opted for just one of the sauces (avocado dill). - French Dip: This used to be cut in 3 pieces and now it's 2. Works well with a duo but I do think it's actually a little smaller now than before when I compare photos. - Samoa sundae: Still amazing, still so so worth. It was fun going with a friend who hadn't been before and seeing the joy upon trying the dish! Bar service is friendly as always and they do a decent job moving you along to ensure the necessary turnover without feeling too rushed.

When I asked about the absurd $8 charge they dismissed me like i was crazy for asking if it was a mistake. It's not like it's a nice steakhouse lol. 8 bucks? What a rip off. The price is insane but also how little they care says a ton about the place. A place that shrugs off fair questions about the bill clearly isn't thinking about the people walking in the door. Check your charges carefully if you go.

Here's the rundown: - naan: recommend this, though maybe overhyped myself based on previous reviews. The yogurt sauce was delish, but the bread itself was very good but not mind blowing. - BLT salad: dark horse fav! Tons of flavor and I kept going back for more. Recommend as an app - Union Square bento: honestly, wish this came in a real bento box. Seems like a miss, but I suppose separate plates give you more volume. Good to add as a side to whatever else you get. Cabbage was the best of the trio. - rice bowl: squash and rice were solid, but the shrimp was the standout here! Very flavorful shrimp. Not sure how they packed so much flavor into the little bites of them - fried chicken thighs: I mean, yes. They're juicy. They're fried excellently. The side sauces are creative and great for vinegar-lovers like me I also got the carrot cocktail which was ultra smooth and had the right amount of dill flavor. We got two cookies to go which were divine. I'd get them to stay to try it with the oolong milk next time, but we had to run. The service was friendly, courteous. Ambiance was trendy but not uptight. Would recommend for a nicer night out
