YOU MUST TRY THE PARMESAN FRIES!!!
The burgers, I would consider the best I've ever had. Quite expensive, but after a day of not eating too much, it is the perfect meal.

Don't remember how I found this place on my list of places to visit but I went today and it is strongly OK.
It's not bad but isn't good enough to warrant the prices. Not to say I didn't like it but for the cost I'd visit sparsely at best.
Overall it's nice in a good location so maybe a good visit if your just exploring the area.

I ordered two medium rare burgers, they arrived medium well.
Service was fast and polite
Very good for medium well burgers though, also they arrived very fast, and everything else was good with high quality ingredients.
