"I really want to give this place 5. The bartender was great, the servers were nice, the atmosphere was solid, but the food had a few technical issues I can't overlook. I ordered my burger medium, it came out well done. No biggie, I can eat that. But it was also under seasoned. I honestly think the cook forgot to. And the fries... Man I get it, fresh cut shoestring fries are great. These are in n out style single fry fries. Which means they get soft and soggy fast because they aren't blanched. No problem, eat them fast! I tried that, which leads to my actual issue. The plating. It's served on this tiny wood cutting board (go, bacteria! With barely enough space to hold the food. I made a huge mess, was eating mushrooms off the bar just to not waste them. And ew, btw. And those easily soggy fries? Served in a big metal cup with no ventilation. Presentation wise it's OK, but execution? The top fries steam the bottom ones. You can't get crispy fries at the bottom even after the 3 minutes I took to eat them. It's basic thermodynamics. This place needs fry baskets and I'd have poured them on my plate to prevent it... IF I HAD ONE. Great beef though. Well cooked mushrooms and onions on the steakhouse burger. Just... season more, and give me a plate please. The presentation harms the food, that's culinary 101 of things not to do. Damn good drinks though. The **** Mary alone is worth a visit. Take my 3 as a technical critique of the food, but this place is still worth a look. Just maybe avoid the fries or ask for a plate."
