A recent trip there provided not a single positive note to leave on, with the exception of the fact that I had been out of the office for close to two hours at that point. As someone who is often put off when reviewers harp on bad service, I still feel sufficiently strong about this shortcoming to mention it. Basically, it took 1.5 hours to get four burgers to our table...after we had to wait 15-20 minutes for them to 'stagger' the orders...ostensibly so we wouldn't have to wait well over an hour for our burgers. There's more to this, but I'll let that rest there. Now for the food. The food still had an opportunity to turn this into a positive experience. Once again, however, Ted's disappointed. My medium rare burger came back more than well done...which is completely inexcusable at a restaurant dedicated to such fare. Furthermore, the onion rings that looked great on other people's plates were actually so offensively salty that I couldn't get more than two of them down. While I realize they are probably working out the kinks at this new endeavour, there are much better, and more competently staffed, sit-down burgers around.
