Question: How is the food has serve?

I love the Cheesecake Factory. For a chain, I find the food to be really good and there is a great variety. We decided to check out this notoriously busy restaurant expecting to wait. Well, wait we did. First, when we next in the queue for a table (after an hour long wait) the hostess ended up giving it to a larger party. We complained and management fixed it and had us seated right away. But I was already annoyed. How does that even happen? Then we waited FOREVER for drinks, which were forgotten. Then another lifetime for food. At one point, a manager came over and said the chef fucked up the poached eggs and it would be a while.  So we waited. Then they screwed up our dessert order. And the bill wasn't right. I was a bit surprised that we didn't get comped for a portion of our meal, but oh well. So, I think the reason the line ups are insane is bc this place just cannot turn tables. 3 hours for food and insanely terrible service. While the the staff is all friendly, there are clearly not enough of them and the processes need streamlining.

Answer: didn't get comped for a portion of our meal

Question: What is your opinion about the service?

Can awful service ruin a restaurant?  Yes, and this is a prime example.  The location is right, the food is good, there are mouth watering desserts on display but the execution of the service there is a complete failure.I have been to Pickel Barrel twice since they've renovated it.  There were a few hostesses but it looked like they were getting off duty and the manager was asking them to stay and they had a little dispute about whether the hostess should have stayed.  Both the manager, off-duty hostess and the on-duty hostess did not give a rats arse about my friend and I who was just standing there.  We just left and went somewhere else.The second time, we made it into a seat.  My boyfriend ordered the king crab and steak combo and I ordered a salad.  The waitress said that they were discontinuing the king crab and would go check with the cooks.  She came back and told us that there was king crab, so he ordered the king crab with steak combo.  It was not until I got my salad entree that she came and told him that there was actually no king crab!  My friend said fine, I'll just order something else.  He decided to ordered a larger cut of steak, but the server said that he MUST take the steak that was supposed to come with the crab because it was already cooked.  So the waitress forced him to take the steak that was already made and substitute something else for the king crab.And... his entree did not come out until I finished mine.  When his entree came out, they also served his starters (salad and something else) at the same time.  Did I mention that the steak was cold at this point?  So half the time we were just watching each other eat.  Terrible experience.

Question: How about food?

While a two-star rating may seem harsh, I feel it's misleading to give three stars and say I had an ok experience. My only two main issues were the lack-lustre service and the small food portion. Their food would probably rate a 4, if not for the meagre portions. El Catrin, as a new restaurant in the area, has a lot of potential to develop into a trendy hangout - that's definitely what they're going for. My friends and I came here on Saturday at about 5 p.m. as we were looking for somewhere to catch up and I have just moved in the area. It was really chilly, but the patio is heated, and the ambiance was very upbeat and casual. The servers and hosts were wearing full face paint, which was definitely interesting and makes the experience distinguishable from other tapas restaurants, though they only do this every third Saturday of the month. However, shout outs to our server Evan G. for providing truly memorable inattentive service. I ordered the raw beef on crispy tortilla, which had great, elevated presentation, and a generous helping of the meat. My only suggestion would be the tortilla chips seemed really delicate and it was a very messy eat. I would have preferred the chips to be more stable/sturdy. I also ordered their house sangria, which tasted good, but I was expecting more fruit. We also ordered the Costilla Corta off of the sharing section of their menu, and then kind of just stared out in confusion at the small slab of braised beef short rib in front of us. The meat was very tender and well seasoned and the presentation and plating was impressive, but the portion was really small to be part of their sharing menu. We had another server bring out three different sauces and explained what each one was. We sat there confused looking on at the other tables with chips wondering if those were complimentary or if we had to specifically request them... or just spoon these sauces into our mouths... We eventually asked for the chips ourselves and 30 minutes after sampling our first plate, we were ready to order, but our server Evan was no where to be found. One of my friends mentioned we were looking for our server so we could order more. A host?/staff member said she would find Evan for us, and 15 minutes still no one. We eventually flagged down another server and ordered the grande grac (made with 2 avocados). A staff member made this in front of us, which guaranteed the freshness and was a nice touch. The guac tasted great and was a good spilt between three of us. Evan stopped by (maybe the paint fumes got to him?) and asked us how the guac was. My friends were full at this point, and I wanted to order more. Evan was making helpful recommendations, and I would likely have ordered their tacos and a few more drinks, but I decided to call it quits with the subpar service and frequent disappearing acts and head somewhere else. Anyway, the ambiance is spot on, and you'll likely have a good time. This definitely won't be one of my go to places for the summer, as there are tapas places that are just as fun in the city with better service.

Question: How is the food?

A Jack of All Trades, but a Master of Noneis the perfect figure of speech to describe the the Pickle Barrel at Young and Dundas.The first thing that you notice when sitting down is that the menu is roughly 10 pages long and they have nearly every type of eats from thai and chinese, to all day breakfasts and seafood, not to mention Rose Reisman's healthy choices (which are undoubtedly the best picks on the menu, albeit slightly more pricey, and are excluded from a lot of the bashing the rest of the establishment is about to take from me). The large selection is about the only good thing about this particular restaurant. Which isn't especially saying much since the large selection comes with the large prices, with most entrees looking to put you back $15-30.The service... I don't even know why they bother hiring the hostess (VERY loosely used term) upstairs because she's obviously there for show. The last two times I've entered through the upstairs entrance I had to wait for the hostesses (these were two different people by the way) to finish texting before telling me to walk downstairs and through the restaurant in order to have the downstairs hostess put my party on a list for a table.I can deal with that, just enter through the downstairs entrance through the Atrium, better service. Once in the basement though, which is sort of drab, dreary and just uncomfortable as fine dining atmospheres go, all the waiters I've had have been excellent.Now the food... All I can say is mediocre at best.Their calamari is decent as a large appetizer. Yet beware, their batter is incredibly rich and takes on a lot of oil (over-fried) so expect to feel some bloating.I personally had their eggs benedict today which was horrendous. If you want a benedict, go somewhere else (yes, even Golden Griddle who had a surprisingly good benedict last time I dropped by). Eggs were overcooked and didn't seem like they were freshly made, the bacon was obviously heatlamped, and the english muffin tasted stale. The only good point of the breakfast was the potato latke which was nothing like a latke and was more like a hashbrown, yet it tasted good, albeit a little salty. In the past I've had their a few of their steak and pasta items. I'd highly advise against the steak (dry, overcooked, tasteless), though the pasta is definitely passable.I saved the best for last. The dessert.I'd personally recommend the Killer Milkshake at $4. It's massive. You'll probably be able to find a better milkshake in town, but not one that size, and not one for that price.I know a lot of my friends love their brownies and cake, I haven't tried them though so YMMV.In closing, Pickle Barrels isn't a place I'd particularly recommend to go. It definitely has the menu, but the food ruins it by being mediocre. There are so many better eats for better prices in the area.

Question: How is the spicy food?

The Pakistani food here is delicious. And the service is super fast! As you arrive at your table, the servers hand you a whiteboard and dry erase marker, so you can write down what you want.  This is very clever, so the servers know exactly what you ordered. You're also given a number, and you pay your bill at the till at the front. As for the food... I find the butter chicken here too spicy, so if you're not used to super hot foods, but sure to ask for a side of yogurt.  The lamb biryani, gobi aloo, palak paneer, and kofi ice cream are super good! Be sure to order the kofi ice cream popsicles,  And if you've never had a milky sweet rose drink with noodles in it called Faluta, it is highly recommended. Good Kashmiri Tea too. This place is always packed, but your food comes in five minutes. Dont let the busyness or ambience intimidate you... You'll love Tikka Lahore. They also just recently upgraded from paper plates to real glass plates- good move guys! This restaurant is highly recommended. The food is yummy, the service is fast, and the servers are attentive. It's always busy here for a reason.

Question: How is the soup?

YES YES YES! They make the soup perfect, every single time. The soft tofu stew here is the real deal - it tastes the way it does in Korea! It's definitely authentic. The food comes out fast and piping hot. I love the purple rice and how they add water to the stone bowl after they scoop out most of the rice for you so you can have some watery rice (for Koreans, this is called jook). I've literally had everything on the menu and it's all amazing. I always get the stew extra spicy. The bulgogi soup is nice too if you're wanting a little more meat and some sweeter soup. But really, this place is all about the soft tofu stew! If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. Highly recommend! It's the best soft tofu place in Toronto, by far (and much better than the North York location too)!

Question: How was the service provided at the restaurant?

Everytime I'm at the distillery, this is the only place I go. Their baja fish tacos are the best tacos I've ever had. Their portions are definitely on the lighter side but the flavours are there in all their dishes so it's worth the price! I recommend getting the guacomole to start when you go... they make it fresh at your table! I would give it a 5-star rating but last time I went, we were sat in their outdoor heated patio and it was too hot. It was around 17 degrees out and sunny so there wasn't really a need for the heater and when I asked if they could lower the heat, they said 'it's either all the way on or not on'. Other than being alittle warm, the food is great and service has been consistently good when I've gone.

Their portions are definitely on the lighter side but the flavours are there in all their dishes so it's worth the price! I recommend getting the guacomole to start when you go... they make it fresh at your table! I would give it a 5-star rating but last time I went, we were sat in their outdoor heated patio and it was too hot. It was around 17 degrees out and sunny so there wasn't really a need for the heater and when I asked if they could lower the heat, they said 'it's either all the way on or not on'.

Question: How is the product quality?

I used to be a Big Sushi zealot, but after hosting an epic sushi night while watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi, I have converted to the calling of Sushi on Bloor. It's cheap, they're fast, the quality of fish is on par if not a a smidgen better than Big Sushi aaaannnd they're about a block closer to me. So win, win, win and win. Bear in mind I've only done takeout so I have little to no experience with the dining room itself. Although the couple times I've been in there to grab my food, it's been super packed with a cluster of people jamming the door.  In fact it feels like you're in a crowded little dim sum place on an early Sunday morning with the sea of voices and clinking of tea cups and plates. Not the greatest, but not necessarily unpleasant if you're used to how we asians do.I recommend. Don't let the tacky sign dissuade you.

Question: Is the egg perfectly poach?

I've lived in the Annex for a while now and have only managed to try Insomnia just this summer. I don't know why it took me so long! Loved their brunch! Cheap mimosas and amazing food. Get the potatoes! These babies are so good they're like crack potatoes! I would definitely recommend Insomnia for brunch. I haven't been there for dinner but I can assure you it is one of the best brunch spots in the Annex.

Question: What is your favorite place?

I love the look and feel of this place. Lounge style setting with long, low booths. Perfect for a luxurious meal. The decor is sumptuous. Beautiful elements of steel and glass. The host and wait staff are attentive without being overbearing. Sommelier recommended a great Spanish wine. One of the best Old Fashioned drinks in town, made with a Turkish bitter twist. Fatoush salad. So fresh. Turkish Manti Dumplings were a smokey delight: stuffed with eggplant and covered in a creamy yogurt sauce. We had the lamb as a main. More than enough to feed the three of us. So tender and savory, wrapped in flatbread with pickled beet slices, hot peppers, yogurt, pickle cucs. So deliciously decadent. Also had the beets in their homemade yogurt, which is to die for. Will return again and again.

Question: How messy is the restaurant to eat?

The only way you will find the entrance to La Carnita is if you recognize the skull made up of taco ingredients (according to the restaurant's website). Or you could squint at the window to try and read the name of the restaurant that is scribbled on the Toronto Public Health sign...like I did. ;)My friend and I arrived at around 5:30 on a weeknight and we were kindly seated right away. We got to sit by the window, which is the perfect spot for people-watching while enjoying a relaxing meal. The restaurant has a laid-back, hipster vibe in the decor, as well as the service. We ordered two starters, two tacos, and two paletas. The presentation of each and every dish was lovely.Green Apple Scallop Ceviche served with fried plaintains (one of the specials of the day) -- it was a mixture of scallops, cilantro, chopped green apples and red peppers over guacamole, and topped with pumpkin seeds. The tanginess from the green apple bits was an interesting addition to this dish, but I felt the cilantro was quite overpowering (I am biased though because I do not like cilantro, parsley, celery, and the like). Mexican Street Corn -- a messy eat, but it was the BEST corn-on-the-cob I've ever had. I have tried spreading butter and sprinkling chilli powder on a grilled corn-on-the-cob, but sour cream, chilli powder AND cheese? Sweet, creamy, spicy, AND cheesy? Mmm...it was very tasty!Beef Cheek Taco -- La Carnita's tacos are small (like everywhere else), but this was a very packed taco. Nothing in the taco really stood out though, other than the pickled jalapeño slices. Tostada de Ceviche with Albacore Tuna -- mmm...fried tacos are always good when they are light and crispy. It was covered in chopped fish, veggies, and guacamole. I think this is now one of my favourite tacos because I love ceviche and I love guacamole.Key Lime Pie Paleta -- this was full of lime flavour, so it was very tangy. The added coating of crushed graham crackers was nice though.Strawberry Shortcake Paleta -- the individual who thought of putting cake inside a popsicle is a genius! I enjoyed every bite, especially the ones filled with vanilla cake. It is one of the most interesting popsicles out there... (Apparently, a shop named Sweet Jesus -- affiliated with La Carnita, I believe -- will be offering these delicious paletas and it will soon open at John & Adelaide.)I would definitely come back to La Carnita for the corn, the fried taco, and the paletas. I hope the Strawberry Shortcake flavour will remain available until then!

Question: What is your sentiment about thai food taste?

I think this is a cute little place. We got pizza and a dessert to share and both were decent. The service was good and the price is fine considering that it's in Yorkville. I can't say that the food is particularly special but the pizza tasted very fresh (as in the vegetable toppings). The dessert was somewhat disappointing because it didn't look awesome nor did it taste amazing. However, I would come back for their pizza again and maybe a different dessert.

Question: How is the dessert?

Definitely make a reservation; we were able to squeeze in at the bar because it was just two of us, but it would have been nice to linger at a table.  Regardless, the service was prompt and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious.  We started with the pate on brioche; it came topped with apple chutney and sea salt and it was a perfect blend of salty and fatty and sweet.  Dinner was the striploin for both of us, served with brussels sprouts, parsnips (two ways, a parsnip mash and homefries), and potatoes.  Desserts are extremely inventive, and in a nod to the season, all of them seem to come with ice cream.  I had the parsnip cake (what can I say, I love the stuff), served with a smoky chestnut ice cream and an orange marmalade.  The cake itself wasn't very sweet, which let the other elements of the dish shine. My dining partner ordered the chocolate tart, which came with black tea ice cream and a frozen orange foam. Lots of rich chocolate flavour, a great way to finish off the meal.  We were both very impressed.

Question: Do you like to eat on this site?

Love this place. Very good value on all the items. Had the pork belly steamed bao, squid taco, and braised beef taco. The tacos themselves are really good soft shell. Have always been a big fan of the bao as well. Very plain and let's you really enjoy what's in the sandwich. Massive fan of the coleslaw/salad mixture they use on all of their sandwiches. Has a sort of spicy, cilantro taste to it. Will eat here again

Question: How is the quality of the restaurant?

Not sure where to start:It is a small cozy restaurant with occasion flies presented around the fishes. I would not surprise to see them if I am not in a Japanese restaurant. Have waited for more than ten minutes and we had to raise our hand to notify the wait or and waitress that we were ready to order. We wanted to order the tasting menu, but was only told that it has to be booked a day in advance. So we settled for the $50 sashimi and sushi combo. The sashimi were nice, however my friend and I have observed the senior waiter let our sushi dish sitting on the top of counter for more than five minutes until there was no other dishes on the counter even they were brought out later than the our sushi dish. Why this is a big deal? Any sushi chef will enforce you to eat the sushi just made within a minute or two once it was made. This was quite disappointed and we are unsure the reason why the waiter made such decision. For the price we paid for the meal, around 300 Canadian dollars, we would better off with other upscale Japanese cuisine in the town.

Question: How is the food?

Great service, great atmosphere and great food. Cocktails were really impressive. I'm a Toronto local and I'm not impressed by the tourist trap places but I really enjoyed everything. Luis was our bartender and his special cocktail was really great - tequila, pear, orgeat and a few other ingredients. Really impressive. Luis was really great too. He really attentive , made good recommendations and was very knowledgable. I would highly recommend for a nagging out, special occasion or event..., or multiple margaritas :)

Question: How was your server?

We totally thought this place would be a tourist trap for those who wanted to visit for the views, but we were wrong. The food was actually pretty good and above average. First off, getting a reservation wasn't too hard. We showed up a the front of CN tower and lined up to go through to obnoxious security (which I can prove to be useless). Took about 5 minutes to pass through the line and another couple minutes for the security to check your stuff. Walked into the lobby and straight up to the reception. I asked if it was possible to get a reservation for a table for 5. She said there were tables available and we could get booked for first seating at 11am. Going up to the restaurant took longer than passing through security and the reservation process. I believe they only have 2 lifts for the restaurant and they work simultaneously, but still we had to wait for about 15 minutes. Scored a window seating. Server was nice and had a sense of humor. Worth mentioning: - Dry Aged Ribeye, claimed to be 40+ day aged. I personally eat a lot of dry aged beef because we have a local butcher which does aging. The aged beef served at the restaurant didn't have the aged beef taste that I was hoping for. But, it was super juicy and tender. Grilled close to perfection. - Mussels (appetizer), these were good. They mussels used were pretty meaty and the soup base had plenty of taste to them. Failed: - Cod, horribly done.. super dry- Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon, skip as well. Dry The chefs don't seem to know how to do fish well. Price = pretty decent for $59CAD which = to be about $45USD. The ribeye was much more, but we don't need to talk about that right now. It cost about $33CAD = $25USD for general admission of the tower, which you only get to walk around and take a few pictures. For a few bucks more, you can enjoy your lunch or dinner and sit in for over and hr to get the spectacular view and eat something. Take this for example, if you just go up to the tower and come back down, you still need to spend money on food. Considering a hotdog and soft drink will probably cost you 10CAD. You do the math. I say it's a solid 3.5 stars rounded up

Question: Is a tiny place?

This was my second time coming here as I recall a great experience the first time. It's a small cosy little place where you don't need to bother coming unless you've made a reservation.We ordered the Japango Roll and a Sashimi platter. The Japango Roll has to be one of my favourite rolls ever. It has a rich grilled butterfish top layer, drizzled with a sweet and a little spicy sauce and just tastes amazing. A must try. The sashimi platter was quite diverse, honestly not really sure of what fish were included. They were presented in various ways: torched, marinated, or just simply cut. The sashimi was cut generously thick.This place is a little more expensive, and requires some forethought to ensure reservations, but is definitely worth coming to.

Question: How large was the meal at that place?

The restaurant came up as brand new in the area that I usually frequent. I gathered a group of friends together and purchased a coupon deal to help with the meal. Based on the website, the restaurant recently moved from uptown where I use to hangout before I moved downtown.There were daily specials for food as well as cocktails for $8 from 4 to 7 pm. If you see uni (sea urchin) on the menu, make sure you order it as it is only available in limited quantities. Our group ordered the uni ikura don, soft shell crab, crunch beef roll, and the sashimi platter. The best of the meal was the platter with lots of variety of fresh sashimi. The uni ikura don was amazing and we were lucky to order the last one of the day.Definitely will be back to try other goodies even if the coupon deal has ended. There are many other dishes that I wanted to try including the fried oysters and many rolls that others have raved about. The prices are reasonable without the coupon given the quality of food that you are served. Although I did not drink that night, the restaurant was offering a large hot sake for $5 with an order of a specific roll (i.e. Boston special roll).

Question: How is the quality of the menu?

Cheap, easy, fast service, great on a cold winter day; you're going for the quantity and price point here, the broth is good but not fantastic.  The shrimp rolls and pork rolls are plain and definitely need the dipping sauce. Quantity will balance the quality for the starving foodie.

Question: How was the food?

Great, fresh look. Visiting in the city and stopped in with a friend before taking in a show on a Saturday evening. It was early so we didn't have any issues being seated. Very nice interior. We were just having a small bite, but everything was very tasty. I'm vegetarian, so I'm not the target audience, but my friend had a raw oyster selection and the arctic char and enjoyed them both. I had a salad and the chef was very accommodating providing me with the sides of the featured special, chick pea patties on a bed of cous cous. We also got a side of shoestring fries that seemed NOT from frozen and very tasty. It was all very good. Great and interesting wine list, with international as well as Canadian wines. Very enjoyable experience.

Question: How is the pizza?

This tiny little establishment in which you can see through the window or inside the old man slaving away on the many pizzas being ordered is dainty. It is old and hot and in serious need of some restaurant makeover. But this place is far from being in any kind of trouble. Famous for their traditional pizza, no gourmet items just the bare essentials. And word is that if the old man is taking your order, you get 3 tries to place a correct order or else he tells you to vamoose. No delivery, no slices, just one size pizza for take out. Okay, if you want to eat in, there are a few tables with sketchy looking chairs. But this place is known for the way their pizzas taste and I gotta say, it completely impressed me. I'm not a big pizza eater, so when I eat a good pizza and want to go back for more, you know it's amazing. It is a little out of the way since I'm rarely in the Danforth area and when I am it's always west of Pape and not east. It is a great pizza but I'd probably only come here maybe a few times a year since it's quite the lengthy drive or transit.

Question: Was your seat comfortable?

Went here on a weekend during the day after being in the area for the NXME music thingymajig. Firstly I hate waiting for anything longer than 5 minutes, I get agitated and fiddle and break things so it was no surprise that I bumped into a vase and broke it after waiting for nearly 15 minutes to be seated.The place was busy but the available tables were only for 4+ groups so since it was just me and my friend we had to wait for seats to come free in the communal area. First time I have seen this in Toronto and I was never a big fan of it in the UK and I am still not a big fan of having to share my personal space whilst eating with people I do not know. The menu at first instance looked good, there are a fair few dishes and you have the option of requesting anything from a 1 chilli to a 20 chilli dish - I think a 20 chilli dish would require waxing of the tongue Home Simpson style so I went for a Beef Dish at level 5.The food came out super quick, as if the kitchen staff had a precognitive vision of what I would order before I had a chance to break anything, but I would have preferred in this case to wait for something that did not look rushed or not looked like the beef had been cooked in the morning and kept on a low heat till i arrived.So overall the experience was disappointing, the service was, once seated, quick and the waiter kept the water topped up and was polite and attentive.Do not see myself going here in a rush any time soon unless I have a group of 20 to seat.

Question: How is the sushi?

I've been here a couple times but after trying out sushi restaurants in other countries and having a few omakase experiences, I just don't feel it's great as it used to be. Customer service is always good. Nonetheless, I still recommend you to try it out if you're looking for very good sushi in Toronto!First VisitLobster Platter ($85/$135)This had a good selection of fish and everything was fresh. Highly recommended if you want to try a little bit of everything.Lobster Broth Miso Soup ($5)I believe this comes with the platter. This is one of my favourite miso soups and you also receive a nice lobster claw. The soup has a sweetness to it from the lobster and it's very tasty.Aburi ($28)This platter is a good mix of the different kinds of Aburi they have if you want to try a bit of everything.Scallop Nigiri (n/a)Unfortunately, I don't remember the price. I'm a huge fan of scallops and this was a very traditional preparation with the soy sauce already brushed onto the sushi. Very delicious piece!Most Recent VisitLobster PlatterEbi Oshizushi ($15) & Salmon Oshizushi ($17)These ones were my favourite out of the Aburi so we ordered only these two types. The flavours work very well together and they do a good job with the torching and the amount of sauce.Uni Nigiri (N/A)This piece was somewhat mediocre. I've had better at other restaurants but it could be a seasonality thing or maybe the batch that day wasn't amazing.

Question: How is size?

I am a huge fan of bubble tea and Chatime is my go-to place as there are so many locations around the city. This location is located in the core of downtown and it is always packed. The line always curves around the washroom and the seats are quite crammed. There are two washrooms/stalls. It is a small store and most of the time, there is a table or two that's usually available. The workers do not take long to make the drinks and there are more seats near the front of the store, right in front of the window. I ordered the Roasted Popcorn Milk Tea with regular sugar levels and regular ice levels. Personally, it is my favourite drink here. It has a very unique flavour, tasting similar to coffee or cereal. There is also free wifi here!

Question: How was the menu?

The food was good. Would recommend the bibimbap and the green tea cheese cake. Baked oyster was not bad, just a bit too salty for me. I also tried one of their cocktail it was tasty. Around $80 for two of us and honestly we was just half full so it was pricy. I have only 2 stars because of their service. We waited more than 45 minutes before we finally got our bibimbap on table, despite that during this time we urged the waitress like 3 times. We were so annoyed, sitting there for 45 minute with nothing on table.

Question: Is it a good meat?

I had some high expectations because a friend recommended this place when I said I was craving some In-N-Out burgers.  Although they are similar in that they both use very fresh beef, the burgers are pretty expensive.  We spent over $30 for just two burgers and fries.  I got the High Priest and my boyfriend got the California Classic.  The High Priest was basically a Big Mac but with better buns and patties. The patties were quite juicy but there wasn't much about them that stood out to me.  The restaurant is pretty small and can get quite loud during their busy times.  Overall, I feel like this place is a little over priced but their burgers are pretty good.
