Q: I'm a big Gordon Ramsay fan but BurGR fails to meet the high standards we've all grown so accustomed to seeing from him. We stopped by for a late lunch and were given a 30 minute wait for our table. Fair enough, however an hour later we still hadn't been seated and the front desk looked like a slow moving train wreck. There were about 4 different hostesses juggling 10-20 different groups of people and none of them seemed to be communicating with one another. When the manager stepped in we spoke to them and were promptly seated. Highlights: The quality of ingredients and presentation were very good. All of the food looked great. The burgers and fries were decently tasty but overall not worth the jumped up prices. Lowlights: Subpar service was the biggest disappointment. Our server was attentive at first but disappeared once our food was ordered. Each burger is made to order and you can specify the cooking temperature. All 4 of us ordered the same burger 'The American' but had different cooking preferences. They arrived with no markings as to which ones were cooked a certain way and we had to cut all of them in half to determine who's was who's. Ultimately it didn't matter as all of them were cooked well done. The only ketchup BurGR serves is made in house and is laced with a chipotle seasoning. If that isn't your thing, you won't be using any ketchup for your burger or fries. Try BurGR if you're a Ramsay fan or there's absolutely no wait. However the basic fare doesn't warrant the high prices.

Q: We were on our way to the Pink Pony only to find it closed down...so sad another tradition gone...thanks economy! Luckily Bandera is alive and kicking...this place was packed...hostess told us it would be a 30 minute wait for a table (Saturday Night)...we were able to snag a spot at the bar immediately. We got lucky! The food was fantastic...like always. I don't think there is anything bad on this menu. The Bartender talked us into the trout queso as an app...it was really good. The prime rib was so good (medium rare) and don't forget a side of mac and cheese. I'm getting hungry again just typing this. We did not have desert but I've had the key lime pie here in the past and it is fantastic. It is not always on the menu...so call ahead.

Q: In the trendy jewish area of mile end, this place isn't so bad. when the terrace is open, it's even better. I ate brunch/lunch here and while the menu was small, everything looked good. i especially thought the tuna tartare was nice. The portions on the poutine are great, and it's nice they have a sweet potato version. My friends say this place is great for drinks at night in this part of montreal. But at the end of the day, it's nothing special. it's just another nice place in mile end.

Q: I will echo most if the reviews here. This place is expensive but amazing. In my top five Scottsdale restaurants for sure. A few things not to miss: The sweet potato fries : best I have ever had Sea bass: as good as it gets The butter cake: quite possibly the best thing you can eat anywhere. Now I just have to wait for my arm and leg to grow back so I can go again.
