Call it a risk if you must, I ordered a cheeseburger at a fancy restaurant that is known for seafood. The menu includes steak and the restaurant group is know for quality meat and top notch chefs. That's why I took the gamble.
I ordered med-rare and for the most part, it was. My first bite let me know that the chef might not really care to cook a burger. An over abundance of salt and seasoning made it difficult to taste the meat. Maybe it was cooked on a grill that had not been cleaned and the seasonings from the previous dish was still present? I kept eating. Hey, it's a burger. By the time I finished, I was even less impressed. The bun was pretty good. I'm not going to say it was one of the best I've had.
Later, while I talked with friends about the experience, they said to me "really? a cheeseburger?" My reply was "sure, why not? does a chef at a restaurant that specialty is seafood only know how to cook seafood? a quality beef, grilled. not too complicated"
What I learned from this experience, don't tell your friends that you ordered a burger at a high-end restaurant that is know for seafood. ;)
Overall, the restaurant was really nice and the atmosphere and staff were wonderful. The people I went to dinner with enjoyed their seafood dishes. They too felt as though for the restaurant group and price the dishes were only very good.
I don't care to bash any particular restaurant so, I won't name names. This blog is mostly for my record. I'll know which place I went to. If you read these blogs please, always understand, they are my opinion, tastes etc.
My experience:
Location, atmosphere and staff were great. Price, not bad. Food, so-so. I went in expecting more. Maybe that is where I went wrong.
