The Scene
From the owner of crowd-pleasing noodle house Republic comes this burger joint, filled with students and casual dates. In a riff on fast-food chains, the open kitchen sits behind a counter that looks like it should be topped with registers, but orders are taken tableside. A mural of diner booths and a soda-fountain with beer taps playfully extends the theme.
The Food
The 11 varieties of 7-ounce burgers, most on a sturdy brioche roll, come cooked to order, and the peppy waitstaff will gladly send it back if not. The crave-inducing house rendition boasts onion marmalade and a zesty sauce that would make a Big Mac blush, while the quinoa-packed veggie burger tempts even strict carnivores. Perfectly salted diner-cut fries and lightly battered onion rings are made in-house, and deserve better than the too-smoky housemade ketchup--stick to the Heinz. Il Laboratorio's gelato powers thick shakes--so good, you'll want just one straw.

The drinks are great, I only wish that the food measured up. We had between us a mint shake, the pineapple-lime soda and the lemon-basil drink and they were all great. Sweet potato fries (a special) were also tasty and crispy. None of us are beef eaters and this is where the place fell down. One friend had a veggie burger, which was tasteless. My friend and I had salmon burgers which didn't taste very good and left us burping fishiness for the next 6 hours. All in all the food was a major disappointment especially given that it's a little on the expensive side. My recommendation? Drop in for a drink and a lite snack, not a meal.

Excellent burger. The fresh Ginger beer was out if this world. Fries - crispy with salt fried on. Great find!

The first time I went when they first opened, I was excited- I love burgers. The first time, the burger and the service were just right. I went again the other day with my husband and I ordered the 'burger salad', a great, lowcarb option. It was supposed to be a salad with iceburg, romaine, frisee, and a burger, with croutons, caesar dressing and grated parmesan. It arrived with just romaine and iceburg. For $12, it should have had frisee. I asked our dizzy waitress why it didn't come with frisee and her response was to shrug and say they were out of it. My burger (minis) had quite a few hard things in it as well (must be ground up cartiledge), a big 'deal-breaker' for any burger joint in my opinion. I won't go back.
