What an incredible dining experience! My wife and I recently visited this restaurant, and we were absolutely blown away by the delicious food and warm ambiance. We couldn't have asked for a better evening.

First and foremost, let's talk about "The Forager" Portobello Burger. Wow! This burger was a masterpiece of flavors and textures. The juicy, blackened sous-vide portobello was cooked to perfection and had an incredibly rich, earthy taste. The Avo mash added a creamy, indulgent element that paired beautifully with the chimichurri marinated tomatoes, which brought a burst of freshness to every bite. The sunflower sprouts added a delightful crunch, and the sriracha-pimento olive aioli was the perfect blend of spicy and savory. It was a burger experience like no other, and I can't wait to have it again!

And then there were the "Crispy Naked Fries." These fries were simply outstanding. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully fluffy on the inside. They were seasoned just right, enhancing their natural potato flavor. I couldn't stop munching on them, and neither could my wife!

The service was impeccable too. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating a lovely atmosphere for our dinner.

Overall, our dining experience at this restaurant was a five-star delight! The Forager Portobello Burger and Crispy Naked Fries are absolute must-tries, and I can't recommend this place enough. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply looking for a unique and delicious meal, this restaurant has got you covered. We'll definitely be back for more culinary adventures. Thank you for a fantastic evening!

Very friendly service and excellent food preparation. I had the Seoul Burger which was exactly what I wanted it to be. However I was unimpressed with the Italian meatball sliders as they were dry meatballs covered in red sauce. The buns were not toasted to my recollection.

The burger was really big greasy and good!This is located in an interesting indoor outdoor food court that we struggled a bit to find because it’s in the back of the building. You have to order your food and they give you a device to take to any table. You pick up your food when it’s ready. It was really busy but it was nice to have other options available.

Solid burgers, great garlic fries. The beef has big flavor but the patties are 4 ounces too small. I ordered the surfer, maybe the cowboy is better or just get a plain burger to enjoy the beefy goodness.

I was expecting good quality ingredients and was very disappointed. Bun was ok but the meet was poor quality and tough. Fries were soggy and the only ketchup they had was with high fructose corn syrup, in addition to corn syrup itself. : (
There was to much sauce on the burger so it was very sloppy and soggy.

I really wish I had a better experience here. The service was wonderful. Staff was absolutely friendly and helpful.

The burgers were, unfortunately, lackluster. I ordered a kimchi burger that just didn't have the kick that I wanted a kimchi burger to have. The kimchi was flavorless. The fried egg was perfect. Bun was toasted and beautiful.

My sister ordered a different burger that had dressed salad on it, a great idea in principle, except it soaked the bottom bun into mush within the few minutes before we started eating.

I want to give a lower rating but I really hope the management reads this and makes a couple adjustments to their menu.

I want to love this place

Edit after second visit:

Kimchi burger is still terrible, it's as of they rinsed the kimchi in water before adding it to the burger.

Fry's were okay.
