This place was under construction for a stretch amount of time. Knowing they were a new bar in town, I was always curious how it would go. Then I found out they'd have smashburgers on the menu & that's all I needed to know.
This spot is in very low light, I loved the red lighting. It's perfect for a date, very intimate & not as spacious. A saw a few friendly faces that were part of the staff & they all did a great job. 2-3 servers were helping us out from the moment we sat down to the moment before we left.
Kicked things off with the Vieux Carré: rye whiskey, cognac, sweet vermouth & benedictine. Very smooth & had me feeling right. I originally ordered the Corn & Oil, which was sold out & came off as a very popular choice by what one of the servers told me (which I also seem to always order when I come to a new spot... something that gets sold out). After that took place, the smashburger was ready to be eaten.
I went with the veggie patty (extra $2) & the burger was so good that I probably could've eaten another one. Comes with fries & in what seems like a steel burger box (I like the look + presentation). I might have to steer away from the veggie next time as there's bacon on the regular one (I love bacon).
Great experience. I can see myself being a regular (the spot is not even two minutes away from me... even walking, no exaggeration). Outside of the friends I saw that were on staff, I saw a few friends enjoying themselves as well (who also posted a ton since Tina's opened that made my anticipation run thin for checking them out). Plenty of drinks to choose from with a handful of food + snack options. All in all, I enjoyed myself.
