Nice pretty place on Hollywood Blvd, of which there are a shortage. Good modern wood interior - reminds me somewhat of Deluxe in Phoenix, actually, which may just be the general floorplan and not the decor as such. Beers are a big yawn. The shakes are good - unusual because they use frozen custard so there is a yogurt-like zing at the end of each sip. Thick as hell. Burgers taste like the patties aren’t fresh even when they’re super hot. And I feel like the toppings - not the beef - make them delicious. The effort is certainly on par with the FO, but the end product is not. It gets a 10 for food for the sheer variety. Come here to eat.

Great location with a respectable tap list and a very ambitious menu for bar food. Amazing burgers and shakes. Well worth a visit.

High end burgers and a well thought out beer menu equals a great place in my books. the atmosphere was kind of yuppie/trendy, but that is really my only complaint. Only one waitress for most of the evening, but she seemed to handle the number of tables pretty well. I imagine things could get slow here if it was really busy. Prices are what you might expect for H’wood, I’d recommend going for their happy hour from 4-7pm for $4 draft beer and a selection of discounted appetizers.

Visited 1/13/08 at 1:30pm. Seating was not a problem in this modestly sized restaurant. Modern wood paneling lends a classy air, as do the flatscreen TVs that show random images of surfing, cave diving, desert dunes and Planet Earth style nature footage with no sound. No sports networks on the TVs! The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was great: I had the Diablo burger and my friend has the Bleu Cheese burger, both made with Kobe beef. Sublime, as were the fries (served with catsup, as it should be). My friend had an Old Rasputin on nitro. I tried to order (all on draft) an Oaked Arrogant Bastard, a Double Bastard, an Avery White Rascal, and a Stone XI? None were available. The problem was an out of date beer menu. These had all been replaced with other brews. I wound up with a Telegraph Porter. Some people near me were enjoying a bottle of Brother Thelonious. Truly, a great beer selection. Overall, a great place, if a little pricey. With tip, our two burgers and two beers came out to $54.00!!! Gotta ding some overall points for that. Everything but the food prices makes me want to come back again.
