by Carola Woller on I was fortunate enough to be the first customer to enter the doors--literally, and quite by chance. Aside from the waitstaff, my friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant eating and trying the food (and all for free!). It was definitely a nice experience--not sure how and why I was permitted entry, but it was definitely fun to smirk at those denied entry after me. now onto the food.... Money has obviously gone into this place, as expected of an establishment bearing the name of the rather conceited Bobby Flay. I decided upon the Napa Valley burger, simply because "goat cheese" immediately caught my attention. I ordered my burger to a medium doneness, and it was cooked perfectly so. My Napa Valley came with a substantial amount of goat cheese that melted and oozed pleasantly with the patty. I also ordered a side of the sweet potato fries that came with a delicious honey mustard horseradish sauce (tables come with an assortment of condiments as well--jalapeno sauce, which was my friend's favorite, a chipotle ketchup, a burger sauce, and a honey mustard, off the top of my head). i enjoyed what i had. especially cuz it was free. that having been said, i dunno if i would come back to pay $8 for one of those burgers. if you want fries? another $3. and a milkshake? tack on another $5, and suddenly you're looking at a $15 bill. now, if they had some sort of meal plan, or HAPPY HOUR (!!!!).... bump this review up to four stars immediately. until then.... three.
by Morgan Konrad on IF you can possibly manage to get there without breaking more than 3 laws (Civic as well as Physics) you will likely have a good time. There was so much construction, diverted traffic and road closures that we needed 4 runs just to eventually get to the place (including a jaunt down a one way - the wrong way). The website makes it look posh but oh no it is not. The floors are grimy so just keep your head cocked up at the 50 or so black chandeliers. The Burlesque act was sizzling but the men were rude and elbowed us girls out of the line of sight (they'll never get any that way...) Drinks are pricey but strong and the crowd decidedly dirty and hip. It felt like I was back home in the Mish again. Awww. Note - the sign still says "Little Pedro's".
