Great modern take on american food, Slow drink Service at vip bar, too many paparazzis in the front, celebs inside & lindsay lohan taking selfies in the bathroom. Worth the hype! Book in advance.
One of the best burgers I ever had. Order their classic 'Ari Gold' Cheeseburger with their delicious chicken wings and fries!
