NYC – 12/19/17 – Augustine

I had high hopes for the whisky burger at Augustine based on other reviews but found it to be oddly flavorless which was completely disappointing considering the very high $27 price point.  Thankfully the fries were quite good.  I also did not get the accompanying shot of whiskey that I thought came with it and others at the bar were served.  Such likely would have helped!  The waldorf salad was a bit basic and nothing I would order again considering I have made many far better versions at home.  I love the space and the energy was fantastic.  But in the future I will stick to the lobby at the Beekman (which is gorgeous) or Fowler & Wells.

Waldorf salad – honeycrisp apples, toasted walnuts, celery hearts, Greek yogurt dressing

NYC – 4/25/16 – Salvation Burger

I suppose good timing that I was able to visit before their kitchen fire but not good timing to finally be posting this now.  This may have been some of my favorite giardiniera and I would absolutely have a double order on my next visit.  And while in photos the burger patty appears to be a bit too ‘perfect’ I thought it was quite good and I loved the ramp butter.  Fingers crossed that it will re-open soon.
