Admirable new burger joint

Not being fans of communal tables, we'd almost opted for a takeaway. Good thing we didn't as we would have missed out on the surprisingly great service.

I tried the "Great Australian Bite" minus the beetroot - beetroot was not a default option in the take-aways I'd grown up with.

The buns are made for Bite Me by Sonoma, they have a chewy exterior which helps them hold together, a point of differentiation from other gourmet burger joints which are often let down by their choice of weak dusted bun.

The "Great Australian Bite" is the cheapest burger at $10, but well worth it considering the quality of the meat and bread. I'm looking forward to trying the King Island beef burger and the Wagyu with truffle.

The service was impeccable with an attention to detail that is often missing from other finer restaurants. We had a BYO 6-pack with bottles taken away as soon as they were finished, new bottles opened and even an offer to chill the remaining beers!

I didn't understand the reason for communal dining, as there's more than enough room to have built in tables along the walls with service coming up the middle. I guess it's much better for groups of 4+ in such a narrow space.

Highly recommended, there is a focus on the quality of the ingredients and obviously on the service. I hope they do well.
