Such a refreshing drink – nicely sweet and mildly carbonated. I think the flavor of the blackberry wasn’t strong enough though and there was a bit too much lime in the mixture.

Amazing, amazing shakes… if this is any representation of the full line-up of shakes (I really couldn’t stomach more than one even though I wanted to try them all), Stand’s shakes are huge winners. The chocolate malt shake hit all the right notes and felt velvety, creamy and well-rounded. All shakes are made with gelato from Il Laboratorio del Gelato, which might explain how these are so mind-numbingly good. They’re also unfortunately $6 each so these might be quite a dangerous addiction.

These were a great example of what shoestring fries should taste and feel like – really crispy, fresh from the frier and perfectly salted- and went really well with the burgers.

This was a really good burger and cooked just perfectly (medium rare) so that the juices were leaking all over the plate before we were done.

Since I love mushrooms so much, I had to get the mushroom beef burger and I was so glad I did. I have to say this is one of my favorite burgers now – the meatiness and richness of the mushroom really complemented the smoky grilled flavor of the beef. I got mine medium since I don’t like bleeding meat and the burger was really firm but still juicy and bursting with flavor. I did notice that this was a bit under-seasoned but overall, excellent.
