Eatt on State and Hubbard

Sorry I wanted to post this just forgot to do this a while back in January :)

After we were outside for a few hours of ice skating and shopping we were heading home to grab something to eat.   We ran into Eatt where I couldn't remember what use to be there and then it dawned on me Vongs Thai Kitchen.  I wasn't going to step in there at first but my wife wanted to give it a try.

When we stepped inside, the decor and atmosphere was really nice.  It's like an upscale diner in the River North area.  The prices were a tad bit pricey but that usually doesn't discourage me from trying a new restaurant.  I'm a true believer of, if you charge me a higher price I have a higher expectation with the food and service.

I've been reading lots of reviews about the breakfast and people being unhappy with certain things so I decided to try their dinner entrees.  My wife ordered the lobster mac and cheese, the chopped salad, and I ordered the signature burger at Heatt.  The mac and cheese was good but I've had better and the one at English is way better.  The salad was also good.  When I come to a diner, I'm pretty much expecting their chefs to screw up the burgers since I usually order medium rare.  My wife made a comment about how if a place has a section on the menu that defines the different ways you can order meat, they should know what they are doing.  I didn't agree with what she said =D

When I got my burger first thing I check is the meat.  I was very impressed that the meat was medium rare all the way through.  It was made just right along with a pretzel bun and all the condiments.  The pretzel bun was very thin so when the meat settled the bun was really soggy.  I literally inhaled the burger in 4 minutes.  Maybe I was just hungry but I also asked my wife to try it and see if she agreed and she did.  The burger had some familiarity with the way it was seasoned so  I asked the waiter who was the owner of Heatt.  He replied, Rose Bud.

I made a suggestion to the waiter to let their management know if they brought their pretzel bun over from Rose Bud, the burger would be perfect.  Before I forget about the truffle tater tots, those were Great!  I love the tater tots.  Even if you don't want to order the burger you should order it as a side.

Maybe I selected the right items on Heatt's menu but I will definitely recommend this to others.  I will want to try their breakfast menu and see if it's consistent with what others are say but for now I'm a fan of this new place.
