When choosing between the $11 Park Grill Burger and the $17 American “Kobe” Burger, we splurged for their pricier offering, wanting to fully experience one of the city’s best. Further, [...]
While enjoying a few beverages at happy hour, we decided to make it a business “meating” by ordering burgers.
