I stopped in today for a leisurely lunch at Pure, because I was around the mid-levels and had a hankering for a burger. GBU has decent burgers, but I wanted something better. A burger from a real restaurant.I'll have to say I liked it. I ordered 'medium' and the burger was juicy and flavorful, and also quite enormous. I did have one complaint...Mayonnaise! It doesn't say on the menu that they're going to slather your burger in mayonnaise, on both sides of the bun. The server never asks. The burg

Mayonnaise! It doesn't say on the menu that they're going to slather your burger in mayonnaise, on both sides of the bun. The server never asks. The burger just comes out, covered in mayonnaise. Blech. I scraped as much of it off as I could. They really should let you choose which condiments, and how much of each, you want on your burger.
Burger score: 8/10* (The score is what the burger would have gotten, if there had been no sneak-attack mayonnaise)
The burger came with fries, which weren't all that great. Mushy and greasy and unappetizingly burnt-brown in color. Cooked in oil that wasn't hot enough, and for too long. A lame effort: 3/10
Also, there were pickles. Normally I don't like sweet pickles, but these were very subtly sweet, and nicely crunchy. 6/10
All in all, it satisfied my burger craving. The bill was $212 and I didn't even get a beer, so it's definitely not everyday fare. The restaurant has nice open air seating, which was great on such a nice day.
Restaurant score: 7/10
