Three of us had the Grilled Angus Beef Burger, which is described as a smash burger. This would not be considered a smash burger in the US, where we are from, but it was the juiciest, most delicious burger we all had in a long time! We sat at a high top table, which was very comfortable, and I must say Queen Street was a beautifully decorated bar!
