Grand Opening of Flip, a New Burger Joint in the Manhattan Bloomingdale's

I hate to be the voice of dissent, but I went there today and I enjoyed it for what it was (a small restaurant inside of a department store). My lamb burger was cooked perfectly medium-rare and juicy, the burger-bun ratio was appropriate (bun was good too).

Even the beverages were good (I got the tea, which they say is from Tavalon - a big tea company here in NYC, always good), my friend got the milkshake - not bad.

The only thing I could really complain about the location - impossible to find!

@millions: Thanks for the report! It's good to hear how the burgers are a few months later.

Well, I went this weekend. I ordered the "wagyu," medium rare, with american cheese on the plain brioche. I skipped the fries because I really shouldn't have been eating so close to my dinner reservations.

I thought it was well seasoned, perfectly-cooked, and juicy. Actually among the very best burgers I've had in New York City. The burgers are somewhat expensive, but not out of line with other sit-down joints. In fact, the import drafts were only $7, and appeared to be about 20 ounces.

I recommend people give it a shot before passing judgment. I was pleasantly surprised.

In this economy, will people trek to the lower level of Macy's for a $15 burger, even in Manhattan?

@thaitalian56: Nothing wrong with being the "voice of dissent," considering that you're the only person who tried it! I wouldn't mind going back in a month to see if things have changed. And I didn't try the lamb so it's nice to get feedback about that. I liked the bun and milkshake too. Crazy location though and overall, still quite pricey.. :(

I didn't mean for this post to sound as anti-Flip as it came off. If I were just talking about it in real life I probably wouldn't sound the same. But I did say how I felt about the food. It's not bad—it's just...uh...expensive and in a weird location.
