Ahi Burger from The Fix

The Fix Burger Bar was the June stop for Foodies; just happen to be my birthday as well so I was looking forward to a fun filled evening with great friends. If you had been at the original Mezcal then you would recognize the layout, yet the décor was changed. The overall atmosphere was low key and inviting.

I do not eat red meat but assumed they would be sure to have a veggie burger or perhaps even a fish burger. Not sure if I have mentioned before but I do not look at a menu before I go to a new restaurant, I love the element of surprise. To my delight, they offered both a veggie and fish, along with some non-meat meals as well.

I ordered the sangria to start – oh wait, we are talking about food. Okay, we ordered the Blue Cheese Polenta Tater Tots to start and share, they were delicious. Coated perfectly, the childhood memory of a tater tot was brought to an adult level, sophisticated with a twist. They were accompanied by a duo of delicious dipping sauces. One very spicy the other, blue cheese was for me the perfect sauce for dipping.

The Chef was so gracious to send out many of the appetizers they have to offer for us to all sample and share. I have to say the Chicken Wings were amazing! I do not really care for wings but the flavor/rub on these and the crispiness was just perfection.

For my meal I ordered the “Non-Burger” The Ahi – Seared tuna, spicy kimchi (had them hold), sesame chips, Sriracha aioli, sweet soy, sesame roll, side of the veggie fries. I have to say, I loved this non-burger, burger. The fish was cooked perfectly, seared just enough but not too raw. The flavors were robust and not too spicy, just a delicious mix of flavor and texture. The veggie fries were very good, lightly battered and tasty, very different. Our server was a great sport with how loud and large our group was. She was very attentive and welcoming. Kudos to her, and the Chef of course.

I will certainly go back to The Fix, loved the food, the adult milk shakes sounded amazing for a dessert drink but I was super full. In addition, let’s be honest, I need more chicken wings! You thought I was going to say sangria, didn’t you?

The recently renovated space formerly occupied by the departure of the original Mezcal to their new larger restaurant lends itself well to Niche Hospitality Groups latest venture. The Fix is a welcome addition to Shrewsbury Street offering higher end burgers, cocktails and shakes.

After reviewing the menu I opted for a fairly traditional burger called “The Crunchy” which was their house hamburger mix topped with fried prosciutto, a Parmesan crisp, potato chips and garlic mayo, mustard and pickles on a sesame roll. For good measure (and to add a little health to this burger) I opted to add avocado. The burger was a well prepared perfectly cooked top quality hamburger. The Parmesan crisp was the highlight of the burger served like a slice of cheese this baked crunchy Parmesan crisp was a guilty pleasure similar to when you make a grilled cheese and eat the cheese that has crisped up in the bottom of the frying pan. The crispy prosciutto and avocado also added to make this a great burger.

The one area that I think could use a little improvement would be the fries. The fries I had as well as the other varieties I sampled all seemed like they could have benefitted from a little more seasoning and being a little crispier. Overall The Fix is a great choice if you are looking for a gourmet burger. The staff was friendly and helpful and the burgers were worth the trip.
