Exhibit 79 -- Centennial Crafted Beer & Eatery









Somerset -- The Verdict


Solid, consistent scores for the burger scene at this Gold Coast hotel restaurant. The flavors were a bit risky, but came together well. Nice char, yummy cheese, good grill on the bun, tasty fries. Goldilocks sized and cooked: just right. Great flavor, great handling and just enough to fill you up, and leave you wanting just a little bit more.  Low 84; high 93; average of 88.

Exhibit 78 -- Somerset






Beatrix -- The Verdict


Nothing too fancy -- unless you count kale -- which we’d rather not.  A good-sized patty.  A bit of inconsistency among the reviewers:  some found the burger just a tad on the dry side, while others found just the right amount of drippings in the bun.  If you have to get a burger at Beatrix, you probably shouldn't be there.  But if you are there, it is a safe option and won't disappoint.  Good fries, big room.  Low of 77; high of 89; average of 81.

Exhibit 77 -- Beatrix






The Albert -- The Verdict

“Flashes of brilliance,” says our lowest reviewer, though we disagreed on how many flashes and how bright.  We all loved the ambiance and the service, but the detractors criticized a smallish burger and a dryish bun.  Some loved the char; others found that it didn’t make up for the sins.  We all loved the masterful fries and the ketchup display!  Low 74; high 91; average 79.
