This is the most I’ve ever spent NOT to get a meal. This place reminds me of the Emperor without the clothes. Probably had we realized that portions are small tapas style, we would have never stayed. The $6 cup of bisque soup was watery, the fried clams greasy.

Lettuce's foray into no frills burger bars is a huge disappointment. Burgers are pre-formed pre-prepared food service hockey pucks that have zero flavor. Fries are OK, a bit like shoestring potato snack food. Store location is “found space” with a very small seating area.
Cost is a bit steep for burger, drink and fries. It will run you around $12. The chain really needs to use larger, firmer bakery style buns for the "standard" (really double) burger. All orders are packaged "to go." Burger is tightly wrapped in foil, so sandwich bun often arrives squished down. The beef is unseasoned, so most flavor comes from the condiments but at least the burger is cooked fresh. SHARE the regular size fries.
