Sails is a great new spot in an old location, previously the River Cat Grille on Rowayaton Avenue.  The scene is a good one with a main dining room and  a fabulous bar area with seating for lunch, brunch and dinner.  The menu has many options from seafood to steaks and meatball sliders in between.  The Skirt Steak and Truffle Fries is a hit and the Meatball Sliders are a great way to start a delicious mean. Just don’t follow up your starter with the Philly Burger..Skip this one folks.  However, don’t skip the Sails experience because its a great one and will be around for a long time unlike it’s preceding owner.

“The Philly Burger”

(Mozzarella Cheese, Sauteed Onions, Mushrooms and Hot Cherry Peppers)

Ratings:

Beef Flavor: 5.6  - No flavor whatsoever…what happened to a little salt, pepper and some Worcestershire Sauce?

Beef Temperature: 8.0- It was cooked nicely with a pink center but on the verge of medium.

Bun: 7.0 – I can’t quite figure this bun out.  It was a cross between a potato bun and a brioche. Sounds awesome, no? Not quite…I like the fact it says “different” but was too airy and a bit dry.  Didn’t help the lack of flavor from the beef.

Toppings: 4.6 – Weak, if those are hot cherry peppers then they should rename this kind to MILD and emphasis in the capital “M”.  If it hadn’t said on the menu I wouldn’t have known they were even there.

Originality: 6.0 – Not everybody has a Philly Burger…

Fries: 5.5- Maybe they were out of salt today???

Overall: 6.1

Go and Enjoy Sails!  I will keep going back for sure, just not for the burger
