Poe's Kitchen at the Rattlesnake -- burger

My best food buddy found out about this restaurant and we went to try out their famous burger.
It's walking distance from newbury street and you could also take the T and get off at Arlington.
When you walk in, on your right there is a full bar and the lights are dimmed. The vibe is relaxing and perfect for a drink with a friend.
We ordered a chipotle wings to share. There are around 8 pieces of chicken, rubbed with smoked jalapeƱo and served with poblano blue cheese. The wings are not too spicy and the meat is very juicy.
Next up our main course.
I ordered the Prime Rib Poe Dunker: Peppercorn-rubbed, shaved prime rib with brie, horseradish-sage mayo, black lava sea salt, jalapeno powder & onion broth dipping sauce
The description is very attractive but the sandwich is not as flavorful. The prime rib was soft but because the onion broth dipping sauce was too salty and it covered the flavor of the rib and mayo.
Should have ordered the Burger instead.
My friend ordered the Poe Burger: Kobe beef burger stuffed with lobster, foie gras & black truffles & served with house-cured whiskey bacon, avocado & Irish porter cheese on brioche
Fantastic. The beef is perfectly cooked and you could taste every ingredients in the burger. The chewiness of the lobster, the rich and creamy foie gras and the aromatic black truffles. Personally i think the bacon is too thick but it still hasn't over power the patty. The avocado also had creaminess to the burger too. Overall this burger is splashing with flavors but also very very heavy. One more side note, their fries is crispy, thick and delicious. 
You should definitely go try out some of the other food on the menu and give me some comments. Go try out the burger too! Worth it.
