He may like many of the things at Tony Liu's West Village hotspot August, giving it two stars, but New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni bashes the burger there:
August has its limits and disappointments. Some dishes were merely pleasant, and a few were unappealing, including a stringy casserole of salt cod and an overcooked and strangely sour hamburger. Desserts were uneven. Make sure to avoid a grainy, funky "chestnut truffle honey mousse."
