My husband and I went to George for our anniversary dinner. We chose to sit outside and it is a beautiful patio area. It was a perfect night weather-wise and the atmosphere was absolutely lovely. We had the 7 course tasting menu and were pleased but not blown away by the meal. We had a cocktail to begin the evening and before that was finished, our first course was served. But, NOT with the wine pairing. That arrived after we were finished. Not an auspicious beginning. It did improve from then on. The food is beautifully presented and quite delicious but, not always seasoned enough (ie salt!). My favourite course was the soft-shell crab. It was crispy and full of flavour. My husband loved his lobster risotto. Neither of the desserts were good. Mine was a gummy paste that had no taste at all and my husband's was a dry cake with strange burnt coconut crisps on top. They did write an anniversary message on the dessert plates which was a lovely touch. It is interesting that the meals are different. I haven't decided whether or not this is a good thing. But we did get to try many different dishes - well 14! Overall a very good dinner with a few misses.
Absolutely delicious beyond description. Three of us ate a la carte, vs the tasting menu, because we didn't want to do cheese and dessert ... for me, the stand outs were the artichoke 2nd course, the ricotta gnocchi and the halibut 3rd course. Service outstanding. We ate on the elegant patio behind the restaurant, just delightful.
My wife and I wanted to do a simple wedding for a small group of friends without the hassle (and cost) of planning a bigger celebration, and George made this super easy for us. We worked with their event planner Shanna, and she was amazing. She laid out everything we needed to know (and what info we needed to provide her), and was completely open to changes up to and including on the day of the wedding. They never made us feel like there was anything we couldn't do, or any change that couldn't be accommodated. The side patio courtyard was a perfect and romantic spot for our small ceremony, and the Grand Georgian Room was a beautiful and equally romantic room for our dinner/reception. The food was delicious and looked stunning on the plate. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how amazing the plating was! Kudos to the chef.
All I can say is thank you to Chef Lorenzo for creating such a delicious, fun, inspiring menu! Thank you to Leslie, our amazing server for pacing our evening perfectly. And thank you to Ian for sharing your knowledge and choosing perfect wines for every bite. If you have something special to celebrate--George should be your go to restaurant in Toronto. I know it's mine/
I can see this restaurant getting five stars from some people, and perhaps only three stars from others. Both the decor and the food are similar in that they make bold choices, but do not always seem to work well together. Moorish window treatments with postmodern art sculptures and industrial grey walls in places (plus exposed ceilings) are all vivid and interesting, but not really coherent--which was fine for me, but not my dinner companion. Same for the food. Beautifully plated (though a really odd one-third full and two-thirds empty look on one dinner entree plate), each ingredient well-prepared, but with pieces that do not work together. Why were there toasted corn muffin pieces with my wild boar? Why put anise as a flavor with the soup that was already overly complicated? Yet much of the food was really quite lovely and completely successful (the pheasant appetizer, the beef entree). Portions are on the "nouvelle cuisine" (read SMALL side). Competent, if not warm service. So go and decide for yourself!
We were at George for an anniversary dinner last night. Read good comments on-line. We have been to many better restaurants in Toronto and around the world.The kitchen is full of active cooks given the restaurants fine dining theme. The service was good with many waiting staff regularly swarming around. We didn't realize there was an outdoor patio.Overall and given the delicate preparation of most of the generally smaller courses, the flavour was disappointing and no better than any other extremely medium to high priced establishments. The steak was too chewing given its cut. The duck was oddly served on little skewers in an attempt to replicate a Japanese version. It was somewhat chewy as well.Other than the tasting menu, the regular menu was short on selection and served in small portions. The creativity was generally lost given the resulting ordinary flavours. Coctails were good while the wine was expensive. We were recently in Italy and ordered an Italian wine.Good but not the best for the price.We probably won't go back which is disappointing when you look for repeat restaurants that have a little more class.
A1 dining experience. Could not be more pleased with my decision to take my wife to GEORGE for her birthday recently. The food was exceptional! My wife was very happy...thank you, GEORGE!
George is my favorite restaurant in Toronto and the latest visit reinforced my view that it is simply a great restaurant with very good service. We had the five course tasting menu which at George means two people get ten different items. If anything their is two much food with five courses which had to date has discouraged me from the 7 or 10 course options. The cost of the 5 course menu is $115.
