We went to George for a birthday celebration. We opted for the 7-course tasting menu. The food was quite good. The ingredients were top notched and fresh. There was a good variety of flavours and ingredients over the 7 courses. The food had great contrast of texture. The plating was beautiful. The compilation of some dishes was so complex that I had a hard time splitting a half out to share with my dining partner. The only pet peeve I had was that there were unreasonably long breaks between the second, the third, and the fourth courses. In all, I recommend the tasting menu if this is your first time at George, or the only time should you are visiting Toronto. I personally would opt for the regular menu on my next visit. This is because the tasting menu is quite expensive when compared to the regular menu. Further, 7 courses are too much food for me. The 5-course tasting menu would have been sufficient.
Note for diners who are interested in the tasting menu: 7-course tasting menu takes approximately 3 hours to finish. I was told the 10-course one would take 4 hours. If you are interested in the bigger tasting menu, kindly allocate sufficient time when you make the reservation.
