| - My girls and I celebrated my birthday at this lovely bistro last night. I couldnt have asked for a more amazing time, not only was the ambiance inviting and bustling, the service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. We called in a day in advance and the manager set up off-the-menu entrees for us, which came out in perfectly timed orchestration. In all honesty, it was A LOT of food, but that doesnt mean we didnt appreciate it. We went home with 3 bags full of leftovers!
He started us off with the fresh bread and butter, then came the cheese platter followed by the Shrimp Provecal and the Lump Crab Cake. All three were shared and were unbelievable. Then came the salads, which were huge, fresh and clean on the palate. This was followed by a family style service of a shrimp platter (not on the menu) it had hints of fennel and citrusy notes which was sat on a mountain of Israeli couscous with figs and citron marmalade, very delicious. Another family sized entree of beef medallions over rice pilaf and garlicky sugar snap peas and roasted peppers, as though all that wasnt enough, we had a gorgeous lobster to boot. I know, I know, us little piggies made room for dessert which was Creme Brulee and Lemon creme puffs. I recommend the creme brulee to the entire world! All this took place over 4 hours, lol. I had the time of my life and the managers came out time-to-time to check up on us, chat with us and this made our dinner that much more special. Even the chef came out to our table twice to make sure we were enjoying his unique creations. Double chocolate brownie points for everyone we encountered at Georges, thanks a bunch for a wonderful night! Oh yeah, imagine my surprise when he even offered to bring my car to the front because we parked on the 3rd floor in hellsville. Gotta love it :)
