| - Located right next to the Grand, Triple George is a great place downtown to grab a bite. It's a short walk from Fremont Street, so it is easily accessible if you're in that area.
I came here on a Thursday evening with two girlfriends for a late night dinner. Not very many people in, so they were very accommodating, and sat us immediately. We started off with drinks. We each had dirty martinis--so good! The blue cheese stuffed olives (order extra ;)) were a beautiful compliment to the perfectly shaken martini. The table bread was warm, crusty, and delicious. We ordered the baked goat cheese marinara as an appetizer; it's served with garlic toasted crusty bread. Delicious! I swear I could eat the whole thing.
For entrees we ordered the porcini crusted rib eye (medium rare), the shrimp george, and the vegan chicken marsala (yes--they have a vegan menu and it's pretty sweet!). We all shared, and everything was great, particular the shrimp george. It's stuffed with crab and served with a lemon butter sauce, veggies and rice pilaf. Very tasty! The porcini crusted rib eye was also very good--not the best I've ever had, but definitely satisfying. I love the fact that they had a vegan menu. One of my girlfriends is vegetarian, so it's great to find places that cater to her peoples ;) And I'm not gonna lie their vegan menu ain't half bad! The vegan chicken marsala was DEE-lish!
Our server was prompt and sweet. He noticed it was mine and my girlfriend's birthdays, and he brought over chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. If I weren't so full, I would have polished this off haha! But yeah, it was definitely a satisfying evening. The bill came out to approximately $50 each, with tip included. Not bad for all the food we got. Triple George is high up on my list for the many great downtown eateries!
