| - I found George's for Restaurant week and had no previous knowledge of it. I wanted to come in to the experience completely blind. I was surprised at how good the food was, and how well portioned the plates were. It was a Thursday, so I kicked off the night with a $5 girly martini (a guy sometimes just wants to have a pretty drink) . Here is where we found out about the $1 Oyster bar during happy hour, which I will definitely be coming back to experience.
Dinner consisted of 3 Courses, which accompaniment of great bread and butter. 1st course was the pork belly. I came into it excepting a small sliver of meat. This was not the case, I received large square hunk of awesomely tender and juicy belly, with tangy drizzled sauce. A+
The main course, I ventured out the normal and got the crusty salmon with really tasty Black Rice. It was great for the variety, but I would say if you want the standard preferred experience of a main meal, try the short ribs.
Desert was a crème brulee, and one of the best that I have had in recent memory. My counterparts got the chocolate mousse and there was a ton of it, all of it fluffy and smooth.
The only thing that was a slight knock was the time it took to get the food, but I wouldn't ding them a star for it, because of restaurant week and dealing with the influx of people. Also, allowed us to have some friendly table banter.
Go here for a good French food experience. Maybe valet your car to, if you don't want to deal with the maze of parking decks and doors.
