    I highly recommend George restaurant. I was delighted with the 10 course tasting menu. Everything was balanced and tasted amazing. The original and inventive dishes were some of the best I have had for a tasting menu and is a MUST try if in Toronto!

    Be prepared to be to be surprised with a delicious award winning chef’s tasting menu. The open front kitchen was an orchestra of chefs at work and above a reflective mirror viewing of plating. Every plate was a masterpiece of culinary fusion.

    My wife and I visited on Nov. 25th, 2023 for our wedding anniversary and splurged on the 7 course tasting menu with the accompanying wine pairings. When you're paying $600+ for a dinner for 2 people, I think most of us hope to have a dining experience that is memorable, and this simply wasn't the case. I don't think we would return at half the price we paid. The food wasn't bad - it was simply not worth the price we paid, and did not live up to the reputation the restaurant has. I'm left with the feeling that many patrons who offer rave reviews simply haven't dined at world-class restaurants that do deserve their reputation. Key issues for us included: -Wine pairings/sommelier. The wines were lovely. They unfortunately often appeared 10-15 minutes before the course they were meant to accompany. It's really difficult to not chat and sip your wine, which meant our wine was often gone by the time the courses came out. On one occasion the wine never appeared for our course and our waiter had to apologize profusely. The sommelier was also very awkward and really did not enhance our dining experience. I would have preferred they just pour the wine and walk away. -Food temperature. Several courses were a mix of cool, room temperature, and warm ingredients, which felt unintentional - like had the hot ingredients cooled too much, or the cold ingredients not come to room temperature. It was very odd. -No "wow" factor. My wife and I had 14 unique dishes between us. Not a single one was memorable. For what we paid I would have expected a few examples of something really special, unique or interesting. If you have enough money that spending $350/person on a dinner doesn't make you raise your eyebrows, I'm sure you'll have a pleasant enough meal. For the rest of us, I'm not sure I can justify a recommendation or a return visit.

    Wonderful and creative dinner with exceptional service at our go to restaurant. Normally we have a tasting menu but we had theatre plans so did a smaller a la carte meal which was great. Everyone accommodated our time needs and we had plenty of extra time without being rushed.

    Only issue for such a high end restaurant, you really think they should be charging $5 for a very small basket of bread? Then taking that away without even asking if you wish to take the remainder home with you?

    Compliments to the whole team, front of the house and back of house for making this place into a magical destination! Kimberly was very attentive and helpful on my choices. It’s hard to hight my favourite dish but I can’t say enough about the duck breast and foil gras on lentils. All the flavours came together! The coconut martini was a surprising palate, perfect opening. Sommelier Patrick made the combination of my dessert wine pair so well with pistachio gelato. Chef Lorenzo showed up and I got a moment for a memorable picture shot! Coming back in the near future!

    Never disappointed going to George, this time we decided to do the full à la cart and share each dish! Each course was outstanding! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We also had our wedding reception at George 4 years ago. The service by Enzo was outstanding, from the anniversary card and congratulations by all made us feel special. Thank you for making our day so special. See you soon!

    Amazing spot with some impressive dishes. We were a group of 6 people and did the 5 course tasting menu. For each course they actually came out with 3 different dishes, so we were able to taste everything. The food was extremely delicious, the service was fantastic and the price was quite reasonable. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.

    Amazing tasting menu. The portions were generous for tasting plate so you get your money worth. It can be slightly smaller, I was getting full when eating main course. But overall the dishes were creative and delicious. Our waiter was attentive when need be and not hovering over you. Just a slight delay between certain course if I have to be honest.

    Delightful experience. We had the 7 house tasting menu. Interestingly, there was no "menu"; the courses appeared at the whim of the chef. My wife and I had different offerings for each course which was very unusual. Every plate was exquisite. If local wine is chosen then this is reasonably priced (and was delicious)

    As you would expect - The food and service was par excellent! We also got a few complimentary dishes from the chef in the form of an additional appetizer and dessert which was nice. The ambience was warm and welcoming however I found the decor style a bit dated for my liking. Overall we had a great time over some amazing food and drinks and high recommend this place!

    The trend of tasting menu courses is exactly that - a trend. Probably overrated. Service was very good. Lamb was disappointing being overcooked. Would not deter me from coming again but George has an awful lot of competition.

    A very good experience overall, but marred by some relatively simple fixes. Food and wine pairings were excellent, with the wine pairings being a particular highlight as they truly brought out some distinctive flavours and experiences with each dish. Primary server was excellent - engaging and humorous and just a pleasure to chat with. Would absolutely come again for the food - just traditional enough to appeal to those who find tasting menus tedious but also experimental enough to appeal to those with tastes that yearn for that new flavour combo to excite them. The major issue was timing, and it’s why I can’t rate it 5 stars overall. Courses felt rushed, pairings were sometimes poured after the dishes had arrived (and sometimes after dishes were nearly completed), and on one occasion food was almost placed before cutlery for the course. Having done several tasting menus before, the simple fix would be to slow down. We did 7 courses and pairings for a table of two, given they offer 10 courses plus pairings I struggle to imagine how that would work at the pace they set.
