The George

The worst Pub meal we have ever had. The Parma $28 was soggy the chips awful and the fish and chips was as small as a kids serve for $29 one small piece of battered fish about the size of 4 chicken nuggets. The entree calamari was also small about 6 small pieces for $21 The wine sav blanc was nice but the glasses only contained 3 mouthfuls. I usually have a glass with dinner. I ended up have 3 glasses which would be about a normal glass anywhere else snd at $11 per glass. The menu is very limited and does not have garlic bread or any bread on the menu or available. The parma was sent back as inedible and they wanted to charge us for it and then made quite a fuss. No apology at all. It seemed like it was precooked and then frozen and microwaved to serve. Absolutely awful. We also witnessed another table returning their meal. Dont waste your night out here !!!!!

Post lockdown lunch catch up and for the most part really enjoyed it. Lovely place with a great courtyard as well. Lovely selection of drinks and food on offer. The cauliflower and manchego cheese croquet were absolutely to die for. The hanger steak was very tasty, just a tad underdone - asked for the medium rare and both at the table got more on the rarer side. Compounding it was the lack of steak knives which made us really earn our meal. Other than that a lovely spot with delicious food.

Early in our new found freedom & The George are hitting their spots... great food, clean lines & friendly staff. Couldn't get over the relative peace & quiet given the masses just across the road at the South Melbourne Market & surrounding Cafes, Retailers etc. Will be heading back just as soon as I feel the need... the need for tradition with a hint of the "new". PS: Loved the oven-warmed mini chip buckets & being so close to The Chef's Hat is handy!
