📝: Southeast Asian inspired cuisine delivered to the comfort of your home. They’re doing a Heat & Eat pack where you can just conveniently heat them up and enjoy a fancy meal at home.
❤️: The pack came with instructions for hoe to prepare each dish, which included Cashew Chicken, Hainanese Chicken Bao, Stir-fried Greens, Dumplings, Opera Cake, and a One Night in Paris cocktail.
Dined for dinner. We sat in one of the enclosed booths. We're shared the lobster betel leaf, pork belly bao, shrimp/ginger dumplings, pork/chilli spring rolls, beef cheek massaman curry & coconut rice. For dessert I had the chocolate & gold sphere & hubby had dark chocolate mousse. I also enjoyed a few lychee martini cocktails. We enjoyed all the food, some tasty & punchy flavours in the dishes. Service was good but slow at times. Overall a good night out but an expensive one as our bill was $204!
We were invited to The George last night to try their feed me menu. I have always absolutely adored the cocktails here, they took me right back to my glorious youth and they are as delicious as ever. The Panda Colada and the Thirsty Russian were both extremely tasty. The staff are extremely friendly and the music is absolutely unparalleled here, so many memories in this place and it’s good to see some things never change. They definitely set the scene for a fun time.
Food wise the feed me menu is $50pp and involves 8 dishes. This is a good option for the indecisive and adventurous though I personally would go a la carte so I could select according to my preference. My favourite dish we tried was the shaking beef which had a lovely flavour. I also applaud the Asian style risotto for its creativity. The hot tip- I thoroughly recommend the One night in Paris cocktail, your night will not be complete without it!
Original review
I didn't think the Longroom was doing too badly interior wise so I was surprised when it was closed for a $4m revamp and reopened as The George. Now that you see the difference it's easy to realise how tired it was before. I certainly mourn the loss of the sushi bar though. I am however pleased to see my favourite cocktail One night in Paris still featuring on the menu. What I was not pleased to see was they are no longer running the Friday night happy hour where they used to slash this delight (and a whole host of others) to $10. I guess they have to pay for the renovation somehow but I for one am very unhappy with this development!
Enter a new dawn. It was always somewhat sophisticated but this is the next level chic. Gone are the days of the all you can eat tapas Wednesdays (it was like $30 and a wow of a time). It's now all very pared back and a lot brighter than before. Supreme elegance is the result but I liked it better when it was less premium and more value. Catering to a new more refined audience I guess. It's the end of an era
