The George on Collins - Melbourne

Sat with mates on Friday night. was able to get a table on a lively Friday evening without prior booking. we ordered a lot of execution, but the gay was far from standing out. must visit again.

Caramel espresso martini... 110% must try. Food was good, cocktails were great. Service definitely could've been better.

Went early on a friday night.Booked prior but when we got there, nobody came to show us our table, so we seated ourselves at a reserved table assuming our booking. The gruff hostess came over and ordered us to move and ushered us to the reservations counter-they had no record of the booking! We were then directed to another table where poor service and average food followed. Good music but totally unimpressed with the rude and inhospitable attitude of the wait staff! Who says dining is all about the food?

We were looking for a place to go before a show at the Regent and this was one of the recommendations. We were so impressed, the staff were all happy and attentive and tapas were all amazing from the home made dips with ample bread, to the dumplings and mini wagyu burgers. The peanut butter icecream sandwich is a must! Sorry the picture doesn't do it justice. Our favorite of the night was the Caramel Expresso Martini, the best ever!!

Went to Garden State for a short while before adjourning here. Heard it was "the place" a while back. Each new joint opening upsets the incumbent almost every 8 to 12 months. Decor is fantastic; personalised service great - young, cheerful polite crew. Low-key music on weekdays. Tapas - chicken bites , beer really good. We could talk business with good food and ambience without having to shout. Highly recommended.
