The George Bar Bistro - Brisbane

Well executed consistent food. Nothing overly adventurous but that's not their ethos. Good starters, pastas and main dishes. Proteins (fish and meat) are cooked to perfection. Perfect business lunch place, breakfasts are reasonable in price for CBD. Coffee is more expensive than just one level above (same owners). Would be surprised if you had a terrible meal here. However, do note that you need to book.

Noice. Service: fairly attentive although not overly in your face. I didn't get the snobbery that often comes with restaurants in this price range. We were seated by the windows and getting their attention was a little difficult on the odd occasion.<br/ <br/ Choices: great sized menu one page! for someone like me that often gets decision making trauma at restaurants, this was perfect). The wine list is excellent for a venue of this type so spoilt was I for choice that I couldn't make up my mind and ended up having a couple of beers happy hour is Mon Wed 4:00 6:30pm btw... 25% off all alcoholic beverages). <br/ <br/ Food: no issues. We had the braised lamb shoulder $48) to share, tomato salad medley, sauteed green beans with eshallots and chopped hazelnuts) and a platter of cheese, pickles, prosciutto salad watercress, fennel and radish) $24). I was quite surprised by the beans they were quite a taste sensation! I'll be back for those!! <br/ <br/ We also had the chocolate tart, the apple tartatin and the creme brulee. I'd come back for the chocolate tart.<br/ <br/ Value for money: Fairly good, we had copious) drinks and approximately 2.3 courses for a pp cost of about $75. This was helped along by happy hour and the complimentary inclusion of 2 sides with the lamb M F, 6 8pm promo).<br/ <br/ Verdict: Would go again.

Service very good. Staff very polite. The food very good and good wine list.

The staff at this restaurant is fantastic. The menu is great, especially the breakfast menu...but they recently removed mushrooms from it! How could they do such a thing? Mushrooms are not that bad. Please, bring back the mushrooms! I miss them so much. It's been a year without them, and I've had enough. Bring back the mushrooms!

It have always had tasty coffee when I have been here previously.  When I dined recently I chose the crab linguine.  Fairly good flavours but the portion size felt a bit small but probably on par, value-wise, for other places in this location.  Fantastic high ceiling at the venue and very elegant dining setting.
