The George On Collins - Kurunjang

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. <br/ <br/ 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! <br/ <br/ Original review<br/ 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! <br/ <br/ 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

The George on Collins is an impressive venue set back from the main street and gives nothing but classy vibes. It's always a popular spot for after work drinks, but I only recently discovered how good their dinner menu is.<br/ <br/ My friend and I both had a vegetarian curry which was delicious (not sure if it's still on the menu). It had huge chunks of veges and was super tasty. <br/ <br/ The small plates look great also, think next time we'll share a few plates so we can try more!

The space has been entirely refurbished to a modern and contemporary bar and dining institution. Designed by Hecker Guthrie, the restaurant is a visual treat with a large, central bar area encircled by dining tables. There are also many booths lined along the perimeter with curtains if you want a more private dining space. Masterchef contestant Khanh Ong is also a part of the business now and along with Head Chef Quim Hernandez, the menu reflects both their styles of cooking and expertise.
