Saint George Dining

My husband and I came to check this place out for dinner with the 50% fork special and we were pleasantly surprised. <br/ <br/ Service was friendly and the food we ordered was all good. We shared the pea, lemon and smoked ricotta croquette, chicken parfait, citrus cured salmon with skin cracker. They were the highlights of our dinner, the wagyu shin, broccoli and crinkle cut chips were next but the beef could have been more tender. We had a couple of glasses of wines and left before the restaurant got busy and noisy.

Booked through theFork website allowing us to receive half price on our bill for food.<br/ <br/ Really enjoyed the chicken liver pate, pretty big portion considering we ran out of bread. <br/ The pea croquettes were crunchy outside and fluffy inside. <br/ Wonder if the scallops would have tasted nicer if not fried? Not sure but overall it was all tasty.<br/ <br/ Did not like the squid ink gnocchi, it was really mushy and didn't have much flavour to it. The fried sword fish was decent though.<br/ <br/ The risotto was interesting, not like your traditional fish. Was loaded with veggies, dense and heavy. Not to say that's bad or anything, flavours were good, just too heavy for us to finish. <br/ <br/ Broccoli and fried chips are standards like sides normally are. <br/ <br/ Wagyu beef tasted like a stew, wish I had some rice to go with it.<br/ <br/ Service is great here! <br/ <br/ Only thing I wish they had, were coat and bag hangers. Was a little awkward sitting at the long wooden table resting bag and jacket on lap while eating. Otherwise I can't wait for my next visit!

I like anything that makes a city more beautiful. And for some reason, this tiny strip of Chippendale between Railway Square and the Central Park shopping complex is particularly ugly. Inexpensive restaurants and a few pubs in the next block (and the incongruous Posh Hotel, which looks anything but) and cheap Asian food and a McDonalds on the other side of the street.

Popped in for lunch on a weekend, didn’t realise only the brunch menu is available which was a shame because we were looking forward to some oysters and the truffle creme brûlée, however, we still had a great time. The double cheeseburger was really good, would order again. Hubs got the crumbed dory which he enjoyed. Great cocktails were had, and coffee

Mix feeling about this place, nothing was particularly bad, but just didn't seem to hit the high I was expecting. Was very excited beforehand to see all the positive reviews. Reasonable range on the menu, but pretty Mod-Aus based with some interesting combos. Dishes mostly designed for sharing. The croquettes were nice way to start the meal, a little pricey at $5 for a bite. Then the witlof, chicken liver parfait spanner crab pappardelle were really not what I was expecting, they tasted alright. The parfait was rather sweet, there was hardly any crab in the pappardelle (it should be renamed sweetcorn pappardelle with hint of crab). The desserts followed the trend too with the choc combo being the best of them. Service was average at time, tried to get attention of service to get additional cutleries to divide the shared food went astray, we ended up just raiding their cutlery draws ourselves.
