Five of us went to St George for dinner to catch up and to give Mr. G a belated birthday toast. We ordered a la carte and the 5-course tasting menu, and I was happily swept off my feet by the food. All courses were beautifuly presented (my BB camera didn't do them justice), and made with top-notch ingredients. Among the stand-outs were:Crispy 63° Eggs - This comes with a nicely poached egg that sat on top of a mash of sweet potato, wild mushroom and seafood sauce;Scallops & Truffles - Slightly
We ordered a la carte and the 5-course tasting menu, and I was happily swept off my feet by the food. All courses were beautifuly presented (my BB camera didn't do them justice), and made with top-notch ingredients. Among the stand-outs were:
Crispy 63° Eggs - This comes with a nicely poached egg that sat on top of a mash of sweet potato, wild mushroom and seafood sauce;
Scallops & Truffles - Slightly-seared, sweet-tasting scallops that were surrounded by little garnishes, and topped with truffle shavings;
Atlantic Sole Fillet - The fish came nicely browned with seawood and some delicious gravy;
Fatty Tuna - The tuna was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and served with "wasabi ice."
Oh, and St. George also serves a very impressive bread basket, which contained 5 kinds of bread that all tasted quite good.
As to desserts, St. George's sent out multiple desserts (pre-dessert, petite fours) in waves. I'd recommend the Gravata (not sure if I remember the name correctly) and the Chocolate Ravioli, the latter of which was quite a novel creation and a sure bet for chocolate-lovers.
On service - all the service staff were friendly, courteous, and eager to serve, and were able to provide helpful suggestions when taking our orders. However, sometimes the food was placed in front of us without any introduction or explanation. Oh, but I kinda of liked the fact that I was escorted to the ladies' room twice during the evening, which was a very nice touch.
Really, the only fault I can find with St George is its exorbitantly high HK 500/bottle corkage fee ! So don't BOYB.
I'll come back again anytime I want a fabulous meal in a stunning restaurant.
