As we were staying at the Prince George Hotel, we decided to try their bar and restaurant on our first night. They were both amazing. The atmosphere was very relaxing, with dim lights and soft music well attuned to a sophisticated place. The cocktails we had were fantastic.

Despite other reviews being less than enthusiastic, we found this to be a wonderful evening. The welcome, service and food were almost faultless. For the record we are both very enthusiastic foodies and like to think we know what good looks like! From the pre-meal martinis through to post-supper brandies we loved every single bite. Pricey but highly recommended. more

I expected a lot more of this restaurant. The decor was nice, but the music was not conducive to a relaxing dining experience. They played acid jazz, which is more a-propos of a late-night martini bar. The food was good, but not stunning. I was pleased by what I got, but not wowed -- and at those prices, I should... more

Decor is too artsy for me. Food can be also a little out there. I find they put fruit with everything, and I'm not a fruit-fan. Not one of my favorites. more
