A few of our menu favorites at George Bistro + Bar include:
Short Rib Omelet
For brunch, consider the short rib omelet, a combination of braised short ribs with sweet caramelized onions, mushrooms, and gruyere cheese, all served on herb-roasted potatoes.
Luba’s Favorite
This cocktail is ideal for any type of celebration. It offers incredible champagne that has slices of strawberries in it. It’s served over ice and perfect for that warm Sunday brunch. It pairs well with most of the brunch items on the menu.
Tuna Carpaccio
This makes for the perfect starter for anyone that loves fresh tuna. It’s thinly sliced yellowfin tuna that’s topped with a strong sesame balsamic soy mayo with a bit of a bite from the jalapenos. It’s the type of starter that wakes up the palette for everything that is to come.
GL Burger on Brioche
As elegant as this location is, George Bistro + Bar offers a few unique sandwiches throughout the menu. The GL Burger on Brioche has a 100 percent Angus beef patty that’s served with three sauces – basil mayo, curry ketchup, and roasted red bell pepper aioli. The Tillamook sharp cheddar on it finishes it off perfectly.
Crab & Shrimp Louie Salad
This salad is a seafood lover’s dream. It features fresh crab and shrimp on top of a bed of lettuces along with asparagus, avocado, and peppers. It has the creamy rose dressing the location is so well known for. And, for a heartier meal, you can add grilled chicken or salmon to it.
Insider Tips:
– When buying the ribeye steak or other cuts, the waiter can finish off your dish at the table using a small hand-held cooking torch to help add an extra layer of flavor.
– Though there is no kids’ menu here, and the location is upscale, the staff welcomes children and will work with you to create a meal for their needs.
