I enjoyed my visit to the George Street Bar & Grill, the revamped restaurant in the Roxburghe Hotel, which opened in August 2013.
I had good French onion soup, followed by tasty beef cheeks. It has a good opportunity to establish itself as a reliable favourite, but there are a few places nearby that are ploughing a similar furrow with considerable expertise, so they need to get very good, very quickly to compete.
So overall, we said: "the George Street Bar & Grill shows signs of promise. They have some good value lunch a pre-theatre options, which will lure people in to give it a try. Its problem is that it's bounded by Hadrian's and Galvin's, and has the Bonham, nearby. These are all hotel restaurants that are serving grub to a considerably more impressive standard. If you find yourself at the Grill, you'll be pleased enough, but not completely bowled-over, so I think they have a little work to do to sharpen things up." read more
