A long awaited dinner at George's on Waymouth began well and the night only got better.

With polished wooden floorboards, wooden rafters and slick black chairs against white tables, it was a warm but modern space that didn't cramp diners and allowed for audible conversation with those at your table.


To start we were served house made bread. Baked fresh that afternoon it almost melted in our mouths.

As a vegetarian, I requested a meatless version of the antipasto plate for entree and the staff were more than happy to oblige. The highlight of the plate was the hummus (again house made of course) which was creamy and smooth with a nutty flavour, not overpowered by garlic as so many versions are. Every element on the plate impressed but I cannot fail to mention an espresso cup of artichoke soup that was an exciting component both aesthetically and on the palate. My dining partner enjoyed oysters for his entree. Freshly shucked at 5pm that evening, they left him wanting more than just the half dozen ordered. The red wine and shallot vinaigrette was subtle enough to allow the fresh sea flavour to shine whilst still lifting the dish.

My main was a house made tagliatelle, a special with pancetta and radicchio, altered to exclude meat and include additional vegetables, which came as mushrooms, chestnuts, carrots and peas. The pasta was perfectly cooked and it was a strange but more-ish combination of ingredients. My dining partner ordered the pork belly. As he took the first bite, you could hear the crunch from across the table and the look of delight on his face summed up the experience.

A side salad of five different tomatoes, plus walnuts, fresh basil and pomegranate dressing was so refreshing - a great recommendation from our waiter.

Upon thanks for catering to my vegetarian requests (even though there was already a vegetarian option for each course on the menu), our waiter so kindly advised that with just three days notice, on our next visit I could be supplied with a whole vegetarian menu. I was blown away at how accommodating the staff were.

It must be mentioned that all the floor staff (including the restaurant's namesake) made an effort to connect with us and every table they served, in a completely genuine, unobtrusive and friendly manner.

With no room for dessert we opted for tea and coffee, which were of the highest quality, and each accompanied by a smooth, delectable chocolate, these little details separating the best restaurants from the average.

To top off an already amazing dining experience, we were given a complimentary glass of quince liqueur imported from France - a rich, velvety, exquisite drop.

Despite the many great dining venues to try in Adelaide, I cannot wait to return to George's on Waymouth, where the food and the service are equally as impressive and hard to fault.
