    Bar George is a staple for a nice (and quick) business lunch - such a beautiful building and always good food and service. Only negative surprise was that the bread basket (which included 3 pieces of bread) cost $8 - since when is bread extra?! Or the fact that bread cost extra should be mentioned by the server when they asked if we wanted bread.

    I recently dined at Damas and it was truly one of the best meals I've ever had. Every dish was perfectly executed, with flavors that were rich, balanced, and memorable. The dolmas were some of the best we had and the lamb was fantastic. What made the experience even more special was the outstanding service. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had a personalized dining experience. They took the time to understand our preferences and helped us avoid over-ordering, which made the meal feel curated just for us. Definitely a must visit!
