Georges signature fried wings served with a spicy dip on the side. The wings are crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. A perfect bar snack to satisfy the little hunger 》$19.50 / 6pcs

Ordinary fried squid ball that's chewy and bounces in your mouth with every bite. The accompanying homemade sambal makes a perfect dip 》$11.90 / 8 Pcs

My favourite potato snack to go with drinks. Served hot and crispy 》$7.90

This is a nice chill-out spot with both indoor and alfresco seating. The Georges platter comes with grilled bratwurst, 6 pcs chicken strips, bbq pork ribs & chicken quesadillas served with a side of mesclun salad that is perfect for sharing. Definitely worth visiting for some food and drinks with a nice and relaxed atmosphere/ambience 》$64.20

Was so excited to order this and try it when it finally came with the wonderful plating. Unfortunately, the chicken wasn’t fully cooked on the first serve, with the insides slightly pink and cold despite the exterior seemingly warm. While unsure of the reason why this happened, after flagging out and getting a new side of chicken, I guess my appetite was inevitably ruined even with the rectification. That being said, the rice was light and delicate and it was really a Lemak dish defined by coconut. The sambal on the side was rich and sweet as well.

My go to spot when I’m craving Mee Siam, though my fond memories of it from a few years ago seem more delicious than it was when I had it recently again. This bus bowl with a generous amount of tau pok and tangy, spicy, gravy was still delightful, but it didn’t have the kick it had like a few years back. The prawns could have fared better fresh, and the flavour isn’t as rich anymore.

This 200g AUS Wagyu ribeye was simply magnificent. The marbling of the fat felt greater than the indicated score of 4-5, with every bite so melt-in-your mouth tender and juicy. The steak was glistening so much I thought I was in heaven. Impeccable flavour and a perfectly executed medium rare steak, I was honestly so surprised at the quality I was having at Black Pearl. Not pictured is also the white wine mussels that were so delightful! Garlicky broth that paired wonderfully with the table bread that was served. Can’t wait to be back again.

Came here for the mentaiko Mac & cheese and it delivered. The Jamaican Chicken, Steak Frites and salted caramel bana waffle were great too. Free bread with butter and olive oil. Go for night menu

Poached eggs, grilled halloumi, spinach, tomato salsa, hummus, hollandaise. Okok, Abit oily, they have other better dishes.

Pork Rack, grilled baby cos, kipfler potato, bone marrow sauce. Meat is super soft, goes well with their sauce as well. Not salty.

Came here with my friend for lunch and we got the Bacon & Hash ($24), Mushroom Scramble ($17) and Sticky Date Pudding ($12).

Got the Bacon & Hash- housemade rosti, poached eggs, thick-cut bacon, wilted spinach and mushroom cream.

I love how the rosti was super crispy.
Poached egg were very plain and the sauce didn't really help.
Thick-cut bacon was less saltier then the bacon you usually get from the supermarket. However I didn't really like it as it did had a weird chemical(?) taste and was quite tough to chew.
Wilted spinach at the bottom added a good nutritional value to the dish.
Mushroom cream was quite bland and thick.

Mushroom Scramble- housemade sourdough, scrambled eggs, cauliflower, feta, crispy kale

Sourdough was nicely toasted with crispy edges.
Scrambled eggs were silky.
Cauliflower could be tastier.
Feta was ok.
Crispy kale added more texture to the dish.
Mushroom were good and earthy.

Sticky Date Pudding- banana, salted caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream

Sticky date pudding was disappointing. Pudding was like a cake. Overcooked.
Banana were evenly sliced.
Salted caramel sauce was really good. But tasted more like toffee.
Ice-cream was nice.

Overall enjoyed the mushroom Scramble and the potato Rosti. Maybe the next time round I would just get a plain rosti.
