Review: George's Taverna
For my entree, I ordered the Grilled Salmon Platter. A fist-sized piece of juicy salmon, which was in season when we were in Canada, arrived perfectly grilled on a bed of flavorful rice. It was served with a rustic Greek salad and the most delicious potatoes I've ever eaten. The potatoes had been peeled, halved, boiled, drained, and tossed in a profoundly simple sauce made from melted butter, salt, and lemon juice. They were soft, fluffy and flakey. I could have eaten an entire plate of them. I ended up eating all of mine and half of Cat's. The salad was also delicious, composed of tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, cucumber, herbs, and feta cheese. Drizzled with a light vinaigrette, it tasted fresh and invigorated my appetite. The rice was perfectly cooked and al dente. Each large kernel was separate from the others. It paired very well with the flaky and juicy salmon. |
