By George!

Dined at George on Queen on Friday night. Albeit for the Iberian lacking wine menu and mini "tapas-style'' portions, chef Lorenzo Loseto's Ital-Canadian fusion creations are deee-lish-us!
Meritxell, Dulce, Celia and I munched our way through a delightful amuse-bouche of beet infused tuna tartar on a crunchy scallion pancake. The champagne from Tazmania was a tad yellow in colour (evidence of passe) and wines are sold by 3oz and 6oz glasses (absurd) as well as bottle size. I make it a rule never to eat gnocchi outside of my mother's house (it's true, ask anybody, they are the bang-on best) however, I caved at Loseto's ricotta blend with smoked porcini mushrooms. Meritxell and I could have eaten the whole pot. Seabass and je ne sais quoi was equally as pleasing as were the bison steaks, beef tenderloin, and prawns with cherry tomatoes. I was pleasantly surprised part way through the evening when the sommelier approached us to introduce herself to me. It appears that my wine-importing husband has far-reaching tentacles.
