George & John review says the former fine-dining star now feels like a mediocre neighborhood bistro

The drinks were the bright spot. A brandy-based cocktail was deemed good, and the restaurant’s four-glass wine flight was praised as especially worthwhile, including a Loire white, a Spanish white from Vina Sorsal, a Chianti Superiore, and a Taylor’s 10-year tawny, all for 80 shekels. Dessert, a pumpkin semolina cake with orange diplomat cream, yogurt ice cream and pumpkin-seed praline, was called very good to excellent, the best dish by far. The final bill came to 757 shekels, including the 590-shekel meal deal and 167 shekels for drinks, but the overall verdict was disappointment, with Fishniak said to be struggling to fill his predecessors’ shoes.
