George Martin The OriginalTerrific spotDon't bother going anywhere else! We had a terrific dinner with great service. Will definitely go again and recommend it to everyone.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyable experienceTook the family here for the first time.
Everyone enjoyed their meals.
Excellents aps.
Steak, salmon, short ribs all cooked to perfection.
The statt was attentive and friendly.
Will defenitely come again.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat timeWe had to push our reservation back..they accommodated on a Saturday night. When we were brought to our table, the high chair was there, as I asked for in open table..very nice
The artichoke ravioli special was delish, as were the beet and asparagus carpaccio and the seared tuna apps. All in our group were happy with their entrees. The ribeye s were grilled to perfection. Tree out of four of us had beef; all agreed that GM makes. Old, basic steak. Not the most amazi g rub or marinade, but quite tasty
Cocktails, especially the blood orange tequila something, were fun.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreeted promptly in the midstGreeted promptly in the midst of a rush. Felt like I entered a restaurant of long lost friends. Food was great and service extremely attentive. Would dine again. Recommend the wild striped bass special. Husband had a flat iron steak which was also super.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMA Fine MealTook my sons for dinner. We shared calamari and the beef tacos for appetizers. The calamari came with three different dipping sauces. In addition to the traditional marinara sauce, tartar and a nice pesto were added. The boys enjoyed the tacos while I snacked on the calamari. Both were yummy.
For entrees, the boys ordered the ribeye while I had the skirt steak. We traded tastes of each. All were tasty and well-prepared. If you like fries with your steak, give the sweet potato fries a try.
For desert one of us ordered the brownie with Hagen Daz ice cream which I would classify as average. Kudos to the staff for adding two cookies and some Blondies to our deserts, compliments of the Chef. A nice touch.
All in all, a fine meal.5/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThe TruthService was top notch! Food was generous portions. Prepare yourself for a hit in the wallet.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect birthday presentTook my mother there for her 73rd birthday with my kids (ages 12 & 9). Everybody happy!

I do wish the noise level was a bit more subdued so that I can better hear the conversations of my guests!5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThe only complaint was theThe only complaint was the noise level. Too noisy to carry on a conversation at a comfortable level for the table.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMReservation @ 8:00We had an 8:00 reservation.
I checked in and we got a drink from the bar. Bartender wasn't so friendly. Our table took only about 10 minutes.
Service was good. Food was very good. I recommend the four cheese ravioli with plum tomatoes and cauliflower. I absolutely loved it. Dessert was good, as well.
We were seated in the second dining room to the right. It was my first time there. I would have preferred to have been seated in the main room because I liked the ambience better.
I will return :)5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMHad put in a request whileHad put in a request while making a reservation for seating us in a quiet place. It was our weding anniversary and they provided a great place for just the 2 of us. Great place for a special occasion.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday DinnerMy husband and I had a great dinner at George Martin. I had the steak and cake,and my husband had the steak with shrimp and scallop. Everything was fine. We also had a bottle of Kendall.
The mini sampler desert was delicious.
Their was nothing great on the Specials for the night.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMLocal favoriteOur go to place for lunch and dinner. Food is always consistent and good.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMhave been to this place a few timesI go back to George Martin's cause the food is consistently tasty but there are some things I just cannot overlook. First - the hostesses look as if they are in pain. No smiles and no greetings but more of a stare. Then there is a darkness in the back of this place. You can barely see your food let alone your companion. Our waitress was lovely, however, waiting for dishes can be indeterminate! Again once you receive your food all is forgiven. The food is good and fresh and also plentiful. We went restaurant week and they still gave nice portions for each dish - including the dessert. Had I seen better perhaps I would have noticed more flaws. But overall I would go back. Just not often5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThey just keep getting better!Disclosure: this is our favorite neighborhood restaurant and we are regulars. The chef puts together creative dishes, combining flavors in surprising ways. Recommendations: short rib tacos, mustard and pretzel crusted salmon, butternut squash ravioli (not always on the menu), and both their chopped salads. "For purists," as they say on their menu, they offer excellent, unadorned steaks with vegetables of your choice. GM, please keep the classics while continuing to offer innovative dishes! If you come for Restaurant Week, GM's does not skimp, and their prix-fixe menus in winter are an excellent buy. Plus, great service and atmosphere.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat restaurant week menufood was great - good variety of choices and you could not beat the price. my friend and I talked over coffee for almost an hour and they didn't chase us out!5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect for celebrating a birthdayGreat experience at George Martins. Went with a party of 7 during restaurant week. The food was excellent, really had nothing to complain about. We will definitely be recommending this place to others and we all agreed we will be coming back!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service are alwaysThe food and service are always good. Can be very noisy if you are not able to sit in the side room.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMGood find!Tried G. Martin during Restaurant Week and it was a good discovery. Apparently it's been around for a long time but in no way does it feel old or tired. The menu was eclectic and the presentation was well done. The staff was courteous and friendly and best of all, the food was great. Would definitely recommend.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and serviceThe restaurant week menu was fabulous.

Worth the price.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMLeft us wanting moreThoroughly enjoyed ourselves. From service to food all was right on point. The tuna app was seared perfectly, and our chili pop shrimp was the perfect combination of sweet & spicy with a slightly crunchy texture. For entrees my girlfriend had the salmon with braised cabbage & asparagus which she loved, and I had the delicious braised short ribs, cooked to perfection, I didn't even need a knife to cut through it. We'll defintly go back for more, can't wait for the new spring menu.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThe only disappointment inThe only disappointment in the evening was waiting for more than a half hour past our reservation.
