    The George is truly one of the great restaurants in Seattle. I've dined there at various times over the past 45 years, and it never disappoints. Atmosphere-wise, it is an outstanding and truly unique blend of timeless and beautiful historic old world charm with a modern flair, and the food never disappoints. Service was first-rate; friendly, informative, attentive, and our waiter effortlessly made the evening feel very special for our party of six celebrating a milestone event. Highly recommend. And afterwards, relax in the fabulous lobby of the hotel and enjoy an after dinner cocktail and conversation with your friends in a wonderfully comfortable atmosphere. A great evening out.
