    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.

    The limited seating, speakeasy style of The Founders Club is exactly what you are looking for to cut out the hectic city and have an excellent cocktail. It's a great date spot where the craft of mixology can be discussed, or a quiet space for discussion of the latest business or career move.
