Disappointed with what looks like overpriced family restaurant in a dark plaza place. It is also very dark inside (people used phones flashlight to look at the menu). We had a server who can’t pronounce the names of the dishes and ingredients and he had to go in pair with another - there should be a better way to train staff! Nothing caught my eye in a 5 times folded printed menu. The dishes were cooked fine and looked good but the taste was very plain and unsophisticated. The tables are small and I was sitting halfway in a room entrance. Probably sitting at the bar sipping cocktails would be a better experience there but not a fine dining.

We enjoyed dinner at Chez George's while in town for 4 days. This was our favorite restaurant during our stay. The food and cocktails were amazing, even the table bread was perfect. Our waitress, Monica was attentive and personable. Anyone visiting Hilton Head needs to make it a point to have dinner here.

This is fast becoming our very favorite special occasion restaurant. We were there with another couple celebrating my husband’s birthday. We each had an appetizer, entrée and Crêpes Suzette for dessert. All the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Great wait staff and nice ambience. This was our third time coming here and we’ll definitely be back.

The escargots were not classic bourgignon. The salad was mediocre. Too big and not interesting. The salmon was very good en papilotte. The beef bourgignon was ok not great.

Chez George is my favorite restaurant on the Island. There are several traditional French dishes on the menu, all cooked to perfection. Just to show how good this restaurant is, we sat next to a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary. They live in Lexington, Kentucky, and this is the restaurant they had chosen to celebrate an important occasion.

My husband and I dined here to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. I had asked for a quiet, more secluded table on the reservation notes. The hostess took us to a small table right beside two loud 20-something year olds and told us they would be leaving soon (they appeared to have had their entrees for a while). They continued to talk and order more drinks, and one of them kept getting louder (we think on purpose at this point). I asked my husband if he wanted to move to another table, and he said no. These girls really put a damper on our entire evening with their loud, belligerent voices carrying on. They were there pretty much through our entire meal and made a very rude comment to us when they got up to leave. The tables were also practically on top of each other against the bench wall. I never should have agreed to sit there when the hostess was seating us. Aside from the awful experience being seated next to these two girls, the food was relatively good. My husband and I both ordered the steak frittes—both medium rare. Our steaks both came out almost well done so we did send them back. I’d also ordered my sauce on the side, and it came out on top of the steak. The second time, the sauce was on the side, and the steak was more rare but still probably not quite as rare as it should have been. The server did get the kitchen to correct our food, and the hostess gave us a gift card upon leaving (I’m assuming for all the food and noise issues we had throughout dinner). I’m not sure how much was on it, though. We do plan to revisit Chez Georges again and hope to have a better experience the next time.

We have been to Chez Georges several times as we live on the island. The service is always very good and professional but the quality of the food has been declining. Both my husband and I had the bouillabaisse and it was very disappointing! Five clams, three mussels, three pieces of potatoes and hardly any fish. And the fish was supposedly swordfish….. I don’t think swordfish goes in a bouillabaisse. The beef tartare had more slices of bread than needed for a very small amount of meat. The oysters were the only highlight. The deserts were fair. I am not sure if we will give Chez George another chance as there are many good restaurants here on the island.
