    The food here is really good, the ambience is pleasant and the space was warm and welcoming on a chilly Ballarat day. Thank you for the efficient service. We'll be back

    We were a group of thirteen in The Lane. Pre booked. The staff dealing with me in organising the lunch were excellent. Quick responses and very helpful. On the day itself, staff also attentive and quick. The food was very good. Coffee even better, according to those who had it. The noise level was raised because of us. But maybe turning off the TV would have made it less noisy for other guests. I did not ask for this though.

    Great service but it was slow, as I think they were understaffed for Mother’s Day. Meals were ok

    Our experience is always fabulous at The George. The staff are always very friendly and courteous. Always a great meal - delicious and value for money. It’s one of our favourites for a great dining experience.

    We didn't eat at the hotel. Stayed as it was close to activities we undertook. We travelled with my 90 year old father, and access and ease inside the hotel was great.

    Probably the best value for money breakfast in Ballarat ( a group of us eat out at a different Ballarat venue each month ). Would be the BEST breakfast if they improved their coffee blend.

    They forgot to save the entree, and my main course then came when I still ate the entree - a no go for me. But apart from that a good choice!
