Great restaurant! We had an early bird dinner before a concert at the PPAC. They accommodated our being a little late due to rain and traffic, server was friendly, food was good and quick. We frequented this space when it was 121 Local. We will be back

The Thai calamari appetizer was excellent! The pizza needs work, the crust isn't right and it was more chewy than crispy. The goat cheese was cold and thrown on top so it didn't meld nicely. I would not recommend the pizza. Other dishes looked lovely and I will go back again and give it another try.

We had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday. Our server Steven was very attentive as well as serenaded my wife with the most beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday. The dinner music was lovely, the singer had a fantastic voice as well. “Sara Smile” by Hall & Oates is my wife’s favorite and he sang it to the T!! Don’t get me started on that Banana Cream Pie, by far the best I’ve ever had!!! We will definitely be back!

This place doesn’t pull any punches. We had salad, 1 of the daily special appetizers, and a shrimp & pasta dish not on the menu and that chef generously concocted for us with ingredients on hand. Each dish was well prepared. You just know when there’s a competent (and confident) cook in the kitchen. This guy is a keeper. They resist temptation to surprise customers by over pricing off menu items. Everything was fairly priced especially for such superbly prepared cuisine. Shout out to our server Dan. Knows his menu, accessible without being intrusive. I score George a perfect 10.

Dan, our server, was outstanding! Verry knowledgeable, attentive, and made our dinner even more special! It was my boss' birthday dinner, and since her boyfriend is a world-renowned Jazz Alto Saxophonist and Flautist; Greg Abate, I just had to bring them to The George to see how great of a venue the restaurant is. Many thanks for your hospitality...it was delicious and definitely a night to remember!

Great place . First time there. Service and food was great . The dessert was ok , but chef went a little heavy on the booze in the strawberry tres leche . It doesn’t need booze at all . The cream and berries with the sponge was fantastic. Have no problem recommending this spot and will definitely go back .

Service was slow, my $45 steak was so chewy and had no flavor. The veggies were so old and had no flavor. The potatoes were cold. The server was nice, but slow. The drinks were very good ( John Madison). I ordered my second drink and it took 20 minutes to come out. By that time I had got the check. Then the white haired older guy literally asked us if he could move me off the table to the bar, because he had a big table that needed the drink. I was shocked, but said OK. I was taking out my mother and my fiancée. We moved to the bar and there were no seats. We stood up near the exit door and I finished my $15 drink and it was very awkward. If the drinks and atmosphere were not good I would give it a 1.
