    Amazing decor and upscale atmosphere for a 101 year old hotel. Awesome Mother’s Day brunch with the Family - pre fix was excellent and kids food fantastic as well. Great memory to celebrate mom - well done!

    We chose the George for a Mother’s Day brunch while visiting our daughter in Seattle and had a lovely time. The hotel lobby and George are beautifully renovated with an attentive staff to make it a great experience. The menu and food were great but we particularly appreciated the warm, attentive staff. Special prop to the fabulous guys manning the scone and champagne carts: kudos!

    This was my 3rd time dining at the George and I’ve never had anything less than a phenomenal all-around experience, so I had high confidence that Mother’s Day brunch would be a great experience. Sadly, that was not the case because the food took 35 min to come out, which, as anyone with young kids knows, is an eternity. But even without kids, it’s way too long to wait for food. The table beside us sat after us and finished eating before our food was even delivered. We had to ask for the check twice. They apologized and we got one of the kid’s juices comped. I assume it was a one-off experience and I’d probably go back at some point but not for a special occasion. As for pros, the food and ambience were fantastic, as always.

    Chicken and waffles are yummy. Brunch could benefit from a couple more dishes with eggs but good overall.
