Our waitress was absolutely wonderful. She allowed my husband to taste two local wines before selecting. We had the seasonal squash soup- Amazing! He had the salmon and I had the butternut squash ravioli. Followed with the spiced apple cake. I would not recommend the ravioli - a bit too doughy and not enough sauce and there were too many ravioli. The ambiance was utter glam -will be back.

Penn Cove Mussels were large, plentiful, and perfectly prepared. My friend's Tempura & Cod were one of the best fish & chips he has had for a while. And the prices are not unreasonable for this quality of food. My only criticism is that The George is difficult to find, in that almost everything in the hotel flows thru the single car entrance up to a dimly lit lobby with no signage.

I went with my husband and two kids and It was our first time at The George. From the minute we got there, the host was very rude. She didn’t smile and had poor customer service. Our waitress took forever to take our order. The frites was stale and hard as if it had been sitting at the counter for a while. The apple salad was presented very messily with little to no dressing, the tartare didn’t taste fresh and it was lukewarm. The oysters were also sooo tiny. We ordered the scallops entree and it was horrible. It was served cold when it was supposed to be a hot entree. The waitress never came back to ask how we were and never re filled our glasses of water. I will never recommend their dinner to friends or family. It sucked

This was our third trip to The George and our first opportunity to take visiting family. The service, food, and ambiance were as incredible this time as they were on our first two visits. Our visitors were absolutely amazed and enjoyed every minute of the experience. It’s something you can’t find at so many places; it’s really the full package. Thank you to The George team!

The food was good and the furnishings are lovely. My party was really disappointed in the service, it was a long wait before waitstaff would come by. A glass of water was spilled all over the table and onto my dress, and we were having dinner to celebrate a birthday, and I was disappointed there was no compensation for that.

This is truly such a great place to eat for a special occasion. If you’re looking for something upscale, worth the price in flavor, service, and ambiance, this is a must!!!! As a person who is big on the architecture, The George was exceptional. Think a cross between Art Deco and French style interiors. It is the perfect combination of the two! I recommend making a reservation beforehand! We were able to make a special request through the reservation notes since it was our anniversary. Enjoy!

We were staying at the property so thought let’s have a dinner here. Atmosphere was great. Our table server was friendly. Although we mentioned we are here to celebrate, she didn’t bring a cake desert. I am really disappointed. We ordered Ravioli and seasonal vegetables. Both dishes were sour. I have never eaten ravioli that is so sour, literally tasted like someone squeezed bunch of lemon so is my husband’s curry. We were also thinking of getting something for kids but then after this taste we didn’t. I don’t think we will return here for the food. Decor is beautiful but our food was meh.

Go for the ambience. The restaurant is grand and gorgeous! Only smiles came from our main server. We had a reservation and upon entering, there was no hello, rather "Reservation?" The gentleman seemed irritated by our presence but walked us to our table. "You requested a table by the window, here you go." Our server approached us with a smile and was very friendly. The auxiliary servers still need some training. Our lattes came w/out a spoon or sugar/sweeteners and they didn't ask, just delivered. No one came to refill our water glasses. The main server realized we were empty when she came to clear our plates. Food flavor was very nice however our burrata salad was smaller than a side salad. The burrata was actually cut in half which just seemed to say, 'diner.' The matchstick asparagus in a citrus dressing was very tasty but definitely not a shareable dish. (Server should have pointed this out). Our 2nd dish was an entre of mussels and again, the flavor was very nice but the count was around 12. Again, sharing 2 dishes and the size was very disappointing. (We are small women and typically do not comment on portion but this was extreme.) Go for the ambience - the restaurant is gorgeous and the chairs are very comfortable. My daughter and I were really looking forward to a lovely lunch but walked away a bit disappointed.

Service was Horrible my lentils came and I burned my roof of my mouth they were so hot! The salmon I ordered was so over cooked. Server never came over to check if we need anything or how is our food. I had to wave to her to get her attention to tell her that my salmon was so overcooked I couldn’t eat it. She offered to get me another one but by that time I was over it, but she at least didn’t charge me for that salmon that I left Sad for such a gorgeous place to have such a bad experience
