    The George is truly one of the great restaurants in Seattle. I've dined there at various times over the past 45 years, and it never disappoints. Atmosphere-wise, it is an outstanding and truly unique blend of timeless and beautiful historic old world charm with a modern flair, and the food never disappoints. Service was first-rate; friendly, informative, attentive, and our waiter effortlessly made the evening feel very special for our party of six celebrating a milestone event. Highly recommend. And afterwards, relax in the fabulous lobby of the hotel and enjoy an after dinner cocktail and conversation with your friends in a wonderfully comfortable atmosphere. A great evening out.

    Went for brunch with a couple girlfriends and it was amazing! I unfortunately don’t recall our servers name, very nice man in his 20s. We each had a 2 course meal that included a drink and an amazing scone. The food was so good! We were all very happy with our meals and can’t wait to come back!

    Our waitress (was wonderful. Super accommodating and lovely conversation. She knew the menu front and back to make excellent reservations. The space too is beautifully decorated. The bartender made Stella cocktails. Would be nice to have a dairy free dessert on the menu.
