    Had a girls night at George's Bistro & Bar and it was phenomenal. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Highly recommend the queen pizza and their pastas. Will be back for sure. I think it’s my favorite spot in Houston now:)

    Ample parking, no reservation needed, quiet dining areas. Placed order for wine, house salad. Later ordered fish; when it came, there was a salad on the side. I wish I would have known it came with a salad already... or at least maybe subbed the side salad for anything else. But was not given that option or info. Crispy potatoes were delicious, needed a bit of salt. Was never revisited by our waitress after another person dropped off the entrees, like to ask how is the meal, etc. The trout was slightly overcooked, dry-ish, not flaky, so IMO overpriced. Dessert was good.

    My husband and I have had only dinner here, but decided to try brunch. Our server Yousef (sp?) was fantastic and kind. We had the mimosa flight, suppli, chicken burrito and omelet. Everything was delicious! Great experience!

    The food and drinks were excellent. Service was very good. We have the trout and a salad with atufa, beets snd pear that was wonderful. The atmosphere inside could have been warmer but it was functional. Outside seemed cozier. We would highly recommend this place!

    Having driven by this unpretentious little spot many times, we decided to give it a try. Oh my gosh, were we ever surprised! The menu contains something for everyone. We didn't have it but saw someone enjoying the jumbo lump crab cake appetizer, it looked incredible. My wife had the grilled salmon salad that was very fresh and the salmon grilled to perfection and the portion very generous. I had the short rib which was the best I've had in a long long time. The mashed potatoes that accompanied it were indescribably delicious, not sure what was in them but sure wish I did. There is also pizza on the menu that looked amazing and judging by the carryouts, it must live up to the visual. The martinis were creative and finally, a restuarant that pours a fair serving. We had no room for dessert, perhaps next time, which won't be long. I hesitate to brag too much on George's as I like being able to get in to a good restaurant without booking two weeks in advance, but these guys deserve the notoriety, I wish them the best, don't change a thing!!!

    George's Bistro is a hidden gem in Houston. The restaurant and patio have a very nice ambiance that can easily accommodate groups or a simple date night. We went there recently to try it out and fell in love with several menu items. For appetizers, highly recommend the Suppli & Meatballs. People next to us were complimenting the Ceviche as well. You can't go wrong with either the Beet, Shredded Kale or House Salads either (I'm not a normal beet enjoyer but I changed my mind after eating theirs). We ordered the Queen pizza which I thought was delicious and the Mrs liked the flavor as well but she prefers a very thin crust. The Crispy Chicken was fantastic as well as the Pappardelle Bolognese but be warned the Bolognese has a bit of a kick to it (spicy). The table next to us ordered the Salmon which they raved about and the portion was larger than I've seen most restaurants provide. For dessert, the Blueberry Ice Cream paired with a Lemon Cake was unusually tasty, but it's hard for me to choose anything but the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding paired with Banana Walnut Ice Cream - off the charts! Side Note: Waiter let us try the Poached Pear which isn't a normal item I would get but that was really good as well - if that's your thing. All in all we had a wonderful experience with George's Bistro and are glad our friends recommended it. We will definitely be back, maybe even for their Sunday Brunch.

    Excellent food and wine. Everyone loved their entrees. Unfortunately the initial service was very slow. There was only one server on the floor. She was very nice and helpful, however she was both waitstaff and bartender for 10-12 active tables. I'll give George's Bistro another chance for the Excellent food and drinks.

    The beet salad was very pleasant. The crispy chicken was excellent - tasty, moist, and tender with really crispy skin. The crema Catalan was awful - there appeared to be water? at the bottom of the ramekin. The service was very good until it got a bit busy. The surprise of the evening was that their sparkling water was Topo Chico.

    We sat on the lively outdoor patio. The first drink I ordered from the menu was the only vodka cocktail and after waiting for many minutes was told that it was “no longer available”. The second option, a Prosecco cocktail, took over 30 minutes to arrive. Not ok. The food was fine but nothing special. With so many other options around, we won’t be going back anytime soon.

    Date night with my wife. This is one of her favorite places to eat. The food was great, the wine and mixed drink service was fantastic. I had the best pasta, I've ever had (by the way it surprised my wife, because I don't eat pasta)! Great evening.

    Nothing terribly wrong with George’s, just bland. Unimaginative menu, plain food, no ambiance. Waiter was very awkward and kept calling us “buddy“ while either of us probably could have been his parent. Again, nothing terrible, just not worth repeating.

    Brunch at George was delightful. This was my first time to visit George, it will not be my last. The cafe is a perfect size, cozy but not too small. The food was delicious. Large portions. Service impeccable. The chef stopped by our table, always fun. I am looking forward to another dining experience at George. Thank you.

    Sunday brunch. Had the mussels and steak and eggs. Tiniest mussels I’ve ever had but decent flavors. The steak was well past the medium I ordered and no one is overeating with the serving size if the eggs. Service was acceptable. A bit slow and inattentive. Overall not bad but not blown away and nit sure if I’ll give it a second shot.

    We were celebrating my birthday and the waiter told us I would get a complimentary dessert but he never brought it out. He also said he would give us bread but he never brought it to us. We had to ask twice for straws. My sister was missing her dessert while the 3 of us were already halfway done with our desserts. Music was incredibly loud inside the restaurant as well making it hard to have conversations. Most likely won’t be back :/

    Food was outstanding and table service was good. However, we made reservations for 2 and expected a table for two but were instead put at a high top table for 6. That was ok until they sat another 2 people at the table…without asking if that was ok. I don’t know why they accepted our reservation if they did not have a table. Also, while the setting and ambiance were also nice, the windows have no shade and the sun was in our eyes on one side of the table and multiple others we saw battling it. They need shades they can move up and down for shading when necessary at sunset.

    Our second visit. Service was great and ambience fun and lively. Food was very good and served fresh hot from the kitchen. Buccatini pasta was flavorful but pasta too Al dente. Queen pizza was good. Shrimp with spicy tomato and olives was good but a little salty this time. Seafood pasta dish was very good. Dessert champagne with lemon sorbet was a little tart but interesting. Everything is pricy. Over $300 for 4 with 3 cocktails. Enjoyed it very much. Nice addition to our area.
