We just ate here recently to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and had a wonderful time! The food was absolutely delicious, we both enjoyed a dish with the braised short rib. While the food was fabulous, the real standout of the night was the excellent service that we received. We had a very attentive and friendly waitress named Alyssa. After I had mentioned to her that we were attending the stand-up comedy show downstairs in the bar area after dinner, she offered to box up our leftover dinners and save them in the kitchen fridge for us! We really appreciated the kind gesture. Thank you all very much for a lovely evening out! We will be back!

Six of us were in town for two days and we all agreed we would have eaten every meal here had we the opportunity. The atmosphere, exceptional service, and amazing food made for a wonderfully memorable evening. The icing was listening to the beautiful voice we could hear sing while she played the piano in the bar. Exquisite.

Andrea Sawyer

Always great times at the George. Rob Marin was singing and the food was wonderful. We especially appreciate our server tonight Dan Ortiz. Fantastic evening!

Well Where do I begin. We arrived at 8:20 for our 8:30 reservation, after asking how long the wait would be (we made out reservations over 2 months ago) we were remind promptly that we are “10 minutes early” (with a snarky attitude) it will be a 30 min wait from your reservation time. Ok I get it it’s Valentine’s Day. We proceeded to wait about 25 minutes being seated at 8:45 to be sat in a metal folding chair for a “High end” restaurant. The waitress (very frazzled looking like she has been worked to the bone for a non stop double) she asked us tap or sparkling. We chose sparking. She brought the drinks over around 9pm. After reading a normal menu that was on a table in the foyer area where we were waiting. Being seated we noticed there was a special Valentine’s Day Menu, which there was absolutely no mention online. I am a foodie. I went on the web sight multiple times looking to make sure. My wife is allergic to shell fish. Almost everything in the menu contained shell fish. At least you were accommodating to her allergy and sub sides for her. Now 9:15 finally taking our food order keeping with we have nothing with filet mignon. Ok switch what I wanted. Looks like I’m getting the prime rib not surf and turf like I wanted. We orders buratta 2 prime rib dinners and 2 glasses of Chianti. The main course was finally delivered by the manager apologizing said we could have a free dessert. Ok now it’s 10:15. The food was great.. BUT this experience was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. I spent 230.00 to sit on a metal chair forgotten about and treated like garbage, all for a FREE dessert. Bad form guys. You failed ….. very very disappointed.
