Our Thanksgiving dinner exceeded all expectations! The three-course meal offered so many amazing options, it was hard to choose. I went with the kale salad, surf and turf featuring filet mignon and shrimp, and ended with a decadent chocolate torte paired with vanilla ice cream. Others in our group enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and it was just as incredible. The cocktails were equally impressive and complemented the meal perfectly. Having dined here many times before, I was pleasantly surprised to learn they offer a three-course dinner option year-round. With impeccable service, breathtaking views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, and consistently outstanding food, this restaurant is sure to become a regular favorite for dining out in Seattle.

We dined at the George on Thanksgiving day. Gary's service was unmatched. The milk bread and pumpkin soup were delicious. Adult beverages were tasty and plentiful. Even the brussels sprouts were good (and I don't like brussels sprouts). A bit pricey, but worth it for the occasion.
