Discover The George: A modern dining destination led by Director of Culinary Eraj Jayawickreme.

Hand-painted tiles, Art Deco chandeliers, and marble floors enhance the ambiance, while floor-to-ceiling iron and glass doors and original Palladian windows complete the vision. With a private dining room and semi-private enclaves, The George is perfect for groups and special occasions.

    We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed dinner after a show after the Symphony. The receptionist could not find my reservation even with my confirmation email. However they still accommodated and were able to seat us quickly. The food was delicious and our server Gary was fantastic.

    The George boasts an undeniably stunning ambience—elegant, spacious, and with a vibe that feels both luxurious and inviting. The service was attentive, and the setting alone makes for a great dining experience. However, the food itself? Just fair, and certainly not worth the $135 per plate price tag. (Valentine's dinner) I get that part of what you're paying for is the atmosphere, but at this price point, the food should be at least memorable. Instead, it felt like an afterthought. The flavors were decent, but nothing stood out as exceptional or worth returning for at that cost. If you're looking for a place to impress with its aesthetics and experience, The George delivers. But if food is your priority, there are much better options in Seattle at this price—or even much lower. Would I go back? Maybe for a drink at the bar to soak in the atmosphere. But for a full dinner? The food needs to step up before I'd justify that expense again.

    It's really pretty but food is very average! Last time I had a pretty raw fish steak that my husband still laughs at me now, this time my mashed potatoes and chicken were very unsalted. We keep coming back here only because of the ambience and because I keep convincing my husband it's OKish, but it's not... Beef tartare was really good though!

    First time here. We were seated immediately in a beautiful dining room. We ordered wine. Our server poured a little wine for us to taste, and it turned out the red wine had gone bad. She immediately opened another bottle which was very good. We started with the crab and artichoke dip which was very good. My companion ordered the beef bourgeon and I ordered the steak with a lobster tail on the side. Both were excellent. The bourgeon was full of meat and vegetables and the steak and lobster were prepared perfectly. Fudge cake for dessert with coffee. The best part of our experience was our server, Breana. She was professional and timely and very engaging.
