The Thanksgiving dinner at The George was a nice experience. Attentive service, although the bar seemed to be slow at getting a cocktail to our table. Some inconsistency with portion sizes - a huge bowl of (delicious) brussels sprouts but just a tiny serving of gravy? Would have liked some stuffing. However everything was tasty.

The quality of the food is a notch up your typical coffee shop fare. The portions were huge and the service was most attentive. Our waiter was wonderful (he even included cutlery in my "doggie bag" and the other staff were lovely as well.
