    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.

    We had an outstanding experience from the food, to the ambiance and service. The crab cakes were very meaty with minimal breadcrumbs. Lobster Mac was indulgent and the spaghetti Amatriciana was packed with flavor and the pasta was perfectly al dente—I couldn’t believe it was gluten-free! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and the chef was generous with his time getting to know us. The decors is both sophisticated and casual at the same time, very comfortable.

    Fantastic dinner. Was our last night in town and we needed a spot for team dinner. Following a subpar dining / service experience the night before at a different Seattle restaurant, we were looking to end the trip on a high note. This place did not disappoint!! Truly great service, food, and drink! After a lingering dinner, headed to their speakeasy style bar next door for a nightcap. Highly recommend this spot!!
