   This was our first visit to The George (but not to downtown). We wanted to elevate our meal to celebrate our daughter's college Masters graduation. Our group of six did have a reservation in advance. Arrival was smooth, and we were seated promptly. It was a busy Saturday lunch setting. The service start was slightly delayed, but once greeted, we had our attendant's regular attention to ensure we were all set. We enjoyed sharable appetizers. The Brie dish was delicious, with amazing roasted garlic. The Crab Dip was warm and tasty. Calamari is always a challenge, yet the Calamari dish had excellent dipping sauces with some heat. Kudos to the kitchen, as the entrees (Black Bass, Salmon, Catfish sandwich, and one outlier with salad and chicken wings) were primarily empty plates at the conclusion and two take-home boxes. Our group agreed there would be return visits.

   The food is very expensive for what you get. To order a salad you’ll pay $10 which is reasonable. To add a chicken breast, you’ll pay an additional $11. For a piece of chicken. To add a piece of salmon you’ll pay $17. While it’s a nice view, the food is not worth the asking prices. Even the Brie appetizer has hardly any flavor. Great place for a cocktail and a view of the water but that’s about it.

   Everything about this dinner was AMAZING! We started with the Sweet Garlic Shrimp, which were delicious. For the main courses we chose the Seared Diver Sea Scallops and Black Bass. They were both AMAZING! The scallops were the best I’ve ever had. What really set this place apart from others on the riverwalk was the service. We dined and had drinks at the bar. Deon, our bartender was FABULOUS!! He was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. He checked on us throughout our meal to make sure everything was perfect! This was our first visit to The George, but it definitely won’t be the last!

   Service as excellent and the food was superb. The Black Bass was one of the best dishes we have ever had, anywhere.

   Nice quiet meal on a chilly evening. Glad to see that people are supporting the restaurant.

   Great Food with lovely appearance. Good service. We were asked if we are coming for a special occasion when making the reservation. It was my wife’s birthday and the only thing said to her was Happy Birthday from the hostess. We don’t expect anything for free but if you ask the question it makes for a disappointment when that is all that happens. We would definitely eat here again but probably not for a special occasion.

   Great spot for a first date! The back deck is heated and has a nice vibe with the Christmas lights.
