Best Family Style Restaurants in Columbia City

I chose this restaurant simply because the description sounded interesting to me. We wanted to eat out for Thanksgiving and the more traditional places were either closed or closed to further reservations. There were some TG-ish options available, but we decided to go Asian for the meal. We had the Seven Elements soup (a Thai take on chicken noodle soup with a curry flavor and crunchy noodles on top) as the starter, the Green Curry Chicken, and the Assam Prawns. Everything was delicious! I was impressed that the last section of the shell had been removed from the prawn while leaving the tail in place. The restaurant sits on the corner of 3rd and Union, but the entrance is farther down 3rd Ave than I expected. Signage on the sidewalk or hanging above the sidewalk would be helpful. We found a parking lot about a half-block away; evening parking rate was $10.

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.

Such a lovely night and dining experience all the way around. Food and drinks were absolutely exceptional. Service - wonderful: attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance…lovely, but just a bit chilly by the front door. Looking forward to returning soon.

What a great dining experience, surpassed only by the quality of the food.

The pizza was outstanding! All the salads we tried were also very good as well. What stood out as exceptional was the service. Our servers were kind and just the right style of attentive to our big group. They made the night a huge success.
