    It was a wonderful family style dinner with extremely high quality food! Great portion sizes too. Expectations were exceeded. And the Christmas decor in the hotel was beautiful. We recommend adding on the truffle au jus, absolutely delicious.

    I had dinner here on Christmas Eve, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. We only have one option for the course menu at $85 per person, which felt overpriced for what we got. The food was very average—nothing special at all. We waited 30 minutes for the main course, and then another 15 minutes for dessert, which was also underwhelming. To top it off, there was a 20% service charge added, bringing our total to $300 for two people. For that price, we expected much better quality and service. Definitely not worth it—won’t be coming back.

    This was my second time at The George, and I loved it! The prix fix menu was wonderful for Christmas Eve, and the Sugar Plum drink is imminently drinkable. The staff at The George are all so kind and wonderful, I adore everyone we interactedn with.

    Two small criticisms - acoustics could be better to allow conversations and entrees should be served to very one at table at same time.

    Hi, The room is beautiful, but the service is fair and so was the food. For the exorbitant amount charged, I hoped for better. We had not been in 5 years to the holiday tea, and sadly the service and the food are not nearly as good as we remember. Also please keep in mind that they automatically add a 23% gratuity.
