   Flattered to deceive, lovely venue, service ok, but food wasn't great at all. All things seemed to be too salty, especially the Chips that were too salty to eat, duck breast needed to be on a bed of mash or something other than sprinkled with a dozen mushrooms. Told that the locals don't eat here and can see why.

   Beautiful setting & the lighting & dining area is warm comfortable & cosy. The staff were very attentive & engaging & we felt very welcomed. My only slight negative is that the menu is very limited, albeit the food was delicious.

   The George Hotel is a nice, historic and comfortable venue to eat in the middle of the wonderful, picturesque and charming town of Rye. Good food, interesting menu, good choice of cocktails and wine, beer and spirits. Nice ambience. Pleasant staff.

   Disappointing evening on the whole. The servers were noisy and too interested in their own fun and conversations. There were children running up and down the banquets and the food was tasty but hardly filling. Perhaps I'd expected too much from this establishment?

   We received a warm welcome from the waiter. However, the food was average at best. I ordered a rib eye steak medium and it was charred round the edges and not a good cut. Chops were good. The staff were pleasant when they were around but they were not around much. My husband had to find a member of staff to ask for our bill. Would not return or recommend.

    Saturday night is inevitably a busy time and this was no exception. We felt a little shoe horned in. The food was excellent though the prices were slightly higher than top restaurants in London. The staff are all very personable and efficient but we had trouble attracting anyone's attention in order to order the main course, to see the dessert menu, and then to pay.
