    Where do I start. I ordered soup and when it came out they didn’t give me a spoon. It took 10 minutes to get a spoon after I asked twice. I ordered two steaks medium and they came out medium rare. When I told them about the mix up, the response was I agree with you, but my chef is going to hate it. The chef clearly thought I was an idiot because my steaks came out, cooked the same only on a hot plate with chives. This is an industry trick for upset chefs when they think people don’t know food. I was better at a capital grill or any other steak house.

    We only had dessert and drinks on this visit, but it was excellent, and we had a wonderful time meeting with friends. This is an elegant location for a dinner or a special event.

    The vibe of the place, being inside the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, is unique and super nice, although the bar right outside of the restaurant has an even better vibe. Food was good, but nothing amazing, definitely not great value for the prices. We ordered the crab dip, the butternut squash ravioli and the steak and frites.

    Food was very unique but very good. Drinks were even better. Service was decent, wish they were a little more attentive to the table, but when they were there they were super nice and got the job done. The burger was excellent and the Tiramisu for two (honestly it feeds 4) was extremely delicious.

    Was there for lunch on a weekday a few weeks ago. Reasonable prices, good food and service. Today, they only offered a prix fixe brunch at $55 per person. I did not want two brunch items so ate half of each. Why such a discrepancy? After parking for $30, it was $170 for 2. Please don’t force us to pay what you want us to pay.

    I’m often nervous about eating in a hotel dining room, but the food and ambience were wonderful. Our waiter, Bertram, was exceptional, from helping to navigate the wine list to making dinner recommendations. My wife had the duck, and I enjoyed the black cod. Both were very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, and would recommend eating here over some pricier options within walking distance.

    We had a great time and a delicious dinner at The George. Our server, Tammy, was beyond gracious and the hostess took great care of us. Be sure to have an after dinner drink in the speakeasy. We look forward to returning.
