Discover The George: A modern dining marvel led by Chef Guillermo Carreno. Indulge in a brasserie-inspired menu and lavish bar program within a high-design arena, ushering in a new era for the historic hotel's iconic dining room. Our evolving menu celebrates local seasonal ingredients through small plates, raw selections, vegetarian options, mains, and desserts.
Embrace the Pacific Northwest at The George, savoring the freshest seafood from local waters and curated dry-aged meats. Artisan cheeses and vibrant fruits and vegetables are locally sourced. Signature dishes vary with seasons, from summer scallops to classic Steak & Frites.
Honoring the hotel's architecture, The George nods to George B. Post. Renowned Spanish design studio Lázaro Rosa-Violán orchestrates a captivating interior, blending history with timeless aesthetics. Hand-painted tiles, pendant lamp chandeliers, and striking marble floors elevate the ambiance while floor-to-ceiling iron and glass doors complete the vision.

    Ambiance was nice. Service was decent. Food was a little disappointing. On the saltier side.

    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.

    I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday at your restaurant! Chris, our waiter for the night, was exceptional - friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His outstanding service made my special night even more memorable. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Been wanting to go since they remodeled and was very pleased with everything. The space did not disappoint (very nice remodel). We have a 5 yo son so we didn’t mind it was a little loud in there, so if you’re going for a quiet dinner, it might not be the best option. The food, cocktails, and service were excellent. We’ll be back and would certainly recommend to friends.

    Beautiful restaurant. Service was incredible. We had high expectations for the dinner. Both our meals were definitely lacking that “wow” flavor that we were expecting. Not much flavor. My suggestion, grab a drink, enjoy the beauty of the restaurant and eat across the street at Purple.

    Inept and indifferent service. Food was mediocre and appeared to have been plated long before it was brought to the table. The scones were dry and dusty, the savory bites were soggy, the sweets were stale. A 20% surcharge was automatically added to the bill for a table of 3 without any notice. I would recommend avoiding this very costly and unsatifying "experience"
