| - Went to George with friends for a birthday celebration after hearing and reading rave reviews. Here are some key points based on my experience.
1. The food is very good, but not sensational overall. The waygu beef was wonderful, the Asian "inspired" dishes were a tad bland, the tuna was over-cooked, and the lamb was delicious.
2. George serves undersized entrees starting at $21 and ranging up to $33. Some seemed more like tapas. The menu suggests three courses, but also offers five course $99, seven course $125, and ten course $140 tasting options if everyone at the table agrees to participate.
3. My service experience was poor. It took four hours for four people to be served three courses. We sat with empty plates in front of us for over 20 minutes at one point. The server seldom checked on us or offered us more drinks, water, etc. Like many other patrons, we were enjoying our wine and conversation, but still wanted service.
4. The outdoor patio was nice, though some lighting was not functioning. The indoor space seemed nice as well.
5. Overall, George offers good food, but at over $100 a person, it should be. The service should also be top notch. It isn't. Three and a half stars.
