    Our Thanksgiving dinner exceeded all expectations! The three-course meal offered so many amazing options, it was hard to choose. I went with the kale salad, surf and turf featuring filet mignon and shrimp, and ended with a decadent chocolate torte paired with vanilla ice cream. Others in our group enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and it was just as incredible. The cocktails were equally impressive and complemented the meal perfectly. Having dined here many times before, I was pleasantly surprised to learn they offer a three-course dinner option year-round. With impeccable service, breathtaking views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, and consistently outstanding food, this restaurant is sure to become a regular favorite for dining out in Seattle.

    We dined at the George on Thanksgiving day. Gary's service was unmatched. The milk bread and pumpkin soup were delicious. Adult beverages were tasty and plentiful. Even the brussels sprouts were good (and I don't like brussels sprouts). A bit pricey, but worth it for the occasion.

    Ben Paris was great, but Open Table dropped the Ball. Not just for me, people on both sides of me had made a reservation for the Thanksgiving Meal. We all found out that we could not have our traditional meal, it didn't start until the evening, and they were sold out. I was lucky to find a place that I could still get in for my Turkey and Stuffing and all the things I had been looking forward too! Rich VanGogh
