Discover The George: A modern dining destination led by Director of Culinary Eraj Jayawickreme. Indulge in a brasserie-inspired menu within a high-design space, marking a new era for this historic hotel's iconic dining room. The menu celebrates local, seasonal ingredients through small plates, raw selections, vegetarian options, mains, and desserts.

The George pays homage to the historic Georgian Room, a Seattle icon since 1924. Designed by renowned Spanish studio Lázaro Rosa-Violán, the space blends history with timeless aesthetics. Hand-painted tiles, Art Deco chandeliers, and marble floors enhance the ambiance, while floor-to-ceiling iron and glass doors and original Palladian windows complete the vision. With a private dining room and semi-private enclaves, The George is perfect for groups and special occasions.

    First time here. We were seated immediately in a beautiful dining room. We ordered wine. Our server poured a little wine for us to taste, and it turned out the red wine had gone bad. She immediately opened another bottle which was very good. We started with the crab and artichoke dip which was very good. My companion ordered the beef bourgeon and I ordered the steak with a lobster tail on the side. Both were excellent. The bourgeon was full of meat and vegetables and the steak and lobster were prepared perfectly. Fudge cake for dessert with coffee. The best part of our experience was our server, Breana. She was professional and timely and very engaging.

    The restaurant is pretty. That was the only good thing. It took 20 minutes for our server to even greet us. The food took forever to come out after we ordered. Everything was subpar. The steak had zero flavor, dry, the fries were cold and soggy by the time it reached our table. The server was so preoccupied walking outside of the restaurant to the lobby and helping other tables that we had to go ask another waitress to bring us the check. We got ignored several times when trying to flag him down. Loud loud loud group of girls. It was a bad bad experience. We don’t recommend.
