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.

    Food was delivered helter skelter! One diners entre was first, then came their appetizer. Nothing for the second diner until the waitress finally came back to check on table. She then brought out the second diner’s appetizer which was quickly followed by second diner’s entre by server. Waitress was very apologetic and served a complimentary glass of wine. It seems as though the food order was submitted to the kitchen which prepared everything ordered but then the communication broke down and servers just delivered food as it was completed without any sense of the correct delivery order.

    Absolutely horrendous as severely understaffed, extremely loud and slow, to name just a few of the massive shortcomings here. Trust me, do not bother unless you love a terrible experience.
