Everything about this dinner was AMAZING! We started with the Sweet Garlic Shrimp, which were delicious. For the main courses we chose the Seared Diver Sea Scallops and Black Bass. They were both AMAZING! The scallops were the best I’ve ever had. What really set this place apart from others on the riverwalk was the service. We dined and had drinks at the bar. Deon, our bartender was FABULOUS!! He was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. He checked on us throughout our meal to make sure everything was perfect! This was our first visit to The George, but it definitely won’t be the last!

1st time eating here and everything was amazing. Quick service friendly staff and the food omg was great. I highly recommend the crab dip for appetizer and the scalloped linguine for your entree. The homemade dressing with my salad was delicious. Definitely my new favorite.

Good food and and great service. My only recommendation is to inform the guests they will receive the focaccia bread with the meals. I requested the paid bread as an appetizer and we would not have ordered it knowing it was included in most of the meals. It is written on the menu but we had not read the menu yet.
