We came to Fairmont for a date night: got our massages, relaxed in the spa zone and then went for a dinner. The George features unique interior, attentive service and interesting tastes. We ordered a couple of appetizers, 2 mains and a desert and everything tasted fresh and balanced. My husband loved the sirloin stake the best and I enjoyed my wagyu burger. The tiramisu for 2 was a nice touch as the end of the dinner.

Located inside the historic Fairmont Olympic Hotel, The George is a stunning dining experience that truly delivers on both flavor and service. This is a special spot for a high-end brunch or breakfast—refined without feeling stuffy. The service was solid and attentive throughout, and the smash burger was excellent, perfectly executed and packed with flavor. The décor is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, creating an elevated, timeless atmosphere that matches the grandeur of the hotel itself. A must-visit for a special occasion or celebration, or anytime you want a polished, memorable dining experience in Seattle.

Was staying at a nearby hotel and came for breakfast. It goes without saying the interior is absolutely stunning. The colors, the furniture, art just blends so well together. The quality of the decor is only matched by the food. Everything was fresh, seasoned and delicious. Would recommend the Dungeness crab omlette or the salmon lox for a lighter meal. There is plenty of meat incorporated in each dish so you don't feel skipped out on. For kids, I think the best wasn't the pancakes but the fresh vanilla yogurt and berries. The service was excellent as well. Each team member was in sync making sure our drinks were always full and refreshed. They would often check in to ensure everything was up to their standards and I appreciate that greatly. Will certainly be back, hopefully for dinner next time.

We came here because the space looked beautiful and the menu looked like it could accommodate gluten and dairy sensitivities—and they were very gracious about making a few tweaks to my meal for me. Our server Janice was so lovely, we really enjoyed talking with her and appreciated all of her recommendations.

This last Christmas I had the most spectacular meal at the George with my girlfriend. The service was excellent. They were more than thrilled to make our evening special. Food was excellent. I had the half duck and she had a beef and polenta dish that was excellent. The cocktails were phenomenal. We're never going to forget this place because it is where I decided to ask her to marry me! Thank you, George and Fairmont staff.

This restaurant came up a few times in my search. So on our last night in Seattle we decided to try it. Such a pretty location. Our server was very attentive and made suggestions for us. Our Oysters were fresh and tasty. Our drinks well made and our server even made us a version of a green tea shot. Our meat was well cooked and flavorful. Overall an excellent experience here. The only draw back, bring a sweater it was a bit chilly. It was a great way to say goodbye to Seattle.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was beautiful, warm, and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special celebration. We visited to celebrate a birthday, and the team truly made it a memorable and special occasion for us. A special thank you to Daniel and Mr. Eyup for their outstanding hospitality and attention throughout the evening. They made us feel genuinely welcomed and took great care of us, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was prepared with great quality and attention to detail. The portions were also perfectly satisfying, not too small or too overwhelming, just ideal. Service was fast, smooth, and professional, and we never had to wait long for anything. We also loved the music and overall ambiance, which added so much to the experience. Everything — from the atmosphere, service speed, food quality, and hospitality — was simply excellent. Thank you for giving us such a fantastic and memorable experience. We truly enjoyed every moment and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

The George sets a standard that very few restaurants in this city can match. The space alone is worth the visit. Art deco chandeliers, soaring ceilings, Palladian windows, hand-painted tiles. It is genuinely one of the most beautiful dining rooms I have been in, and it has been that way since 1924. The renovation did it justice without stripping any of the soul out of it. The food is exactly what you want from a Pacific Northwest brasserie. Locally sourced seafood, premium cuts, seasonal ingredients that are actually treated with intention. Nothing feels like it is trying too hard. The cocktail program is creative without being gimmicky, which is rarer than it should be in Seattle. Service was attentive and polished in a way that matched the room. You can tell the staff takes pride in the experience they are delivering, which makes a real difference at this price point. My wife and I came for dinner and it quickly became one of our favorite date night spots in the city. If you are looking for a special occasion restaurant or just want to eat somewhere genuinely excellent downtown, The George earns every bit of the reputation.

We stayed at the Fairmont and received a breakfast credit to The George. Without that credit, I’m not sure we would have tried it for breakfast, but I’m so glad we did! We ended up eating there every morning, and after we checked out, we genuinely missed how delicious the breakfast was. Jorge was our server and he was awesome—so much so that we requested him for the rest of our mornings there. Over the course of a few days, we tried a bit of everything: the omelets, oatmeal, pancakes, and the French toast. The French toast was the clear winner for our group and we ordered it multiple times! Even better is that they offer a gluten free version. Another standout was the green juice, which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend, whether you are staying at the hotel or just looking for an incredible breakfast spot in Seattle!
