I wanted to take a moment to share how impressed I was with my recent visit to George’s Bistro. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere, the attention to detail, and the quality of the food were absolutely delicious! Every dish we ordered was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor—it’s clear your chefs take immense pride in their craft. Another fun moment was with my friend who joined me for dinner. She’s not a fan of potatoes and initially wanted to substitute them for another side. However, after trying mine, she loved them so much she ended up taking my leftovers home! We both got a good laugh about it, and it’s just another testament to how outstanding the food is at George’s Bistro. However, what truly made my experience unforgettable was the service, especially from Mark, the bartender. Not only did he craft some of the most delicious drinks I’ve ever had, but he also went above and beyond to make my birthday extra special. I wasn’t sure what to drink, and Mark surprised me with a custom creation that was absolutely perfect—every sip was a revelation! It was evident that he put thought and care into the drink, and it turned what was already a wonderful evening into something truly memorable. I can’t forget to mention the “Home for the Holidays” horchata drink. Initially, I was hesitant to try it, worried it might not sit well with my stomach. But thanks to Mark, who took the time to clarify the ingredients and reassure me that this cocktail would not disappoint, I decided to give it a try—and oh, am I glad I did! It was absolutely phenomenal. Smooth, perfectly spiced, and irresistibly creamy, it exceeded all my expectations. It’s not just a drink; it’s an experience! Mark’s expertise, creativity, and friendly demeanor are a true asset to your establishment. I left not only feeling incredibly special but also eager to return and recommend George’s Bistro to everyone I know. Thank you for an incredible experience—I can’t wait to come back!

Everything was great. Festive. The seasonal Pear martini was amazing, get it! My only TINY complaint is that it's fairy loud. That is just my personal preference and i get right over it when the culinary excellence hits the table. George is a 12/10 EVERY time.

We love this place. I hate to give only three stars but last night was such a disappointment. Food was just ok. Service was subpar at best. This is our favorite place for date nights and special occasions. Very surprised. It wasn’t even very busy. There were empty tables. Hopefully it was just a one time problem.

George Bistro and Bar has amazing food, friendly staff, and overall great atmosphere. I enjoy coming here, and the seasonal specials are always a hit. Tonight, I enjoyed the whiskey Horchata, octopus appetizer, miso halibut, and finished with a tiramisu. I always highly recommend this place.
