My wife and I had dinner last evening with our granddaughter and her fiancé to celebrate their upcoming wedding at Georges’s. We were greeted pleasantly by the hostess who graciously allowed us to ‘pick’ the ‘best table’ for our party. When our group was complete, our server, Baptiste, explained the happy hour specials and provided recommendations. We ordered mussels and frites and a charcuterie board as appetizers and selected a bottle of excellent white French wine. Both appetizers were delivered fresh and flavorful. Our entrees consisted of trout, chicken and chicken crepes. All of our selections were delicious and well presented. A special treat were the chocolate eclair we shared for dessert and a small pot of French press coffee. Baptiste was attentive and friendly throughout our meal and we were able to enjoy each other’s company because of the well paced dining rhythm that Baptiste, his assisting staff and the kitchen provided. We have enjoyed meals around the world and George’s French Bistro is a very pleasant addition to our experience.

We usually go for dinner here and it’s always consistent and delicious! But never tried their morning brunch buffet, and once again the food and experience was awesome! Probably one of the best brunch’s we’ve had in a very long time! Definitely will go again soon!

The food was incredible, the service was very good, and the facility was very nice as well. The lighting was just a little brighter than I prefer for a setting like that. But that's just me being picky. You can't go wrong with the Ribeye and the smoked old fashioned is the best I've ever had!
