    Had a lovely experience at The George for a girls night out. I started with the Pink Fetch cocktail which was light and not overpowering. We ordered the tuna wonton nachos. The wonton’s were crisp and delicious. The tuna was well seasoned and nicely prepared. I could have eaten the whole plate. We also ordered pierogies which were also delicious. As a main, we split a steak, creamed spinach and potatoes. We topped it off with an apple tart and banana pudding. We all enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Service was good as well. Will def be back

    As always, every meal is delicious here. The sushi is the freshest around. I had the yellowfin tuna as a main course and my husband had the beef shanks. Both meals were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The cocktails are very reasonably priced and again, so delicious. I had the pumpkin martini and my husband had the espresso martini. This place never misses.
