"If you’re going the classic hotel holiday dinner route, it's important to make sure there's tasty food involved. At The George (located inside the Fairmont Olympic) you’ll find a family-style Christmas dinner at $85 per person that includes stuff like oysters, citrus-roasted beets, and beef tenderloin with Dungeness crab. Finish it all with a slice of bourbon spiced cake and the satisfaction of knowing there’s a clean kitchen back home." - kayla sager riley
"At this swanky hotel restaurant, you can cosplay as a forlorn tourist in head-to-toe business casual, in town for just one night of hot tuber-based companionship before catching the first flight back to Grand Rapids. The fries here work very well for the bit, tossed in a smoky seasoning and served with bright chimichurri aioli. If you’re feeling particularly bold, slide a room key over to a hottie on the other end of the bar and see what happens. (Probably nothing—this is Seattle, after all.)" - aimee rizzo
"For those days when you just want to dress up and look sexy at the bar with a glass of wine and a bowl of carbs, this is where to go, and the lamb agnolotti is what to get. Yeah, you don't receive many of these little savory meat-filled parcels in one portion. But what little savory meat-filled parcels they are, stuffed with earthy tender lamb lounging in silky parmesan broth like inner tubes on a lazy river." - aimee rizzo
"Seattle has a real deficit of restaurants that are as posh as a scene from Sex And The City. And just like that, The George opened. If you’re looking for a new place to dress up without feeling ridiculous and eat some fries or pasta with a glass of bubbles at the bar, add this opulent spot in the newly-renovated Fairmont Olympic Hotel to your back pocket. The menu, involving everything from seafood towers to pasta, is longer than a spoiled child’s holiday wishlist, and while some dishes don't live up to our expectations (like tough steak and even tougher duck breast), we're huge fans of their lamb agnolotti swimming in a silky parmesan broth. And, of course, the fries. photo credit: Charity Burggraaf, Fairmont Olympic" - Aimee Rizzo
"The George is the new full-service restaurant at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, part of a $25 million renovation of the historic hotel’s bar and restaurant areas. And the restaurant space, with its vaulted ceilings and granite tile floors, is stunning. And dry-aged steaks (from Carmen Ranch) are a cornerstone of the menu." - Megan Hill
