George's Food Spirits - Winchester

We originally came in for drinks and dessert, but ended up also ordering appetizers. The restaurant had a great variety of affordable wine options. I got the oysters which were good and reasonably priced. The key lime pie was delicious. After looking at the dinner menu, we decided we will definitely be returning soon for dinner.

I was really looking forward to dining at this restaurant as I was craving the southern cuisine of New Orleans. I went out for dinner with my co-workers. While I was disappointed by the Crab Cakes, I really enjoyed the Buffalo Oysters.

The new chef, William, is amazing! Congratulations to GW for adding him to their team. The food was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. It was a delight for both the eyes and the taste buds. I ordered the seared scallops, which were absolutely perfect. Though there were only three, they were large and satisfying, especially when paired with a delicious potato hash. My husband ordered the rock fish, which came in a large portion and was cooked perfectly as well. The combination of black rice and red pepper puree added a wonderful burst of flavor. We ended the meal with apple pie spring rolls and homemade cinnamon ice cream. I am already looking forward to returning to this restaurant.

Disappointed. Brought my wife here for a Mother?s Day ?fine dining? experience. Was attracted to the nice pictures and simple but seemingly elegant menu. This place has potential and in my opinion is a missed opportunity. I had to get up from my table and ask the manager for a coffee refill because I was being ignored by my server. Then even after that had to ask the server to fill my wife?s ice water. The manager is so disconnected that she didn?t even visit my tableafterwards to make sure our dining experience was okay. I only ate a few bites of my eggs Benedict. It was actually good but I lost my appetite because I ate a bad potato. Not even a question as to why my plate was hardly touched. I paid mybill. Left a 25% tip. (I say this because I am not interested in free food. I?m interested in a nice dining experience). But left quite disappointed. I was actually interested in coming back for dinner but, not sure I can get past thisexperience.

We can't say enough about our Christmas Day meal at The George. The menu was innovative and so affordable, especially considering the high food quality, and decadence! Cocktails were crafted beautifully, and that Beet Salad! Dear GOD. Butternut Squash Soup with a Cherry compote, topped with nuts. Wild forest cream ravioli, the BEST Beef Wellington, and Lord, the Creme Brulee. Service was top notch. We were delighted to see Chef Cheryl Ash!! She is a brilliant Chef! It was also a pleasure to meet your W Guest Chef. We HAD to make sure that they knew that everything was off the charts. It was the first Christmas after unexpectedly losing my 34 year old son. Your entire team went above and beyond andwe are grateful. It was absolutely the highlight of our holiday.
