The George will be run by newly appointed Restaurant Executive Chef Thomas Cullen. Chef Cullen will set the new restaurant apart with a brasserie-inspired menu. Expect a showcase of PNW seafood, dry-aged meats, produce, sustainably foraged items, and more.
Some of the signature dishes include a traditional French bouillabaisse, The George seafood tower featuring a plethora of the sea’s best offerings, and Painted Hills bone-in short rib with heirloom carrots and natural jus. Of course, the menu will also be accompanied by an extensive bar program with hand-crafted signature cocktails created by Jesse Cyr, the hotel’s award-winning Beverage Curator.
