Nice looking bar. Food is okay. There were no protein options for my salad. Tap water came out…read morewarm. Asked for a cold lager and got a warm bitter. You might want to make sure google translate is downloaded on your phone as none of the staff speak any English.

I hold the hotel attached to this restaurant in very high regard, but my opinion of The George…read morerestaurant is somewhat lower. We've sampled the dinner and the breakfast here and neither was memorable. At dinner, we had a slightly stringy ribeye that the kitchen would only offer done medium, and a nice spatchcock chicken in a pleasant tarragon sauce. The affogato we shared for dessert wasn't bad at all but the advertised cardamom ice cream didn't really taste of spice. It might be that flavoured ice cream in an affogato is a bad idea from the get, given that you're going to pour espresso over the thing -- it'd have to be marmite flavoured for any of that taste to get through. Breakfast the next morning featured a disappointing eggs benedict whose yolks were as well-cooked as the previous night's steak. The coffee to wash it down with was anemic -- though we learned that decent coffee is pretty rare in Rye generally, aside from strong stuff at The Apothecary down the high street. I don't want to be too down on The George. I adore the hotel, the staff are lovely, and menu incidentals like chips and sauces are all top-notch. But the quality of the hotel leaves one expecting the restaurant to hit a higher standard.
