George's - Southampton

Our party of 6 friends had excellent dinners at George’s Restaurant. We came across it after we could not get into the Pig in Wall and Duke of Wellington. And we were so happy to have found this place!. Both the food and service was excellent with moderate prices for the food and drinks. They had a nice sized dinner crowd when we arrived. The restaurant is good size so our party of 6 was seated right away. We were staying at a hotel within walking distance waiting for our cruise ship. Next time we are in Southampton we will definitely return to George’s Restaurant.

We have just got back from a fabulous evening and an amazing meal for Grandad’s 85th Birthday. The service was exceptional Pete’s wife served us, so sorry can’t remember her name but she is a credit to the business. I had a fillet steak with salad and chips with George’s famous coleslaw and Cornish crab cakes from the specials starters board so good) would absolutely recommend a visit to this lovely, family run restaurant hidden down the bottom end of town.

We enjoyed our meal, as we have done in the past. Traditional Greek food was our choice. The service was efficient and friendly. The only disappointment was how cold the restaurant was on the freezing night we visited. They really needed more heating. The radiators were barely warm and being seated by the window meant it really wasn’t very comfortable. Our fault we didn’t ask to be moved but we shouldn’t have needed to! However, the food and wine were very satisfactory and no doubt we will return sometime.

LOVE this place! We have visited a few times with various friends and always the service and the food has been excellent. Its a great place to go with friends for a celebration, nothing is too much trouble. BEWARE arrive within your time slot, they get very busy and understandably will turn you away if you are late.

To say I’m absolutely fuming with George’s Restarunt is an understatement !! We’ve been using this place for over 20 years as have most of the family. If there is an occasion George’s was the go to place … we were going so often at one point that when my wife was Pregnant one time they even done her take away of her favourite starter … but now I guess they don’t want the business. This weekend was supposed to be a special weekend for my youngest son. Back when he was younger he’d sit in there and eat the kids meatballs which were bigger than his head. Now he’s older and this was his delayed birthday weekend, and his first weekend home from the army in a long time. HIS choice of venue was to eat a George’s restaurant. I booked the table online for 18:30. I had a phone call from the restaurant to confirm our booking on the day, I even phoned them back to confirm the birthday part of it so logic says we were going to be there. Due to my sons train arriving late We arrived 13 minutes late to the restaurant to be told we could no longer have our table. What the hell !! The place was t busy and how does 13 minutes make a difference?? It’s a shame time moves on and the younger staff have no idea what loyalty means or even basic customer service for that matter. It’s a shame because the whole family have many many years of good memories here and now I have no desire to return to a place that doesn’t want my business. I’ll also be talking the rest of the family into finding a different venue for all future family events. Maybe George’s will continue as they have for a long time or maybe it’ll be run into the ground and disappear along with the original values this place held
