George's Of Galilee

My family and I took the second trip to George's this summer. If you recall the movie "" My Big Fat Greek Wedding"" you would know what I mean by saying my family. Having 18 people in a party would put some restaurants into frenzy. Not at George's! We had the best time. Starting with the wait by the bar with a couple of Narragansetts, migrating slowly to our table having appetizers from real Rhode Island clam showder (not the starchy creamy one you get in the chain restaurants but the one with a subtle clam sweetness), my nieces ordered a sushi which were great. We all had their special lobsters. Our meals came fast and together. The guitarist kept us entertained. Our water said that George's uses local fisherman catch and is featured in the Rhode Show and Projo! Looking forward to get to G again soon. more

Very helpful and personable staff, catered to our idio syncrases with grace. Thank you :) more

Food was above our expectations- The Best- our waitress was a pure delight. more

Love coming anytime, mostly on a Sunday for music. more

Excellent service, waiter was extremely pleasant and attentive. Loved the fish and chips! more

Horribly disappointing experience here. Would not recommend it (unless perhaps you just want to go to the bar).\r \r Firstly, they have been advertising their new sushi menu like crazy, on their website and in person. The page for ""sushi"" is even in the menu - yet, we were told that they would not be serving any sushi for at least another month. Strike one.\r \r Secondly - there are only two vegetarian choices on the entire menu (unless other stuff was special ordered). One sounded delicious - the baby spinach & strawberry salad - unfortunately, they were not serving that either. Strike two.\r \r The only choice left was some sort of a ""Greek wrap,"" which consisted of only lettuce, tomato, way too many olives, and feta cheese. Really simple, and really not that good. Strike three.\r \r I also ordered some potato skins. WAY TOO DRY AND OVERCOOKED. THESE WERE HORRIBLE. DO NOT ORDER THE POTATO SKINS. Strike Four.\r \r When I ordered a water, they messed that up too. Because they serve all their drinks from a bar, I ended up with a dirty plastic cup filled with what appeared to be 9 parts water and 1 part iced tea. They messed up the second time by serving me water which had ice that was covered in...some sort of dirty stuff, I don't want to guess what it might be. Strikes 5 and 6. \r \r Overall the food seemed to be typical bar-fare. If you're looking to go get plastered and enjoy some sub-par food, then I recommend this place. If you're looking for a nice sit-down restaurant experience, then stray away. No matter where your placement in the restaurant, it was easy to hear the Jimmy Buffet music permeating through the air. Strike 7.\r \r I will NOT be returning here. ever. Unless, perhaps, to order their beer and stay away from the food. Pros: Good Bar Atmosphere Cons: Typical Bar-fare, low quality food, horrible ambiance, were out of several things on the menu, very little vegetarian options. more
