    I live in the area in the grand Marlin is by far of my favorite restaurant! The service, ambiance, drinks and food are always top-notch! It was a little loud in the corner in the room overlooking the water due to fans going, but we survived!

    We truly enjoyed our Christmas dinner! The house focaccia bread was delicious! The Chicken Parmesan and fried spaghetti egg was spectacular! My hubby got a brick oven pizza and there wasn’t a crumb insight. The Cabernet and Lemontini were the perfect dinner companions! Can’t wait to dine here again!!! Great service, beautiful ambiance and amazing food!

    This is a family owned and operated new business. From the moment you drive up front and park you know this is going to be a good experience, and it was. From the custom drinks to the deserts this was an experience we will cherish. If you like old fashion drinks 🍹 this is your place. The appetizers and salads were fabulous then came the meats which were served hot and done to perfection. If you are ever in this area DO NOT PASS Char 51 up. Make this your choice for lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed.

    I wanted to take a moment to share how impressed I was with my recent visit to George’s Bistro. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere, the attention to detail, and the quality of the food were absolutely delicious! Every dish we ordered was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor—it’s clear your chefs take immense pride in their craft. Another fun moment was with my friend who joined me for dinner. She’s not a fan of potatoes and initially wanted to substitute them for another side. However, after trying mine, she loved them so much she ended up taking my leftovers home! We both got a good laugh about it, and it’s just another testament to how outstanding the food is at George’s Bistro. However, what truly made my experience unforgettable was the service, especially from Mark, the bartender. Not only did he craft some of the most delicious drinks I’ve ever had, but he also went above and beyond to make my birthday extra special. I wasn’t sure what to drink, and Mark surprised me with a custom creation that was absolutely perfect—every sip was a revelation! It was evident that he put thought and care into the drink, and it turned what was already a wonderful evening into something truly memorable. I can’t forget to mention the “Home for the Holidays” horchata drink. Initially, I was hesitant to try it, worried it might not sit well with my stomach. But thanks to Mark, who took the time to clarify the ingredients and reassure me that this cocktail would not disappoint, I decided to give it a try—and oh, am I glad I did! It was absolutely phenomenal. Smooth, perfectly spiced, and irresistibly creamy, it exceeded all my expectations. It’s not just a drink; it’s an experience! Mark’s expertise, creativity, and friendly demeanor are a true asset to your establishment. I left not only feeling incredibly special but also eager to return and recommend George’s Bistro to everyone I know. Thank you for an incredible experience—I can’t wait to come back!
