George’s On Mt Vernon Square

We had breakfast here and it was great. The staff was super friendly and polite. We had the traditional breakfast platter and although simple as the name would suggest it was cooked to perfection. Our bacon was deliciously crispy but not drowned in oil or burnt, the potato fries was nice and crisp, egg was nicely cooked and toast has plenty of spread selections. Price is reasonable so worth the trip! Attached to the Wyndham Mt Vernon baltimore, great hotel check out my review.

I think maybe we might have hit on a bad night. And a large part of the problem was the wait staff, who might have been new. I think the food had a lot of potential, however. It took a while for our waiter to get back to us for our drink order so we went ahead & ordered the food. It then took a while to actually receive the drinks. We told him to go ahead and get us another round since the bar was apparently busy. We both ordered the Maryland crab soup but different salads. It took another 20 minutes to get the soup. In the meantime the waiter returned to refill our water glasses & tell us that unfortunately they were all out of MD crab soup so it was taking the kitchen a while to heat some up for us. It wasn’t until he walked away that we looked at each other and said, «wait…what?» When we finally got our soup the broth was very tasty but the veggies were extremely crisp. Which can be a really good thing if you’ve ordered fresh veggies, but not what you really want in soup. And come to think of it, I don’t recall actually seeing any crab. After my 2^nd spoonful I decided to deal with the fresh veggies and eat the soup, but that’s when I encountered my first potato. Rock hard. Since the salads had come out with the soup, I put the soup aside and started working on the salad. Which I forgot to mentioned was delivered without the chicken I had very clearly ordered. I had ordered the grilled Caesar and it was very tasty. Out drinks were long-​ago drained & there were no replacements in sight. BOTTOM LINE: it’s worth a try. As I said, I think we might have hit a bad night. Except for the soup, the food was delish & what we saw on other tables looked great. Give it a try.

We used to come to George’s quite often, but after a few months hiatus we returned to find a new menu and really mediocre food. We were there for Sunday brunch. The crab in the crab Benedict was completely unseasoned. It tasted like it was straight out of the container. The scrambled eggs were either from a carton, or were so over milked as to completely ruin their texture. Also they raised their prices. Too many good brunch options in the neighborhood (and more being added) to waste the money on George’s now standard hotel fair. It’s a shame too because of how beautiful the space is.

The feel of the was plush and comfortable — though it was disconcerting how empty it was. By the end of my dinner there were only about four other tables filled.
But — let’s get down to the meat of this review: my dinner. I chose «The perfect pair» for my entrée which included an steak *and* crab cake. Truthfully — the crab cake really is as tasty as the other reviews say it is. It is really «crabby» and I am very satisfied with it. However, that steak left me wishing I had just gotten the two crab cake platter. I was not a fan of the sauce for the steak — I felt it was a bit too salty. On top of that, the steak was a bit too seared and I didn’t like the somewhat charred edge flavor. I ordered my steak «medium» but maybe I should have gone with medium rare.
I had a cocktail (mojito) which was ok. Nothing to rave about but not awful either.
I was craving something sweet so I asked for dessert — all they had was NY cheesecake. Ok, if you’re going to only have one option at least make it amazing. Hint: it was not. It was basic and bland. Even the whipped that topped it seemed like it was out of a a reddi whip or some other store bought cream.
Basically, the only worthwhile thing I had was the crab cake. The service was fine though — attentive and pleasant. But then again, there weren’t that many other patrons to keep an eye on.
Dinner = about $ 50 (entrée $ 30, cocktail $ 10, dessert $ 7).
Apparently they have a great HH, so I’ll come back sometime and try it out. At the very least, the bar area looks nice.

Staff were dressed sloppily. Food order was wrong twice. Worst offense was like warm coffee served to me twice on two different visits! When I asked for fresh coffee they took my coffee back and microwaved it. I’m staying in the hotel but won’t ever go to George’s again

Great place. Good food. Beautiful. Very professional team. Vince is wonderful as are many of the locals that visit. Try the leek and potato soup. I don’t think you’ll be sorry.

I don’t know why this place isn’t packed for brunch. Maybe because it’s attached to the hotel and otherwise doesn’t have a lot of signage. It was a little tricky to find. Unilocal actually has it about a block away from where it actually is, but it’s in the Wyndam. Anyway, our server, Jack, was so friendly and accommodating. He was very knowledgeable about the menu.

The morning wait staff is nice, definitely enjoyed my morning breakfast. However, the afternoon staff does need to learn some manners. A smile when addressing a table should be an unmentioned part of customer service. Don’t assume that the $ 18 change is your tip for a $ 12 meal and then look offended when I ask for my change after waiting patiently for 10 minutes on your return with my money. The burgers however were tasty.

First of all I had no idea that this restaurant was inside of the hotel that I was staying in in Baltimore. The bf and I needed a super quick bite to eat as I had to make it to a show in under an hour. So, a quick Unilocal search showed me that there were slim pickins round those parts! George’s was the only place within walking distance that looked halfway decent, so there we went.
We walked out of the hotel and looked pretty crazy when I asked the valet how to get to George’s and he said «oh it’s inside». Whoops. So we did a smooth about face and went back into the building. The restaurant looks pretty laid back and inviting. The waitress greeted us immediately and she was the star of the show. I would come back just for her.
The food? Meh. I mean, the great thing about the meal was that my chicken was juicy as all heck. There is nothing worse than a dry piece of chicken. Amirite? I had a side caesar salad that was faaaaabulous. The only thing about it was that it was way, way, too buttery. I just am not a fan of people drowning food in butter and calling that seasoning. The juiciness of the chicken saved it from being a real miss.
Overall, a solid choice if nothing else is open, but next time I’m going to venture out before settling on George’s.

The Rockin’ Rye Manhattan rocked my world. The mac n cheese helped soften the fall. Bartender was friendly, fast and efficient. Traits we appreciated since we were dangerously close to call time for our play. We made it! Hooray!

Came in for a happy hour swayed by the $ 2.50 domestic beer prices. Ordered a Sam Adams and my friends ordered two other beers. When I got the bill, none of them were at the happy hour price. Apparently the only beers that count as domestic are Coors, Bud, and Natty Boh, and I only found that out because I asked. Maybe that’s common knowledge, but at the very least they should provide a list ON THE MENU of the beers they include in the happy hour specials. Also, the bartender was pretty snarky and unapologetic when I asked why beers brewed in the US weren’t domestic beers. Won’t come back here again.

Worst breakfast I have ever eaten in Baltimore. I ordered a steak and eggs. What a mistake. My breakfast potatoes were completely raw. I ordered my steak medium it came out burnt and tough. I sent back the steak and 20 min later an even more well done steak came out that I couldn’t eat. They even had the nerve to change me because they couldn’t find the manager breakfast took 1&½ hrs and I still didn’t get my entrée

I been meaning to write a review for my fave happy hour place in the Mount Vernon Square section of town. They have the best happy hour that I can think off. $ 2.50 domestics, $ 4.50 glasses of house wines and $ 5 dollar appetizers and rail cocktails. Nuff said. And John the bartender is always so nice and pleasant. What more can you ask for. I havent had the liberty to come for brunch or dinner, but I will make it my justice to do that next time

My job often places me in the middle of no where, with little accessible food, bathrooms or outlets (who in this day and age can live without a phone charge?!).
True to form, I was managing an event by the Washington Monument and was in desperate need of all of the above. So, my co-​worker and I stumbled on in and were immediately greeted by server who was didn’t even blink when we set up our command center.
We quickly ordered hot coco to warm up and two burgers, which were just as quickly delivered. Our waitress was polite as we scarfed our food while responding to many emails and phone calls.
Now, the burgers were good and the fries delish, but they didn’t stop me in my tracks. However, a very, VERY solid three stars for business traveler friendly service. If you need a good nosh and don’t want to venture far in downtown Baltimore, George’s is a good option!

I went to Georges for the first time this past weekend to meet a friend. I’m in love. This place feels so homely. The salad I had was huge and the servers/​staff were friendly and accommodating. I will be going back.

Very clean and pretty. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Came for happy hour. Good wine and cocktails at good prices. Didn’t try the food.

Go to Doobies.
Horrible server. We advised on way in that my girlfriend is a diabetic and would do well to have a glass of OJ. As she was bringing ione to someone else, we caught her eye and she rediverted to us.
It took another 15 minutes to get the correct menu, when we gave our order. She walked away in the middle of us giving our order to get us the correct menu.
Another
10
Minutes.
As my girlfriend is about to throw up, we finally get our coffee about 25 minutes in. Here with daughter to get brunch.
Still waiting for our cream. We got our cream from another table.
We have ordered simple stuff, eggs whichp got to us at the half hour mark.
The other server seems to have managed to greet the party twice our size in under a minute.
Food seems good. I ordered lox and bagel, eggs and sausage for both daughter and girlfriend.

This place is so good that I wish I could use swear words to describe it. First we go in here at 8pm on a saturday night; they have about 20 total tables and only 2 are full, our group of 4 was the third. I presented my restaurant dot com card and she took it happily, covering alcohol and everything. Well the service was fantastic, the drinks were great, and the food was out of this world good. Im talking like fancy gourmet french dinner sans all the butter and snails.
Our appetizer of Caprese salad was super fresh drizzled in a delicious dressing. Our salads, (I had one with walnuts, craisins, and bleu cheese), others had something with an egg in it, another person got their crab cakes, we also got some spicy red crab soup. Everything was amazing. I highly recommend everyone eating here!

I literally JUST came home from this place and had a terrible experience. It is mostly dealing with the waitress that we had this morning. The only thing I regret is not getting her name.
We went here because it was the only place open at 7:30am on a Sunday. There was a gentleman that sat us and took our order (he was fine). Then a girl was taking care of us. When I got my food (I ordered the breakfast sandwich with biscuit) I was impressed by the quantity. When I went to go eat it, the biscuit was dry and unsavory. It took us forever to get the waitress’ attention. When we finally got it, I just substituted my biscuit for toast. All was fine until I got the toast. There was pink stuff on my toast. When pointing out to the waitress what I found, she casually said «oh thats just strawberry jelly from the knife.» First of all, who doesn’t wipe off a knife before using it or grab a new knife? Second of all, I knew it was the waitress that cut the toast since she knew exactly what it was that was on my toast! Lazy much? She said shed get me a new toast but at that point I told her I lost my appetite. She gave me a stank look! How is this acceptable behavior?

So stumbled into «George’s on Mount Vernon Square» on a rainy Thursday night. I was actually lost on W. Monument Street. Couldn’t remeber what little side street I parked on… LOL!
#GMVS is located in the Wyndham Peabody Court Hotel, which make sense becasue like its restuarant, the hotel itself is a real live diamond in the rough of Baltimore. (For those who care: Breakfast, lunch & Dinner happen daily 6:30am — 10pm. Sunday Brunch 11am — 3pm. Need more deets then that: (410) 727‑1314)
Thanks to the most amazing batender «Joe». who not only recomended the most delish, salon salad. He spilled the tea on how the #GMVS got its name, the restuarant is actually named after the three major George’s of Baltimore — George Washington, George Peabody and George Herman «Babe» Ruth… now go run tell taht… LOL!
The menu is a blend of New American cuisine with a sexy French influence. Not only is theservice kick ass, but the décor, certainly made me feel like i was dining with Beyonce… or some damn body! Great date noght spot especially for those taking in something at CenterStage, Baltimore Symphony, Baltimore School for the Arts, Peabody Institute, Everyman Theatre and Spotlighters Theatre… and if you didn’t know that half those places existed… then. you’re welcome :)
PS: shout out to Joe for turning on #Scandal for me that night… it wascake!
