      Get the lamb chops! You won't regret it.
      In all honesty, everything was delicious.
      Very casual ambiance, two floors and patio.
      Our server was so sweet, she brought us wine samples when we asked for recommendations and she suggested all the best dinner options.
      I wish we lived closer, we would be here often!

      Haven't been here in years. So amazing to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was incredible, we ordered family style and had plenty of leftovers, the ambiance is beautiful. The neighboring tables kid came over and sing, happy birthday to our friend which was amazing. . And we had an unexpected city council member drop in for a few seconds.

      Thanks to Fabio and Adam for making our night a memorable one

      An absolute hidden gem in the Shore! I I love the personable and sophisticated vibe. They recently renovated and the bar area on a Friday night should be the place to be if you live here and/or want a nice glass of wine and a delicious Mediterranean bite any time of the week.

      Love this new bar area! Hidden Gem

      George is always has fun people and great food. There's no reason why anybody's crazy mind that if you like Greek food you wouldn't go to George's.

      The food was so so delicious. Every single bite was to be savored. We got the lamb chops (ridiculous), hummus and Kalamata spread with pita bread, and a small Greek salad. Ohhhhhh.....and the baklava! To die for!

      It was delicious, I wish I lived upstairs. You are making a mistake if you don't dine here.

      This was my second time trying Greek food, and I now love this cuisine because of George's Greek Cafe. I tried their beef gyro plate (it was huge!) and enjoyed how tender the meat was; it melts in your mouth! Next time, I will change it up and get rice. This is a great starter dish trying Greek food. It comes with salad, fries, and pita bread. I don't eat hummus regularly, so it was cool getting out of my comfort zone dipping the pita bread in it!

      My friends both ordered the Lamb chops and loved it; the waitress really sold them on it because it was a dinner special or something. We also ordered a bottle of wine to compliment our meal.

      Just a tip, parking sucks on 2nd street on Friday and Saturday; I recommend going through the nearby neighborhoods to find parking and walk. If you want a convenient experience, make a reservation via the Yelp app.

      Growing up in Chicago, I have frequented Greek town since I was a small child and it is one of my favorite spots around. Living in LA, it is really hard to find Greek food and I'm so thankful for George's! They have the dishes I love the most, skordalia and saganaki! The lamb chops are delicious too! A must visit if you love Greek, the service is wonderful too!

      The most outstanding thing about George's is the service. Yasmin was our server and she was awesome. Present without being intrusive and really, really helpful.

      For me, the food was a bit of a mixed bag. I thought the chicken kababs (we ordered them a la carte were outstanding. Seasoned to perfection and super juicy. The greek salad was very good. The hummus was good. And the soup (i always forget the name, but it's got lemon and rice) was bit disappointing.

      I really love that it's an open air restaurant, and it's on a part of 2nd St. that doesn't feel quite as busy, so it was really peaceful and relaxing sitting street-side.
