George Street Pub

UPDATE:  

I wrote my original review (below) yesterday.  Apparently, just writing about it made me excited to come back, so I did.  My boyfriend and I went there at about 8pm on Valentines day, and somehow there was ONE table open.  We obviously took it.  Not only was our meal amazing, but our server, Ana, was legitimately AWESOME.  Kyle was really fantastic too.  I had the grilled cheese and tomato red pepper soup.  DELICIOUS.  My boyfriend had the salmon.  ALSO DELICIOUS.  We split an order of the fried calamari, and not only was it delectable, but one of the three sauces it is served with is orange marmalade.  I would NEVER think that the two would pair so well, but it was out of this fracking world.  I will be making this a regular spot.  You should do the same.  And, when you do, you should cross your fingers that you get Ana as your server, because she will make your night.  Guaranteed.  George Street Pub, I'll see you soon.

(Original Review)  I've only been here once, so it won't be until I return that I can give 5 stars, but I had a great experience at GSP.  I went with a friend for dinner simply because its about 2 blocks from my office and I needed to eat ASAP (not to mention that after work, I generally try and get a cocktail in my hand within ten minutes - my job is not fun).  I had the GSP burger and it was uh.maze.ing.  I am not going to pretend that I even got through half of it, because it was HUGE, but it was legitimately one of the best burgers I've had.  Service was quick, and our bartender was very friendly.  In unrelated news, she also had an awesome necklace on.  All in all, I had a good time and it didn't empty my wallet.  I will definitely be returning.

Hey bar manager or whoever you are with the poor customer service skills and bad memory.  Don't YELL at the customers as they are being seated, telling them they can't sit unless their names are on the list.  And when the customer says we did put our name on the list, don't yell back with attitude, NOT WITH ME, when in actuality it was with you.  And when you realize what an a-hole you just were, at least apologize for it.  Also, NEVER yank the back of a woman's coat aggressively.  If you need to ask or see something, you can just politely tap her on her shoulder.

So bummed!  I live in the neighborhood and love the food and drink selection, so I decided to host a birthday party here.  Sent an email and ended up making a reservation with one of the owners over the phone.  When I showed up at our reservation time (with 15 friends in tow) there were NO tables available.  We waited about 5 minutes until one opened up and then waited until an hour after our reservation time everyone was finally seated.  The owner who was there and the wait staff all knew about the reservation...just chose not to honor it?  I'm sure I'll be back because of the location but beware when making "reservations" for a party!
