Review Summary

Bar George offers a visually stunning and historic dining atmosphere that is widely praised for its opulence and architectural beauty, making it a popular choice for special occasions. Many guests highlight the Beef Wellington as a standout dish, alongside a creative cocktail menu and generally high-quality British-inspired cuisine. However, experiences vary significantly regarding service, which some find impeccable and attentive, while others describe it as inconsistent, impersonal, or slow. While the ambiance is frequently described as vibrant and sophisticated, a subset of diners finds the music too loud or mismatched for the venue, and others note that the pricing is high for the portion sizes provided. Ultimately, the restaurant is often viewed as a memorable destination for its setting and culinary highlights, though individual encounters with staff and pacing can impact the overall satisfaction of the visit.

For my first time in Bar George, we rented a private dining room. The procedure to book it was very straight forward & easy. If you're a couple or a small group, I suggest you take a look at their options: they have different room sizes & the rooms are surprisingly really quiet. If you want have a nice conversation & avoid the loud music & noise of the main room, I suggest you take a look.

Otherwise, both the service & food was excellent. Our server was Jay & he was fantastic throughout the entire service - easily one of the best we ever had the pleasure to be hosted by.

I've been to Bar George many times & it's always excellent. The vibe, service, & quality are consistently on point. Not sure how I forgot to leave a review before, but better late than never one of my favorite spots.

A rail 🚂baron's mansion that is nearly as old as our country could easily be a b&b, beautiful & boring. But not this place, it has a vibrant yet chill atmosphere. I love sitting here & soaking in the atmosphere & people… & don't miss the Matane shrimp toast. 😋

Service impeccable dans un lieu enchanteur. Le décor est antique chic, très léché. Serveur attentif à nos demandes. Les entrées suggérées par notre serveur étaient succulentes, particulièrement le tartare de boeuf & le ceviche. & que dire du boeuf Wellington !!! Un pur délice. Un peu douloureux sur le portefeuille, mais en vaut chaque sous.

A beautiful restaurant. I visited here a few times. Always enjoyed the food & atmosphere. The only thing I would say is the portion size, & it's a bit pricey for the amount of food offered. For example, today we went for brunch. The dish is so small. We had to order side dishes to feel a bit full. I recommend that the restaurant reconsider its portion size. Maybe supply those nice duck fat potatoes as part of the meal. I think when customers feel satisfied & full, they will come back.

New years Eve dinner scam with chef Ramaswamy. Decided to treat my wife to a 5 course dinner at Bar George for new years eve for $ 280 a pop ! Big mistake here is why: We are not food critiques or fancy food influencers lol we are very simple straight frwrd no BS customers. The menu says lobster tail as an appetizer we expect to get the lobster tail not a sorry chunk of lobster the size of a shrimp impaled on a squewer ! The Ramaswamy came out to our table, I let him know straight up this is not what it says on the menu ! He replied bluntly that it's only a piece of lobster tail not the whole tail expecting me to back down ! I pointed out to him that the menu said other wise, please see the menu photo below & decide for yourself ! He laughed it off & left. From there on the whole menu went crashing down : soggy stuffed pasta raw for aldente, with white truffles & a creamy white sauce that you can get for 20 dollars anywhere in little Italy, then came black boiled cod which was tasteless & disgusting not worth $15 dollars at any fish & ships. The tuna Wellington was a disgrace ! who ever George is he must be turning in his grave … the Pastry bland, the tuna uncooked & cold .. & finally a sorbet with no taste on top of tiny chocolate bar with pears that you over pay at $ 7,50 dollar price tag from any French patisserie on the plateau! All in all one dollar appetizer + $20 pasta + $ 15 cod +$ 10 tuna Wellington & $ 7,5 $ dessert for a max total a $ 53 worth experience sold at $ 280.l left 20% for the service because they were doing their job & they paid for our drinks 2 cocktails & a coke zero to make it up to us ! So for two we paid with tips & taxes $750 & there you have it : a New Year's Eve dinner scam in deed ! I left a note to fire the chef because it's a failure & he is rude on top of it ! Just saying first & last experience at mount Stephen hotel … it's not about paying money it's about being cheated out of your money while your trying to finish the year with a classy meal lol !
