Description

What was called the Georgian Room is now just the Georgian, having undergone a paint job (seven shades of yellow) and a charge by the Fairmont Olympic to make the space and the menu more "accessible." It's nice that they're not going to force a loaner tie on you at the door anymore, but what is and always will be great about the Georgian is the splendorous formality. The cuisine now concentrates on Northwest ingredients, with dishes like wild Alaskan salmon with warm potato and wild mushroom salad and Kobe beef filet with oxtail "braisage." High tea, which is served daily at lunchtime, includes a pot of tea and a three-tiered silver tray of sweets and savories.

Where to truffle

By Kathryn Robinson | Wed, February 14, 2001

SURELY, NO DINING ROOM in all of Seattle is more opulent than the Georgian. Even if the crystal formality of the place doesn't suit your taste, it does tend to make a mini-vacation of a meal. Visiting a hotel in your own city is always a bit of a ... More »
