George

[Urbanized]

I'd assume that if someone decided to bring it back, they'd fix the loudness and breaking-down (nothing could probably be done about the width of it).

Exactly. And "too narrow" is completely subjective, and based on server preference rather than customer preference. It's plenty wide enough for a four top and a server, and PERFECT for two diners (date night) while at the same time taking up very little of the overall real estate and leaving a massive amount of remaining space for larger tables inside the pillars. If an owner didn't want to cede the view to tables of 2-4, a creative space planner could place the interior tables on risers and *presto* EVERYBODY has a view.

I know someone who works on the first floor of this building and recently said to them, "it's a shame that the George closed" and they responded "yeah but the new place is good, too" and I was like, what?

Anybody know anything about that?

There is a deal in the works to make it some type of Hal Smith concept and from what I've heard, the rotating floor will probably be reactivated...supposedly it is still completely functional. As of the last time I heard anything, a deal was not in place yet, so it may have changed since that time.

This person indicated they had eaten there (as a post-George establishment), thus my surprise.

Strange...too my knowledge, no deal has been signed and the space was going to require some rearranging before opening.

So, being a cross of curious and nosey, did anyone ever open a new concept at the top of Founders after the George closed up shop?

7 month later and no PR? Highly unlikely.
