Georgie

I wasn't quite sure what to expect given the one star reviews that mentioned things like poor service or credit card surcharges, but still wanted to give Georgie a chance. In regard to service, perhaps we were lucky or the one-stars had an uncommon experience. I found the service to be perfect. Zero issues there.Interior is very nice but not stuffy; "business casual" did not feel out of place.The bread / butter was good. The hiramasa sashimi appetizer was small but tasty. My sturgeon entree would have been a very bland fish if not complemented by the delicious sauce. The maitake side was also to my liking. Lastly the "candy bar" dessert was a good way to end the night followed by a couple of complimentary sweets. In that a review less than one month old spoke of a 3% "credit card surcharge", annoying since it was not indicated anywhere on the online menu, I did come prepared with cash. FORTUNATELY, at least for us, the surcharge was not added. Maybe they've smartened up and stopped this practice which more often than not gets "self inflicted" one-star reviews when all else is fine. Cash discounts = fine. Credit card surcharges when noted on menu = annoying. Surcharges when not noted = unacceptable. Many places are going cashless. Raising menu prices 3% is less annoying.Whatever caused them to not add the surcharge to ours, combined with the fantastic service, raised them from a 4 to 5-star experience. If only they could get the construction out front finished! :)

Service - Outstanding. Valet service at entrance, every door opened for you, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Drinks handled by one specialist while the meal was handled by another. Very attentive staff for your every need. Ambiance - Warm and classy. Tables for two were very small but worked just fine. Though the dress code reminder in the email confirmation said no hats - there were plenty of men in baseball caps. Not a compliant just sharing. Food - Some were stand outs and some were interesting but not memorable. Bread and French butter infused with garlic - amazing. Took some home to go. Butter poached oysters - yum! Caviar didn't add much to it beyond looks. Butter sauce was perfect. But then again it's butter. Potato churros with onion sauce - memorable. Sauce was a stand out. Uni toast - Solid. Huge portion of Santa Barbara uni but it doesn't have the fresh ocean salinity as you'd find in uni when it's fresh. Maybe get one to try but no more. Cacio e Pepe - Dumpling style that was a bit too salty given the Parmesan stuffing. Duck confit sauce was Devine especially with the complimentary bread. Black truffle shavings had no aroma or flavor. Just looked pretty. Lobster and scallop "chowder" dish is delicate, light, and delicious. Won't fill you up if you didn't get a bunch of apps and pricey for only two scallops and one lobster claw at $58. Glad I tried it and enjoyed it but poor value. Cocktails - $35 for a cocktail should come with a song and dance. It was solid but not worth $35. The classic Georgie cocktail was good. Comp'd birthday dessert was a nice bread pudding with a spoonful of ice cream. Would visit again but be pickier about selections.

I've been dying to try this place as so many people had recommended it and I finally got to try it with some work friends. Service was incredible! The staff was so welcoming and the servers were attentive always checking in to make sure we didn't need anything. We were seated in the private room in the back, which was beautiful and secluded from the rest of the restaurant. The food was delicious! I ordered the NY strip, which was cooked exactly how I wanted (I hate when my steak is overcooked!). We also shared some dishes and my personal favorites were the Brussel sprouts and tuna. The star of the show was most definitely the bread and whipped butter. Simply wow. So incredibly flavorful and delicious that I almost ate too much and ruined the rest of my meal!

Drinks were not strong AT ALL, honestly tasted like there was just juice in there. Over priced for what it is. Was going to do just drinks and light bites at the bar here, but decided to just leave once we had tasted our drinks. Bartender and hostess were friendly though. Interior is also very pretty. Valet is not complimentary which was surprising.

Wow what a great meal at Georgie! When we first stepped in, we found ourselves in a retro throwback atmosphere, very unique and fun. The waiter was fantastic throughout our meal and made some fantastic suggestions.The plates are smaller, tapa style, so you can order a few to share. Highlights included grilled octopus (awesome Al Pastor flavor), Alaskan halibut & churros with onion dip. Every dish was expertly plated in a unique way. We loved the meal and definitely recommend!

High expectations I had when I first stepped into Georgie. No longer partnered with a celebrity chef; instead the kitchen has been magically transferred to the incredibly talented, The French Laundry in Napa alum, Chef RJ Yoakum. Mind blown dinners had!Fresh seasonal menus; fortunate I am with them keeping my two favorite starters, "Potato Churros"and "French Onion Consume", in tact so far. Gorgeous steaks are still being served; yet I have loved every bite of their "Tasmanian Ocean Trout" and "Dry-Aged Duck Breast"!Beautiful is the restaurant. I love sitting, sipping, and, nibbling at their bar on weekdays. As for weekends, wanting only the best for my close friends and familythis spring, our celebratory dinners have been and will continually be here at Georgie!CHEERS!

Love this place the schnitzel and the pastrami was amazing!! The app I can't remember had caviar was also really good!!

WOW will definitely be going back! Went for brunch and every single item we ordered was beyond amazing!!!! We had and orange raisin sweet scone with a lemon butter and the savory was a sausage and cheese with a chive butter amazing!!!!! Pork jowl was okay but still good! CHICKEN AND WAFFLES WAS TO DIE FOR WOWOWOWOWOWOWO!!!!! MUST TRY MUST TRY ! The inside was classy and cute and great for any occasion and the service was a touch behind but still worth the wait!

Georgie was a delight. I visited on a quiet Tuesday evening, but their attention to detail might as well have been Xmas day. The relaxing art deco atmosphere was a precursor to a lovely meal. We watched the kitchen from the dining room as their chefs prepared each part of our dining experience. Our appetizer was a half dozen oysters, their lightly flavored shallot dipping sauce was perfection. For dinner my friend had the red snapper and I had the 10oz NY Strip steak. Both were nuanced, amazing and tasteful. Go early. Stay late. They have a cozy bar and friendly helpful wait staff. Note: During my visit the area nearby was under construction. But they handled the distraction with grace. Don't let a few construction cranes keep you from enjoying Georgie's.

I am such a fan! Georgie has an upscale, lounge vibe and a creative and perfectly executed menu. I hadn't been there when it was more steak forward...the focus now is definitely more fresh ingredient focused. Everything was beautiful and equally tasty. My menu: Tomato consume ***** AMAZINGSnapper tartar *** a-okay and beautiful but could have been more flavorfulCorn Risotto ***** Wowza! This was an inspired dish!Brioche Crusted Salmon ***** Easily the most perfectly cooked salmon I have ever had. It was next level and perfect in every way!Basque cheesecake ***** cheesecake isn't even my favorite, but this was perfectly baked to solid on the outside and an interior the consistency of creme brûlée. Best cheesecake ever!So now I'm looking for people to take to Georgie. I never expected to love it as much as I do!
