George's Restaurant & Lounge

This is the second time I've been here in the last six months...after never having tried it before in the 25 years I've lived in Miami.The first time: squid ink linguine with clams in a white wine sauce with a heavenly amount of garlic and a perfect gin and tonic This time: skirt steak for two with fries and calamari with zucchini Both entrees were so delicious.The steak was really juicy, smoky and cooked perfectly with a side of chimichurri, and hearty portions. One of the best steaks I've ever had in my life.Complimentary bread to start with a garlicky, chunky tomato side that steals the show.The service on both visits was excellent-- competent yet relaxed. They take such good care of you but it's not like they put on a show of it-- they just listen carefully, move quickly, and make a nice connection. And with the kitchen pumping out consistently delicious food, it's got to imbue the service with confidence in the product.Anyway, sat outside both times, warm, but not unpleasant, and with good people watching.The steak was so good, my son and I were driving home talking about the next time we go.

This Italian restaurant is nice and has great service but the prices don't match the Dish Portions. I ordered a chicken parmesan and the serving was a thin chicken breast cut for $25...Olive Garden gives you a better Portion for a cheaper price......I rather go somewhere else and get my money worth...

I can't believe I've never been here since I moved to Miami 16 years ago. This place has been open since 2000 in North Bay Village serving fine Italian cuisine and I'm telling you, this place is legit!The dining area is modern and clean. We especially adored the chandelier centerpiece. It's gorgeous! Now let's talk about the food starting the Carpaccio. Wow. This was probably the best one I've tried. We also orderd the Burrata. Super fresh and the Prosciutto was delicious. Also, the Arancinis were to die for. As for the main course, we shared the Rib Eye Steak Special and the Black Linguine All Vongole. The steak was perfectly cooked. Good quality cut and juicy. The pasta was also well prepared. Al dente noodle and the sauce was just right. We also saved room for dessert and their Chocolate Lava Cake hit the spot. Fresh, warm, gooey. Just an explosion of flavor.I love this place. Now that I finally experienced the service and quality food, I would come back. Big thanks to our server. He was very knowledgeable and super friendly. Parking was also easy. There's plenty of street parking or park at the public lot righ across the street. Parking is free after 6 I think.

This was my very first time sitting at a bar to eat. All staff treated me very well from the time to stepped foot into the establishment until I left. Although it wasn't a table, they set the area before me very nicely and multiple people checked on me throughout my dinning. I felt very comfortable. The food was okay, it's not something that I was used to but I have no complaints. My drink was great!

Spent 5 days in Miami and ate at lots of places. This was, by far, my favorite place to eat! This is an upscale restaurant that still has reasonable prices which is not easy to find in Miami!Warm bread on the table to start and they give you a little bowl of bruschetta to put on the bread. It was fabulous!Lots to choose from on the menu and then also specials. Our server was great and answered all our questions. He also made great recommendations. Great service overall!Everyone loved their meals. I got the fettuccine ai frutti di mare. I got it in the lobster cream sauce. The sauce was delicious. I could not stop eating my food. It was sooo good!! Needless to say, I was too stuffed for dessert.Highly recommend coming here if you are in the area. Definitely worth a visit!

I accidentally stumbled upon George's Restaurant & Lounge while heading to another Italian restaurant, and it was possibly one of the best decisions I've made in a while because my dining experience at George's was outstanding!I could primarily focus on their great food offerings, however, good food is usually easier to find in my opinion than great overall service. Therefore, I'll be highlighting the great door to door service I received at George's Restaurant & Lounge because it was truly phenomenal.Upon entering this establishment, their hostess was slightly backed up, however, she was very kind and did a great job of quickly bouncing back and keeping their waitlist organized. After waiting in the sitting area next to their bar for roughly 10 minutes (which I honestly didn't mind due to how comfortable it was), I was seated outside on a rather brisk night due to the inside of the restaurant being full.After being seated near the street, I requested to be relocated to a table with a heat lamp since it was rather chilly outside. Both the waitress and busser accommodated me immediately with genuine smiles.After changing tables, I enjoyed some more tasty bread with the great olive oil and diced tomato based sauce they brought to the table. My soup, which had egg and spinach in it, arrived shortly after being order and it was a great recommendation! My entree, which was Black Linguine Alla Vongole, exceeded my expectations and I would honestly order it again because it was truly a great dish.In summary, if you're ever in the area, be sure to stop by George's Restaurant & Lounge, even if it's just for a drink or light bite to eat. You won't be disappointed.

Everything at this place works well, the food, the drinks and the service. I was very happy to be back! It's a great neighborhood restaurant and the quality is great.

We are in Miami on vacation and found this gem online! Our server Christian was amazing and all the staff were extremely attentive! The ambiance was relaxing and elegant. The food was phenomenal and I wish I could have this restaurant near me so that I could try everything on the menu.

This was our 3rd trip to George's in the past few months. The food is always outstanding. The Ferarri-Carano cabernet is the best. We usually visit on Saturday night, but our last visit was a Tuesday and to our surprise it was half price bottle night. If there is a better Lasagna in Miami, I've yet to find it. This last visit I tried the Salmon and it was excellent. It is carmelized and the sweet taste did not overpower the taste of the fish.The service is always great. Give this place a try.

I get poisoned by eating carpaccio di salmon. Immediately after eating, start to fell bad today. My face swelled up and red bumps started appearing on my skin. The server just say sorry !!! I'm not saying it was his mistake, he just served, however supervisors or managers can provide a better control and quality for product offered.
