Customer Review Summary

Georgia James offers an exceptional dining experience with impeccable service and an upscale ambiance. Many reviews highlight the attentive, knowledgeable staff and the welcoming atmosphere. The food receives praise for being flavorful and beautifully presented, particularly the steak and seafood dishes. However, there are notable complaints regarding certain dishes being undercooked, leading to disappointment. While the desserts are generally good, they lack the same wow factor as the main courses.

The reviews suggest it's a great place for special occasions, although some customers faced issues with reservations and menu errors. Overall, Georgia James is recommended for upscale dining, but experiences may vary.

Exceptional Dining Experience – From Service to Food! Georgia James exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The ambiance was upscale yet inviting, making for a perfect dining experience. Now, the food—absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether it was the perfectly seared steak, the rich and flavorful sides, or the decadent dessert, everything was top-notch. If you’re looking for an unforgettable meal in Houston, Georgia James is the place to go. We can’t wait to return!

We went to Georgia James in Valentine’s. We really enjoy to eat there. The customer service was excellent with Ivan, He was very polite and attentive. The place is very elegant and comfortable. The food was delicious, we ordered a ribeye, wagyuu steak, some special potatoes and onion soup, all the food taste on point, the drinks were really good. I ordered a drink non-alcoholic and they created one special for me. The desserts were good, not so spectacular, but they were good and fresh. The prices are expensive, but it is worth the investment if you want to eat really good! We would definitely go again. I loved that place.

TL;DR: Staff and building-Great! Food- Alright to Ugh. This was the first time my fiancee and I decided to go to a high-end restaurant for Valentine's Day and also our first visit here. We saved up to come here and were excited to go but unfortunately, we will not be returning. We ordered off the Valentine’s Day Menu. The collective dishes we had were the Lobster Bisque and Foie Gras Terrine for App. We both tried to have the White and green Beef Wellington and then we both switched to the Chilean Seabass for the mains. Ended with Pistachio & Chocolate Mousse and the Frozen Nougat. The Good: The restaurant space was quite beautiful! the lighting was perfect and the live piano player was excellent. The ambience was great. The perfect feel for a date night. Our server(Berennice? (On receipt)) was nice, accommodating and made us feel welcomed. She was also knowledgeable and never made us felt like we were just another customer passing through. Staff was very quick to address our complaints about our wellingtons and our new mains arrived on the fly. They comp’d my fiancee’s martini(which was an ok resolution but i don’t feel like it was enough). The Mid: Our table was a little wobbly but we never said anything because it didn’t bother us that much. I'm sure they would have fixed that if we told the staff but we didn’t noticed till later on. Also the meal as a whole was pretty good overall but not fantastic. The Bad: Both of our beef wellingtons were raw and cold in the middle which was such a letdown because that was the dish we were the most exited to try and actually wanted. We both never had one before and our first experience was so disappointing and fearing getting a new wellington would have the same result, we settled for the Chilean Seabass which was fine. Overall thoughts: My fiancee and I are just some regular people with regular jobs trying to have a really nice date to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The restaurant staff did try to rectify the situation but first impressions are everything and I felt that I should have been compensated more then just a drink. And perhaps their B&B is their normal menu but all items should have the same level of quality regardless. Also maybe this feels like a harsh critique but if you’re asking for a high cost for the food then I would hope it would get to the table with a higher quality standard. I don’t know the etiquette of what I can do as a customer to get a more satisfactory outcome because this was the first time I ever had to send food back to the kitchen but I didn’t wanna fight too hard due to my fiancee and I just trying to have a good Valentine’s Day. Thank you for reading.

Such a nice, quiet and intimate space. I have no complaints on the customer service. But I will say, I’m not usually a big fan of shrimp cocktail, however, the flavor and size of shrimp was very delightful. I indulged in some oysters as well and the presentationnnnnn was super cute and the viet-cajun butter *chefs kiss* made them even more tasty and palatable than expected. I definitely recommend for date night, girls night or a intimate cocktail night with some friends or colleagues🥂

I dined here to celebrate a friends birthday on 2/10. We ordered the baller board, wine, and desserts. The service and food was very satisfactory. The only reason I’m docking an extra star is because I recently received an $85 parking ticket in the mail from the attached garage that used to be free and now no longer is, and does not have visible signage to notify customers. Hopefully the staff does a better job at notifying patrons of this change and/or offering to validate

Great steakhouse. A bit pricier than others, but you get the full fine dining treatment - so overall fair value. Beef carpaccio tasted great. And the filet mignon was cooked perfectly (mine was medium rare). The service was super attentive! The atmosphere is very appropriate - luxury, white cloth experience.

This was our first and last time at this restaurant unfortunately. We came for the Valentine’s Day dinner special that was sent to my email twice dating February 13-16. This was the entire reason we came. Our server was great, but we were extremely disappointed to hear when we went to order that they made a mistake with the dates on the menu and the special menu didn’t start until the following night. All we were told was that he spoke to the manager about it, but we were not compensated in any way. For a mistake like this at this nice and expensive of a restaurant, we expected better. The food was good but nothing amazing, and for the price, it was underwhelming. The best thing about the whole experience and essentially what kept us there was the guy singing and playing the piano, he was incredible. Disappointed to say the least

This was our first time here- and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint! We came to celebrate our anniversary. The service was on point, the pianist was jamming and the food was delicious. We will definitely be repeat customers!
