What a pleasant surprise, and certainly not what I expected…read more As someone who doesn't want to eat at restaurants much these days, this experience was a bit of a game changer and reminded me of how a restaurant can offer something special. First the server: Devon was great. Attentive, in control of the group table, attentive throughout the evening and just made everything better. Even special requests were handled well, with a smile and getting them right. The menu is eclectic and interesting. From farro island salmon to elk to the (huge) duck breast I had for dinner. While Sandra had the elk chops that may have been a bit over done, when you consider you have to serve a large number of folks their individual choices at the same time I can cut some slack on that one. All in all, a winner in a beach town where quite honestly I didn't expect a restaurant of this quality, breadth and service. Well worth a visit!

This is where you splurge!…read more Elegant dining rooms, variety of seating for intimacy or parties, exceptional menu. I had the seafood pot pie, an excellent choice in St. Simons, which is surrounded by water. And the pie was delicious. If the service had been a little better, I would have given this restaurant a five. But, they were short-staffed and training additional servers. And they forgot to place our friend's entree order, or they gave it to someone else. She loved her crab salad appetizer , but had to do with a bite from our entrees. But, don't forego this restaurant because they had one bad night. Food is delicious!

Georgia Sea Grill is a fantastic, high end restaurant, but planning ahead is definitely required…read more We went on a Monday night around 6:00 PM and it was already packed. We ended up waiting about 30 to 40 minutes before getting seated at a table in the bar area. Despite the wait, the food and service were exceptional. We started with the Togarashi Crusted Tuna, which was a great opening dish. For our main courses, we ordered the scallops and the fresh catch tripletail prepared with the pan roasted treatment. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We finished the meal with the caramel cake for dessert, and it was absolutely delicious. Our waitress mentioned that they have an in house pastry chef, which really shows in the quality of the dessert. It was a wonderful dining experience overall. I would definitely return, but I will make sure to get a reservation next time.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! Been searching for a decent brunch in…read morethe area and my wife suggested Woodside. My experience is that many places just don't deliver the quality expected and I'm often disappointed. I'll have to say, Woodside delivered! This place is clearly elevated, elegant, and the food is prepared with culinary skill. From the moment we stepped inside, I could tell the atmosphere was classy and quaint. We were greeted by our server Buddy and the bartender. My instincts were that this was going to be good. I was still cautious. Buddy seated us appropriately and brought us menus and filtered water. We both started with coffee and to my surprise Buddy brought a large urn of French press coffee, whole cream and sugar cubes, I absolutely love French Press coffee but rarely see it. I make it at home but on occasion see it offered in a restaurant. Definitely a step above. We looked at the brunch menu and found it hard to decide as there were so many interesting selections that I wanted to try. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict and I ordered the Croque Madame. As I deliberated, Buddy suggested that I'd stick with my first impression and that I would not be disappointed. I thought it was very classy the way he presented that and it makes sense that sometimes one should go with their first instinct, rather than wonder if they made the right choice later. Again, there were just so many things I wanted to try. When our meals came out, we were both pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste. This was not ordinary breakfast, but I had a good price point for what you get. It was really about the same cost as most breakfast places on the island, but such higher quality and sophistication. I can honestly say this was the best brunch experience I've had in many years and we've frequent a lot of places. The Croque was so tasty, complex and abundant and even the french fries were excellent. My wife's Benedict was also very special as it was rich, fresh, and absolutely clear it was prepared by a chef. The Latkas were a tasty complement. Overall, this was an outstanding experience and I just didn't want to leave. I can't wait to return for dinner to experience it. I believe the menu changes daily and I would definitely recommend Woodside as an elevated dining experience. I am happy to rate this a true 5.0 as it is the best food I've had in the Brunswick/SSI area over the past 6 months. Buddy was great and clearly understands service etiquette. Thanks so much for helping us enjoy a truly nice experience.

The view is amazing, too bad the service and the food are terrible. The fried okra appetizer was made with pickled okra. Different strokes for different folks and all but really one of the most disgusting things I have ever eaten. After two hours and many conversations with the our server and "the pastry chef/manager" our entrees never came so we paid our bill and left. Historically this place has never been very good. We went in because of recent advertising they had new management and chef. Still not good. Great view, just don't come hungry or thirsty.

Also, I love that you are seated in a little sun room off the main dining room. We had dinner here as well and it was very good. They have a well-priced, pre-fixe menu for $49 and you can add wine pairings for a total of $69. Really great deal. If you choose to order wines separately, they are also very reasonable. Our server was great and we enjoyed our meal.

Christmas Buffet? No thank you!…read more We had reservations for Christmas Brunch at the Grand Dining Room. It wasn't what we had anticipated. First of all, seating was slow. We had reservations for a small party of three. They were not prepared to seat us at the reservation time. About fifteen minutes later, I asked how much longer we should expect. They told me they would check and get back to me. They never did. Only after I re-approached the hostess' desk, did they look into it and FINALLY find us a table. Despite a reservation for the "Grand Dining Room," many people were seated in small, nondescript rooms on the periphery of the Grand Dining Room... kind of like how children are banished to side rooms/tables for meals at family gatherings. Not exactly the atmosphere people are expecting... or paying for. The food was also a disappointment. When we made the reservation and paid the more than $100/person (even for pre-schoolers) we anticipated a nice, multi-course meal, not a largely self-serve buffet with mediocre cuisine. It reminded me of a Golden Coral. Actually... at least Golden Coral has sneeze guards! I never understood why "upscale" places like this allow people to serve themselves. People using their hands to serve themselves while also eating with their hands in line and at their table... it's pretty gross. Why not hire a few additional staff members to SERVE guests to make sure things are at least sanitary. Bottom line, I wouldn't dine here. The cost was excessive, especially considering the realities of the service and experience they're providing.
