Let me start by saying my girlfriend and I used to come here often and always had great experiences. We recently moved back to Houston after two years and were excited to return, especially because we remembered the wedge salad being one of our favorites. If I recall correctly, it used to feature fresh dill, house-made blue cheese dressing, and homemade croutons. Unfortunately, this visit was very different. The wedge came out with candied pecans and pickled onions, no dill, subpar dressing, and lettuce that did not taste fresh. Personally, I would never pair pickled onions and candied pecans on a wedge, but I will take responsibility for not reading the description carefully and assuming those elements wouldn't be included. The description also mentioned pork belly bites, which were not included. The steak tartare was also disappointing. We both genuinely love steak tartare, but this was clumpy, poorly textured, and not what we expected -- especially for a tableside presentation at that price point. Because of this, we didn't feel confident ordering the ribeye or any additional sides we had planned on getting. For two wedge salads and a steak tartare, our bill was already at $100 -- before the additional $26 for parking. For that price point, the quality simply did not align with expectations. We left disappointed and still hungry, which is never how you want to feel after dining out. read more

Great service and food, but quite pricey. Despite the price, I still had a fantastic time at Georgia James. The interior is classy and the staff is well trained. My boyfriend made a reservation here for our anniversary, made a note of it in the reservation, and the staff confirmed that we were celebrating an anniversary upon arrival. I love it when restaurants actually read notes attached to reservations. It doesn't take that much effort, but it makes a world of a difference for the customer experience. We were seated in the corner of a room which we appreciated for a quieter/slightly more private dining experience. Our server was attentive and helped point out some menu highlights. We started off with a small, complimentary bread basket. Great, herby butter and soft bread. We got the pork belly for our appetizer and it was wonderful - there's a crust on it and the flavors are rich and tangy. We split the 14oz ribeye which was a good move because we didn't even finish it. Between the steak and the sides, and with how rich everything is, we still had an entire portion left. The steak came out perfectly cooked to medium rare, tender, and with that signature crust on it again. Brussels were pretty straightforward/predictable, but still good. I was a bit underwhelmed by the truffle mac n cheese. I think ultimately it was a bit lacking in truffle flavor, but it was very cheesy which I appreciated. Georgia James celebrated us by gifting us a slice of chocolate raspberry cake - delicious! Rich, smooth, and not too sweet. Either valet or park in the paid parking garage (Georgia James validates up to 2 hours via a QR code in their restaurant) read more

It's a massive development they occupy in a quickly expanding area of river oaks. The space is very elegant and feels like you would expect for a more contemporary American steakhouse. Service was cordial and present. Not over the top or chatty, and helped make suggestions. I tend to look for table service that elevates an experience when spending big at a steakhouse though. The food here was just all over the place unfortunately. The appetizers were part of the meal that feel flat for me. The Viet Cajun oysters were served shucked and submerged in butter. So much so that when I took a bite my body reacted in surprise, I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but they were overly salted/seasoned is my feel. The Korean pork belly was just plain over cooked, a textural nightmare as the meat was a couple of seconds away from jerky. If that was the point or not I can't say, but usually pork belly dishes are fatty and melty when you eat it. We had a bang bang shrimp type dish that was a par for the course experience, the fried cauliflower paired with it was a bit more interesting the the shrimp in my opinion. For the meal proper, we order a suggested Tomahawk cooked medium rare (+) with some potatoes. The potatoes were excellent, tossed in a bright and herby green sauce, we enjoyed those a lot. The steak took quite a while to get to us. We came for a Friday lunch service that wasn't quite halfway full, and after the initial rush of lunch goers had gotten their food by the time we ordered. The time we ended up waiting felt too long by half and the steak wasn't cooked to order by the time they were cutting it in front of us. It makes me wonder if it took so long, why wasn't it cooked more thoroughly. It came out perhaps a touch above rare, it was definitely an issue for the others at our table. We didn't send back since we had waited longer than necessary at that point, and the whole flambé show prior would have made it feel silly. My feeling is that under different circumstances, maybe at dinner or with a different approach ordering it would've been much better, but for my visit this is what I feel. I'd like to give it a try again, but at with the competition being what it is, is it worth the money again? read more

This is pretty standard affair as far as nice trendy steakhouses go. Great ambiance, great service, overpriced food. On company dime for a client, this could be a fun spot. But there are we too many better options if you are spending your own in Houston I really cannot complain about anything here, but the price is elevated for the location/trend, and there just isn't a standout menu to go out of my way for Would I Go Out of My Way to Try?

Well, this is a very beautiful, romantic and classy restaurant. Great for business luncheons or for romantic date night. This was a weird experience. Would be 5 stars for the food but I don't know WHAT was going on with today but the bartender and waiter were VERY OFF!! ONE STAR DEDUCTION: So I do NOT drink it's against my religion and I literally ordered a VIRGIN mojito. Guess what I got a liquor filled mojito that I had to spit out and ask to be remade SECOND STAR DEDUCTION: I ordered a SHRIMP Caesar salad and was brought a CHICKEN Caesar salad. THIRD STAR DEDUCTION: I ordered the FRIED BRUSSELS and received vacation broccolini. UGH! Very frustrating. Crab fingers The bone marrow Brussels once I got them Mac & cheese Were all pretty good. But overall the meal was just bothersome waiting on them to replace everything. The kicker is there was only ONE other table being served because my reservation was at 12pm when they first open. Love this place though I hope they get it right next time. $200 Bill and a complete wreck of the meal is not what's expected. Definitely was looking for higher standards for lunch at an empty, not busy time or just ever. read more

Georgia James is a lovely steakhouse that I will probably never revisit. If you're looking for the best steak in Houston, this place does not have it. What they do have is some incredible non-steak dishes, highly attentive staff, and a sleek yet cozy ambience. Let's break down my order: The Viet Cajun Roasted Oysters (5/5): If you're a Houston native, you will just "get it". The oysters are served piping hot, swimming in little vats of garlicky Viet Cajun butter. The sauce was so good, I asked our server to box it up to go. Caesar Salad (2/5): Realistically, a good Caesar is not hard to achieve. The romaine was cut a bit small and not all that fresh or crisp. The dressing tasted like it came from a bottle. The croutons were small and difficult to pick up with a fork. I only gave an extra star because they topped the Caesar with a couple marinated anchovies, which are much more tender and fresh compared to the traditional salt-cured version. Ribeye (3/5): My steak came out with whole garlic and thyme on top, almost as if Gordon Ramsey had butter basted it himself. Initially, the smell gave me an incredible high. But the intoxication quickly faded after I took the first bite. The steak was nothing special. Technically, everything was correct -- decent crust, warm pink center, properly cooked. But it lacked a "wow" factor. The steak smelled exponentially better than it tasted. Pappas and Steak 48 have Georgia James beat by a mile. Smashed & Fried New Potatoes (1/5): First off, calling them "smashed" is a stretch. My potatoes were all completely in tact, dare I say, whole. Lightly pressed potatoes might be a better description. And never in my wildest dreams did I think the potatoes would come out in a mildly sweet sauce. I could only stomach one potato. Brown butter mushrooms (0/5): They're sliced white button mushrooms sautéed in butter and thyme and barely any seasoning... even a novice cook could make a better mushroom side dish. Charging $17 for this mediocre side should be a crime. Want an incredible brown butter mushroom dish? Run to Kira and try their Maitaki hand roll. Blackened Scallops (5/5): Incredible seafood dish. The scallops were perfectly executed, and the creamy Cajun orzo sent me into a frenzy. Honey Goat Cheese Panna Cotta (5/5): This dessert blew me away. The panna cotta was creamy and light, and I could definitely taste the honey and goat cheese. The red wine poached pear gave the perfect contrast of tartness. I will dream of this dessert for a long time. If you told me that Georgia James was a seafood-forward restaurant with steak options, I'd have given them 5 stars. Unfortunately, they are a steakhouse -- one priced comparably to some of Houston's best. Their steak can't compete with the likes of Pappas or Steak 48. So while I'm glad I tried them, I must add Georgia James to my one-and-done list. read more

Looking for a steakhouse with an intimate, relaxing setting? Maybe for a date night, anniversary, birthday, or just a treat-yo-self kind of night then look no further. Located in Houston's newer Regent Square area near River Oaks. For parking, valet is available and there is also a parking garage nearby. Garage parking is paid online, scan the QR codes located on some of the stone pillars and fill out the info. As soon as you walk into Georgia James you'll immediately notice its modern-sleek decor. To start the evening off I ordered a Gin Martin. I went with their signature GJ Martini #1. I typically go for a regular extra dirty martini but this had a different spin. It had Citrus flavored gin, Blanc vermouth, Quin quina Blanc, and bitters. The drink tasted great, just a little too sweet for my liking since traditional martinis are not sweet at all. For dinner we weren't terribly hungry so we skipped the sharables and went straight to the main course. I ordered the filet mignon, cooked medium with Béarnaise sauce. The filet was cooked to my liking (don't be fooled by the photo, I know it looks charred lol) and the Béarnaise sauce was exactly what I wanted. Also ordered a side of sautéed broccolini that was seasoned perfectly, not too salty or peppery. To end the evening I ordered a dessert cocktail. I already had it in mind to see if they could make me a Brandy Alexander, many places either do not know how to make one or do not have all the ingredients needed for it. To my surprise the Brandy Alexander was on their dessert cocktail list. It was very light, not too sweet, and creamy. BIG WIN! Our server was great throughout the evening as well. Very attentive. Looking forward to my next visit here. read more

This review reflects the new location of Georgia James; parking is only available in the paid garage, not a great start. The new area adjacent to River Oaks is very upscale and clean, which is a plus. Unfortunately, the execution and quality of the food took a slight nosedive from a few years ago in their old spot. The Caesar salad was a bit forgettable; 3.5/5. Their gulf oysters were straight up not good; very salty and engulfed in a butter bath, 1/5. The hearth roasted pork belly was a bit burnt and tough, 2/5. We split an off the menu tomahawk for our table; the cook was requested as a medium rare plus and came out just south of rare. I found it a bit inedible due to how raw the cook was. Not a fan, and not a good cook of a nice cut. Overall, this wasn't the top notch spot that I visited a few years back; or everybody else caught up and eclipsed this in terms of cook and execution. read more

Arrived here for a dinner date. The place wasn't crowded but we decided to sit outside because it's a nice day. For starters I ordered the East Coast oysters which were so fresh and delicious! The espresso martinis were delicious as well. Our server was a young girl. I forgot her name, but she was very attentive. For dinner, we ordered a New York strip to be split Brussel sprouts and the truffle mac & cheese. That typically always order a fillet so the New York trip wasn't really that good to me. I don't like a lot of fat on my steak, but it was good nonetheless than the presentation was excellent now onto the sides. I absolutely loved the brussels sprouts they were so delicious. I wanted to run into the back and ask the chef what his recipe was and the mac & cheese was delicious as well. I was so full that we had to have doggy bags. I would definitely come here again. The ambience is great. The food is immaculate and the service is excellent. read more

Georgia James - East coast oysters - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

I found this place to be standard for a steakhouse. The service is at the level you would expect for the price point, professional and accommodating. For appetizers we had the Caesar salad, which was ok but I couldn't taste or see the boquerones that they indicated were there. That was disappointing because I always hope that steakhouses will serve a "real Caesar salad" which must have fish. But they're probably catering to the masses who don't tend to prefer this. We also had the popcorn shrimp and we did like that quite a bit. FYI the shrimp are not crispy, moreso saucy. As for the entrees, I don't really eat steak so unfortunately I cannot comment on that, but my husband indicated that he enjoyed his. I ordered the king crab legs, which had a lot of good seasoning and quite tasty, but I'm not sure it was worth the $110 market price for 1/2 pound. Especially since I can get similar for much less at a crawfish spot. That's my fault for not asking what the MKT price was though. lol. We had the Brussel spouts (just ok) and the smashed and fried potatoes (better than ok) for sides. I did find the drink menu to be impressive as they had a nice variety of cocktail offerings with different spirits. I had the New Fangled and the Texas Derby. Of the two I preferred the Texas Derby. My husband had the Tallow Old Fashioned. He was both disappointed and relieved that he couldn't taste the tallow. lol. read more

Georgia James definitely at the higher price point of Houston restaurants, but the food lives up to the hype. I cannot stress enough, how amazing the Viet Cajun oysters are. I would keep coming back just to eat these. Our steak was so delicious. It was cooked perfectly and we love the table side service. I also feel like the steaks are a fair price for the quality of the meat. However, I do feel like some of the sides here overpriced. The mac & cheese was Really creamy and very good, but a bit underseasoned. A little white pepper would have enhanced it. Overall, I absolutely love this restaurant and my next step will be trying it for happy hour. read more

Came here for Houston restaurant weeks and tried the dinner menu, honestly everything was very average. First impression we ordered cocktails, my friend ordered a pornstar martini, it is supposed to come with a small shot of sparkling wine on the side and the bartender made it with a side of espresso??? Very odd and the same drinks we ordered were so inconsistent with each round. For my entree I got the lobster ravioli, it was an up charge of $5 and it was the most unseasoned dish I've ever had. Absolutely no flavor to it at all. I tried my friends steak and their steak was good. Restaurant is nice inside just like any other steakhouse. read more

Georgia James - Desert - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

Upon first glance, it's easy to fall in love with a place like Georgia James. A high end steakhouse with a gorgeous interior, it is a symbol of the premium demands of the neighborhood and the ultimate date night spot. I've enjoyed the food here over several visits and have generally enjoyed my experiences. The interior is sophisticated and modern with the kind of vibe dining feels that has become synonymous with the Houston dining scene. The layout of is somewhat unique and the lighting fixtures and contemporary furniture pieces make this place an aesthetic gem alone. The venue itself is deceivingly large, complete with a second floor area that has semi-doubled as a roof / outdoor dining destination. It is an impressive space to say the least. Unlike the usual vibe dining spots, the food does match the ambiance with with a menu of indulgence. The excellent presentation and variety really make this more of a upscale American establishment than a pure steakhouse. Meat quality was top notch in my experience and I did enjoy their perfectly cooked and well seasoned wagyu steaks, The ribeye was nice and fatty with lots of juices emanating from the medium rare meat. For serious carnivores, I would recommend the big baller board, which is an off-menu item of which is a group sharing platter of chef-selected meats. (#1) A lot of the appetizers have been a tinge underwhelming and I don't love the current selection of the bone marrow, gulf oysters in Viet-Cajun butter, the pork belly, or the popcorn shrimp. For sub-$30 dishes they rank very low on the appeal totem pole. I still miss the chicken liver pate and pork rillette. Some of the raw bar items such as their marinated carb fingers and smoked redfish dip gets a thumbs up. Big spenders can go for the seafood tower, which really is a mecca of food porn. Service has been a bit of a mix of good and bad. The quips I've gotten for asking questions about the constantly evolving menu and courteous welcomes upon arrival is sometimes a head scratcher. It can be best summed up as professional 'tude. I recommend reservations for dinner, but walk-ins are best reserved for the bar and roof setup upstairs. While there were rumblings of a sale this summer, I do hope that whichever hospitality group assumes ownership will keep (and improve) the existing concept in place. ___________ (#1) Sort of like an omakase, but for red meat. read more

I came here for a birthday dinner and unfortunately left very disappointed. For the price point, the food and overall experience didn't match the ambiance. I kept the reservation since it was for my boyfriend's birthday, but the menu itself didn't offer much that stood out. My boyfriend ordered the salmon with asparagus, and I had the short ribs with polenta and Brussels sprouts. The salmon was plain and the asparagus tasted watered down. My short ribs were fatty and lacking in flavor, though I will say the Brussels sprouts were good. To top it off, my server accidentally threw away my leftovers instead of boxing them. She did try to make it right by letting me order another side to go, and I received the lobster mac & cheese. While it was fine, it didn't make up for the overall disappointing experience. Overall, I wouldn't come back. There are plenty of steakhouses that deliver a much better dining experience for the same or even lower price. read more

We had the baked brie, I had a Caesar salad which was one of the best I've had in a while, and I had the filet while my husband had the ribeye. The cook was perfect and I added a lobster tail to mine as well. Our sides of the truffle mac and cheese and the sautéed asparagus really set the tone and we even had THREE desserts!

The service was great. A pet pee e of mine is sitting with an empty glass for long periods of time. We never had to worry about this. The drinks were good. My fiancee enjoyed the el mercado. I had an old fashioned as usual which was pretty good. The only knock is, it said tallow old fashioned, but it didn't taste any different than a normal old fashioned from wherever. However, not necessarily anything to bring down a star rating. The braised beef ravioli was good, the pork belly was good, fried chicken was solid, but the rissoto was the star of the show. I would go back for that. The side were good too. The smashed potatoes were super good. The restaurant has a nice chill vibe.

Found a new favorite. We had a late 10pm reservation so it felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves. It was a beautiful place with nice low lighting. Good for a romantic dinner (especially when you go late and have the place to yourself). We were first greeted with an open door and a smile. We sat and our server Bernice welcomed us in for our first time and told my husband happy birthday. She walked us through the menu with thorough explanations. I will be requesting her next visit. We chose two of her recommendations for apps. Cajun baked oysters and wagyu carpaccio. Just be careful eating the oysters. They are temperature HOT and we did get a tiny piece of shell. It's hard to pick out with everything in the sauce. But they tasted good. Next time I would order the carpaccio "deconstructed" so I could choose what to put on each bite I really wanted to try it by itself. It was melt in your mouth goodness. Drinks were very good and so was the bread and butter. Just don't get too full! Dinner was absolutely delicious! I have never eaten such delicate, melt in your mouth delicious salmon! I highly recommend it. Also my husband's wagyu strip steak topped with seared foie gras. Best sear and cooked to perfection. Medium rare! One of the best steaks I've tried out in a while. The loaded au gratin potatoes are YUMMY!! Great with the steak. I didn't get the asparagus but should have as the lemony creamy sauce with the fish would have paired so well! Last, the chocolate cake with caramel she brought out for his birthday was rich and delicious. I had to order a coffee drink to pair with it. They make a good carajillo! Overall an excellent place in our sea of great restaurants! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. The ambiance was cozy, nice, and the service was so wonderfully attentive and warm. The menu was explained well. Our server said they didn't have flounder on the HRW menu so it was substituted with a drum like fish equivalent. The manager stopped by to explain that they had a wine pairing with the HRW menu. We were served sourdough from three man bakery and a warm seasoned beef tallow - interesting take. I opted for the smoked redfish dip, flounder with fried okra and chocolate cake. I've never seen a smoked redfish dip before, it was so good. Slightly smokey paired well with the saltine crackers. We ran out if cracker so I tried it with the complimentary sour dough bread, still good. My friend had the slab salad, delicious. The creamy dressing, bacon bits, blue cheese, wonderful. My fish was wonderfully cooked. The rice grits were creamy and I loved the texture contrast with the crispy fried okra. The cake was divine. It was moist and not too sweet. The coffee ice cream paired so well! All in all I will return, the service was great, food was impeccable. read more

Unseen at this restaurant You aren't important enough to eat here. Go to Steak48, Vic and Anthony's, Brennen's instead ....GJ should be embarrassed. We had a hot shrimp app. There were several apologies about how long it took to arrive to the table. But we didn't notice or care. It was delicious. Immediately finishing the shrimp our main dishes arrived. My steak was cold. So cold the garlic butter didn't begin to melt. (I have pictures.) I mentioned it and they heated it for me. Sort of. Sides were okay. Their steakhouse helper was good. Au gratin potatoes good. And grilled corn was also good. But all sides were cold. It was weird. We've never had an experience like this. (We were charged for one item that we didn't receive but when the bill arrived, at that point, we didn't care. We were already thoroughly insulted by the service. Or lack of. Drinks were amazing. Service. It's the most bizarre thing we've ever experienced at any business. We aren't important people. I'm an attorney (pros sex offenders of minors) and hubby is an ED physician. To be properly served, apparently you have to be a famous artist or football player. Or let them know you're important. Bc we were ignored bc those were 2 neighboring tables. Twice, I asked the server for small things. Both times, the important people interrupted and the server gave attention to them, instead and immediately their requests were met. While our requests were delayed. We weren't as important. As I was leaving, I returned a blanket the hostess let me use bc it was chilly in the restaurant and the table next to us asked for it. They told us they also had to return cold food. They weren't famous or important either. It was weird. We've never experienced or witnessed anything like it. We are very unassuming and low key. Don't be like us to get good service here. Announce that you are important. Dimitri and Jesus were BEYOND kind. And great service. read more

Georgia James lives up to the hype! We've been meaning to try this place for years, but finally used HRW as our excuse to make it over here. Attentive service and a beautiful restaurant, we'd come back for another special occasion for sure. For HRW dinner 2023, we tried everything, but my favorites were their smoked redfish dip, comeback slathered chicken breast, and chocolate cake. What surprised us the most though was their bread service. What we thought was just a candle to set the mood, was actually a dish of warm wagyu beef tallow to dip their homemade sourdough bread in. Perfection. The redfish dip was super fresh and lemony tasting with just the right amount of smoke. While I expected the hangar steak to be the best entree, the comeback slathered chicken breast was TASTY! That sauce was so addicting, you could put it on anything and it'd taste great. Last, but not least the chocolate cake. Super rich, moist, and tons of chocolate flavor. 10/10 would recommend Georgia James! What put Georgia James over the top for me though was their bartender. I forget his name, but he made a perfect "Last Word" cocktail. I was looking for something gin based and refreshing. He said say less, whipped out the green Chartreuse (which I can't find anywhere to buy for my home bar bc it's sold out), and executed a perfect prohibition era cocktail. The luxardo cherry was literally the cherry on top of this HRW dinner, enjoy! read more

Another great HRW dining experience with good food and excellent service. The hostesses and our server were super nice and very attentive. If you haven't caught on to me yet, I'm taking advantage of all the pricey restaurants for HRW and places I've never tried before. I ordered the Heat Wave cocktail (I love a good strong and fruity drink). We also got a bottle of Riesling for the table. They brought out some sour dough bread and a "dip". It looked like melted butter at first with a candle in middle but it's actually a melted (animal) fat. So that was interesting. For starters I had the smoked redfish dip with crackers. And oh my, I could eat a whole tub of that dip! That might be the best dip spread I've ever had. For entree I went with the Flounder Courtbouillon. I know you're going to ask why I didn't get a steak at a steak house? I didn't want to pay an upcharge to order it off the HRW menu and the fish description sounded good. The fish had a good crust and I liked the sauce on top. The rice grits do have a different texture, similar to polenta. I ordered a side of Brussels and the glaze on those was yummy! For dessert I tried the banana pudding. Now normally I'm not a huge banana pudding fan but the vanilla rum cake caught my eye. I was disappointed that it was a very thin layer of the cake and you could not taste the rum. I definitely wanted more of the rum cake than the pudding. We came to celebrate my recent engagement with friends and the staff made sure we had a good dining experience. read more
