    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?

    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? No Would I Return? No Food Taste- 7/10 Ambiance - 8/10 Service - 10/10 Value- 5/10

    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.

    Great location, beautiful restaurant. This is a great restaurant for a date night as it has romantic low light with the fine dining touch. The food was amazing, we tried a little of everything. Drinks were decent. Service was stellar.

    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.

    We've had several great date night visits here and food and service have been on point. The sea bass is one of my favorites and my husband said the filet was great. If you love sweet treats the cheesecake is divine. Highly suggest trying this spot for dinner!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great Sunday happy hour at the bar and overall nice atmosphere. Great value for the portions and steak exceeded my expectations. Service was okay.

    I had made a reservation for 2 for 6:00pm on a Friday. My friend and I dressed quite nice, especially as it was pouring down rain. But we were seated in the "room of shame." Along with the guy in shorts & a t-shirt, the ladies with too many tattoos showing. Right by the bathroom. You know the room they shove customers they don't want the fancy people to see. Wtaf Food was good, waiter was nice. But I probably won't go back.

    Ask the Community - Georgia James

    How many ounces are the steaks listed on the menu?

    They were all decent sized steaks - I believe 8 oz or more. It's fine dining and the waiters are more than happy to answer any questions. My husband and I got the porterhouse steak and that was 20 oz if I remember correctly.

    Do they have vegetarian options?

    Georgia James does have vegetarian options.

    Any option for outdoor heated seating?

    Yes. They now have a rooftop area.

    Do you have to make a reservation?

    I believe so they are always booked

    How much is the baller board?

    It varies because they just charge you per item they put on there. So it really just depends on the mood of the chef. We had the most expensive things on the menu on there, probably ended up around $500

I'm not even a steak person -- I usually order chicken -- but I actually ate a good amount and really enjoyed it. We ordered the sweet potato soufflé, mac & cheese, and corn.

From the moment we walked in, they were welcoming and friendly, the server patiently explained their highlights and recommendations. It's clear the restaurant is very intentional about their food choices. The manager even wrote a personalized birthday card for me and gave us a follow up call the next day to check in on our experience which was very kind of them. In regards to the food, it was delicious but we didn't find it exceptional enough to justify the high price point. The meal started off with complimentary bread service that you could choose with sea salt or garlic parmesan topping. The bread was so fluffy, warm, and comforting. We ordered the Braised Pork Belly, which was surprisingly tender and juicy, and the sauce complimented it very well. We ordered the regular size bone-in KC Strip to share. It was a huge portion and they give you extremely hot plates so that the steak stays warm and sizzly on your plate once you eat it. We were pretty impressed by how juicy and tender it was. The corn creme brulee and Boursin cheese whipped potatoes we had as sides were great complements to the dish. At the end of our meal, they treated us with a complimentary Cookies and Cream Popcorn Sundae which was super unique and really delicious. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you're willing to ball out and celebrate for a special night.

The mood is set with a soundtrack of classic hits playing in the background, and let's not forget about that bathroom, it's wild!

I was greeted warmly from the second I stepped in the door! While I waited for my party to arrive I sat at their bar area and ordered a Pineapple Mule served with a smile. Right off the bat I connected with James , one of the waitstaff who also happened to be serving our table. He was so the BEST! Hands down the most awesome waitstaff I've ever met. He made our time there special. I felt like I've known him for years, and he knew just how to connect with each person in our group! We all fell in love with him instantly! Tonight (likely due to the Valentine's Day crowd) the meal was pre-set for every guest. This meal included bread, salad, and Collette steak in their special sauce, with fries. There were dessert options as well, from which I chose a key lime pie. And an assortment of after dinner coffees. What blew my mind was that they came around and offered more food to us after finishing our first entree plate! I wasn't expecting that, and was pleasantly surprised. Parking for this location sits right behind the restaurant, a parking garage that is free. Because of the number of shops and restaurants around (an especially since this was Valentines weekend) parking can be at a premium during certain points of the day, so think about that when coming. There is also street parking available too. Seating for Medium Rare is offered both inside and outside (patio). The price average for this place is moderate, and folks can dress up or down. It is a beautiful place for a girls night out, date night, celebrations, brunch, etc! I had a wonderful time here! An amazing experience for sure. P.S. they give you Bazooka gum at the end of your meal! That brought back good memories for sure! This was my first time coming, and it won't be my last. This place is definitely worth checking out!

They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.
