Georgia James Steak

To be honest, Georgia James was a really fun experience and made a birthday celebration extremely memorable. We got the baller board and for six people it was so much food. The service was impeccable. Every bite was crazy good. You might think the fried chicken would be overshadowed by the other items, but honestly it too was able to claim its well deserved spot on the board.

We enjoyed a nice Christmas Eve dinner here and overall had a great time. The waiter was a little rude and kept suggesting certain items would be too much food for us/that we should share etc. But the overall staff really carried the service. Managers made sure we had drink refills quickly. The bussers were polite and kept the table clean and other servers did well refilling our waters. The ambiance was absolutely gorgeous. It’s a nice space with beautiful design and plenty of windows. Very romantic. The wine selection has both breadth and depth. I ordered a Napa valley Cabernet that was wonderful. My husband opted for Four Roses small batch on the rocks. We started with the seafood tower and it was spectacular! We especially loved the tuna tartar and smoked redfish dip. The east coast oysters were perfection. The gulf coast oysters were farm raised and didn’t have much flavor. Definitely opt for east coast. We then shared the slab salad. It was good the dressing was fresh. For our main course, I ordered the Japanese A5 wagyu (6oz) medium rare. There is a 4oz minimum to this. They brought it out before cooking it with a certificate of authenticity for you to keep. It was the best piece of steak I have ever had. So tender and juicy it melted like butter in my mouth. It also had a really nice crisp of seasoning on the outside. My husband ordered the long bone ribeye (which the waiter suggested we share, my husband doesn’t really share and finished the entire thing 😅) it was also a great cut, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The indulgent steak all steak lovers are looking for. We both added garlic butter, and definitely recommend it. For sides we ordered the smashed and fried new potatoes and the brown butter roasted mushrooms. The sides did not stack up to the rest of the meal and we barely touched them. The potatoes didn’t seem smashed at all and were over fried. The mushrooms were tender but were overpowered with the taste of soy sauce. We looked over the dessert menu and nothing called to us so we opted out but the waiter did bring us the pineapple vacherin. It was really tasty so I am glad he brought it. Overall we had a really great time. Every course was perfectly timed from drinks to the main courses. Would have loved to give 5 stars to this Houston institution but maybe next time we will try some different sides and have a different waiter. Lastly, they do add a 3% credit card fee if you pay with a card.

Unseen at this restaurant 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. Go to Steak48, Vic and Anthony’s, Brennen’s ….GJ should be embarrassed.

We recently dined at Georgia James on Christmas Eve and overall had a pleasant experience. The standout was the impressive seafood tower, although I’d suggest opting for East Coast oysters entirely instead of the split between them and Gulf Coast. The long bone rib eye and Japanese A5 wagyu were exceptional, but the sides—mushrooms and potatoes—fell short of expectations. The service was a mixed bag; the supporting staff excelled, but our primary server displayed a poor attitude throughout the evening. Despite this, the overall cost for two, just under 1k, felt reasonable for the quality of food and the occasion. Georgia James proved to be a fitting choice for our Christmas Eve celebration.

AMAZING. The service was impeccable to start. We went for HRW so we started off with appetizers. The redfish salad is to die for and so is the slab salad. The bacon sausage and hash browns were amazing. Then the steaks were perfectly seasoned. Oh and the brussel sprouts were crispy and great. The cajun vinaigrette made them amazing. We got all 3 desserts to try. The pineapple sorbet was the perfect refreshment and the chocolate cake was sweet without a toothache. The banana pudding was good and i dont even like banana pudding.

Came here for my birthday back in October 2023 and it was quite disappointing. First of all, the ambience was quite casual. Maybe it's all the windows or the way the lights were on, for dinner, but I didn't get the high-end steakhouse vibe.. but hey that's OK for me as long as the service and food is good- this isn't a dealbreaker. we ordered steak obv and both of our steaks were meh. for my steak it was quite chewy and salty. my boyfriend steak came out wrong so we had to wait for another. his was also overly seasoned. the shrimp appetizer was prob the highlight of this dinner, that one was delicious! the service was dry. i didn't get the bubbly happy vibe from both host and the server, altho the server was at least friendly. and when booking the reservation i specifically said it's my bday. i dont want to sound entitled but when you celebrate a birthday or an event at a high-end restaurant you'd get those happy bday desserts and i guess it was odd that it didnt happen. overall this was def not the way i wanted my bday to be, we spent a little over 200 and left with a non-satisfactory evening.
