    The bone marrow was excellent! Unfortunately, we filled up on that and the focaccia before our pasta came. The Bolognese and pesto were both excellent and went home with us. Our server Reo was great! We ended with the sticky toffee which was unbelievable.

    A wonderful evening all around. The food was amazing. The service was spectacular, and even though my date and I arrived at different locations, the owner was gracious and held the table for me because I was 30 minutes late.

    The food, especially the salads, was very good. The service was terrific. It was very nosy bar the bar sheets we were seated. The 22%gratuity that was added to the bill was a surprise. My biggest disappointment was the priciness of the food. It was markedly overpriced for what it was. It world have been better to serve less and charge less.

    I highly recommend Georgie's. It's a stone's throw from the theatre district, cute and quaint, not crowded at all and has a cool ambiance. They have a great happy hour menu and very unique cocktails that are scrumptious. Great service as well.
