    This place ALWAYS exceeds my expectations in food, ambiance, and service! Once I met the manager, Jennifer, I understood why. From the personal welcome, to her attention to detail, she makes you feel like you've walked into an establishment that appreciates it's patrons . I'm new to California and the area so it meant so much to receive such a pleasant experience. She is the reason that I now visit this location at least twice a week. Any meeting or visitor coming into town, this is where I take them first!! I can ALWAYS count on Jennifer and her team to provide excellent service. BIG THANKS to Jennifer for your genuine, accommodating spirit and for passing that down to your staff. I was there last night and will be back later this week! If you haven't experienced this place, RUN, don't walk. You won't regret it! TEN STARS!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    We have been to Georgia’s many times over the past few years. It never disappoints. The service is always wonderful and the bartenders are amazing. This is the only bar in the South Bay (besides Hey 19 which the pandemic took away from us), that we truly enjoy. It looks posh inside but is more a laid back atmosphere. Every table outside has a fire pit - sit here to have a relaxed drink with friends or family. Inside is dark, moody and sexy. Definitely more date vibes. There are no bad drinks here. Every drink on their rotating menus has been amazing. Enjoy!
