My wife and I love visiting the Georgia. Last night we came in for a late reservation (945) and we found it to be very loud because other parties were being obnoxiously loud, my wife and I couldn’t hear eachother across from one another. Just a surprise from the normal experience we have in the lounge. We will still come back.

The soba noodle salad was fantastic. Everything else was really good, but nothing that was remarkable. Good cocktails as well. The service was outstanding though. Attention to detail, friendliness, ability to make recommendations, and thoughtful without being in our space too much.
