3 /5 Sacred Heart: I have mixed feelings about Mrs. Georgia. It’s great for the neighborhood, and I’m happy it is there. The service was stellar — attentive but never obtrusive. As other reviewers have noted, the prices are high for the quality and volume of the food. Equal to or higher than the prices at Georgian restaurants I have been to in Manhattan. The food is good, but not so good that the prices are justified. Note: Georgian wine is as good as any in the world.
Food good, service great. But I doubt I’ll go back. Maybe I was there on a bad night, but an employee so messed with the otherwise pleasant ambience of the place that by the end of the meal, I couldn’t wait to escape. To me, it’s just irritating as hell when somebody in a restaurant is making noise with their telephone. Maybe they feel the need to subject everyone in the restaurant to their conversation. Maybe they want to watch a TV show. Maybe they want to listen to THEIR music, so they decide everyone else is going to listen to it too. Maybe they want to use it to make the kids shut up. Whatever, it just seems totally inappropriate and disruptive.
At Mrs. Georgia, a woman who appeared to be an employee, maybe even a proprietor, was doing exactly that, and everyone in the restaurant could hear it. HAD to hear it, whether we wanted to or not. The restaurant had music on, but she was conversing on the (speaker!) phone and playing HER music in competition with the restaurant music, which was kind of nice music. By the end of the meal, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. It really makes me appreciate those few restaurants that limit phone usage in the dining area. Mrs. Georgia is NOT one of those restaurants.
But if you’re more tolerant than I am, give it a try.
