    Had a fantastic dinner at this restaurant. Best dinner I've had in DC. Allison was my server, and she is a gem. My wife has Celiac, and she went above and beyond to accommodate her allergy. Will be back when I'm in town again.

    I was on business travel longing for a wholesome like home cooked meal. Georgia Brown's didn't disappoint. The calamari appetizer was fabulous with a grest dipping sauce and a nice, not too bold, spicy kick. The jerk chicken cobb salad was just wonderful. And the Malbec worked perfectly with everything. Highly recommended for food. The only thing that impacts a five star rating would be value. Food prices I expect higher in this area of DC. But I prefer to set my tip, not have 22% added to the tab, then rounding up because I pay cash but you don't have coins in your bank. Many places discount for cash now.

    Food was good the Valentine’s Day menu was limited so I would like to try something else. Drink were strong so if you get 2 or 3 make sure you have an uber. Victor our waiter was perfect, he made sure we got exactly what we wanted and gave great drink suggestions. I’ll definitely be back and ask to be in his section
