I'm rarely blown away by service, food, quality, food, taste, beverage, service, and ease of seating. However, Georgia Sea Grill was the most seamless dining experience. I've had in a long time and all of the food was delicious. Our server was friendly, attentive, and entertaining without being over the top. I will definitely come back here every time I visit Saint Simons. For reference, I got the crab soup and the scallops both of both of which were delicious! read more

Charming location in an older house in downtown St. Simons. And the food--delectable! And Sea Grill is the correct name for the variety of seafood choices--all of the freshest that Georgia's sea coast offers. And the evening out is completed with the excellent, attentive service. read more

TOP NOTCH! We've eaten here before during happy hour, but wanted to enjoy a full dinner tonight. We started during happy hour with some great priced $4 wines and a couple $6 appetizers. We tried the smoked fish dip and the macaroni and cheese casserole. Both were very good. My wife ordered the scallops on corn risotto and I ordered the fillet on blue cheese mashed potatoes with brussels sprouts and wine reduction. Both dinners were outstanding. The scallops were cooked perfectly, and the steak was nicely crusted and cooked perfectly rare as I like. My first bite was hot, which I appreciated. Many times when the steak arrives at the table at some restaurants is not very hot. Perfect meal tonight. Our bartender server was very nice and great service. Definitely one of the best places to dine on SSI. read more

Had a fantastic dinner at Georgia Sea Grill. Calloway was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She not only kept up with all of our shenanigans but gave it right back, which made the experience even more fun. Attentive, personable, and just a great vibe all around. We started with peach martinis (highly recommend) along with the fried okra, crab soup, wedge salad, and beet salad. Everything was fresh and full of flavor--great way to kick off the meal. For the main course we tried the flounder prepared a few different ways--one fried, one pan-seared, and one bronzed--and each one was fantastic. And then two orders of scallops which were incredibly buttery and cooked perfectly. We wrapped it all up with a slice of Georgia pecan pie that was the perfect sweet ending. Great food, great service, and a really fun night. We'll definitely be back. read more

LANDON!! She is what made our experience top notch. She was friendly and knowledgeable. It was like having a meal in your favorite aunts kitchen. If you go, please request her. We started with the crab soup and beet salad. Both were fresh and delicious. We got the half dozen oysters which were briny and sweet. My husband had the flounder special and I ordered the bacon poached salmon. Delightful. For dessert we had the chocolate coconut pie and I had the Italian coffee. That coffee? More amaretto than java--yum!! It was a great meal sprinkled with the charm of an excellent server. read more

Ok by far the best seafood meal we have had since we moved here in November. The service was excellent and our waitress was a hoot. In fact I'm going to ask for her when we return for our anniversary end of the month. She was fantastic super knowledgeable about the entire menu. Tasty and delicious. Fish was cooked to perfection so was my wife's. She had the red snapper blackened I had the redfish. The atmosphere was very nice almost elegant but not stuffy. Highly recommended read more

The fried shrimp was delicious. It came with garlic Cole slaw which was yummy as well. The shrimp and grits were awesome as well. The taso ham added a nice touch. The Brussel sprouts could be best described as blah. The service was awkward. The waitress would only look at one person at a time. There are two sides of the restaurant all of the locals seem to go to the piano side. Definitely worth a try but not sure if I'll be back. read more

Fantastic food and service. I sat at the bar and Katie took excellent care of me. The crab soup was some of the best I've had since I left Southern Maryland many years ago, and Southern Maryland is *known* for cream of crab soup. This was right up there! I had the Redfish special and it was also excellent. My first visit and I will most certainly be back - highly recommended! read more

Georgia Sea Grill - Redfish with Orzo and Microgreens. - Seafood Near Me - St. Simons Island, Georgia

Food was great and service even better! The restaurant is nicely appointed and low key. Our server, I believe her name is Landon, is exceptional. She knows every dish they prepare and explained anything we asked. Absolutely a delight. We had the fried pimento cheese with a Tabasco sauce- so very good and crab stuffed hush puppies. The hush puppies are served on a jalapeño sauce that is top notch. Loved it! For our entrees, husband had triple tail pan roasted with Fingerling Potatoes, Andouille Sausage, Sweet Peppers, Corn, Cipollini Onions, Wilted Kale, Roasted Garlic Aioli. I had swordfish bronzed served with Hoppin' John, Tomato Cream, Pickled Okra. Everything was fresh and prepared well. Go! read more

Celebrated our anniversary. Landon was our waitress, she was amazing and truly made our dinner celebration perfect. Our meal was delicious and her recommendations were spot on. We will definitely be back ! read more

Service was good, quiet surroundings, but just can't deal with lukewarm soup and entree.

Wonderful dinner spot. Great food, perfect atmosphere, and a must go. You'll be lucky to have April as your waitress! Put it on your list !

We've been to the Georgia Sea Grill several times before and consider it the best restaurant on the island. We went this evening for a special occasion and it didn't disappoint. Landan, our server, was great. The crab soup (bisque) was outstanding. The salads were good. There are three choices for fish preparation and about five types of fish-all fresh. We went for triple tail, cajun style. It was fresh and excellent. Finally, fresh peach pie for dessert. My wife thought it could have had more peaches, but it was tasty nonetheless. The ambiance is sort of casual, but not too casual, just right. We had wine with dinner although there are cool specialty cocktails available. Our special occasion was indeed very special. read more

Wow! There's a reason why this has been voted at the top of restaurants in the area. They open at 5 and there was the usual line of people waiting to grab a seat in one of the two bar areas. We chose the non-piano side and enjoyed the atmosphere. Our wait staff was Emma and she was so friendly and professional. GSG has a fab happy hour with drink specials and app specials. We had almost one of everything and were happy with all. The Georgia wild shrimp corn dogs were perfectly breaded and fried and come with a great dipping sauce and coleslaw. We tried the fried okra with a chive aioli-lightly breaded and nicely crunchy. The plate of beef carpaccio was beautiful and delish! It was served with capers, baguette slices and a perfect soft boiled egg. The pimiento cheese is like a hush puppy but filled with the cheese on top of a thin Tabasco sauce. So good! The highlight for all of us was the wasabi ahi tuna. It was so tender and tasty as well as the stir fried cabbage. We enjoyed their southern manhattan drink and the house red wine. This place is a long time staple of St. Simon's Island and I absolutely def recommend! read more

Amazing dinner! This place was lively even on a Monday, but we were seated promptly--reservations seem to be a must. We started with the escargot, which was fantastic. My only complaint? I could have easily eaten two orders! For the main course, I had the bacon-poached salmon, and it was truly one of the best salmon dishes I've ever had--phenomenal. My partner had the crab cakes, which were equally fantastic. A special shout-out to April, our friendly and funny server, who made the experience even better. Truly one of our best nights out in a long time! read more

Superb meal in an elegant atmosphere. Loved the piano -- it added ambience without being obtrusive. Our waiter was charming and attentive.

Great meal and service! Reed (our server) was absolutely fantastic - outgoing, friendly, and on top of everything!

Georgia Sea Grill came highly recommended from multiple sources and DID NOT disappoint! From the service to the amazingly well prepared and presented plates to the ambiance, it was the best meal we had while visiting St Simon's Island! I'd 100% go back again and it was a fair price for the quality food and sized portions. So delicious, we might have forgotten to take pictures of dessert! read more

Our server was so great. She spent extra time explaining the menu for us. We had four in our party and tried redfish, sea trout and mussels. They had a specially prepared rice that had a blue tint to it that was divine! The blackened redfish was amazing! For dessert we sampled the chocolate coconut pie and carrot cake - both very good. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and we were very comfortable. We seem to be visiting St Simon's more frequently lately - and we will add this to our "must visit" stops while here! read more

Wonderful dinner! 1st visit here our serve was excellent & made great recommendations. They had a Holiday sangria that was tasty. Our calamari app was so good. For entrees we had scallops-huge seared scallops with collards & field rice peas! Delicious....Grilled redfish & grilled flounder. Desserts tried were pecan pie & a satsuma cheesecake! Highly talented chef & such a warm environment. Don't miss this place for dinner! read more

Came here on a Tuesday night and it was the only restaurant that was bustling. Went to check in for a table and the wait was 40 mins. Since the restaurant came highly recommended and the house was packed, figured we'd wait to be seated. I had the shrimp and grits. Was delicious but warning, if you don't eat meat, it comes with. When the plate was delivered, I'd mentioned to my server and she took care of it promptly even enhancing it for a non-meat version of the dish. It was pretty good. Would recommend. I think of the restaurants on St. Simon's, this is definitely a standout. read more

The whole evening was wonderful!!! Started out with cocktails made perfectly. Then supper was delicious. Our waitress was excellent and attentive. The restaurant could in a big city with a wonderful cocktail bar/dining vibe. Very trendy! It was a while ago, can't remember what food we had but loved all our dishes!!! read more

We are locals, and there are so many great food options here. But this place sets the bar so high! The food and service are always flawless. We never miss an opportunity to eat here, and are NEVER disappointed. We always get the appetizers, and the fried pimento cheese is my husband's favorite. For me, their fried shrimp is the BEST. read more

Enjoyed a decadent dinner at Georgia Sea Grill. LOVED the Cajun spiced preparation, fresh catch fish. We enjoyed Triple Tail and Swordfish at our table. The fish was cooked perfectly, great flaky texture and mild sweet taste. Stunning presentation!!! The Charleston gold blue crab rice with ginger, carrots, green onion, & citrus soy aioli perfectly complimented the Cajun seasonings. The aioli was especially amazing! I wanted more! Utterly delectable! They served complimentary rolls before hand that were ok. We tried the crispy calamari with parmesan-pecan dust and Cajun aioli appetizer. It was one of the best versions of calamari I've ever had. Very unique. The aioli was out of this world, spicy and full of seasonings. Would highly recommend! Just delicious. We also tried the crab stuffed hushpuppies. Supposedly the most popular appetizer, but we weren't impressed. Made with crab, jalapeño, corn, & pickle chive aioli, which sounds amazing, but the fried dough took over most of those flavors. Our waiter was great and the atmosphere is cozy. We were disappointed we couldn't order the shrimp corndogs from the first call menu, I guess it's only offered at the bar. Overall a lovely evening and the main dish Cajun style prepared fresh catch fish was the star of the night, simply divine! (Also note you need a reservation and parking can be tricky!) read more

We came here for a wedding reception and they had the back room reserved. The menu was a set menu but what we had was delicious! The hush puppies were great. We also had the citrus chicken and it was a huge piece of chicken. It was so tender and flavorful. The chocolate cheesecake was amazing. I am disappointed that I was too full and couldn't enjoy the whole thing. The staff were very attentive and helpful and didn't miss anything. The parking is a little difficult. It does not accommodate all of the guests in that area. Some of us had to drive around and find parking. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

GA Sea Grill is a favorite. Last night though, the service and "Chef's Special" were terrible. Why? They were also hosting what appeared to be a prom party. Next time we call for reservation we'll be sure to ask if they're hosting a party and steer clear if they are. read more

We went after not being able to get into the Porch and it was a good decision. The fried pimento cheese was the highlight, really enjoyable drizzled in an almost balsamic hot sauce. I then had one of the fish specials, triple head, prepared golden style (with hoppin john). My only recommendation is they hand out a list of the fish specials, it was information overload when she read us the options. The fish was fresh and nicely prepared, I am not a huge hoppin john fan and was only mildly impressed with it. I was a little disappointed in the Brussels sprouts, not as crispy as I would have liked and the bleu cheese preparation seemed lost in the flavor or the Brussels. Definitely go back, if nothing else for the pimento cheese and fresh fish. read more

We went here to celebrate my 40th birthday. We came early for our reservation and were able to go to happy hour. The bartender was phenomenal and made sure that our drinks were exactly how we wanted them. I had a Southern Manhattan (not on the happy hour menu). I kid you not, this was knock my socks off good. I will forever be looking to replicate this drink for my thanksgiving dinner. For our meal, I started with the fried pimiento cheese, a wedge salad, and the ravioli (I am not a fish person.) Hubs had the crab soup and Cajun redfish. He claims it is the best meal he has ever had. I was only slightly insulted. The rolls and bourbon pecan butter were the stuff dreams are made of. They also brought me a card and a dessert for my birthday. Pecan pie was great. The live piano was a wonderful accent to top off a perfect evening. Overall 10/10. Highly recommend when you're in SSI to make Georgia Sea Grill a high priority. read more

The worst service I've ever received in my life. Went to this restaurant with high expectations. Left with absolutely zero respect for the staff and establishment. Showed up at 7:46pm on Thursday. Sat at the bar, requested 2 glasses of wine. The bartender left with the request. Returned 10 minutes later and told us they were no longer serving customers. When we asked why she simply replied with the restaurant across the street will serve us. We went to Mallory street cafe and had a fantastic experience. Thank you Georgia sea grill for saving us the time and trouble. read more

Bar staff great conversation while waiting for friends, all items everyone order was truly amazing, while it was a celebration for a friend, we never felt rushed by staff, always attentive without hovering, as we travelled from JEKYLL , the only comparison I would advise, is the lack of handicapped parking in the square is truly bad, only one for the restaurant itself, arrive early to drop your guests, you'll need the extra 20 minutes. I'm probably jaded by the amount of handicap parking available on JEKYLL! read more

I want to give this place 5 stars and my wife would but what stops me is the inconsistency of the food. Don't get me wrong the food is at times great and then you might go and you say to yourself what was that? Same dish I ate two weeks ago and a completely different plating and different taste. So if you haven't gone here before, then definitely try it, make a reservation or you just might not get in. read more

Celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary and our experience at Georgia Sea Grill was on point! Our server Ryan was excellent, food was excellent & beverages & ambiance were excellent as well. Reminds me of the throw back restaurants with a bar from the 60's & 70's when I was a kid and went to dinner with my folks. I had the baked crab cakes & my wife had the bacon poached salmon and we split the she crab soup & calamari. Again, all items were on point. Thank you for making our celebration one to remember! read more

The service was amazing! Our waitress, London, was so personable and attentive. The atmosphere was perfect for an intimate date night. I wasn't as impressed with the food as I thought I would be, but I think I just didn't order the right thing. Their crab stew is award winning so I decided to give it a try and it had a little bit of a sweet taste that I wasn't crazy about. read more

This long-established St. Simon's restaurant, often considered the best seafood spot on the island, has a comfortable (not glitzy) feel, service is efficient and nearly all of the dishes we tried were excellent. We settled in and felt like we would enjoy the meal and the evening. Most of our party of six had a starter and a main course, typically grilled fish such as triple tail or crab cakes or catfish, and nobody complained. I had three appetizers for my meal - fried calamari, oysters on the half shell and snails. The calamari must have been from a giant squid, because the pieces were very large. It was okay. The oysters were small but tasty. And the escargot in a garlic butter sauce with puff pastry top was excellent My cold Beefeater martini was top-notch. I think it was $12. The key lime tart we all tasted for dessert was fantastic. Our dinner for six with a couple of drinks, a bottle of cider and a glass of wine, was $317, before tip. Not cheap, but this was probably the best seafood we had in St. Simons. read more

A LOCAL TREASURE - Whenever I eat at Georgia Sea Grill I am amazed by the variety and creativity in the seasonal flavors. High quality experience! Thank you GSG for the delicious dinner our company had recently. Can't wait to come back. read more

My partner and I had dinner here while visiting Jekyll Island for several nights. The food, including crab-stuffed hush puppies and fried green tomatoes, was excellent. My salmon was seared and a liiittle too underdone for me, but, because our server, Linda, was so lovely, I didn't have the heart to send it back. It was my birthday and some of the staff left a signed card for me. The atmosphere was casually refined. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Georgia Sea Grill. read more

The moment we walked in with our kiddos, the hostess kind of glared at them. I caught her looking and she tried to fake smile but I felt like the sentiment is that kids aren't welcome. The server was great, though! The food - escargots were too garlicky in my opinion. Calamari was.. different. Super thick therefore chewy. Steak dish and wedge salad were great! Swordfish special was bland according to my husband. Pecan pie crust was thick and undercooked. Raspberry sorbet was refreshing and delish. read more

Great food. The service is amazing. Landon is terrific. Ambience stellar. Landon was so nibe!

WOW... here on a mini vacation, looking for a steak house, this place was the third place listed, decided to give it a try and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! Ambience was so amazing, the service was more than exceptional, Landon was hands down the best, most amazing and informational, funny, sweet, server we have ever had the pleasure to help us!! She has the most amazing suggestions of which we order ALL OF THEM!! Calamari truly mouth watering, their world, famous crab soup was just heaven in a cup! I'm not sure I can even do the bacon poached salmon dish justice with a description!!! If we make it back we will for sure have a meal (or 2) here again!!! read more
