The space has an industrial-chic feel with both indoor and outdoor seating. Since I was dining solo, I grabbed a seat at the bar. Service was friendly and attentive, and the bartender highlighted their bottomless mimosa special which I happily took advantage of. To balance things out, I ordered the BLTA sandwich, which was simple yet delicious. The menu was reasonably priced and refreshingly straightforward which I appreciated. I could easily see myself coming back the next time I'm in Georgetown to check out their happy hour or dinner options.

The tall windows…read morespanning half of the walls brings in all the magical natural light and makes the actually decent sized space feel giant and open. My husband and I are already interested after one visit in checking out pricing for possibly renting out the space for an event of our own. The bathrooms are gender neutral BUT when you go in there the different stall doors have only one label, guys or gals, on the door which is very confusing to people entering the bathroom or waiting for stalls and thinking maybe the guys labeled stall only has a urinal or something but they're all the same toilet. It has a very classy, purposefully dated look but was extremely cleaned and well maintained. They also have free guest Wi-Fi. The cocktails are a little pricey for the area, but the venue space and the quality of the drinks were well worth the price. They actually have a quite expansive menu of drink options as well. Definitely needs more seating options for the drink window area if they plan on having more open hours days for people to randomly come in and enjoy a specially crafted drink. I can't wait to see what this place turns into!

The environment inside the restaurant was warm and welcoming. There was a stand outside Georgie's restaurant taking drink orders to go. Other than downtown Austin, I was not aware where you could drink adult beverages outside a restaurant or bar. We ordered a crab cake, Georgie's margarita and a frozen margarita. The drinks were refreshing after being in the sun for a bit. The crab cake was good but could have used a little less mayonnaise. Our server, while quite busy, managed to stay attentive to our requests. Great food and drinks...

We started with the George Margarita and the specialty spritzer with gin, both were tasty and not too sweet. In addition to the ceviche, oysters and crab claws. No oyster options, they had Texas east coast farmed which were ok, not too large or small with a sweetness. The ceviche was missing something so I added salt and that did the trick but the accompanying chips were . They had no flavor and a stale consistency ‍ maybe that was the intent. The crab claws were a little fishy and had way too much broth but overall weren't bad, maybe 3/5. For entrees I decided to go smash burger and fried shrimp/oyster basket. Smash burger was well prepared, I swapped fries with broccolini. The fried seafood was a miss. The batter was similar to an unseasoned tempura and the hush puppies were very doughy, that dish is a pass. I'd return but will stick with appetizers or the burger but if I'm craving seafood there definitely are better options even if that means going outside of Georgetown.

That hint of chocolate bitterness sneaking in like it has secrets it's not ready to share. Strong, confident, and completely unbothered -- the kind of drink that doesn't raise its voice because it doesn't have to. No unnecessary frills. No overcomplicated theatrics. Just a perfectly crafted cocktail that respects tradition but adds a little dark, sultry wink. It lingers just long enough to make you lean in for another sip. 10/10. Grumpy never tasted so good -- and I wouldn't mind getting into trouble with it again. The bar itself? Classy without being stuffy. The kind of place where you can show up dressed up or dressed down and still feel like you belong. Dim lighting, great vibe, zero pretension. I'll absolutely be back, service was stellar. No food items this time, but definitely will be back!

I asked if the cooking temperature was correct and the waiter confirmed it was not. They took it back to the kitchen, butterflied it and recooked it. It was fine but less effort than should be provided. The manager never came by to ask any questions or discuss the three issues. $134 and a very poor effort.

The food was genuinely excellent, and the service was warm and attentive throughout. The bed was also a standout -- more comfortable than what I've experienced at most four-star hotels. I also loved the in-room Nespresso machine, which was a great touch. The only drawbacks are the location and setting. It's not ideal if you want to be close to a more metropolitan, walkable area, and being right on the creek means there can be quite a few bugs, especially in the evening. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a relaxing, stylish getaway with great food and very comfortable rooms.
