Georgie was the third restaurant for Stephan Courseau in Dallas opening in 2019 as a partnership with celebrity chef Curtis Stone and a mostly steakhouse theme.  It was known for high prices and low creativity.  Enter a change when Stone parted ways and Courseau brought in RJ Yoakum as Executive Chef in January 2023 after three and a half years at the French Laundry in CA.  Creativity now abounds and I can’t remember being as excited about a Dallas restaurant since we found the now closed Cry Wolf restaurant.  We totally enjoyed a really exquisite dinner last night with service and style reminiscent of a Michelin starred place.  Music was in the background for diners seated at double white cloth covered tables on an array of plush velvet couches matched with chairs.  A coved ceiling was lined with absorptive material that made conversation possible at your table.   A valet is out front but you can park yourself for free at a large lot underneath the building.  They offer a seasonal  a la carte menu but also a tasting menu with optional wine pairings.  With advance notice Chef Yoakum will vary the tasting but we didn’t  give that notice thinking we would have what was offered.  As it sometimes happens Frankie or I are recognized and so Chef put our tasting on steroids and just wow, this man has what it takes.  We often got different dishes so we could try more but with the lower lights and fast descriptions the photos and I won’t be able to do the food justice.  You’ll have to trust me that everything that came to our table was amazing and I don’t say that lightly.  This was an exquisite meal with a flavor profile off the charts.  I may have to stay in town so I can get there again soon hope you will too!
