    We enjoyed the food that we ordered. It appeared to take a long time to get our food. It was challenging to serve the food onto our plates because no spoons or extra utensils were provided. The kitchen seemed very busy, although the restaurant was relatively empty. Perhaps the kitchen was busy filling take out orders.

    Brought a friend visiting from out of town to dine at Georgia Brown's. I had eaten there before and enjoyed the food in years past and this time was no different. We both had the deliciously seasoned roast chicken and enjoyed!! Thank you!

    The St Regis afternoon tea is an exquisite experience for special occasion, maybe a business meeting, date night or even a birthday present to yourself, as it was for me. The service is top-notch. You’re first given a plate of savory foods, and then a carousel of sweet foods. You have a menu for what you can choose for a blend of tea or even champagne. The atmosphere is very quiet, refined and elegant. The seats are comfortable and one could easily linger in them for a time after. Perhaps the only one thing to notice that the restroom is quite far away, down a spiral staircase
