GJ Tavern

The only thing better than the brownie is the hospitality. Love this place, the food and the cocktails can’t be beat.

Overall an okay experience. Restaurant took over the old coffee spot, the decor and ambience are really nice. The service was average for the level of restaurant. Food was good but nothing extraordinary, or at least to the level we are all used to in CS restaurants. The space is too small or there are too many tables. Whatever it is, the ratio is off. If you are seated in the 'tables' across from the bar, you will see and witness a nonstop parade of waiters and servers. It's also the hallway to the restroom which adds more people to the endless runway. Keep an eye on your drinks, someone almost elbowed ours while trying to avoid a collision. If GJT is aiming to be the new drinks/cocktail destination downtown, there's room for improvement. The beer selection is extremely limited and missing some iconic cocktails from Georgia James that we were looking forward to enjoying again.

Fantastic experience. Drinks were wonderful. My wife loved the oysters. The baked chicken was moist and full of wonderful flavor. Staff service was excellent as well. Recommendations were spot on. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you need to.
