Georgian restaurant ★4.0 (180)·$30–50

937 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10022, USA

4.0
I've never been to Georgia before, but I wanted to try a completely different kind of food than what I have access to in Mexico City. It was the best option I could have. The food is spectacular, the atmosphere captivates you, and the attentiveness of the entire staff invites you to visit Georgia. If you don't know what to order, follow the more traditional recommendations so you can appreciate the special flavor. Measure your portions so you have the opportunity to try some of their more traditional desserts—they're a true delight. And if you're a wine lover and enjoy new options, the Georgian wine has been a true revelation. I will return to this restaurant, but most importantly, I will visit Georgia very soon. - Melissa Vargas
