The Heart of Georgie
Georgie’s chic interior blends retro sophistication with modern comfort. Bright carrot-orange banquettes and 1970s-inspired design create a space that is both striking and inviting. “It’s definitely a place where you want to treat yourself,” Yoakum says. “It’s special but not overly stuffy—a space where you can celebrate or just enjoy a great meal.”
At Georgie, the menu is a testament to Yoakum’s global influences and dedication to quality ingredients. Signature dishes like crispy potato “churros” with caramelized onion dip and caviar reflect his philosophy of blending nostalgia with refined technique. “I try to give diners a sense of nostalgia,” Yoakum explains. “It’s about recreating memories while using the best ingredients available.”
Sourcing locally in Texas, Yoakum has adapted to the state’s unique challenges. “It’s not like California,” he notes. “You have to manipulate and play with food a lot more here, but that’s one of my strengths.” This commitment to local farmers and ranchers has helped shape Georgie’s identity as a restaurant deeply rooted in its region.
The wine list is thoughtfully curated to pair with the restaurant’s dynamic menu, offering selections from French Bordeaux to vibrant California vintages. Combined with a service philosophy that balances warmth and professionalism, Georgie delivers an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming.
Since Yoakum’s arrival, Georgie has received critical acclaim, including a coveted five-star review from Texas Monthly. “This restaurant has become a meeting place,” Yoakum reflects. “It’s where people from all over come together to create something special.”
