Restaurant Details
Georgia's is a cute little family-run joint with a lengthy menu of tasty Greek standards. The octopus, served in a white wine sauce, is outstanding. Also: breakfasts—like Greek omelets with Greek-style hash browns, pita if you like, and homemade quince jam—that people rave about.
Georgia's is this terrific greek restaurant up in Greenwood that I took my friends to for gluttony and bellydancing, but when we got there the bellydancers were done for the night! Some of my friends had never had Greek food. Some had never seen belly dancing. I was so disappointed I must have looked like a toddler that had been kicked!
Anyway, the bellydancers could tell how sad I was regardless of the tremendous food and waitstaff. So they put their hip scarves back on over their street clothes and had a superamazing bellydance-off for us! They did it for at least an hour and totally got into it. And they didnt harrass me too much for not joining in (I was wearing combat boots). Then after the restaurant shut down, they sat down with us and shared a bottle of champagne (their treat). I cant gurantee that theyd always do THAT! Our faces were aching from smiling, our stomachs massive with divine food and needless to say the boys in the group left with er, tented pants ; )
So ultimately my point is, if youre looking for damn good Greek food, entertainment and have a fat wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket - check out Georgias on a Friday or Saturday! Apparently theyre having some sort of Greek festival there tomorrow if youre looking for ways to forget Easter.
Just giving props where they are due....

Finally stopped in for breakfast. The spinach scramble I had was fresh, generous and tasty. The potatoes were amazing--lemony and crispy brown on the edges. I've had the stuffed grape leaves accompanied by soft, warm pita and tzatziki--a perfect lunch I am craving even now. The atmosphere is great--this reminds me of places I grew up eating in, a true family run business.

I was dragged to Georgia's once when I wasn't even in the mood for Greek food, but they won me over. I've been there numerous times since. The plates are full and the prices are more than reasonable, so bring your appetite! Who goes to a Greek restaurant and orders the chicken anyway?
The food goes way beyond your typical gyros joint. I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about because everything I have ever had here is fantastic. Plus if you go on a Sat night there is live music and all the elderly greek regulars dance between the tables. Buy a cheep bottle of Greek Wine Order in stages and hang out for a couple of hours, It's that kind of place.
In my experience, the worst roasted chicken in the world is right here. I didn't think anyone could mess up roasted chicken except maybe my mom, but Georgia's pretty has this mess down. Think me pedestrian to rag on chicken? Perhaps, but if you can't roast a bird, maybe you should stop coasting on the regulars?
