George’s easily holds a top spot on my favorite list. The atmosphere is perfect. The little details make each dining experience fun because I’ve noticed something new each time. The Dyptique Baies candle… make the beautiful restrooms smell magical. Mascarpone cheesecake is to die for. Meatballs are fabulous. Alfredo should not taste this good Honestly you can’t go wrong with any of it.
Ashtyn M always greets us at the door and takes extremely good care of us, we her.

We have tried this place out twice since there was such a big hype. Honestly I don’t see it. They’d like you to think they’re always booked up because they’re so good. The truth is there just isn’t a lot a seating so it seems like they’re always full.

We have tried both the speakeasy and the dining area. Both times the seating arrangements have been awful. The table in the speakeasy was tiny but that’s fine. The real problem is the chair they give you. I’m an average size guy and couldn’t really fit comfortably.

We then tried the dining room and got stuck at a table in the squished corner. The waiter could barely squeeze by the table next to us to help us. The other table was also so close we couldn’t hear ourselves over their conversation.

The drinks we ordered were OK but it’s hard to find a place that can make a good drink in little rock. They are fairly priced though.

The food both times have been very average. We ordered the shrimp and fries appitizer and the meatballs. The shrimp was average and the fries were pretty good. The star of the night was the meatballs by far. Very good very cheesy.

The short rib bolognese tasted like chef boyardee. The fettuccine alfredo was very lack luster, nothing you can’t make with a can of store bought alfredo sauce.

The desert options are very slim and just did not hit the spot.

All of this said we have never had bad service. The staff is very professional and attentive. I really wish the food was something I couldn’t compare to olive garden but here we are.

For the price you’ll pay for this place there are plenty of other resturaunts around town that are much better.

This was suppose to be an ordinary night of good dining. My expectations for this place surpassed anything I thought. My little party of 3 meet in their secret room which was filled with such a chill ambience. The speakeasy room was filled with light laughter and chatter in a dime lighting experience this was a dining room experience to remember.
I was taken by our first entree’ which was an appetizer called “The Blue Crab Carbonara” which was filled with flavor and succulent garlic butter bottom. Then we finished with our separate entrees which we all tried one of and none of the entrees failed us at all.
This dining experience was awesome and I have already been back for some to go meals. This restaurant is the perfect hideaway and the service was wonderful. I do thank the staff for showing us top tier service. You can make reservations for the front only. The speakeasy is FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!! So please don’t be disappointed if you can’t get back there. This place overall gets my vote for one of the top Italian restaurants in the city.

Great ambiance. My wife had bees before and raved on the food. The focasia was spectacular. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with red sauce. The sauce was thin and tasted such; the spaghetti was slightly under done, but not ‘crunchy’. Meatballs included some anise (I’m not a fan) in the mix, but not overwhelming. My wife ordered pasta Alfredo. It wasn’t al dente but close enough to it… Bland. Service was satisfactory, waitress very pleasant. (we ate in the speakeasy-menu same as the restaurant.

First of all I want to say thank you so much to our waitress Rose she was amazing and she is amazing at her job, we enjoy being in her section, she know the menu, what is best in this restaurant and give good recommendations. Second, the food, quality, service, and all is AMAZING! Go with an empty stomach because you going to eat a lot and will get full. There nothing wrong with the menu and restaurant 10/10 next time I visit Little Rock, Rose better be there, and I’m coming back.
PD: Make a reservation.

First time at this establishment. I was excited to eat here for date night. My wife and I researched fine dining in Little Rock and landed on George’s. Upon entry, confirmed reservation and we were greeted and seated. The room where we were seated…Flies! Literally flies in the window right next to our table. Just a little context. I do not like eating around any bugs at all. Especially if I’m paying. Inform the first person I saw which was a secret cleaning the table who informed me that”this are always has flies.” Nice… So, I can’t enjoy the entrees and the night for me is going down. The Blue crab patties . I don’t think I’ve ever eaten crab cakes, that didn’t taste of crab. This”crab” cake literally tastes like rice and flour, that’s it. We did order and the skewer lamb were completely over cooked. Tough, it chewed like a overdone steak. My wife, is trying to keep the night alive but she has a gnat in her drink. So… Yeah. It wasn’t the best first impression but IF I did decide to go back I will NOT be seated in the Fly room! And will not order the lamb skewers. The meatball pretty good.

Recently dined in for the first time and our server Josh was amazing! He explained everything that we were curious about, gave great recommendations and phenomenal service. We started with the focaccia then had the lasagna and spicy rigatoni with steak. 10/10 and of course cheesecake for dessert! Will most definitely be returning!

This was my first time to visit George’s and overall it did not disappoint! It has great atmosphere and the food presentation is as beautiful as it is delicious. Once seated, serice was efficient and cordial. From my observation while waiting to be seated, food prep was fast and moving out of the kitchen quickly. From the meatball appetizers to the cheesecake desserts everything going by looked wonderful.

The only negative I observed during my visit on a night that was busy, but not packed, was potentially the need for another host/hostess. In addition to seating, the hostess also appeared to be assisting with table prep, and occasional service. I don’t know if this is typical, but could have been related to a staff member being out.

Nonetheless, as a first visit…I highly recommend George’s for an elegant night out to treat yourself or for a couple date night.

I intend to go back and try the wild mushroom & stracciatella agnolotti entree and lemon mousse (which looks to be a seasonal offering).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Every dish was balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with intention.
We ordered the lasagna, rigatoni with spicy vodka sauce (you must add steak!!), lamb chops, and pistachio gelato for dessert and each one stood out in its own way.

The rigatoni was rich and spicy without being overwhelming, and the added steak was honestly incredible. Cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. The lamb chops were another surprise. It was beautifully seasoned with herbs, not overly gamey, and really well executed (and I don’t usually go for lamb). The lasagna was classic and comforting, and the pistachio gelato was clean and nutty, a perfect finish.

Service was smooth, the space felt welcoming, and the kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing. One of the best Italian meals I’ve had in Little Rock. I’ll definitely be back.

Their handmade Pastas are excellent!
We enjoyed very much. Drinks are also very good since we dinned at bar. The atmosphere is casual formal. Not really for young family with kids. But super good for two coming here for a quiet dinner. Don’t order too much food, their Cheese cake is a must after meal.
