Service was impeccable. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. Shared the mushroom salad to start and it was perfect. The Aligator/crabcake entree was delicious as was the swordfish — the chef should bottle and sell the pepper jam condiment! The shared banana/caramel cheesecake desert was the perfect end to the meal.

About the restaurant
We do have a lot of fun at Georgia Sea Grill, but we take our commitment to the freshest ingredients very seriously. That's why we grow our own. Only by sourcing our favorite vegetables, fruits and herbs right here at our own Potlikker farm can we be absolutely assured that we are serving nothing but the freshest, healthiest seasonal flavors. Once perfectly-plated with locally-sourced seafood, beef, pork, lamb, poultry, or our own Satilla Ponds farm-raised catfish, you will see and taste the difference that locally-grown brings to the table.
