UPDATE: CLOSED LATE 2007
We'd heard alot about the chef/owner and the family's restaurants on the far west side but hadn't ventured out there. The new place is in a converted house (formerly Aldo's) that's been Frenchified (in a very charming, somewhat formal, but not stuffy, way). The service was great, very personable. The tables were beautifully set, even including a knife rest (in the shape of a dachsund). The food was terrific -- we shared the foie gras appetizer, and then had lamb and sweetbreads. (For those who like this organ meat, this was one of the best preparations in Houston.) We so enjoyed a traditionally French Kir Royale cocktail that we then ordered a bottle of champagne, which was reasonably priced considering the upscale nature of the place.
Chez Georges would be a great special occasion restaurant, particularly if romance is on the agenda. You can actually hear yourself talk, unlike many of the popular places in Houston.
