Fresh seafood, excellent quality. Plates had beautiful, creative presentation. Our server, Adam, was well informed and extremely helpful guiding us through the menu. Top notch service from him the entire night. All in all a 5 Star experience. We had raw and fried oysters, chilled peel and eat shrimp, she crab soup, my husband had the gumbo, and our friend loved the kale salad. The scallops were amazing, cut with a fork like butter.

One of my favorites!
Very good experience
Had an amazing meal and experience here. Will be back every time I’m in Atlanta.
Christian was amazing! I asked A LOT of questions and he happily answered. The duck was amazing, cooked in foie, the scallops were like butter and the fish and chips are delicious and huge (enough for 3 people)! I’m new to the area and he made me feel so welcome!
We went for the Mother's Day brunch and it was great! All four of us enjoyed our entrees and appetizers. And the oysters we're so fresh! What I like the most was how friendly and professional ALL of the wait staff were in welcoming and taking care of us. It made the Day special.
Prompt service ..... reservation made and honored !!!! Amazing ambience!!!! First time but not my last because the food was everything the customer service above 5 Star!!!!
Impeccable service. Good wine, lovely plating. Tad salty, had chipotle calamari and scallops entree with basmati rice side. All were over salted. Ambiance was pleasing, just a bit loud. Packed for a Thursday night!
What a great place! The food and service where amazing.
