Nice atmosphere, delicious food...but I have a problem when a $200 meal (with no alcohol) has the quality, but sacrifices quantity for showmanship, and that’s just not my cup o’ tea. Service was outstanding but I can’t see myself returning when I can get a more filling meal at Atlanta Fish Market, Legal Seafood or Rays for the same price.
My visit was nothing less than sublime. The staff at the front door was warm and very welcoming. I felt as if they were truly happy for me to be their guest. Service was impeccable and the food was delicious.
Fantastic restaurant. Food was amazing. The octopus appetizer was great. Staff was on top of it. A must if you are in Atlanta.,
One of my favorite restaurants. Great food and service.
Good service. Good food. Service: waitress chose very good items for an oyster selection. We like raw oysters yet lack knowledge of them. We are working on the subject. The waitress was knowledgeable about the wines and my desires. I was happy with her suggestion. I didn’t care for the gumbo. Fish & chips is very good; @ $20+ it better be good and the Bronzino was excellent despite the fact that the fish was looking at me. I don’t want eyes on my plate. Just saying. Good place but for the money I want more.
Great Food, from the burger to seafood!! Happy Hour is really cool also. If you love seafood check this place put!
Hands Down best Seafood Ever passing through Atlanta and stumbled upon a awesome restaurant
Great atmosphere and service. Our server was polite and knowledgeable on each menu item and was able to answer any questions we had. The night we went the restaurant was packed and our server was slammed. My order was put in wrong but he quickly fixed it and provided a comp for the error. Overall it was an amazing experience and I️ will definitely be back.
