Initially we were disappointed at the reduced menu options compared to our last visit and there may be people who wouldn't find choices that they liked. I had two small plates rather than a larger dish. My mussels were really very good and the scallops were even better. The service was excellent. Prices are a bit steep, but I was very happy with my food and with the service.

The menu is greatly reduced from the last time we went there, it feels like they are going more tapas than main course items. The food is great, I just really liked the flexibility of the old menu

I took my wife for our anniversary dinner. The location and the ambience are great. A little noisy for a more intimate dinner, but the place was packed the night we went. They start your meal off with the most delicious bread. Ive seen it posted in multiple reviews and yes it's worth the hype. Savory, soft, salty! We then move on to appetizers. We had the octopus, rock shrimp (not on the menu), and raw oysters. Great selection and great oyster, our favorite were the Blackberry and Duxbury prime. The rock shrimp was a bust: small shrimp soaked in butter and lacked all sense of flavor. The octopus was chewy and overcooked and drenched in a sauce. Now our main dishes were amazing. My wife had the (Sole?Wolffish?), she can't remember and it's not on the current menu. The breading was perfect and the first was not overdone. Paired with the black-eyed peas, this felt like more of a southern style savory dish. I believe (I also honestly can't 100% remember now) I had the redfish with a celery puree. I do remember the fish was cooked perfectly and paired well. We devoured our entrees! We also ordered drinks. Honestly not bad. Pretty good bartenders. I had the Topsail and while it was good, not worth the price. Service was okay. Our server was good but not the most attentive. She also made some recommendations, but pretty much everything recommended was not great. Overall for the bread, oysters, and entrees, I enjoyed this place. Really hit an miss with somethings, but worth a visit if you're looking for good seafood in midtown.

The sea bass wasn't the best and the fries were less than what I would have expected, but the rest of the food (appetizers mainly) were really great.

If you like being finessed this is the place to be!!! Firstly, going to a seafood restaurant in a landlocked city should’ve been my first red flag, that’s on me. Secondly, $20 parking in the lot next to it (tried to charge my partner $40 when he pulled up 5 minutes later, pathetic) with no other street parking available should’ve been my last red flag and a sign for me to go home. But alas, they charge you if you cancel your reservation, so here we are.Onto the food- I’m not sure who gassed Atlanta’s head up to charge extra for vibes, but they need to be in prison. I’m so tired of paying for ambience in a mediocre venue. The oysters were small and pathetic (mind you, $3.60 PER OYSTER). The charbroiled oysters was the bigger joke ($17 for F O U R oysters…..). The portion of the swordfish was an abomination for the price. The taste was average at best (and I’m really trying to be nice here).The service was just not it either. I try to give the benefit of the doubt with busy Saturdays but there was no attention to detail, no checking on us, nothing. My friend asked for ketchup 3 times and it was never brought to the table. I actually wanted to order another drink because the first one was decent (overpriced, but expected). But from the time she put the food out to all of us finishing the food, she was no where to be seen.I really try to see the best in this city but this experience solidified something I’ve always thought in the back of my head: ATLANTA IS NOT A FOODIE SPOT AND IS THE LAND OF THE SCAM!!!Save your money and go to a McDonalds. You’d get 100x better service and food there compared to here.Parking: Expensive parking, lot will charge you different amounts depending on your car.

We had a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner at 6:30pm. We were seated right away and ordered a bottle of Prosecco. But they were all out - at 6:30pm on Valentine's Day - seemed odd. The manager came and spoke to us and sent someone to their other restaurant to get some bottles. We were happy and appreciative of the great service. We order a salad the trout. The trout was delicious! Would definitely go back for that again. The sea bass looked amazing also - the couple next to us ordered it. We tried the red velvet brownie dessert with ricotta cheese ice cream. Very different. The brownie was bit on the firm side and I wasn't keen on the ice cream flavor of cottage cheese. I think you have to really like ricotta cheese to enjoy it. Cute place, we were on the side of the enclosed patio area.

I was excited to dine. Hadn't been before. Really disappointing. The Dessert (donuts) were burnt. Couldn't eat them. The shrimp dish was NOT good. Two people sent them back.

I was surprised it wasn’t more packed on a Friday night. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, the atmosphere was very sophisticated. My only complaint was the people behind us were very loud and obnoxious, not the restaurants fault but it was even distracting at times which was
We waited an hour for our food. Nobody checked on us. And then when the food came it was very average. So disappointing.

Great location and ambience, our server Jordan was excellent. The food was average and not worth the price. The GM sat down at the table with me and my fiancé to chat, which was very weird and unprofessional. Glad we tried the place but will not be returning.

Great atmosphere. Drinks were good. Service was outstanding. The GM came around doing table touches and he was pleasant and personable. Our waitress was top notch. Food and drinks came out timely.

Tasteful seafood themed decor with lots of wood furnishings. Catfish bites were delicious! I expected the texture of the fish to be more rough but it was very smooth and cooked to perfection. The tartar sauce paired well with it. While the portion size of the swordfish was not too big, it was cooked very well and I really enjoyed the au poivre sauce (an unusual accompaniment for a seafood dish) along with the potatoes and parsnips. The NY strip had a delicious charred crust and the kale, which soaked up the savory sauce, introduced an interesting texture to the dish. We ended the dinner on a cheerful note with the ricotta donuts which were the perfect level of sweetness (not too sweet). Pretty pricey but well worth the splurge.
Great food and
