Tried it for the third time and have finally found the secret to having a great time at C&S. Rule #1 Sit at the bar. Rule #2 Order whatever you want, but only when you want it served. Rule #3 Let the beautiful and talented, Virginia, do her magic. She could be one of the best "bartenders-at-a-restaurant" in Atlanta.

Overpriced marginal food - not a great seafood experience.. Attentive Service, Good Drinks, and offerings were diverse. Some menu items like the whipped potatoes had no flavor. The Chef forgot to put any sweetener whatsoever in the Crème Brulet desert. At the end of the evening we felt we had everything, except the actual seafood. My medallion of fish on the Prix Fix Sunday offering was less than two square inches. If you really want oysters or a normal portion expect to spend about $100 per person (including one or two drinks). Watch out for the mayonnaise on the rubbery greasy calamari. Thumbs down.

Wonderful staff !. Great location. Great customer service. I'm not a seafood fan but there are a lot of other other options. Thumbs up.

good seafood. the oysters are good but i've tasted better in other places. the ambiance was nice, i got seated in a booth and was served immediately. i had high expectations because it is a seafood and oyster bar, but the food was just so and so. I'm giving it 3 stars for the service and the ambiance.

Bad Seafood and Expensive!. With our recent move to Atlanta from South Carolina, I was thrilled to have an "Oyster Bar" in my area, as I have been eating seafood of every type imaginable since I was a child. My husband and I entered and were pleasantly surprised by the decor. It's "swank", I would say, and had a bar and booths which felt relaxed. Based on recommendations from reviews, as well as our own tastes, we had several things. The truffle fries as an appetizer were thin, crisp, covered with parmesan and reminiscent of truffle. These were by far the best dish of the evening. I had 2 dozen raw oysters of various types and they were so-so in quality. . .which disappointed me only because they were at least $2 each! We had the mussels in white wine sauce, which were HORRID. In fact, they smelled terrible and tasted foul, as in spoiled. We immediately sent them back, however could not get the spoiled taste out of our mouth for days. I had the tilapia cooked meniere style, which was terribly overcooked, dry, and somewhat fish-y in taste. All in all, my husband wanted to give this place only one star because along with this terribly unsatisfying meal was an exorbitant price tag. I'm not kidding you, this place is way overpriced, especially for this quality of preparation. I'm giving it two stars because the ambiance is nice as were the truffle chips. Steer clear from the seafood here, however. . .I can cook it better at home. . .and so can you.

Delicious. Had dinner Friday night at C and S for the first time. Pimm's Cup at the bar, wow! The calamari appetizer was literally the best I have ever had. My swordfish au pouivre was ok, but my friend's grilled shrimp with lemon buerre blanc and spinach was outstanding. Excellent service in an upscale atmosphere but still completely relaxed. I'll go again!

yummy yummy!!. my husband and I went for our anniversary and it was a great experience! We were greeted when we entered the restaurant with smiling faces and were seated very promptly. They had a wide variety of wines and fun mixed drinks. Service and food were both amazing!! We are calamari "buffs" and it was the best we have ever had!! We will definately be returning!!

great great food and best service in town. My wife and I love this restaurant. We have been dining here since it opening a few years ago. The servers are on par and their seafood is prepared the best I have ever had in a landlocked city.

I have read some of the other reviews and am questioning if you got the name of the restaurant correct. The service here is unsurpassed. I am a retired Colonel and have very high expectation when it comes to service and respect and have nothing but incredible experiences every time we have dined in this establishment. Do yourself a favor and try it!

Only place in Atlanta to get a NYC dining experience. This has to be my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. After 4 different wonderful experiences, I have finally made the verdict. My husband and I absolutely love this restaurant. The appetizers are to die for, especially the calamari, homemade chips and tuna tartar.

My husband is a steak eater and swears they have the best steak in town. I only eat the fish. It is so fresh always and prepared in the best possible way. We are always greeted with a warm smile and our service has been nothing less than impeccable. It is so nice to go to a fancy restaurant and really be able to enjoy the dining experience and freindly staff, along with wonderful food. I just can't say enough good stuff about this place.....you HAVE to go check it out. They should put me on their payroll because I am telling everyone I see to go to C&S Oyster Bar!

Great Food and Service. My husband and I had dinner there last night for the first time. We just moved to Vinings from Chicago. What a treat. We started with the Blackberry Point oysters and and goat cheese beingets they were both excellent. For main course I had the Salmon with Truffle butter and hubby had the NY Strip both were fantastic. Tim S. was our server and he was 5 star.

I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great seafood or steaks
