Lay off AFM

Please do not get your feelings hurt when they dpon't ahve violins and flowers waiting.
A lot fo the reviewers on here seem shocked that AFM is noisy and busy and pricey. Well firts, keep in mind it is a seafood house. They never claim to be romantic or secluded. It is in one of the busiest parts of Atlanta. They get thousand sof visitors everyday and Lobster is expensive anywhere you go.
The bottom line is you go here for great fresh seafood when you have some time to kill and can relax with people you enjoy talking to.
Our service was great but don't cry if you have to wait 5 minutes on your drinks on a Friday night. There are places where you can get food very quickly. They are called drive-thru's.
- Pros: portions, lobster and salmon, service
- Cons: noisy, busy
Best Seafood in Atlanta

I really love this place. I've been there about 4x's and each time I go we leave full and satisfied. Everything was great from the appetizers all the way to deserts. They make great alcolohic drinks too. I ordered the King crab legs that came with asparagus and mashed potatos. Excellent choice if you are a crab llover and plenty of food to take home. My husband ordered the stuffed lobster. YUMMY! OMG you will be in heaven when you taste either entree. I recommend this place to anyone new in town or just looking for good seafood. The servers are very knowledgable as well. I'm going this Saturday for Valentines and I just can't stop thinking about it. My mouth is watering now......
A Must for Atlanta Seafood!

When I want seafood in Atlanta, I always think of the Atlanta Fish Market. With fresh catch flown in daily, it is by far the best option in the city. They have a large menu selection for both lunch and dinner, with personal favorites such as the Peruvian Sea Bass, Grouper Francese, Crab Cakes (hands down the best I have ever had), and the legendary Fried Lobster Tail. Also, don't miss out on the Blue Cheese Caesar Salad, Fish Market Iced Tower, or the fabulous sushi menu!
As a native Atlantan and frequent diner of AFM, I have never once had anything but exceptional service. The wait staff is friendly and personable and very attentive. The atmosphere is perfect, fun and airy but also quiet enough to enjoy your conversation.
- Pros: Fresh Seafood, Attentive Servers, Complimentary Valet
Disappointment

The decor was out of date. As soon as you walk in you can see the floor tiles are all broken off. Tables are put together so it looks like a cafeteria, not a romantic restaurant. We ordered the tuna carpaccio for an appetizer and all you could taste was the oil and onions drizzled on top. It was too oily for my liking. My main course of halibut tasted okay, but the green beans tasted like they were from a can (they were overly cooked) and the potatoes had a gamey taste. I'm not sure if they put chicken stock in them. The only redeeming quality was the good service, but it wasn't enough to bring us back.
Highly Overated

I went to AFM on 10/4/08 because it was my sister's birthday and she wanted seafood so AFM is regarded highly for having great food. Firstly, we made reservations for 8:30 we didn't get seated right away because the whole party hadn't arrived yet. Okay, so once we all got there we still weren't seated. We got seated at about 9:15. What's the point in making reservations if we were going to have to wait anyway? Okay so we got the the Hot Tower appetizer for free since we complained about them not seating us on time. Then when we got our food.... for the price they charge for fish they sure don't give you enough. My waitress was very nice and the atmosphere was nice. The drinks were okay but other than that..... Not very special
- Pros: Location, Atmosphere, Drinks
- Cons: Pricey food and you don't get enough

This is my favorite seafood place in the city by far. No other restaurant compares for fresh seafood in Atlanta. The Interior is a little boring but still nice. I recommend it to anyone who loves seafood
Very nice experiences on two occasions

I've been to the Atlanta Fish Market twice, and I've enjoyed the quality of the food and the service both times.
I went the first time for a business lunch several months ago and also had dinner there last week. For dinner, my husband and I started out with the Calamari and an order of sushi. Our entrees were delicious and the service was top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant. We did make reservations and did not have a problem getting our table right away.
- Pros: Service, Food Quality, Menu Selection

This popular restaurant offers a huge selection of seafood choices. There are some delicious dishes here. I have enjoyed every entree that I have tried. My favorite dish is the crab caked, I absolutely love this dish which come with mashed potatoes and cream corn.

The food here was good and my service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and we were asked how we liked the food and everything from who I think is the owner. I would say make reservations for dinner time and they have normal seafood and also sushi, but I did not try the sushi. Recommended for seafood lovers.
- Pros: food, service
What a disappointment!

I am relatively new to Atlanta and have been very impressed with the quality of the restaurants in this restaurant group. I took a visiting freind to AFM for dinner, expecting a very good experience. The service was poor. We had to wait what I considered a long time to order (for a Wednesday night when the restaurant was not crowded). The salads came before the appetizer course - no big deal. However, we sent the entree back when it arrived and still no appetizer course. When we did get our ceviche, it was warm and would have been much better chilled. When the entree arrived the second time it was barely warm. Overall, the food was mediocre. I won't be going back.
- Pros: Comfortable atmosphere
- Cons: Service
