The service is TERRIBLE!!!

by sunnyf26

We made reservations for 17 for a bridal shower. Upon arrival we had to wait, and were seated at a table that barely held 10 comfortably!!! We were put in the back, and treated like dirt when we asked why were the reservations accepted if they could not accomadate us!!! To top it off they messed up an expensive cake!!!...This restaurant is terrible!..The food was o.k. though.

• Pros: food
• Cons: crowded, service, drinks

get the boca

by lawrencevillemom

Go to the bar, ask Joe for the BOCA, start your night off with a boost!

moved onto oysters, then sushi...hubby got the stuffed lobster. all made to perfection...fresh, and fun!

waiter..was odd, but very attentive.

we ended the night with an oreo cheesecake- yummy, and the apple crumb cake with ice cream...friend thought top should have been crunchier...however, that didnt keep us from finishing it off!

• Pros: always a winner!

Quite the Birthday dinner

by Tdow

I celebrated my birthday yesterday with my girlfriend and I have to say that the food surpassed my expectations. After rave reviews from parents and friends, I finally decided to check it out. Highly recommended was the calamari. The best I have ever had. Not too oily or fishy. Quickly flash fried and served with a great sauce. I had sushi , fried lobster tails and the wedge salad with bacon and blue cheese. Everything was super fresh and cooked perfectly. A nice ambiance throughout the restaurant. I will be visiting again shortly.

• Pros: Wonderful atmosphere, extrodinary food
• Cons: Serving portions could be more generous

Best Seafood in Atlanta

by lluvme

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!

by kpaddrik

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

by Gin01

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

by jazellner

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

Very nice experiences on two occasions

by deevah678

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

as my birthday dinner

by lalababy

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!

by bathome

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
