Atlanta Fish Market

Highly Overated

by jazellner at Citysearch

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

as my birthday dinner

by lalababy at Citysearch

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

Good food & service.......... terrible atmosphere & seating.

by gidget5382 at Citysearch

We had a reservation and were seated after 1 drink at the bar. It was just my husband & I for our anniversary dinner, we had read all the rave reviews & had to come here.

We were seated at a McDonalds style 2 seater cafe table. Servers were rushing past us the entire meal and our food only just fit on the tiny table! We pretty much felt we were in the way and like sheep herded to one side. My husband ordered Crab legs on a steak, but they had run out (at 7pm), so he ordered crabcakes instead. I got the lobster & both meals were brought out prompty & cooked perfectly.

We had no complaints about the food or the service. Our waitress was pleasant and friendly & was knowlegable of the menu. The atmosphere of the place was just terrible, there was no ambience. Definitely not a romantic restaurant, they packed so many people in there to maximize profit that all you could hear was a mixture of conversations & the clanking of plates and cutlery (i felt like I was in a mall food court). I would maybe come back here in a large group, but that's it!

• Pros: Good food, great service
• Cons: No ambience, bad seating

TRAP

Poor service

by covergerl at Citysearch

Went with a group of 18 for a relative's 80th birthday, we had confirmed reservations. When we arrived they were only expecting 16, they were rude, did not offer us drinks or water, waited a long time for entrees, and some of the waters even took our plates out from under us while we where eating. We spent over $1000 on dinner and our evening was ruined.

• Pros: Great pork chops, cool fish statue
• Cons: crowded, poor service, mixed up reservations

Excellent food but service needs improvement.

by dweebe at Citysearch

Some of the best seafood I've had in any city. Many options to choose from.

Service was rough though. Server seemed nervous and new. Salad and soup came out at the same time.

Entrees were excellent.

A long wait w/reservations

by lwskittles at Citysearch

We had 8:30 dinner reservations. We got there early and were not seated until 9:00. It was pretty noisy. The good was wonderful, but combined with the noise and long wait I would not go there again.

• Pros: good parking
• Cons: , too crowded

Good Sub-Average Food

by rcconroy at Citysearch

If this is Atlanta's best for seafood, Burger King would make a good steak house! The food is substandard at best. It looks like seafood. It tastes like seafood. Yes, it's seafood, but it's not worth the price when compared to the Lobster Bar or even Pacifica. The menu paints a beautiful picture, but the food doesn't meet the expectations.

• Pros: Looks Great
• Cons: Bland and Boring

Too Crowded, Too Impersonal

by odd3 at Citysearch

Atlanta Fish Market is too big and too crowded. The last time I went there I was completely ignored and finally left after having not been seated one hour after my reservation time. While the food is usually good, it does have a certain industrial, mass produced quality to it. The ambiance is reminisant of the old Atlanta Stadium. Looking for a family business with a personal touch? This isn't it. But, it is perfect for anyone who enjoys being a faceless part of the masses.

• Pros: fresh fish
• Cons: crowded, expensive, impersonal
