get the boca

by lawrencevillemom at Citysearch

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!

Very nice experiences on two occasions

by deevah678 at Citysearch

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

Delicious entrees, good for diverse groups

My husband and I went to the Atlanta Fish Market Friday night. We were about 5 minutes late for our reservations because of traffic, and it was another 5 minutes before we were seated. We opted to skip the appetizers and get salads instead. His cesar salad was good, and my "AFM" dinner salad was good. His said his blackened Alaskan halibut was an incredible piece of fish and worth the $24 price. I had a good linguini pasta dish without seafood since I can't stand seafood. Dessert for my husband was a hazelnut chocolate cake, and I got the toffee chocolate pie. Both were very yummy and very heavy. I brought about half of my dessert home. The service was pretty decent as far as the pace of the courses and drink refills, but our server stopped by a few times to casually chat while we were eating our food. We had to ask him to let us finish our meal before talking. No offense, I was there to talk to my dining companion, not the waiter.

We were surprised at how casual and diverse the restaurant clientele was. There were families with small, well behaved children, older couples, and people our age in groups. This is the most casual of the Buckhead Life Group restaurants I've been to. People were in everything from skirts to shorts and sandals. Given the quality of the food, we will be back. It would be a nice place to go with another couple or two.

• Pros: Excellent food, good desserts, good for families with children, valet parking
• Cons: Chatty servers, waiting even with reservations

decent but over priced

by tarheel72 at Citysearch

the seafood was good, but nothing what i had heard and read about...maybe it was because we ate there for lunch instead of dinner...the place was essentially empty on a saturday with only 3 other tables taken..and the disappointing food was very very overpriced

• Pros: ambience
• Cons: cost, disappointing taste

My boyfriend and I went for Valentine's Day. We had a 10pm reservation and arrived early. We were seated before 10. We waited about 5 minutes before we even got water. Our waiter finally showed up, but ran away before we could even order. He proceeded to do this until we finally told him we'd like to order entrees. His only saving grace as our waiter was his fish recommendation. The food was incredible! The only negitive comment we would have would have to be the service. We expected a little more, especally for a higher end restaurant and Valentine's Day.

• Pros: food, fresh seafood
• Cons: service

I went there several weeks ago got lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Having lived in New England for many years, I'd been looking for a fish restaurant that offered baked, broiled cod and some other simply done fish. Their raw bar was also very good, as I had 1/2 dozen clams which are not easy to get in Atlanta. The cod was fresh and done right. The price is not inexpensive but neither is Legal Sea Food in Boston. It's hard in Atlanta to get simply done fish and especially clams. I enjoyed it very much.

• Pros: Raw Bar, Selection of fish, method of preparation
• Cons: price, location

Definitely BEST seafood in town!

by NewtoATL at Citysearch

Food was incredible ... the chowder was spicy, flavorful and full of clams. The cashew-crusted swordfish was fresh and tasty. I also enjoyed the imaginative sides that went along with the fish. My only complaints were the hour-long wait for a table and the watered down drinks we were served at the bar while we were waiting!! Not only do they NOT know how to make a good Cosmopolitan ... they only filled the glass half full.

It's a Fish Market

by bmv98 at Citysearch

Service wasn't all that good. I was seated next to the waiter station and overheard a few waiters complaining about a tip. If the service would have been a little faster I'm sure the tip would have been a little bigger. It such a big spot they should have had more waiters. Other then that the food is the bomb (EXCELLENT!!!!!)

• Pros: Location, Good Parking, Reasonalble Prices
• Cons: Location, young wait staff

Fresh fish, busy yet fun environment!

by veromano at Citysearch

I've always gotten good service, and recommend the Chilean sea bass Hong Kong style. Don't go here if you're looking for a quiet place, it's more of a loud/busy environment. Great bar area but gets crowded.

• Pros: Daily menu, Extensive wine list, Lots of wait staff
• Cons: Busy, Loud
