Quite the Birthday dinner

by Tdow at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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

Atlanta by the Sea

by fogtownrog at Citysearch

I have had the pleasure of dining here at least two or three times a month since the beginning of the year. Normally my friend and I sit in a booth at the bar and are spoiled with attentive service and the very freshest fish. Portions are hearty! The appeitzers, salads and entrees are tasty! The wait staff are attentive and helpful. One night we had not such great service and the manager apologized profusely and ensured that our next visit would be a pleasant one. Kudos for the Buckhead Life Group. Every one of their establishments are first class!!!

• Pros: Freshest fish, great service, friendly staff, valet parking is quick and easy!
• Cons: They are so popular the place is always packed! Its a large house, so the waits aren't long!

A Swim Above The Rest!

by jaymaygm at Citysearch

My first encounter with The Fish Market, as it was originally known, was over twenty years ago. It was located on the lower level of Lenox Square, where the food court is now. My late father would sit at the bar, facing shoppers, eating oysters and drinking martini's, while mom worked his credit cards throughout the mall. Today on Pharr Rd., the institution is called The Atlanta Fish Market.

Wonderful building, with a large mural of a who's who in the ATL. Trust me, avoid the crowds, and sit in the bar area, in a big cozy booth. All the seafood classics are here, as well as hip preparations for the healthy set. We just stick with the signature dish, The Fried Lobster Tail, and a side of crabmeat stuffing. Excellent Service In The Bar Area! An Atlanta classic!

• Pros: Fried Lobster Tail, Drinks, Excellent Service!
• Cons: Large Crowds, Long Waits-Even With Reservations!

Outstanding

by tierrabeauty at Citysearch

Let me start off by saying the service was great. Our waiter and the I guess assistant managers who were walking around were very friendly. I like the fact that the waiter used our names when he came to our table to serve us. I also like the fact that the waiter explained to us the whole menu since it was our first time there. And now to the food. The food was great, excellant! I ordered jumbo shrimp and JUMBO they were. Seasoned very nicely and very fresh taste! I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone, ecspecially all the seafood lovers!

• Pros: Good Parking, Not crowded, Service
• Cons: Bread

Excellent Experience

by dino9401 at Citysearch

This place is great! I had an 8:45 reservation and arrived about 30 minutes early. We were promptly seated. Our server was there immediately and very knowledgeable about the menu. My water and wine glass were never empty and the food came quickly and was absolutely amazing. My plate was clean when I was finished. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an enjoyable evening of seafood.

Buckhead's top-drawer seafood emporium reels in the freshest fish.

by Contributor at Citysearch

In Short
You can't miss the dramatic 65-foot copper fish sculpture that doubles as a welcome wagon. Inside, the roar of voices, a jewel-case display of fresh fish, soaring ceilings, Cadillac-size booths and a massive mural of Atlanta luminaries set the scene at this popular Buckhead restaurant. There's an enclosed bar and private dining, but the action takes place in a large, multilevel room with tile floors and huge chandeliers. AFM's rigorous standards for seafood pay off throughout the entire menu. For starters, try the raw oysters, stone crab claws, thinly battered baby lobster tail or king crab fritters served with a slightly spicy remoulade. Peruvian sea bass Hong Kong-style is a melange of ginger, scallion and light sherry soy nestled on a bed of spinach. Cedar planked short salmon is fantastically smoky and comes with a side of whipped potatoes and corn chowder.

OMG

by harryhou at Citysearch

For those of us looking for a resturant where fish is fresh this is it. The hong kong style presentation is exceptional. The chowder is very good and the bread pudding for desert is on of the best in town. Highly recommended to all.

• Pros: frendly service, large selection
• Cons: noisey
